The Gugl Games, formerly known as the Gugl-Meeting and the Zipfer Grand Prix, is the largest one-day athletics meet in Austria, and is held at the Linzer Stadion in Linz. Founded in 1988 the Gugl-Meeting was an 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, Colin Jackson, Allen Johnson, Marion Jones, Iván Pedroso, Maria de Lurdes Mutola, Javier Sotomayor. The Linz track is famous for fast 100-m sprint and excellent long jump performances.

On 20 August 2006, Israeli newspaper Ynet revealed that the competition had not accepted European Pole vaulting champion, Aleksandr Averbukh, due to his Israeli nationality.{{cite news|url=http://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|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}}
