After reintroducing the Meeting Ciutat de Barcelona in 2008, an event which had not taken place since 2000, this year's 16th meeting has more significance because it will be the final test event for the European Athletics Championships Barcelona 2010.
This meeting stands for the importance of athletics in the Catalan capital and the will of Barcelona's public institutions to support sporting event carrying the city's name and taking place in one of the most important sporting venues.
Barcelona reasserts its good relationship with athletics only shortly ahead of the European Athletics Championships Barcelona 2010. The Míting Ciutat de Barcelona is without any doubt the perfect appetizer for this year's big sporting event.
