According to the IAAF web site, this is NOT an IAAF Grand Prix meet.

Based on the record board it looks as if the Women's shot put has never been contested at Uberlandia

It's an IAAF Area Permit Meeting with a Grand Prix title of its own.

One side of me says that the IAAF should "trademark" the term Grand Prix as it applies to track meets and tell member federations they aren't allowed to devalue the brand name by putting it on inferior productions.

The other side says that those two simple words probably go a long way towards promoting the sport at the local level and more meets should use it.

Neither side is winning at this point.

It's an IAAF Area Permit Meeting with a Grand Prix title of its own.

I think the Grand Prix title may be a reference to its being part of some kind of Brazilian or South American Grand Prix.
