Public Transport Tickets for all ticket holders

Einleitung

Have you already secured your ticket for the European Championships Munich 2022? Then we have a pre-Christmas gift for you, and for all those who will still be purchasing tickets. Our Munich 2022 tickets can also be used for public transport to the event! The local organising committee has joined forces with Münchner Verkehrs- und Tarifverbund GmbH for the event. Yes, you read that right, your MVV ticket is included - so you can get to and from the competition stress-free and climate-friendly.

Wie und was

How?Hardtickets can be used as a ticket without any further thought. With eTickets it works a bit differently. As soon as you order your ticket, you will receive an e-mail from us with the purchase confirmation including your eTicket. Read this e-mail carefully, it contains all the information you need to redeem your MVV ticket. Attention: The eTicket alone is not valid as a ticket.&nbsp;What?Every purchased Munich 2022 ticket entitles the holder to travel to the event and back to their accommodation on the day of the event using public transport within the MVV tariff zone without additional cost. The entire route network can be used! Only free tickets are excluded.

Warum und wann

Why?&nbsp;Munich’s Olympiapark has been a role model for all sporting events in terms of sustainability in 1972 and is to this day. But the Local Organizing Committee wants more! Transport and mobility at the European Championships 2022 are to become climate neutral!Therefore, incentives are to be created for the increased use of public transport. All visitors will therefore receive an included MVV ticket with their ticket purchase for the European Championships.In addition, Munich has promoted cycling over the last 15 years with campaigns such as "Radlhauptstadt" (Cycling Capital) and the expansion of cycle lanes. In order to offer cyclists the greatest possible comfort at the venues, rental bikes and bike racks will be provided.&nbsp;When?From August 11 to 21, 2022, Europe's best athletes will compete for European Championship medals in nine sports. With the European Championships, Munich will welcome the biggest sporting event since the 1972 Summer Olympics, with athletics, beach volleyball, canoe racing, climbing, cycling, gymnastics, rowing, table tennis and triathlon all in the mix.The heart of the event is the Olympiapark, but the entire city will spruce up for a spectacular and incomparable experience. Competitions will also take place at the Rudi-Sedlmayer-Halle, Olympic Regatta Centre, Messe München as well as at Königsplatz.

We want to leave an inspiring and sustainable legacy for all visitors, the City of Munich and upcoming sporting events. With this vision in mind, six focus topics have been identified.

Our sustainability strategy for Munich 2022

Catiana

In 1972, a true masterpiece came to life. The architects of the Olympiapark created a multifunctional venue in the beating heart of Munich that is still considered the most sustainable Olympic venue in the world today. 50 years later, we are aware of our responsibility towards the environment, our society and the economy.Therefore, we want to leave an inspiring and sustainable legacy for all visitors, the City of Munich and upcoming sporting events. With this vision in mind, six focus topics have been identified.We have outlined our path to sustainability in a comprehensive pre-event report (as of November 2021).

Sustainability report

Re-use of sports venues and equipmentDuring the bidding phase sustainability had already been set as an important landmark for this event. From the start the original Olympic venues were to be the focus of Munich 2022. By primarily using existing training and competition venues we avoid building spaces that might not be used later.Temporary buildings will be rented, reused or upcycled (e.g. recycle plastic waste winners' podiums back into plastic bottles). Sports equipment, if not merely rented, will be sold or donated to schools, universities and sports clubs.

CO2-neutral transport and mobilityThe European Championships will welcome around one million visitors to Munich. Transport and mobility represent the largest share of the CO₂ footprint at the European Championships Munich 2022, at around 65 percent. But our goal is that transport and mobility at the European Championships 2022 should become climate neutral as well!Therefore, incentives are to be created to increase the use of public transport. The Local Organising Committee (LOC) has joined forces with MVV for the event. All visitors will therefore receive an included MVV ticket with their ticket purchase for the European Championships! An adapted MVV timetable and an increased frequency of buses and trains are planned in accordance with the event times. Furthermore, contact has already been made with mobility service providers to enable discounted offers throughout Germany.For more than 15 years, Munich has also been promoting cycling, for example through the "Radlhauptstadt (Cycling Capital)" campaign. In order to offer cyclists the greatest possible comfort at the venues, rental bicycles and bicycle racks are to be provided.

Waste and litteringThe waste management of the European Championships 2022 shall be environmentally friendly. We aim to achieve the highest possible recycling rate of the waste generated. The use of reusable tableware should also reduce the overall amount of waste. Furthermore, measures should be taken to keep littering at the event site as low as possible, such as water dispensers, accreditations made of ocean plastic and, among other things, the decision to forgo a printed programme brochure. Instead, we’ll rely on electronic documents and a modern event app.Inclusion and accessibilityIn order to make the event venues accessible and experienceable for as many guests as possible, we’ve incorporated a high proportion of wheelchair-accessible sports venues. In addition, people with disabilities and the National Disabled Sports Association will be involved in the organisational structure of the European Championships 2022 and thus an inclusion committee will be implemented.Tickets for people with disabilities are already available for purchase in the ticket shop, which offers free add-ons such as sign language interpreters or headsets with audio description. On site near these separate seats will be volunteers from the "inclusion" team, some of whom can sign.

Local added valueThe City of Munich is supposed to benefit from the staging of the European Championships in terms of the economy as a whole and to become more attractive in the long term. To achieve that we plan to make regional art, culture and the gastronomy scene part of Munich 2022. In addition, we are creating the concept of "The Roofs - Festival of Munich 22" with a long-term goal in mind, as it is the hope to implement it as an annual festival.Effects on competitive and sport in generalThrough the charisma of major sporting events, it should be possible to motivate people to exercise more and lead a healthier lifestyle in the long term, and to achieve a positive effect on mass and competitive sport. Hands-on sporting activities such as the 10 km race on the marathon course will activate the visitors to move their bodies. With our Future Class of 22, school children too will be inspired to move and exercise with attractive sports programmes.

The marathon results will&nbsp;count for&nbsp;both the individual and team rankings,&nbsp;where&nbsp;the three best times per nation and gender&nbsp;will be&nbsp;added together&nbsp;to&nbsp;reveal the final ranking.&nbsp;The athletes will start from Odeonsplatz&nbsp;towards the north&nbsp;to&nbsp;Siegestor&nbsp;and will first run a short introductory loop. The ten-kilometre loop then begins at Odeonsplatz&nbsp;as&nbsp;well but&nbsp;sends the athletes&nbsp;along other classic Munich sights. The course takes the continent's best marathon runners&nbsp;on a sightseeing tour past&nbsp;Marienplatz,&nbsp;Viktualienmarkt,&nbsp;Gärtnerplatz,&nbsp;Isartor, the Eisbach wave and the&nbsp;Friedensengel&nbsp;through the city centre to the English Garden, which needs to&nbsp;be&nbsp;completed four times. The finish line at Odeonsplatz will be an impressive sight for the top athletes, with thousands of spectators expected in the stands on the public holiday. Additional European Championship entertainment will be provided by several music groups along the route.&nbsp;

Munich's Lord Mayor&nbsp;Dieter Reiter:&nbsp;"The anticipation for the European Championships next summer is growing. The routes for the decisions in the marathon and&nbsp;race walking&nbsp;competitions have been chosen excellently with the route through the centre of Munich and are sure to generate enthusiasm among the spectators and athletes. The fact that the running circuit will be made available to all running enthusiasts afterwards is a great and once again underlines the sustainable concept of this major sporting event."&nbsp;&nbsp;European Athletics President, Dobromir Karamarinov: “The preparations for the European Championships Munich 2022 are now in full swing and the release today of the marathon and race walking courses for the European Athletics Championships are proof of this. The routes will take in many of Munich’s iconic sites including the Marienplatz, the Siegestor and the finish line at the Odeonsplatz. I am sure that Europe’s top athletes as well as athletics and sports fans alike are counting down the days to what will be a fantastic multi-sport European Championships.”

A premiere for race walking&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition to the marathon decisions, four medal decisions in walking will also take place in the city centre of Munich. On Tuesday, 16 August, the 35 kilometres are scheduled and on Saturdy, 20 August, the 20 kilometres will be decided. The race walkers will complete a <a href="https://assets.munich2022.com/default/0001/02/8fe8483cd269f7eee7dec29cedc70f74f96b356a.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">two-kilometre circuit</a> between Odeonsplatz and Professor Huber Platz. The 35-kilometre competition will celebrate its premiere at the European Championships. Until now, 50 kilometres have been part of the competition in its stead - just like at the Olympic Games. Next summer, Tokyo silver medallist Jonathan Hilbert (GER) will have the chance to win his first gold medal over this distance on home soil.

We recap the European BMX Freestyle Park Championships in Moscow.

Recap European BMX Freestyle Park Championships

Frenchman Anthony Jeanjean and Swiss rider Nikita Ducarroz both won gold at the European BMX Freestyle Park Championships in Moscow.The second edition of the European Championships took place at the Music Media Dome in the Russian capital from 12-14 November. Three months after the Olympic premiere in Tokyo, the European Championships are the last highlight of 2021. 40 athletes from 13 countries qualified for the Championships.

Two German women were at the start, besides Kim Lea Müller, <a href="https://www.munich2022.com/en/class-of-22" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Class of 22 athlete Lara Lessmann</a> also competed in Moscow. Lessmann finished 6th at the Olympic Games, with only two other European athletes ahead of her. On the Olympic podium were both Nikita Ducarroz, who secured bronze, and Charlotte Worthington who meanwhile crowned herself the discipline's first Olympic Champion. But the Briton was not at the start in Moscow.In the qualification Ducarroz landed safely in the final with 82.49 points and a solid lead of ten points over the next placed. Lessmann was able to offer 71.33 points in the preliminary round and was thus in second place for the time being, followed by Spain's Teresa Fernandez-Miranda Azcogada (66.33 points). In the final the three athletes added a lot of skills and thus points, but this did not change the order after the qualification. With that the Swiss won gold with an incredible score of 93 points. Lessmann repeated her silver medal from 2019 with 84.33 points. Bronze went to the Spaniard with 81 points. The second German Müller dropped from 4th place in the qualification to 5th place despite a clear increase in points.

The men's event was a close neck-and-neck race. The qualification ended with three 84-point scores at the top: 84.83 points for Croatian Marin Ranteš, 84.66 points for Russian Irek Rizaev and 84.33 points for Frenchman Anthony Jeanjean.

Unlike in the women's event, the athlete line-up of the qualification was completely shuffled in the final. Ranteš was not able to repeat his success from the qualification round and ended his competition as only eleventh out of twelve finalists. Defending champion Jeanjean put in an amazing performance and achieved a score of 93 points. He thus moved ahead of Rizaev to take gold, as he did in 2019, after having to settle for 7th place in Tokyo. Still sixth in Japan and thus ahead of Jeanjean, the Russian remained in second place as he had done in the qualification. In the end, Rizaev scored 88.33 points. His fellow countryman Konstantin Andreev improved from 6th place in the preliminary round into the medal ranks and took bronze with 88.16 points.Of the three German men, Michael Meisel and Jonas Lindermair were eliminated after the preliminary round. Timo Schulze was happy about his improvement from 8th to 6th place in the final. Declan Brooks (GBR), the best European at the Olympic Games in Tokyo, did not compete.

The championships organised by the <a href="https://www.munich2022.com/en/cycling" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">UEC </a>are the last continental showdown of the BMX Freestyle Park athletes before the European Championships Munich 2022, where the competitions in the park will be held from 11-13 August 2022.

Europe's broadcasters met on 8 November to discuss the media coverage at Munich 2022.

World Broadcaster Meeting a great success

The European Championships Munich 2022 are getting closer and closer! To ensure that the nine European Championships taking place in Munich can also be watched and experienced from afar, Europe's television broadcasters came together on 8 November for the World Broadcaster Meeting in Munich. Here, the drafts of the implementation of the European Championships Munich 2022 were presented.

The Local Organising Committee for Munich 2022 (LOC) presented its plans and the current status of its work for the host broadcast. More than 400 hours of live production of the nine participating sports at the 12 venues are planned. That's right, 400 hours of live sport, medal ceremonies and festival footage over the course of eleven days!

The host broadcast, implemented independently by the LOC, will not only provide state-of-the-art coverage for linear television, but will also provide non-stop interaction on digital and social platforms. Sustainability is one of the top priorities and this is what the LOC lives by. Empty sports halls after major events? Not in Munich! The Bavarian capital created an unparalleled, sustainable event back in 1972, and Munich 2022 is sticking to this tradition. For the 50th anniversary of the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, a majority of the existing facilities and sports venues will be integrated into the multi-sport event. The Olympiapark will thus form the centre of the championships. The festival The Roofs will also take place here at the same time.

80 European broadcasters presentThe European Broadcasting Union (EBU), the umbrella organisation of free-to-air broadcasters in Europe, is the official broadcasting partner of the European Championships in Munich 2022. The event is to be made available to all sports enthusiasts within Europe. Representatives of about 80 European broadcasters were present. Among them: BBC (Great Britain), NRK (Norway), France Télévisions, NOS (Netherlands), SRG SSR (Switzerland), YLE (Finland), ARD and ZDF (Germany), SVT (Sweden), TVP (Poland), RAI (Italy), RTE (Ireland), RTVS Slovakia, VRT and RTBF (Belgium), TVE (Spain), Czech Television, HRT (Croatia), TRT (Turkey), DKDR (Denmark), RTP (Portugal), MTVA (Hungary) and RTV Slovenija (Slovenia). The LOC is in especially close contact with the public broadcasters from Germany.The first edition of the European Championships in Glasgow and Berlin took place from 2 to 12 August 2018. The event provided a unique platform to highlight the Champions of Europe and offers athletes and spectators a recurring multi-sport event. A television audience of 1.4 billion people watched this inaugural edition on free-to-air channels in 44 territories across Europe and worldwide. Websites recorded 1.9 billion visits and social media reach was 945 million. The ambitious goal of Munich 2022 is to surpass these figures and put on an unforgettable event.

The Future Class of 22 project aims to leave a lasting legacy for the sporting landscape, with the support of schools and sport clubs.

Future Class of 22

<h1 class="ql-align-justify">European Championships Munich 2022 show the stars of tomorrow the ropes</h1>The organisers of the European Championships Munich 2022 are working hard to built a legacy that will live on beyond August 2022. The three-pillared Future Class of 22 project aims to leave a lasting impact on the sporting landscape by inspiring young people to get involved in sport. The most important partners in the persuit of this goal are local schools and clubs. As members of the interactive Future Class of 22 community, teens and young adults in Germany will have the opportunity to become an active part of the European Championships Munich 2022. The Class of 22 is leading the way: Our docuseries shows 14 German athletes making great strides towards their goal of participating in the European Championships Munich 2022. The upcoming major event in front of a home crowd is very popular with the host nation's top athletes. But young athletes also play a central role for the organisers, too. As part of the Future Class of 22, teens and young adults can follow in the footsteps of their great role models and get a taste of the European Championships themselves. The three-part programme aims to bring children and young people closer to the joy of movement and the values of sport in times of the pandemic, as well as to spark an active interest in the European Championships Munich 2022.

Promoting young talent through school sports competitionsServe on the same sand as Clemens Wickler or play table tennis in the Rudi-Sedlmayer-Halle like Sabine Winter - the Future Class of 22 project focuses on young talent. In beach volleyball, table tennis and gymnastics, school sports competitions with a European Championship flair are planned in Munich and throughout Bavaria in cooperation with the respective state associations. School teams will compete against each other and represent Germany in their own way. The highlight will be the finals, as they will be held during the European Championships Munich 2022 and on the actual fields of play! In beach volleyball, the participants will compete for the title on the centre court at Königsplatz and the winners in table tennis will be determined in the Rudi-Sedlmayer-Halle. The winners in gymnastics will be crowned in the Olympiahalle. In the competitions, the pupils compete with their peers and can feel like real professional athletes they might become one day. Our cooperations with the "Run yourself fit!" initiative of the Bavarian Athletics Association and the "Move yourself smart!" project of the Felix Neureuther Foundation and the Bavarian State Sports Association round off the school sports competitions. The competitions' finals will further take place within the framework of Munich 2022 and guarantee goosebumps for the 200 or so finalists.

Local activation in grassroots sport through the Future Class of 22 CommunityIn addition to sporting school competitions, the Future Class of 22 Community was launched in November. The online community is aimed at young people aged 14 to 20 and takes place in cooperation with respective state associations. The Future Class of 22 Community promotes the involvement of young people in the context of the European Championships Munich 2022 and beyond with online workshops, digital meet &amp; greets of the Class of 22 athletes and more. Edutainment through sports action dayThe third pillar deals with didactics and transmission. New, creative approaches are implemented to further training for teachers. In order to awaken or strengthen young people's enthusiasm for sports, a sports action day is held for local schools and clubs. "With Count &amp; Last, we have launched an initiative to focus on sustainability at the European Championships Munich 2022. Two central components are climate neutrality in many areas of the multi-sport event and the use of existing infrastructure," says Marion Schöne, organiser and managing director of Olympiapark München GmbH, and continues: "But the area of social sustainability is also of great importance to us. With the Future Class of 22 project, we want to inspire children and young adults to take part in active sports and also give them the opportunity to contribute their creativity to the European Championships Munich 2022."

In the Cross-Country Elite events, France’s Pauline Ferrand-Prévot retained her European crown, while Swiss Lars Forster won the title among the men.

Ferrand-Prévot and Forster crowned #EUROMTB21 champions

For the first time, the UEC MTB European Championships took place in Serbia, with the majestic Petrovaradin fortress in Novi Sad serving as the backdrop for four action-packed days. In the Cross-Country Elite events, France’s Pauline Ferrand-Prévot retained her European crown, while Swiss Lars Forster won the title among the men.

Women's podium

Women 1

Reigning European and world champion Ferrand-Prévot demonstrated her prowess, attacking and dominating the race to win gold ahead of Dutch duo Anne Terpstra and Anne Tauber, who completed the podium.Coming off a rather disappointing performance at the Olympic Games, the 29-year-old Frenchwoman was all smiles after her triumph and will tackle the upcoming UCI Mountain Bike World Championships with a confidence boost.

Women 2 (quote)

“It was a great day for me. I wanted this title more than anything. Today, I just wanted to give my best, give everything I had. The race was quite tactical at the beginning. I was feeling good, so I decided to attack, went at the front and after, tried to keep the speed. It worked and I am extremely happy with that,” she stated in her UEC post-race interview. “I think this is one of my best wins and for sure, I want to defend my world champ jersey, but I already have the European one, so it’s already a good season for me."

Lars Forster

<h2>Forster finishes first in fierce fight&nbsp;</h2>Having won the Cross-Country title at the European Championships 2018 in Glasgow, Forster is back on the throne after edging the competition in a tightly contested race. The 28-year-old launched a decisive attack close to the finish to celebrate 3’’ ahead of Dane Sebastian Fini Carstensen, with Swiss Filippo Colombo finishing third. &nbsp;&nbsp;“It was an amazing race. I felt very good already two weeks ago; I had the European Championships as a goal in my mind because I couldn’t go to the Olympics, so I took the next chance and I’m very happy I made it to the top,” Forster said after the race.“The course was a little bit of a cyclo-cross race with the downhill on the stairs. I’m a cyclo-cross racer as well so I liked the course. I knew I could ride fast on this track. We saw at the Under 23 race that a big group was coming together, so I was focusing on staying in the front, saving energy and then at the end, finishing with a bang.”

Déjà-vu in Vienna

It was a familiar picture as the curtain fell on the A1 CEV EuroBeachVolley Vienna 2021: Anders Mol and Christian Sørum of Norway were standing atop the podium, crowned European champions for a fourth consecutive time. Swiss pair Nina Betschart and Tanja Hüberli claimed gold in the women’s event.

Coming off their <a href="https://www.munich2022.com/en/european-eye-on-tokyo-beach-volleyball" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">golden Olympic campaign</a>, Mol and Sørum carried their fantastic form over to Vienna and added another historic achievement to their already impressive résumé. A 26-match winning streak and a fourth straight EuroBeachVolley title are unprecedented. However, the Vikings had to work hard, with Dutch duo Stefan Boermans and Yorick de Groot putting up a fight in the gold medal match. The Norwegians’ experience prevailed, as they edged their opponents 2-1 (21-19, 24-26, 15-12).“The Dutch played amazing, it was a perfect final, we had to work really hard to find a way to beat them. We had one goal before this tournament and it was to win this title, but to win four in a row, it’s hard to believe,” Sørum told CEV in the post-match interview.

Mol echoed his teammate’s words: “It will take us some time to sink in what we accomplished over these last weeks, it’s hard to believe we just won the Olympic gold and now a fourth EuroBeachVolley title. This was one of the best matches we played in the last few years. The Dutch played really well, and we’d like to congratulate them too. Playing here in Vienna is always special and I’m so happy we’re still unbeaten here. We hate losing any match, but even more in front of these fans.”Poland’s Piotr Kantor and Bartosz Łosiak took home the bronze medal after defeating Dutchmen Alexander Brouwer and Robert Meeuwsen in straight sets, 2-0 (21-4, 21-19).

Women Gold

<h2>Back-to-back for Switzerland</h2>Nina Betschart and Tanja Hüberli succeeded their compatriots Joana Heidrich and Anouk Vergé-Dépré on the EuroBeachVolley throne, making Switzerland only the second country to win back-to-back women’s titles with different teams. In Saturday’s final, the Swiss prevailed over Dutch up-and-comers Raïsa Schoon and Katja Stam 2-0 (21-15, 21-12).It is the first continental title for Betschart and Hüberli, who had previously reached the final in 2018, ultimately taking silver. The triumph tasted even sweeter following a subpar performance in Tokyo. "We're thrilled to be European champions. The win by itself is something great, but to do it here, in Vienna, with this fantastic atmosphere, it's just so special. We didn't do well in the Olympics and wanted to put it behind us and there was no better way to do it,” 28-year-old Hüberli confirmed. “Our entire team really wanted to win this tournament and we need to thank them for believing in us and working so hard over the last five years. I'm so glad our dream came true."

Highlights Women's Final

Women Bronze

In the bronze medal match, German veterans Karla Borger and Julia Sude edged out Latvians Anastasija Kravčenoka and Tīna Graudiņa in three sets, 2-1 (14-21, 17-21, 8-15). Whilst both Borger and Sude had previously won bronze medals with different partners, it is their first EuroBeachVolley medal as a team.&nbsp;The relief and joy were palpable, as Borger put her team’s feelings into words: “We are very proud of ourselves. After the Olympics, we discussed whether we should play here at all, but we proved that we are good players. Everything is possible if you just believe. Playing in front of so many spectators after such a long time is something we missed. That's what beach volleyball is all about.”
