And what about the research I did for the 93 Games? Do you think it's incorrect?

You're welcome

EDIT: I see that you edited your post Where did you find the 18.555 number? I only found the recent capacity, which is 12.000.

Many don't know but Mediterranean Games are important organization for Mediterranean countries like Commonwealth Games are important for British World.

It prepares the new athletes for the Olympics. Many Olympic champions make their debut at the Mediteranean games. Many countries got some new stadia with the help of this organization. This is the only oppostunity for some countries and cities to host an event.

sometimes Mediterranean Games prepares a country for a future Olympic Organizations as we saw in Athens and Barcelona.

Of course the Games are important
Thanks to them my city got excelent and beautifull stadium and pool complex, indoor Arena, new roads etc..
We still feel benefits from it although almost 30 years have passed (1979)

[Kuvvaci]

thank you for this info

How many new athletes used those complexes? Who knows? Maybe one of them was Blanka Vlasiç!

[Delmat]

Hundreds of athletes use them every day.
Some of them are/were Blanka Vlasic, Goran Ivanisevic, Mario Ancic, tripple European Champion (in a row) in basketball Split (Jugoplastika or POP 84), waterpolo clubs also as european champions, Hajduk Split (Slaven Bilic's native club), handball clubs (Ivano Balic, Metlicic) ....
