Complete medal table

The 3rd  European Athletics Championships took place from 23 to 25 August 1946 in Oslo . With the exception of the marathon and the 50 km walk , the competitions were held in the Bislett Stadium .

Attendees

Although the Soviet Union was not a member of the organizing IAAF and was not yet admitted to the Olympic Games , the president of the association and current IOC president Sigfrid Edström was very committed to this first participation of the USSR in international sports championships. The Soviet athletes were allowed to take part in the European Championships in 1946.

A German team was still excluded from participation up to and including 1950 after the Second World War .

Competitions

There was an addition to the competition catalog for men. With the 10,000 meter walking a second discipline from walking was added. The program of events for women was not changed.

Athletic performance

The most successful nation was Sweden , which was comparatively less affected by the events of the Second World War, with eleven EM titles. The Soviet Union took second place in this rating in its first participation with six gold medals right away. It was followed by Finland with four, ahead of France and the Netherlands with three victorious athletes each, with France having significantly more silver and bronze medals than the Netherlands.

The scoring was based on the 1934 points table.

For orientation and classification of the performances, the scores achieved in 1985 according to the current rating system are also listed for comparison. After that, nothing would have changed in terms of the positions under the first eight, only postponements would have occurred in ranks ten to twelve.

But these comparisons are only indicative, because the different standards of the time must apply as a basis.
