Zurich, Rome, Monaco, Eugene

I occasionally get email from a European outfit called “All-Athletics” which bills itself as “the most comprehensive athletics database.” I have to wonder what Mirko Jalava thinks of this tag line.

At any rate, their most recent email included a list of “competition rankings” among one-day events this year, and the top four ranked as listed in the title of this post: Zurich Weltklasse, Rome’s Golden Gala, Monaco’s Herculis, and Eugene’s Prefontaine Classic.

I’m not going to argue with their competition rankings; Pre was a great meet this year, and next year with the Diamond League in place it’s not going to suffer any. But looked at as a list of cities… well, one of these is different. Anyone? Anyone?

    Thinking it over quite a few days, but it must be Eugene, not in Europe, not a ‘major’ city, only one named after an athlete (although I don’t know who Herculis Zepter was)… my best guess.
