Europe’s best athletes are already setting high standards in their quest to win gold at European Championships Munich 2022.

 Europe’s Elite primed for Munich 2022

Published on 31 January 2022Europe’s best athletes are already setting high standards in their quest to win gold at European Championships Munich 2022.Reigning Olympic and European pole vault champion Armand Duplantis dominated on his season debut in Karlsruhe on Friday. In a supreme performance, the Swede easily cleared 5.51m, 5.71m and 5.89m, before soaring to a world lead of 6.02m, smashing Frenchman Renaud Lavillenie’s meeting record of 5.95m.Duplantis entertained the crowd by attempting to beat his own indoor world record and trying to clear 6.19m. He fell agonisingly short, but after his successful start to the year, the talented Swede could not hide his excitement about the season ahead.&nbsp;"Tonight, was really special, especially because we really haven't had spectators in a few years. That fan interaction is a whole different experience. I've been doing this for a long time. It is a new season, but I just think I am so in tune with my jumping that I have a lot of confidence, whether it is the first or the last meet of the year," said Duplantis, who manged to clear six metres or higher in 12 competitions last year.

Duplantis returns to the action at the ISTAF Indoor this Friday in Berlin, the city where Duplantis achieved the first of his 26 competitions at 6m or higher with an unforgettable gold medal at the inaugural European Championships in Glasgow and Berlin in 2018 - a title which the Swedish star looks forward to defending later this summer in Munich."What makes more sense than to win a second European title in the same country where I won my first one?" he said excitedly.

Duplantis delivers in Berlin!

France’s world and European indoor 60m hurdles medallist Pascal Martinot-Lagarde also began his season in scintillating fashion.

Returning from an unfortunate run of injuries, Martinot-Lagarde immediately matched the world lead with 7.56s in his heat, before serenely claiming sole ownership of that mark with a 7.54s clocking to edge Spain’s Enrique Llopis (7.59s) and Poland’s Jakub Szymanski (7.60s)."I am super happy with today's race. I try to do my best every time in every championship, and there are three of them this year," said a jubilant Martinot-Lagarde, who defends his outdoor title at <a href="http://www.munich2022.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Munich 2022</a> in August.In the long jump, Sweden’s Thobias Montler was the only athlete to surpass the eight metre-line with 8.02m. He finished just ahead of 18-year-old world U20 champion Erwan Konate from France whose best mark of 7.98m bettered the long-standing European indoor U20 record of 7.89m which was held by the legendary Robert Emmiyan.Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.munich2022.com/en/class-of-22" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Class of 22</a> star Christina Hering is also coming good ahead of Munich 2022. Hering followed up her second-placed finish on season debut in the 800m in Karlsruhe on Friday with another impressive start in the 400m in Munich on Sunday, winning the Bavarian title in a new personal best of 53.86 seconds.

Europe’s best athletes are already setting high standards as they prime themselves for winning gold at European Championships Munich 2022.

Femke Bol focused on European Championships Munich 2022

Published on 3 January 2022European 400m record holder Femke Bol has her sights firmly set on success at the European Championships Munich 2022 this summer.Bol, a 400 metres and 400 metres hurdles specialist, outlined her plans for 2022 in an interview with <a href="https://nos.nl/artikel/2411519-supertalent-bol-ziet-verbeterpunten-na-olympisch-succes-en-deelt-geheim-van-de-smid" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dutch broadcaster NOS</a>, confirming that the much-awaited Munich 2022 event is part of her busy schedule this coming summer.The talented 21-year-old burst onto the scene with an Olympic Games bronze medal winning performance last summer, smashing the European record in a thrilling 400m hurdles final, when she became the third-fastest woman ever in the event with a blistering time of 52.03 seconds.&nbsp;

Bol burst onto the scene with her Olympic Games bronze medal winning performance last summer, breaking the European record in a thrilling 400m hurdles final, becoming the third-fastest woman ever in the event with a blistering time of 52.03 seconds.&nbsp;

Bol will strive to better her European record at Munich 2022. Small improvements can make a big difference according to Bol. "If you improve your technique by one hundredth, then after ten hurdles you have gained one tenth. For me, that would mean running 51 seconds."Bol has a busy schedule this year with the World Championships in July also on the horizon. “At the European Championships Munich 2022 I hope to have held that peak and put in another good performance,” she added.

 Femke Bol of Netherlands competes during the 400M Hurdles Women's Final during the Athletissima Lausanne 2021 at Stade Olympique Pontaise on August 26, 2021 in Lausanne, Switzerland.

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.

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

Published on 18 November 2021In 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 facilities (e.g. the BMX park or the track for track cycling) will mostly be rented. 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 for accredited areas 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 accessible and experienceable for as many guests as possible, we aim to make our venues and our programme as inclusive and barrier-free as possible. 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 graphic provides an overview of the six focus areas of the Munich 2022 Sustainability Strategy

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.

The schedule and the routes for the European Championships in marathon and race walking have been fixed. As usual, the classic road events will be held outside the athletics stadium.

Munich 2022 announces marathon and race walking routes

Published on 17 November 2021The schedule and the routes for the European Championships in marathon and race walking have been fixed. As usual, the classic road events will be held outside the athletics stadium. The city centre of Munich will offer the athletes the largest possible stage and underlines the aim of the organisers to&nbsp;offer&nbsp;easily accessible European Championships for&nbsp;all of&nbsp;Munich..&nbsp;The European Championships will ensure a sporting festival of superlatives&nbsp;in Munich. From 11 to 21 August 2022&nbsp;nine European Championships in the sports of beach volleyball, canoe racing, climbing, athletics, cycling, rowing, table tennis, triathlon and gymnastics&nbsp;will all take place in the host city. 176 medal decisions and around 4,700 athletes will make the event the biggest multi-sport event in 50 years.&nbsp;

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.

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.”

We recap the European BMX Freestyle Park Championships in Moscow.

Recap European BMX Freestyle Park Championships

Published on 15 November 2021Frenchman 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

Published on 11 November 2021The 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.

Beim World Broadcaster Meeting wurden vom LOC mit bunten Lichtern nochmals die neun Sportarten exemplarisch vorgestellt.
