1950–2024 European Athletics Championships

European Athletics Championships

The European Athletics Championships is a biennial (from 2010) athletics event organized by the European Athletic Association and is recognized as the elite continental outdoor athletics championships for Europe.

First held, for men only, in 1934 in Turin, and separately for women for the first time in Vienna in 1938, the Championships took place every four years following the end of the World War II, with the exception of the 1969 and 1971 editions, becoming a joint men’s and women’s competition from the third edition in 1946 in Oslo. Since 2010, they have been organized every two years, and when they coincide with the Summer Olympics, the marathon and racewalking events are not contested. From 2016, a half-marathon event has been held in those Olympic years, and both the marathon and half-marathon events held as part of the Championships also function as the principle European elite team events at those distances.
