"AtletiCAGenève grade pour ne pas rester en rade"

Le meeting se hisse dans le gotha international. Plus chère mais pas moins populaire, sa 32e édition lancera le 4 x 400 m mixte.
AtletiCAGenève, c’est depuis plus de trente ans un meeting à taille humaine, où l’athlète est au centre et la performance sans artifice. «Le plus grand des petits meetings», a-t-on dit, classé 36e dans la hiérarchie mondiale en 2018. Son hospitalité bon enfant et sa piste aux records ont fait sa réputation. Au stade du Bout-du-Monde, on a vu passer Earl Bell, Christine Arron, Carolina Klüft ou Christophe Lemaitre. Les cracks s’y aventurent volontiers et les jeunes espoirs s’y pressent avec bonheur. Le tout pour des clopinettes et la beauté du geste. Ici, le cachet de la réunion n’est pas une affaire de gros sous.
Seulement, depuis cette année, ce gage de qualité ne suffit plus. Pour attirer les athlètes de pointe, il est désormais recommandé d’arborer le label officiel de l’EAA (l’association européenne) et d’intégrer son circuit. Comme d’autres sports, en mal d’image, l’athlétisme se réinvente. Sa dernière lubie: établir un ranking, comparable à celui de l’ATP, en distribuant des points en fonction du statut des meetings. Le système devait même valider les qualifications pour les futurs grands championnats. Encore à l’essai, pas vraiment plébiscité, il a finalement suspendu cette mesure…
Quoi qu’il en soit, la question s’est posée. Monter en grade ou rester en rade? Après mûre réflexion, quitte à courir un risque, les organisateurs genevois ont décidé de franchir le pas. En acceptant de figurer dans ce gotha, AtletiCAGenève coûtera plus cher mais il veut croire qu’il n’y perdra pas au change. «D’une certaine façon, il était logique que l’on adhère au circuit, commente Walter Zecca, le directeur du meeting, On y a notre place. Mais on ne trahira pas notre philosophie. La promotion de l’athlétisme reste notre priorité, et cela sur tous plans, régional, national et international.»
Ce droit d’entrée a bien entendu un prix, lié aux nombreuses obligations contractuelles. Avec un prize money de 30 000 euros et des surcoûts logistiques et techniques, il doublera le budget de la manifestation, devisé à 97 000 francs l’an passé. «On part en piste pour trouver de nouveaux partenaires et renouveler les subventions de la Ville de Genève et du Fond du sport, indique Walter Zecca. On compte sur Swiss Athletics pour nous ouvrir des portes, sur des synergies avec d’autres meetings, sur la mutualisation de certaines dépenses.» Mais pas question de faire payer le public. AtletiCAGenève tient à son esprit d’ouverture et repose plus que jamais sur le bénévolat. «C’est sûr, on ne comptera pas nos heures», glisse le dirigeant, également entraîneur de Timothé Mumenthaler, l’un des plus sûrs espoirs de l’athlétisme genevois.
À voir, les servitudes sont nombreuses et les avantages encore difficiles à mesurer. «On a la liberté de monter notre propre grille d’épreuves et on aura le bénéfice d’organiser le premier relais 4 x 400 m mixte, qualificatif pour les Mondiaux de Doha. Les Anglais et les Allemands sont déjà sur les rangs. En fait, l’essentiel, c’est que les athlètes aient envie de revenir chez nous», estime Walter Zecca.
Sprunger fidèle au poste
Son titre européen du 400 m haies, la notoriété qu’elle a acquise et sa future délocalisation aux Pays-Bas, là où son entraîneur Laurent Meuwly prendra ses fonctions de coach national en avril, ne bouleverseront pas ses habitudes. Lea Sprunger est trop attachée à AtletiCAGenève (ou au Résisprint de La Chaux-de-Fonds) pour céder à la folie des grandeurs. «Bien sûr que pour me frotter aux meilleures mondiales, je privilégierai les réunions de la Ligue de diamant. Mais je sais trop ce que je dois aux meetings romands et ce qu’ils peuvent encore m’apporter pour que je songe à les bouder», confie l’athlète du COVA Nyon.
Le 15 juin, elle sera donc fidèle au Bout-du-Monde et à son ample piste, sur laquelle elle a si souvent déployé ses grands compas. Qu’importe le statut du meeting, c’est d’abord sa dimension humaine — «La simplicité de son organisation et son ambiance décontractée» — qui prime pour elle. «Mentalement, je m’y suis toujours sentie à l’aise. Si les conditions météo sont bonnes, c’est l’idéal pour démarrer la saison, pour claquer un premier chrono après un gros bloc de préparation et quelques courses de réglage.» Mais en attendant l’été et les Mondiaux de Doha, c’est en salle que Lea Sprunger a lancé sa première campagne 2019 avec un prometteur 52’’35 sur 400 m à Macolin. Son objectif est déclaré: le titre européen à Glasgow (2-3 mars). P.B.

Le meeting AtletiCAGenève se retrouve à la croisée des pistes

Athlétisme L’IAAF a modifié les critères de sélection pour les grands championnats. Une révolution qui impacte l’avenir de la réunion.
Voilà trois décennies déjà qu’AtletiCAGenève sert la cause de l’athlétisme avec la foi du charbonnier et le savoir-faire d’un bricoleur. C’est ainsi, sans jamais sacrifier aux lois du sport business, que la réunion genevoise a acquis une belle réputation. «Loin de la chasse à la thune, en cherchant toujours à favoriser la promotion et la progression des jeunes athlètes», précise Pablo Cassina, son fondateur. Même sans argent à la clé, de nombreux champions ont découvert les charmes du Bout-du-Monde et les vertus de sa piste aux records. On y a vu Carolina Klüft, Christophe Lemaitre ou Lea Sprunger. Souvent, ils sont revenus. «Parce qu’ils savent où ils mettent les pieds», note Walter Zecca, l’actuel directeur du meeting.
Dans un monde sans artifices, AtletiCAGenève aurait pu poursuivre là son petit bonhomme de chemin. Seulement, l’univers de l’athlétisme bouge et l’IAAF, son organe faîtier, remue ciel et terre pour ne pas lui faire perdre son pouvoir d’attraction, surtout après la retraite d’Usain Bolt, son meilleur représentant de commerce. Sa dernière invention: ouvrir les grands championnats, non plus par la grâce de performances (les fameux minima de sélection) mais en vertu de classements et de quotas continentaux. La course aux points (à l’instar de l’ATP) sera ouverte en 2019 et seuls les meetings labellisés y donneront accès. Malheur aux autres…
Doubler le budget
C’est dans cette perspective que l’avenir d’AtletiCAGenève se retrouve chamboulé. Ses organisateurs s’en expliquent: «Par la voix de Christoph Seiler, le président de Swiss Athletics, on nous a demandé si on était d’accord d’intégrer le calendrier des meetings gérés par la fédération européenne. Pour nous, c’est un sacré dilemme. On a fait nos comptes. Pour cela, il faudrait multiplier notre budget par deux.» En d’autres termes, le calcul est simple: adhérer au système, c’est distribuer des points; y renoncer, c’est ne plus faire le poids (lire ci-contre). Le risque est aussi à double effet: perdre de l’argent ou perdre des athlètes, plus vraiment intéressés à venir à Genève.
Après mûre réflexion et parce que le temps presse, Walter Zecca donnera ce jeudi un accord de principe à Swiss Athletics. Met-il un pied dans l’engrenage? «On s’engage pour le bien de notre meeting mais en restant d’une extrême vigilance. Pas question de vendre notre âme au diable. On espère obtenir des concessions et préserver notre liberté d’action. Si ça tourne mal, on se désengagera», répond-il. «Quoi qu’il advienne, il y aura une 32e édition l’an prochain», ajoute Pablo Cassina.
Ce qui devrait changer
Jusqu’à présent 500 athlètes (pour 28 disciplines, dont plusieurs relais) ont participé, en juin, à la 31e édition. Membre du circuit indépendant Europe Athlétisme Promotion et classé meeting B en Suisse, AtletiCAGenève affiche un budget (subvention et sponsoring) de 97 000 francs. 280 nuitées payées, gratuité pour le public (entre 1000 et 2000 spectateurs estimés), 6400 francs de primes alloués aux 12 meilleures performances établies. Sur une piste aux normes internationales, 18% des engagés battent leur record personnel. Prisée des athlètes, la 5e réunion helvétique est bien cotée dans le ranking européen (28e sur 190) et mondial (36e sur 400).
À l’avenir En entrant au bas de l’échelle (catégorie «classic») dans la hiérarchie des meetings labellisés par la fédération européenne (EAA), la réunion du CAG sera soumise à un cahier des charges très contraignant. Sont exigés: des disciplines (et peut-être une date) imposées, 80% d’athlètes européens (ce qui est déjà le cas), un prize money de 35 000 euros, deux nuitées par athlète, une capacité d’accueil de 3000 personnes (tribunes temporaires à installer?), une sophistication du système de chronométrage, un encadrement sanitaire plus important, vingt minutes de highlight TV. Tout cela a un prix: le doublement du budget. P.B.

"Et si AtletiCAGenève était le plus petit des grands meetings ?"

Et si AtletiCAGenève était le plus petit des grands meetings?
Athlétisme Samedi, sa 29e édition promet de faire des étincelles. Président du CAG, Michel Patry tient le champagne au frais.
Samedi, comme à son habitude, Michel Patry sera planqué dans la chambre d’appel, le limonadier à la main et l’œil aux aguets. Au Bout-du-Monde, l’ancien sauteur en hauteur, sélectionné aux JO de Munich, a changé de discipline. A l’heure du vin d’honneur, il fait sauter les bouchons! Avec lui, l’athlétisme est convivial et sans chichi, une posture qui n’interdit pas la recherche de l’excellence.
AtletiCAGenève lui ressemble, à la fois jovial et plein d’élan. «Franchement, on n’a encore jamais réuni un tel plateau», s’extasie le Céagiste de cœur en mettant en exergue la participation de la perchiste brésilienne Fabiana Murer, championne du monde en 2011, ou celle du sprinter anglais Adam Gemili, champion d’Europe du 200 m en 2014. «Oui, peut-être bien qu’on est le plus petit des grands meetings…», admet-il.
Au temps de ses exploits, le Genevois avait 19 ans, la tignasse rebelle et le corps élastique. «Et je n’étais pas plus grand», précise avec malice Michel Patry, devenu depuis médecin de famille et président du Centre Athlétique de Genève. En 1972, il avait franchi 2,15 m en hauteur et décroché son ticket olympique. Une sacrée prouesse. Une belle élévation plombée quelques semaines plus tard par le fracas des armes. «L’attentat s’est produit deux jours avant le concours de la hauteur. Je n’avais plus vraiment le cœur à la fête», se remémore-t-il.
En fait, la carrière athlétique du Céagiste n’a plus vraiment rebondi. «J’avais un genou qui coinçait et d’autres chats à fouetter, les études, le boulot, le ski accro et le football. J’ai tourné le dos au stade. Longtemps, je me suis même désintéressé de l’athlétisme. C’est quand on m’a sollicité, il y a une quinzaine d’années, pour reprendre la présidence du club que j’ai replongé! C’était ça ou la fin du CAG. Je ne pouvais pas m’y résoudre.» Ce retour aux sources lui a offert une cure de jouvence.
Depuis, le club cher à Georges Caillat s’est remis en piste, porté surtout par l’élan de ses sauteurs en longueur, Julien Fivaz et Fatim Affessi. A Varembé, où les installations d’athlétisme ont été exhumées, il cherche une seconde jeunesse. «Le meeting nous donne un coup de fouet, il rappelle notre existence, il valorise notre savoir-faire», note son président. Et d’ajouter, pince-sans-rire: «Il ne nous rapporte rien, sinon du boulot et du stress! Mais on se démène pour le faire vivre, pour satisfaire les athlètes. Et à les voir affluer du monde entier, on se dit que l’on ne bosse pas pour rien…»
Il y a là, dans la confection «artisanale» de ce meeting, la foi du charbonnier et l’art du système D. «Même en ne payant aucune prime d’engagement, on reste sur la corde raide», souligne l’ancien sauteur en hauteur. Avec 90 000 francs de budget (le cachet d’un Bolt unijambiste!), ce 29e AtletiCAGenève fera à nouveau des miracles. Et sans doute des heureux. «Si plusieurs athlètes obtiennent samedi leur qualification pour les Européens d’Amsterdam ou les JO de Rio, ce sera notre plus belle victoire», conclut Michel Patry. Le champagne est au frais!
Le sprint anglais en force
N’en jetez plus, la piste est pleine! A deux mois de Rio, la fièvre olympique s’est emparée d’AtletiCAGenève. «Les athlètes font le forcing pour venir chez nous», indique Walter Zecca, obligé, faute de place, de fermer la porte aux sprinters cubains! Pris d’assaut, les relais 4 x 100 m attisent les ambitions. «Ça se bouscule au portillon. L’équipe d’Italie vient notamment à Genève pour faire mieux que 38’’60 et réintégrer le top 16 mondial», explique le président du comité d’organisation. A Champel, le chrono va flamber, allumé notamment par les cracks anglais Richard Kilty (10’’05), champion du monde du 60 m en 2014, Adam Gemili, qui doublera 100-200 m (9’’97 et 19’’98!), et Harry Aikines-Aryeetey (10’’08). Ça ira aussi très vite sur 110 m haies (avec l’Américain Ryan Wilson, 3e des Européens 2014) ou sur 400 m haies (avec 18 hurdlers sous les 50 secondes, mais sans Kariem Hussein). Dans ce contexte, les athlètes suisses ne manqueront pas de tirer leur épingle du jeu. On pense à Lea Sprunger sur 400 m haies (55’’83 lundi à Bellinzone), à Clélia Rard-Reuse, à qui il ne manque que 6 centièmes sur 100 m haies pour aller à Rio, ou au jeune sauteur zurichois Benjamin Gföhler (8,13 m), à 2 centimètres du sésame olympique. Dommage seulement que Nicole Büchler n’ait pas prévu de faire un saut à Champel où elle aurait croisé la perche avec Fabiana Murer et que Mujinga Kambundji ait déclaré forfait hier. P.B. (TDG)
