In his speech, the Director of the Meeting, Jean-Pierre Schoebel, recalled that the 31st Meeting was notable for great success on the track, with some very good sporting performances, and in the stands, with a huge number of spectators.
There was also sporting and popular success at the women's and men's shot put competitions; this event was held for the first time in the history of the Meeting, and took place on Port Hercule on 19 July 2018.
The athletes present like Beatrice Chepkoech, Kevin Mayer and Eliud Kipchoge and some partners and institutions did not miss to put on their agenda the date of the next edition which will take place on Friday, July 12, 2019 at the Stade Louis II.
