The 1998
Performances on designated events on the circuit earned athletes points which qualified them for entry to the 1998 IAAF Grand Prix Final, held on 5 September in Moscow, Russia.[4] A further four IAAF Permit Meetings of non-Grand Prix status included point-scoring events in order to allow athletes full opportunities to compete in certain events.[5] Middle-distance runner Hicham El Guerrouj was the points leader for the series, taking 96 points from eight meetings. The highest scoring female athlete was Marion Jones on 88 points over eight meetings – a feat also achieved by men's runner-up Bryan Bronson.
