Eyes on the sky for the 35th edition of the Golden Gala Pietro Mennea, the fourth leg of the 2015 IAAF Diamond League on 4th June at the Olympic Stadium in Rome (from 19.30). The biggest star will be pole vault Olympic champion and World record holder Renaud Lavillenie. No pole vaulter in history has ever been able to defy the gravity, like the 28-yeear-old French vaulter, who won seven European Outdoor or Indoor titles in his career. He vaulted 6.16m (the same height of a two-storey building) in Donetsk on 15 February 2014 under the roof of “His Majesty” Sergey Bubka. All the biggest stars of the last three decades have competed on  the runway of the Olympic Stadium. 

Historic feats of the most acrobatic athletics discipline have been achieved in this stadium. The last record was broken by Russian zarina Yelena Isinbayeva who thrilled the Rome crowd in 2008 when she broke the World record clearing 5.03m and went on to win her second Olympic gold medal in Bejing. Before her the Rome meeting was highlighted by the unforgettable head-to-head battle in 1984 where Bubka and French vaulter Thierry Vigneron broke the world record twice in the same meeting to the 5.94m clearance vaulted by the former Soviet vaulter who still holds the Golden Gala record. This meeting record is under threat considering the standard reached by le “Roi” Lavillenie, who dominated the first five editions of the Diamond League and cleared 22 times over 5.94 and 15 times over 6 metres in his career.

RUNFEST: A RUNNING PARTY FOR THE GOLDEN GALA: The new addition to the programme of the 2015 edition of the Golden Gala Pietro Mennea will be the RunFest, an athletics party and of the Runcard in the splendid backdrop of the Foro Italico Park. The village will be open from 2nd to 4th June with an intense programme of initiatives focused on the world of running and disciplines like Trail, Nordic Walking and Fit Walking. A series of seminars on nutrition, correct life-styles and sports facilities will be held. The three-day event will be dedicated to everyone and for all ages with nice moments of entertainment for children. On 3th June the runners will take part in the Alba Race, the non-competive 6km race which will start at dawn at the Marble Stadium and will finish inside the Olympic Stadium.
