Article title
The title to a very short article about an event this Friday:
---
La piste aux étoiles
Les meilleurs athlètes de la planète seront au stade de France vendredi soir
pour le meeting Gaz de France Paris Saint-Denis, troisième étape de la
Golden League cette saison. De Maurice Greene à Felix Sanchez, les plus
grandes stars seront à Saint-Denis. Les Français, à l’image notamment de
Hurtis, Arron, Raquil et Djhone seront aussi de la partie.
---
All I want is the title. I thought about "Star track", but although it's a clever pun, I don't think it's very clear. Send us your ideas, however crazy they might be.

Hervé du Verle
: fine. However "piste aux étoiles" was also the name -now in common use - of a TV show dedicated to top circus performers. Hard to render that :O)

: If what Hervé says is true, then one could use "Circuit of the Stars" or "Star Circuit" (like Circus...), but it's reaching!

I would have left it in French (it makes sense) and don't forget that "la piste aux étoiles" was a very popular TV show in France during the seventies & eighties...
