History

edit

The first meeting was held in 1988, two years after the construction of the Arena Stade Couvert de Liévin to host the 1987 European Athletics Indoor Championships. [2]

From 1988 onwards, the meeting was held every year until and including 2006, skipping 2007-2008 and then being held from 2009 to 2012. Due to technical problems and work delays, the 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 editions were cancelled.[3] In 2018, the meeting was held again as an EA Indoor Permit Meeting. From 2020 onwards the meeting was one of the events of the World Athletics Indoor Tour.

In the early 1990s, it had the name "Memorial Raymond Dubois".[4] In 1993, it changed its name to "St Yorre du Pas-de-Calais".[5] Until 1998, it was listed in the competition calendar as "Meeting Vittel du Pas-de-Calais".[6] From 1999 to 2006, it was known as "Meeting Gaz de France du Pas-de-Calais".[7]
