Complete medal table

The 21st European Athletics Championships were held from June 27 to July 1, 2012 for the third time after 1971 and 1994 in the Finnish capital Helsinki . The five-day competitions (Wednesday to Sunday) took place in the Olympic Stadium, which hosted the 1952 Olympic Games . The first World Athletics Championships in 1983 and the tenth in 2005 were held in the stadium.

European championships in the year of Summer Olympics

For the first time in a year, the European Championships were held with the Summer Olympics. The European Championships were therefore scheduled for June and took place around five weeks before the Olympic Games. The main event for top athletes this year was of course the Olympic Games. With a few exceptions, the athletes based their season planning on this main focus. The European championships were not the focus of a season as in other years. As a result, the previous four-year cycle was changed to a two-year cycle, so that from 2012 onwards, every second European championship will coincide with the summer Olympic Games. In these years, the European Championships were and still are of great importance, especially for athletes in disciplines in which athletes from other continents dominate the scene, for example in the sprints and long distances. However, certain losses have to be accepted, which are not available in years without the Olympic Games. The street competitions in walking and running with long distances are completely eliminated, some top athletes do not take part in European championships, the overall level of performance is not quite as high as in years without the Olympic Games.

Attendees

1342 athletes (738 men and 604 women) from all 50 member states of the European Athletics Federation (EAA) were registered, including Germany , Liechtenstein , Austria , Switzerland and Luxembourg . Compared to the European Championships in 2010 , 28 fewer athletes competed. This reluctance was v. a. established in the Olympic Games that are imminent this year .

Some special features catch the eye:

• The 27 doping sinners were spread across nine nations. Seven athletes alone came from Russia, Turkey and Ukraine. In addition, a French, a Greek, a Moldovan, a Portuguese, a Spanish and a Hungarian were disqualified.
• One competition, the women's 1,500-meter race, was particularly hard hit. Here the first four and also the eighth as well as a runner eliminated in the preliminary run were disqualified, the next placed runners moved up accordingly in the placements.

Competitions

At the European Championships 2012 there were no decisions in marathon running or walking . Compared to the previous European championships, five fewer competitions took place. Here, too, the reason was the Olympic Games taking place a few weeks later, which would have prevented the top athletes from starting twice.

Athletic performance

In the medal ranking, two nations, Germany and France, each had six European Championship titles on their account. The German team had also collected seven silver and five bronze medals compared to three silver and five bronze medals in France. This time Germany was right at the front in the medal ranking. Russia , Ukraine and Great Britain each had four European champions in their ranks, with Russia ahead of Ukraine and Great Britain in terms of silver medals. It was followed by the Czech Republic , which had three winners. Poland and Bulgaria each had two gold medals in their accounts, Turkey also had a silver and a bronze medal. Bulgaria was just behind with a silver medal with no other precious metal.

For the individual athletes, the following services are particularly worth mentioning.

• One athlete won two gold medals at these championships:
  • Churandy Martina ( Netherlands ) - 100 meters and 4 × 100 m
• The following European champion of 2012 had previously EM won -Titel:
  • Christophe Lemaitre ( France ) - 100 meters, repetition of his 2010 success
  • Mo Farah ( UK ) - 5000 meters , repeating his 2010 success
  • Mahiedine Mekhissi (France) - 3000 obstacle , repeating his 2010 success
  • Renaud Lavillenie (France) - pole vault , repeating his 2010 success
  • Nuria Fernández ( Spain ) - 1500 meters , repetition of her 2010 success
  • Olha Saladucha ( Ukraine ) - triple jump , repeating her 2010 success
