Paris – Newsroom morning briefing
Editor-in-Chief: Is everyone here?
Journalists: Not quite... Léa's missing.
Editor-in-Chief: Never mind, let's get started. I'd like us to feature another sporting event this summer that isn't about football. Any suggestions?
Pierre: There's an outstanding event in Monaco: the Herculis Meeting.
Editor-in-Chief: Tell me more.
Pierre: The world's greatest athletes compete there in a single evening of elite competition. For years, the Monaco meeting has been one of the highlights of the international athletics calendar, earning the title of World's Best Athletics Meeting on several occasions, including 2011, 2014, 2015, 2018 and 2020.
Editor-in-Chief: Anything special about this year's edition?
Pierre: Yes. This year marks the event's 40th edition, so it's expected to be an unforgettable celebration of world-class athletics.
Editor-in-Chief: I'm sold.
Léa: Sorry I'm late! So, what have I missed? Do you need me?
Editor-in-Chief: Yes, actually. Pierre is heading to Monaco to cover the Herculis Meeting. Could you send him the contact details for the Port Palace Monte-Carlo Hotel, please?
Léa: You've got to be kidding!
Pierre: Don't worry... I'll send you a postcard. Promise!
