An open competition, a world-class setting
On Saturday 2 June of this year, take part in an innovative sports competition at Stade Charléty and challenge teams from all over France and Europe! It's not just about individual sports performance: it's your team spirit that can win you a place on the podium.
Track and field events are accessible to all, since running and jumping usually come naturally. Anyone can participate. Instead of being a pure competition, the Challenge also wants to provide an introduction to track and field. It's the perfect occasion to discover the main track and field disciplines and promote them to a larger public.
Track and field events: individual performances, team spirit!
Even so, the competition will be held in conditions to rival the best international sports meets and will provide plenty of opportunity to excel. Show us your stuff by competing in one of the 9 track and field events with your school's team. Professional athletes will also be on hand to share insiders' track and field tips. Various prizes are up for grabs, including shared prizes for schools and individual prizes for the winners of each event!
Football tournament: the 10th event of the decathlon
With an eye to diversity, the 2012 World Academic Sport Challenge will also feature a football event. The tournament (men and women) will be held alongside the track and field events and is a central feature of the decathlon.
