EKO Cyprus international athletics meeting held in Limassol

On Friday, May 29, 2026, the EKO Cyprus International Athletics Meeting took place at the Tsirio Athletic Center in Limassol with over 3,500 spectators. The event set a record for the meeting with a total score of 79,599 points, despite a dispute by the Cyprus Amateur Athletic Association regarding the timing of World Athletics ranking data. Greek Olympic champion Miltiadis Tentoglou achieved a world-leading long jump of 8.49 meters in his final attempt. Pole vaulter Emmanouil Karalis cleared 6.00 meters, marking his 20th career performance at this height. Iosif Kesidis set a new Cypriot record in the hammer throw with a distance of 77.84 meters. Other notable results included Irina Budzinska's long jump of 6.89 meters and Talea Prepens' 200m victory in 23.16 seconds. The meeting organizers noted that while performance scores were high, the inclusion of world rankings was affected by a date discrepancy in the federations' system.
