The evening will feature six events and athletes as Russian Anna Pyatykh, Serbian Biljana Topic (both in triple jump), Russian Aleksandra Fedoriva (100-meter dash and hurdles) and Bulgarian Venelina Veneva (high jump). Topping the bill among the Greek stars will be pole vaulters Aphroditi Skafida, Nicole Kyriakopoulou and Dimitra Emmanouil as well as triple jumper Voula Papachristou and sprinter Maria Karastamati.
