This year, the Gala introduces an updated competition format. Following last year’s successful trial run, the meeting now officially focuses on the four jump events (High Jump, Pole Vault, Long Jump, and Triple Jump), evolving into a premier all-female jumps showcase. This strategic shift is not a future restriction but a dynamic evolution of the institution, as the organizers remain open to new ideas and competitive challenges.

The significance of the Filothei Women Gala remains timeless, as it stands as one of the few athletics meetings worldwide characterized by such specialization and originality. The stadium, known for its unique 200-meter track, continues to offer a one-of-a-kind atmosphere; it is currently the only venue in the world where world-class performances are officially recognized on a track of this specific length.

Today, the Gala honors this legacy while daring to innovate and evolve, remaining one of the most distinctive dates on the global athletics calendar- always dedicated to women in sports.
