The competition was first held in 1994 as a race over 2000 m in memory of Czech middle-distance runner Josef Odložil – a silver medallist over 1500 metres at the 1964 Summer Olympics, who died in 1993. The programme expanded to a wider selection of track and field events the following year. The meet grew in stature, attracting a number of top-class international competitors, and by 2004 it had gained IAAF Grand Prix status and was broadcast on television by Eurosport.[1] In 2011, it was selected as a "Outdoor Premium Meeting" by the European Athletics Association.[2]

A memorial race over 1500 m is now held in honour of Odložil and features among the list of events at the meeting.[3]

Notes
  1. Leeper is a double amputee paralympic athlete
gollark: I only write for my own systems and whoever is unfortunate enough to try and clone my poorly documented repos so I can use whatever.
gollark: I also don't see why you need a 10D array over just a long 1D one.
gollark: It's probably going to be worse than AES and actual standards like that.
gollark: Please do *not* invent your own cryptography for any serious purposes.
gollark: Anyway, you could just write code for doing so for a 1D array, and then code for filling 10 N-1-dimensional arrays and merging them into a N-dimensional array
