Athletics: Iaaf Grand Prix In Zagreb, Croatia

The Zagreb International Athletic Meeting, better known as the Boris Hanzekovic Memorial or Hanzek, is one of the oldest and most respected sporting events in Croatia and takes place on 4 July. Over the last 50 years the event has been the stage for numerous athletic stars and has seen its popularity steadily rise. After being a Grand Prix Permit Meeting for two years, Zagreb went on to become a Grand Prix II and then in 2001 was ranked among the top 20 meetings in the world. 2003 marked its first outing as an IAAF Grand Prix, a status it thoroughly deserves.
