The 9th European Athletics Festival in Bydgoszcz (European Athletics Premium meeting) will be called this year ENEA Cup because of title sponsor.
The organisers recently announced a star-studded field for the event on the stadium with blue track which hosted last year World Junior Championships. Four Olympic winners will be competing. Kenyan Pamela Jelimo at 800 m, Estonian Gerd Kanter in discus, Slovenian Primoz Kozmus in hammer and home hero Tomasz Majewski in Shot Put.
At 100 m Hurdles Lolo Jones and double world champion Michelle Perry should be the head-liners. Other Olympic medalists in the start list are Piotr Malachowski in discus, Krisztian Pars in hammer and David Payne at 110 m Hurdles. Majewski will face his US rivals in Shot Put (Reese Hoffa, Christian Cantwell). Bronze medalist Richard Mateelong should be the star of 3000 m steeple.
