The Fanny Blankers-Koen Games, abbreviated as FBK Games, is an annual track and field event at the Fanny Blankers-Koen Stadion in Hengelo, Netherlands. It is named after Fanny Blankers-Koen in 1981, but was named Adriaan Paulen Memorial after Adriaan Paulen between 1987 and 2000. It has been part of the World Athletics Continental Tour since 2021.
History
The first edition was organized on 6 June 1981."[https://resolver.kb.nl/resolve?urn=ddd:011205105:mpeg21:a0744 Atletiektoppers naar Hengelo]" (in Dutch), De Telegraaf, 6 June 1981. Retrieved 17 July 2024. Its name honours Fanny Blankers-Koen, who won four gold medals at the 1948 Olympic Games.
It was known as the 'Adriaan Paulen Memorial' from 1987 to 2000, in memory of another Dutch athlete, but when Fanny Blankers-Koen was elected as the best female athlete of the 20th century by the IAAF in 2000, it was decided to use the original name "FBK-Games" again.[http://www.fbk-games.nl/vervolg.asp?mid=Historie&nid=&taal=en FBK history.] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071020041403/http://www.fbk-games.nl/vervolg.asp?mid=Historie&nid=&taal=en |date=2007-10-20 }} — accessed July 25, 2008.
From 2003 to 2009 IAAF classified the FBK Games among IAAF Grand Prix meetings and from 2010 to 2019 it was a IAAF World Challenge meeting. The 2020 event was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.{{cite web |url= https://www.fbkgames.nl/en/nieuws/FBK-Games-2020-afgelast |title=FBK Games 2020 cancelled due to COVID-19 |website= FBK Games |date= March 24, 2020 |access-date= August 21, 2023 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20230821131840/https://www.fbkgames.nl/en/nieuws/FBK-Games-2020-afgelast |archive-date= August 21, 2023 |url-status=live}} Since 2021 it is a World Athletics Continental Tour Gold level meeting.
