Complete medal table

The 22nd European Athletics Championships were held in Zurich from August 12th to 17th, 2014 . This was the second time, after 1954 in Bern, that the European Athletics Championships were held in Switzerland . The six-day competitions were held in the Letzigrund stadium , where the World Class Zurich athletics meeting has been held every year since 1928 . The walking and marathon competitions were held in downtown Zurich.

Participants and contributors

Around 1,400 athletes from all 50 member associations of the European Athletics Federation (EAA) took part in Zurich, including from Germany , Liechtenstein , Austria , Switzerland and Luxembourg . This roughly corresponds to the number of participants at the previous 2012 event in Helsinki . The athletes were accompanied by around 800 supervisors.

Around the competitions, 2100 volunteers, so-called volunteers , were on duty. Around 2000 media representatives reported from Zurich.

The non-nomination of long jumper Markus Rehm , who started with a prosthetic leg, in the 93-strong squad of the DLV attracted particular media interest . He had won the German championship four days earlier. His participation in competitions with athletes without disabilities was and is controversial. The background to this is the still unanswered question of the extent to which Rehm has an advantage over other athletes due to the spring action of his prosthesis and in what form this possible advantage is compensated for by being disadvantaged when starting up.

Competitions

47 medal decisions were planned for six days and a total of ten competition sessions. The decisions in marathon running and walking , which had not been taken at the European Championships in 2012 due to the proximity to the Olympic Games , have been included in the program again. Compared to the previous European championships, five more competitions were held. The 50 km walk was the only discipline that was only in the program for men.

The mascot Cooly , already used at the 2009 Ice Hockey World Championships, was used again at the European Athletics Championships in Zurich.

Athletic performance

This year the European Championships were the highlight of the year for the majority of the athletes.

Russia and the Netherlands each had three European champions in their ranks, with Russia collecting a total of 21 medals, significantly more precious metal than the Netherlands, who received a total of six medals. With Poland , Ukraine , Spain , Italy and Belarus , there were another five nations with two European champions each. Poland was ahead of Ukraine with a total of twelve medals - eight total medals, Spain - six total medals, Italy - three total medals - and Belarus - two total medals.
