Complete medal table

The 13th  European Athletics Championships took place in Athens from September 6 to 12, 1982 , for the second time since 1969 . With the exception of the marathons and walking competitions , the competitions were held in the newly built Olympic Stadium, which, however, only lived up to its name 22 years later at the 2004 Olympic Games .

Competitions

There were two changes - again for women - in the competition offer. The marathon was held for the first time and instead of the pentathlon the heptathlon came into the program.

Athletic performance

The most successful nation was the GDR with thirteen European Championship titles . Behind them was the amazingly strong team from the Federal Republic of Germany with eight titles, ahead of the Soviet Union - six gold medals. However, shortly before the start of the European Championships, the USSR withdrew 26 registered participants. The issue of doping played a significant role in this.

• Four new world records have been set:
  • Decathlon : Daley Thompson ( Great Britain ) - 8744 points
  • 400 meter run : Marita Koch ( GDR ) - 48.16 s
  • 4 x 400 meter relay for women: GDR ( Kirsten Siemon , Sabine Busch , Dagmar Rübsam , Marita Koch ) - 3: 19.05 min
  • High jump : Ulrike Nasse-Meyfarth ( Federal Republic of Germany ) - 2.02 m
• There was also a new European record:
  • 400 meter hurdles : Harald Schmid (Federal Republic of Germany) - 47.48 s
• Five athletes won two gold medals each at these championships:
  • Hartmut Weber (Federal Republic of Germany) - 400 meters, 4 × 400 m relay
  • Harald Schmid (BR Germany) - 400 meter hurdles, 4 × 400 m relay
  • Marlies Göhr (GDR) - 100 meters , 4 × 100 m relay
  • Bärbel Wöckel (GDR) - 200 meters , 4 × 100 m relay
  • Marita Koch (GDR) - 400 meters, 4 × 400 m relay
• Eight of the European champions from 1982 had already won European championships:
  • Marita Koch (GDR) - 400 meters, repetition of her success from 1978 , also second victory in a row with the 4 × 400 m relay of the GDR, so she was now four times European champion
  • Thomas Munkelt (GDR) - 110 meter hurdles, repetition of his success from 1978
  • Harald Schmid, BR Germany - 400 meter hurdles, repetition of his success from 1978
  • Udo Beyer (GDR) - Shot put , repetition of his success from 1978

The scoring was based on the points table from 1964.

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 there would have been no postponements at these European championships. These comparisons are only indicative, however, because the different standards of the time must apply as a basis. At the subsequent European Championships, the current rating was used.

9/10 September

The scoring was based on the point table valid from 1980 to 1984.

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 there would have been a shift at these European Championships: ranks eleven and twelve should have been swapped.

These comparisons are only indicative, however, because the different standards of the time must apply as a basis. At the subsequent European Championships, the current rating was used.
