Round table for the 25th anniversary of AC&T Sport Consulting to discuss safeguarding

Dec 8, 2022

Round table for the 25th anniversary of AC&T Sport Consulting to discuss safeguarding The fundamental and historical priority of ATLETICAGENEVE on the values and ethical principles that can be summarized, in the very broad sense, of fair play, have positioned ATLETICAGENEVE and also the meetings of the EAP circuit (European Athletics Promotion) with whom she inseparably shares destiny, among precursor events. Starting at the end of the 80s / beginning of the 90s on the principle of fair competition, without cheaters (doping), the concept has evolved over the years, but always having as a priority “here only athletes who give the best of themselves, on equal terms”. From the mid-1990s (with the advent of the fax) all participation contracts required the double validation of the sworn statement not to be doped and sanctions for the transgression of this clause. We…

Sports volunteering party at the Cirque de Noël

Dec 2, 2022

Sports volunteering party at the Cirque de Noël Geneva, 1st December 2022 It is a wonderful initiative that the City of Geneva and “Geneva Bénévolat”, the Geneva volunteering platform (which we have been using for several years) to organize a first celebration of sports volunteering. It was therefore at the Pajazzo’s Cirque de Noël, on the plain of Plainpalais, that all the sports organizations of the canton were invited and met for a magical and wonderful evening, inaugurated by a speech full of motivation, enthusiasm and energy, beautiful words, recognition and, magnificent, beautiful projects from the Mayor of Geneva, Marie Barbey-Chappuis. It is also an opportunity for us, ATLETICAGENEVE, to thank the work that our volunteers do to ensure that our event is where it is. Everyone has contributed, for 34 years, to raising this meeting among the best in the…

Seminar and workshops of Swiss Athletics 2022

Nov 20, 2022

We were present at the traditional Swiss Athletics seminar on November 19, 2022, in particular at the Communication and Ethics workshops. The latter was particularly interesting and very topical for us who were already present at the World Athletics seminar just 4 weeks ago (at the same time as Swiss Athletics). Delighted to (re)see our federation already very actively at work and with the desire to integrate these new standards emanating from Swiss Olympic related to ethics (including in all the processes of the federation itself) and to situations doping, cheating and sexual harassment and abuse. This will have, among other consequences, the modification of the statutes of Swiss Athletics. Our history, directly linked to that of the EAP circuit, shows to what extent we were pioneers, not to say visionaries, (more than 30 years!) in the fight against doping.…

Nash Hotels & ATLETICAGENEVE strengthening their collaboration

Nov 15, 2022

For several years, the Nash Airport Hotel **** has welcomed ATLETICAGENEVE athletes. We can say that the growth of our event resembles that of the Nash. This four-star hotel has undergone spectacular renovations and development with the opening of two additional adjoining structures at the beginning of 2019: the Nash Suites Airport **** and the Nash Pratik ***. This was a good thing because that same year ATLETICAGENEVE received the qualification for the World Athletics Continental Tour / Bronze which further raised the qualitative requirements both for the organization and the infrastructures and for the reception capacities. Today the Nash Hotel is the hotel that offers one of the largest reception capacities in Geneva. The Nash Airport has 173 air-conditioned rooms and suites, the NASH Suites 130 apartments and suites and finally the Nash Pratik 41 rooms, which makes a…

Code of Conduct and Safeguarding policies

Oct 22, 2022

ATLETICAGENEVE was created in 1988 and the objective was to offer an international meeting where Swiss athletes could find high-level but also “clean” international competition. In those years, anti-doping controls were probably less efficient than today and their distribution in meetings was quite rare. We have always voluntarily requested the presence of the control agencies to come and carry out tests (and sometimes they have come), but we introduced from the beginning of the 90s, registrations obliging the athletes to make a declaration on their honor that they weren’t doped. We immediately extended this requirement to all meetings of the EAP circuit and from the end of the 1990s, from the creation of the first EAP website, we put unified registration forms online, with this clause. Today, all the meetings of the circuit, under our impulse, adhere to a Code…

ATLETICAGENEVE at the General Assembly of the EuroMeetings

Oct 22, 2022

ATLETICAGENEVE is a World Athletics Continental Tour / Bronze meeting. It’s not “only” the 36th best meeting in the World, with its 84577 points, is the second best Bronze meeting in the World (and better than 7 Silver and 2 Gold meetings) ! The meeting is also part (and co-founder) of the EAP circuit, where it confirms its position as the undisputed leader since 2006 (16 years!), by achieving a new record for this same circuit. It is also quite natural that ATLETICAGENEVE is part of the EuroMeetings association and therefore present at the General Assembly, which was held in Tallin (EST) on October 22nd. This association has 48 of the best meetings in the world, in fact almost all the meetings of the Diamond League and the Gold Silver and Bronze meetings as well as some new Challengers meetings,…

ATLETICAGENEVE 2022: THE BEST EDITION EVER

Oct 7, 2022

“This June 11, 2022 will have marked a further step forward in the development of the Geneva international meeting. We thus left bad luck behind us (mini tornado of 2019 forcing us to stop the meeting, our very promising, two hours before the end), then the cancellation due to the pandemic in 2020). Here we are again, ATLETICAGENEVE at the highest level! Emblematic of this new milestone: the extraordinary performance in the 100m: 9″98! Meeting record, EAP record, personal best for Charleston Cravont (USA). A hot time like this corresponds to 5th place in the world championships (Eugene), 6th in the Tokyo Olympics and such a performance would have meant the silver medal at the European championships! But this performance is not a unique feat. The entire meeting was very dense. 84,577 points ! Its place at the world level…
