The competition was first held in 1994 as a race over 2000 m in memory of Czech middle-distance runner Josef Odložil – a silver medallist over 1500 metres at the 1964 Summer Olympics, who died in 1993. The programme expanded to a wider selection of track and field events the following year. The meet grew in stature, attracting a number of top-class international competitors, and by 2004 it had gained IAAF Grand Prix status and was broadcast on television by Eurosport.[1] In 2011, it was selected as an "Outdoor Premium Meeting" by the European Athletics Association.[2]
A memorial race over 1500 m is now held in honour of Odložil and features among the list of events at the meeting.[3]
