History

The discussion on the European Championships started before 1930, when a Hungarian member of IAAF, dr. Stankovic, submitted his idea to the International Federation. During the the Congress of IAAF in Berlin, on September 24, 1933 the Federation approved his proposals and Italy undertook the first championships.

The first European Championships were staged at Communale Stadium, Turin in 1934 including only men's events. Women's championships were held separately in 1938, but men's and women's events were combined at one venue from 1946. The championships are held at four-yearly intervals, althought there was a break in that pattern when they were held in 1969 and 1971.
