At the initiative of the Department of Education, Youth and Sport, 350 Year 6 (7e) pupils from the Principality’s schools are taking part in the 28th School Athletic Games, which are being held on the Louis II Stadium athletics track. The events on the programme include the 50 metres, 600 metres, high jump, long jump and 400-metre mixed relay. 

Alongside the schools’ physical education teachers, a number of volunteers from the Monegasque Athletics Federation are lending their support to help make the event a success. Marathon runner Paula Radcliffe also answered the call, hoping to share her experience and the values of sport with the young participants. 

In addition, members of the Monegasque Anti-Doping Committee have set up a stand close to the track to raise pupils’ awareness of the dangers of doping.
