List of European Champions in Athletics

[edit]

The European Championships in Athletics is a quadrennial athletics competition which features a number of track and field and road events. It is the top-level outdoor athletics competition in Europe and is run by the European Athletic Association (EAA). The championships began in 1934, initially comprising only men's events. The following championships in 1938 were hosted by two separate cities, Paris and Vienna, with the men's and women's championships running concurrently. The two championships combined to form a single event in the first post-war championships in 1946. The event broke with the quadrennial format for a short period, with championships in 1969, 1971 and 1974. From the 2010 Championships onwards, the event will be held biennially.

The track and field events featured in the European Championships are similar to those of the Olympic Games, with competitions for both men and women in most events. A number of events have been added to, and dropped from, the schedule over the course of the competition's history. Athletes eligible to compete are those who belong to a national athletic association which is a member of the EAA. World, area and national records have been set by athletes at the championships in a variety of events. European Champions have been stripped of their titles in the past due to the use of banned substances.

Similarly, the events comprising the pentathlon were changed over the competition's history, with the 100 metres hurdles replacing the defunct 80 metres hurdles in 1969, and the 800 metres event taking the place of the 200 metres in 1978.
