On 17th July, it'll be party-time at the Stade de France! After all, it's not everyday that you play host to the world's top athletes and, in particular, a certain Usain Bolt who knows as much about creating a party spirit as he does about setting records. The organisers know only too well that these great occasions must be shared, both for the enjoyment of the spectators as well as making it an unforgettable moment for the athletes.

How will it work?

Jamaica will be the focus of all the entertainment proposed this year: the colors, the music... everything will be in place to pay special homage to the country where athletics is king. However, it will also be an opportunity to put on a display of top level athletics to a wide audience, so it is important the public are able to "decipher" the various disciplines and be offered explanations about what's happening in the stadium so that it is accessible to all.

The entertainment on offer:

Before spectators have even found their seats, they can enjoy some entertainment organized in and around the Stadium the minute they arrive. Notably this includes two Jamaican Villages (one on each side of the Stadium) provided by the sports gear manufacturer and partner to both the Meeting and to Usain Bolt - PUMA - a village where you are offered the chance to run against the fastest man in the world - at the end of the aptly named "speed trap" test. 8 or 9 winners will be retained to run a 100m on the Stade de France track - the whole thing judged by Mr Usain BOLT in person! There will also be a Jamaican market to taste the "local" smoothies and a "flash/photo" measuring your speed in front of a blue screen, culminating with each participant being in a photofinish with Usain Bolt!
