The Berlin leg served as the series final. Marketing for the series was managed by UFA GmbH. The series was a precursor to the IAAF Golden League, which was created in 1998 as an extension of the previous series, adding the Golden Gala (Rome), Herculis (Monaco) and 1998 IAAF Grand Prix Final (Moscow) to the existing four meetings. The Golden League was later superseded by the IAAF Diamond League, the premier seasonal competition for track and field. The series itself had a precursor in the IAAF Golden Events, which was an effort in the late 1970s and 1980s to encourage the top professional athletes to compete against each other in non-championship settings. Zürich, Oslo and Brussels each hosted a Golden Event in 1978. (en)
