The '''Gugl Games''', formerly known as the Gugl-Meeting and the Zipfer Grand Prix, is the largest one-day athletics meet in [Austria](/source/Austria), and is held at the [Linzer Stadion](/source/Linzer_Stadion) in Linz. Founded in 1988 the Gugl-Meeting was an [IAAF Grand Prix](/source/IAAF_Grand_Prix)-status event from 1994 onwards and has changed to EAA Premium status in 2006. Many major athletic stars have participated in the Gugl-Meeting, including [Carl Lewis](/source/Carl_Lewis), [Colin Jackson](/source/Colin_Jackson), [Allen Johnson](/source/Allen_Johnson), [Marion Jones](/source/Marion_Jones), [Iván Pedroso](/source/Iv%C3%A1n_Pedroso), [Maria de Lurdes Mutola](/source/Maria_de_Lurdes_Mutola), [Javier Sotomayor](/source/Javier_Sotomayor). The Linz track is famous for fast 100-m sprint and excellent long jump performances.
On 20 August 2006, Israeli newspaper ''[Ynet](/source/Ynet)'' revealed that the competition had not accepted European Pole vaulting champion, [Aleksandr Averbukh](/source/Aleksandr_Averbukh), due to his Israeli nationality.[{{cite news|url=https://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-3293242,00.html|title = Austrians to Alex Averbukh: don't come|date = 20 August 2006|newspaper = [Ynet](/source/Ynet)|language=he | last1=פורת | first1=אבינעם | last2=אחרונות | first2=ידיעות }}]
After a four-year hiatus, the meet restarted under its new name in 2012 and was held over two days. The 2015 edition was cancelled.[{{cite news|title=Gugl-Meeting droht längere Pause|url=http://www.laola1.at/de/sport-mix/mehr-sport/leichtathletik/keine-gugl-games-helmut-lang/page/112435-320-107-180-.html|publisher=laola1.at|language=de|date=15 May 2015|access-date=19 July 2015}}]
