Organised by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), it is one of the athletics meetings that make up the IAAF Combined Events Challenge. Male and female athletes compete in the decathlon or heptathlon, respectively, and points scored at the Hypo-Meeting count towards a yearly total for the parent competition.
History edit
In 1972, the Montfort community for athletics (Leichtathletikgemeinschaft Montfort) was founded in Götzis, Vorarlberg.[2] A year later, the community offered to hold the Austrian Multi-Discipline Championship which they ultimately did in 1975, superseding the traditional multi-discipline event in Schielleiten.[3]
The meeting has been sponsored by the Hypo Vorarlberg Bank AG for over 30 years now, hence its name.[4]
Competition format edit
Following the setup of virtually all major combined events competitions, the events programme is split over two days.
