European Athletics President’s Welcome Message

WearedelightedtobebackinItalyforthe22ndeditionoftheEuropean Athletics Junior Championships. The city of Rieti will follow on from Grosseto which hosted a memorable champion-shipsbackin2001.

Rieti is a town steeped in the sport and is an excellent choice for Europe’s new generation of emerging stars to showcase their talent. Stadio Raul Guidobaldi stages one of the world’s top athletics meetings every year in early September, and has also builtatraditionofhavingatrack,re-laidlastsummer,thatproducesfineperformances.Itis sure to witness many more during the four days of this year’s Championships.

The European Athletics Junior Championships is extremely important for the development of athletics in Europe. Throughout each of the previous 21 editions we have had the cream of European junior athletic talent battling for supremacy in their age group and this year is sure to be no different. Many have moved on from these championships to glittering success at the European Athletics Championships, World Championships and Olympic Games at senior level.

IfyoulookbackatthelistofgoldmedallistsinGrosetto12yearsago,youwillcomeacross names such as Yelena Isinbayeva, Mo Farah, Carolina Klüft, Krisztian Pars. These names need no introduction today. There were also plenty of latter day stars who did not heartheirnationalanthemplayedinGrosseto–Norway’sAndreasThorkildsenandRus-sia’sAnnaChicherovabothfinishedwithasilver,whileCroatia’sBlankaVlasicandBettyHeidler of Germany, who both went on to become world champions before the end of the decade, had modest sixth and ninth places in the high jump and hammer respective-ly. This just underlines how important a role these championships have played in shaping the career of some of the stars of the sports.

Rieti has excellent facilities for the athletes and I have no doubt that there will be a great atmosphere at the stadium in July.

European Athletics greatly appreciates the efforts of the Italian athletics federation (FIDAL), the City of Rieti and the local organising committee in the preparation for the Championships.

WearelookingforwardtoseeingyouinRietiinJulyforfourdaysofexcitingathleticscompetition.
