The Golden Gala Pietro Mennea gala is one of my favorite events. I visited in 2010 and 2011 and I loved it! I also think I visited in 2015-2016, but I will have to consult my diary.
This year was tremendous. Trayvon Bromell, a silent and reflective sprinter, is back, with a world led 9.84! Katie Moon, who won for the last time here in 2022, had a clutch performance, cleaning 4.75my 4.80m in his third attempts!
Beatrice Chebet ran an excellent 5,000 meters and shows the world that few can match their brilliance.
