Munich’s magical sporting history makes it the perfect backdrop for the multi-sport European Championships to build on the foundations laid in 2018 and capture the hearts of the continent once again, according to organisers.
Nine sports will take centre stage for 11 action-packed days in the historic German city from 11th to 21st August as athletics, cycling and gymnastics’ European showdowns are infused with newer kids on the block such as sport climbing, table tennis and canoe sprint.
The trailblazing innovation is the brainchild of sports administrators Paul Bristow and Marc Joerg – Co-Founders and Managing Directors of European Championships Management – who first devised the idea more than 10 years ago before battling through broadcasting barriers and resistance to the status quo to put the wheels in motion for the inaugural multi-sport showpiece in Glasgow and Berlin four years ago.
