The European Athletics Association has confirmed Estonia as the host of the under-23s and under-20s athletics European championships on consecutive weeks in July, pending approval from the government. Initially set to take place in Bergen, Norway, the under-23s athletics European championships were canceled due to coronavirus restrictions. We have signaled to the European Athletics Association that we are prepared to host the competition on 8-11 July in Tallinn. On Tuesday, the European association confirmed that it would happily see Tallinn as the host city, commented Estonian Athletics Association president Erich Teigamägi.
