The European Athletics U20 Championships is a biennial outdoor athletics competition for European athletes.
It is one of European Athletics' oldest competitions, first held in 1970 after three editions of the unofficial European Junior Games which started in 1964.
Usually held in the second half of July since 1993, it attracts more than 1000 competitors to the the&nbsp; four-day&nbsp; event. The most recent edition was held in Tallinn, Estonia in 2021 and the next European Athletics U20 Championships will be in Cluj-Napoca, Romania in the summer of 2023.

Some of the outstanding athletes at last year&rsquo;s European Athletics U20 Championships in Tallinn last July were in excellent early season form in meetings across the United States this weekend.
In San Diego on Saturday (26), reigning world and European U20 discus champion Mykolas Alekna smashed his lifetime best by more than three metres in one of his first competitions with the senior two kilogram implement.
Still only 19, Alekna took advantage of the conducive wind conditions in San Diego to throw 66.70m to move to fourth on the Lithuanian all-time list behind a trio of global champions: 1992 Olympic champion Romas Ubartas (68.18m), 2017 world champion Andrius Gudzius (69.59m) and Mykolas&rsquo; father Virgilijus (73.88m), a two-time Olympic and world champion.

Virgilijus&rsquo; two sons look set to continue the Alekna family dynasty and their country&rsquo;s excellent all-round tradition in the event. Mykolas&rsquo; older brother Martynas, 21, also won the U23 event at the European Throwing Cup in Leiria, Portugal earlier this month.
At the Texas Relays in Austin, European U20 100m champion Toby Makoyawo clocked a lifetime best of 10.12 in the 100m heats before sailing to a wind-aided 9.90 (+4.6) in the final while fellow European U20 100m champion Rhasidat Adeleke demonstrated her awesome versatility with a 50.5 lead-off leg in the 4x400m for the University of Texas which set a world lead of 3:22.94.

Adeleke also ran the third leg of their victorious 4x100m team who combined to set another world leading time of 42.83.
Former European U20 long jump silver medallist Jacob Fincham-Dukes jumped a massive albeit wind-aided 8.45m in the long jump - also a wind-legal 8.06m - and Norway&rsquo;s Sondre Guttormsen cleared an early season world lead of 5.75m in the pole vault only six days after finishing eighth at the World Athletics Indoor Championships.
Reigning European champion Katerina Stefanidi from Greece finished third in the pole vault with 4.65m off an abbreviated 14-step approach. Sweden&rsquo;s Lisa Gunnarsson was fourth on countback, her 4.65m clearance also equating to a lifetime best.

Reigning European U20 champions excel in the United States

Nine athletes followed up their victories at the Tallinn 2021 European Athletics U20 Championships with victories on the global stage at the World Athletics U20 Championships in Nairobi which concluded on Sunday (22).
In doing so, these nine athletes have the unique distinction of scooping both titles in the same season. This oddity comes from the fact the World Athletics U20 Championships had to be postponed from 2020 to 2021 due to the pandemic.
But the later staging of the championships surely played to the advantage of France&rsquo;s 19-year-old Sasha Zhoya who was one of the outstanding athletes at the championships. After running under the world U20 record albeit with an illegal tailwind in Tallinn, Zhoya demolished the record he had threatened to surpass all season in Nairobi.
[TWITTER ID="http://twitter.com/WorldAthletics/status/1429108511091351555"]
The multi-talented Frenchman initially revised the mark from 12.99 to 12.93 in the semifinals despite clipping some of the barriers which were raised 99 centimetres above the ground but Zhoya put together a seamless race in the final and was rewarded with his second gold medal of the season in 12.72, taking a 0.21 off his previous mark.
While the barriers are lower for the U20s than for the seniors, Zhoya&rsquo;s time was the fastest ever recorded in the 110m hurdles across all age-groups.&nbsp;
There was very nearly a world U20 record in the men&rsquo;s discus as Mykolas Alekna from Lithuania added the world U20 title to his European U20 title in style.
Alekna just fell short of the world U20 record of 70.13m with the 1.75kg U20 discus but his winning mark of 69.81m was a championship record and the second longest throw in history with the U20 discus.&nbsp;
Sweden&rsquo;s Maja Askag overcame strong opposition to scoop both the long jump and triple jump titles at the European Athletics U20 Championships in Tallinn and she completed the same double on the global stage in Nairobi, becoming just the second athlete to win both titles at the same edition.
[TWITTER ID="http://twitter.com/WorldAthletics/status/1429490164347375623"]
Her teammate Gabriel Wallmark also followed up his European U20 title with the world U20 title in the men&rsquo;s triple jump. After breaking Christian Olsson&rsquo;s Swedish U20 record in Tallinn with 16.39m, Wallmark extended his record to 16.43m for gold in Nairobi.
After an excellent campaign in Tallinn, the Finns enjoyed an even better championship in Nairobi with four gold medals to finish second on the medal table behind hosts Kenya. Saga Vanninen, who is still eligible for U20 competitions next year, led from start to finish to win her second major heptathlon title of the year while world U20 record-holder Silja Kosonen set a championship record of 71.64m to win the hammer title.
Jonathan Kapitolnik has achieved two notable firsts for Israel this season. After becoming the first Israeli to win a European U20 title in Tallinn last month, Kapitolnik achieved this same accolade at the World U20 Championships. The 18-year-old cleared a lifetime best of 2.26m to win gold by a whopping nine centimetres, the largest winning margin in championship history.
Competing as an authorised neutral athlete, Russia&rsquo;s Violetta Ignatyeva also won the women&rsquo;s discus title at both championships while European U20 400m hurdles champion Berke Akcam from Turkey was promoted from silver to gold in Nairobi after initial victory Oskar Edlund was disqualified for a trail leg infringement.

Nine European U20 champions from Tallinn repeat in Nairobi

Lithuania&rsquo;s Mykolas Alekna won his second major title of the season in the discus on the last day of competition at the World Athletics U20 Championships in Nairobi, Kenya on Sunday (22) and he approached the world U20 record in the process.
Alekna won the European U20 title in Tallinn last month with 68.00m but in the rarefied conditions in Nairobi, the 18-year-old improved to an unassailable 69.81m with his first throw of the final.
This mark was not only a championship record but it also represented the second longest throw in history with the U20 1.75kg implement, bettered only by Ukraine&rsquo;s Mykyta Nesterenko whose world U20 record of 70.13m has stood since 2008.
After a prodigious opener, Alekna couldn&rsquo;t improve on that first round throw but he amassed a gleaming series. Four of his five valid throws - 69.81m, 68.52m, 67.67m, 67.10m - would have sufficed for the title ahead of Jamaica&rsquo;s Ralford Mullings&rsquo; who set a lifetime best of 66.68m to win silver.
While Alekna won his second major title of the season, Sweden&rsquo;s Maja Askag brought her tally up to four gold medals after repeating the horizontal jump double which she achieved last month at the European U20 Championships in Tallinn.
After winning the long jump title in Tallinn with a wind-aided 6.80m, Askag won this title in Nairobi with a wind-legal lifetime best of 6.60m to win by one centimetre from India&rsquo;s Shaili Singh.&nbsp;
Askag, who also jumped 13.75m to win the triple jump final on Friday, became only the second athlete in championship history to win both titles after Russia&rsquo;s Yelena Lysak all the way back in 1994.&nbsp;
[TWITTER ID="http://twitter.com/WorldAthletics/status/1429490164347375623"]
Her teammate Gabriel Wallmark also won the men&rsquo;s triple jump final with a national U20 record of 16.43m and there was initially another gold medal for Sweden in the 400m hurdles before Oskar Edlund incurred the wrath of the judges for a trail leg infringement.
With Edlund disqualified, the title was passed from Sweden to Turkey with Berke Akcam adding the world U20 title to his European U20 title in a lifetime best of 49.38 ahead of neutral athlete Denis Novoseltsev in 49.62.
There was also a fourth gold medal of the championships for Finland as Heidi Salminen won the women&rsquo;s 400m hurdles in a lifetime best of 56.94 ahead of France&rsquo;s Ludivine Aubert in 57.16.&nbsp;
With four titles across the five days, Finland were the leading European nation in Nairobi and their quartet of titles takes their overall tally of gold medals from the World U20 Championships up from eight to 12.
Elsewhere on the last day of the championships, neutral athlete Natalya Spiridinova cleared a lifetime best of 1.91m to win the high jump title and the Polish 4x100m quartet further improved their European U20 record to 38.90 to win bronze in a race won by South Africa in a world U20 record of 38.51.
This marked a significant improvement in fortunes for a near-identical Polish quartet who missed out on the medals in fourth at the European Athletics U20 Championships in Tallinn last month.

Alekna threatens world U20 discus record with 69.81m in Nairobi

France&rsquo;s Sasha Zhoya obliterated his world U20 record in the 110m hurdles final with a 12.73 clocking on the penultimate day of the World Athletics U20 Championships in Nairobi, Kenya on Saturday (21).
Zhoya had already eclipsed the previous mark of 12.99 in the semifinals with a 12.93 clocking but an even faster time clearly beckoned as Zhoya uncharacteristically clipped a handful of hurdles en route to the world U20 record.
&ldquo;I made a lot of errors in this race. Technically it was not good,&rdquo; was Zhoya&rsquo;s assessment of his performance in the semifinal.
Zhoya didn&rsquo;t make any such mistakes in the final though. The European U20 champion seamlessly glided over all ten barriers - his rhythm barely impeded by the challenge of the 99.0cm hurdles - and was rewarded with victory and a scintillating time of 12.73 to demolish his world U20 record by 0.21.
&ldquo;I am very happy, the job is done. Since last year, when I started the 110m hurdles, that's the goal I set for myself. For the past two years, I always had small or large injuries that I had to wrestle with,&rdquo; said Zhoya, who will graduate to the senior hurdles next year with a view to represent France in the major events in 2022.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s the quickest time on any hurdle height and that makes me really happy. Now all I need to do is to replicate my junior performance to the senior category as I now focus into transiting into the seniors. Now I am ready to tackle all the senior competitions slotted for 2022 including the World Championships in Oregon.&rdquo;
[TWITTER ID="http://twitter.com/WorldAthletics/status/1429108511091351555"]
Zhoya won by more than half-a-second from Jamaica&rsquo;s Vashaun Vascianna who was on course for a sub-13 second clocking before clattering the sixth and seventh hurdles. Vascianna still came away with a silver medal and a lifetime best of 13.25 with Poland&rsquo;s Jakub Szymanski taking the bronze in 13.43.
This was France&rsquo;s second gold medal of the championships after Erwan Konate opened the haul with victory in the long jump on Friday with a world U20 leading mark of 8.12m to improve on his bronze medal from the European Athletics U20 Championships in Tallinn.
But the Finns are enjoying a tangible resurgence in prospects and they are currently second on the medal table with three gold medals behind Kenya with five.
Following on from Saga Vanninen&rsquo;s victory in the heptathlon, Janne Laspa defeated European U20 champion Artur Felfner from Ukraine for the javelin title - 76.46m to 76.32m - before world U20 record-holder and Tokyo Olympian Silja Kosonen dominated the hammer final this afternoon, winning with a championship record of 71.64m.&nbsp;
"It has just been the perfect season," said Kosonen. "I&rsquo;m going to remember this day forever."
Like Vanninen, this was Kosonen&rsquo;s second major title of the season after winning at the European U20 Championships in Tallinn last month.
By contrast, Czech Republic's Frantisek Doubek was disqualified from the 400m in the decathlon in Tallinn which put paid to any prospect of a medal but the 19-year-old channeled that frustration into a gold medal-winning performance in Nairobi.&nbsp;
Doubek amassed a brilliant second day to overhaul the overnight leader and European U20 champion Jente Hauttekeete from Belgium to win the title with a world U20 leading score and Czech U20 record of 8169 points to Hauttekeete's 8053 points.
The European U20 record also fell in the men's 4x100m heats as the Polish team stopped the clock at 38.93. They smashed the previous record of 39.13 set by Germany at the 2016 World U20 Championships to qualify fastest for the final.

Zhoya obliterates world U20 110m hurdles record with 12.72 in Nairobi

Finland&rsquo;s Saga Vanninen added the world U20 heptathlon title to her European U20 title on the second day of the World Athletics U20 Championships in Nairobi, Kenya on Thursday (19).
Vanninen led from the very first event - a 13.60 clocking in the 100m hurdles - and the 18-year-old never looked in danger of ceding her lead. She was the best performer in four of the seven events and won her second major gold medal in just over a month with a score of 5997 points.
This score might have been some way down on her impressive world U20 leading mark of 6271 points from the European U20 Championships in Tallinn but Vanninen&rsquo;s tally was still the third best mark by any U20 athlete in the world this season.
Vanninen led a European clean sweep of the medals in the Kenyan capital. After missing out on the medals on home soil in Tallinn, Estonia&rsquo;s Pippa Lotta Enok came away with a silver medal with 5746 points with Hungary&rsquo;s Szabina Szucs taking the bronze medal with 5674 points.
Second overnight, Austria&rsquo;s Sophie Kreiner dropped back to fifth with 5652 points.&nbsp;
In a reversal of the finishing order at the European U20 Championships in Tallinn, Serbia&rsquo;s Adriana Vilagos defeated Greece&rsquo;s Elina Tzengko in the women&rsquo;s javelin final which was interrupted by torrential rain.
One of the youngest competitors in the final, the 17-year-old Vilagos won the competition with her first round throw of 61.46m before the conditions halted proceedings.
<img src="https://directus.european-athletics.com/assets/fc552d94-c51d-463d-8ac9-483a4975f695" alt="Vilagos" width="2022" height="1330" />
Tzengko gamely produced her best throw of the competition in the last round but the distance of 59.60m - which would have won the gold medal at four of the last five editions of the World U20 Championships - was insufficient to shake up the medal order.
Vilagos becomes just the second athlete to win a world U20 title for Serbia after Ivana Spanovic in 2008 and she is eligible to not only defend her world U20 title next year but also to challenge for the European U20 title in Cluj-Napoca, Romania in 2023.&nbsp;&nbsp;
However, there was a change to the standings in the last round of the men&rsquo;s shot put final which was also affected by the conditions with the throwers habitually wiping down the throwing circle before each throw.
Belarus&rsquo; Yauheni Bryhi led the competition with a first round lifetime best of 19.70m but this was eclipsed in the very last round by Cuba&rsquo;s Juan Carley Vazquez Gomes who went three centimetres further with 19.73m.
Switzerland&rsquo;s Jephte Vogel won a surprise bronze medal with 19.16m, a marked improvement on his performance at the European U20 Championships in Tallinn where he didn&rsquo;t reach the final.
His teammate Melissa Gutschmidt also won a bronze medal in the women&rsquo;s 100m final in 11.51 behind Jamaica&rsquo;s Tina Clayton (11.09) and Namibia&rsquo;s Beatrice Masilingi (11.39).

Vanninen adds world U20 heptathlon title to her collection in Nairobi

The European Athletics U23 and U20 Championships in Tallinn were hugely successful and record-breaking championships both on and off the track with record participation numbers and live streaming figures two of the principal indicators of success.
In spite of the challenges caused by the pandemic, a record number of athletes participated in both events. A total of 1161 athletes travelled to the European Athletics U23 Championships from 8-11 July which surpassed the previous record total of 1089 athletes from Gavle 2019.
On a similar theme, 1226 athletes travelled to the European Athletics U20 Championships from 15-18 July. This eclipsed the previous record of 1151 athletes from Grosseto 2017.
European Athletics Interim President Dobromir Karamarinov said: &rdquo;First and foremost I would like to pay tribute to the Estonian Athletic Association and the Local Organising Committee for the amazing job they did in hosting two championships back-to-back. In addition to the scheduled organisation of the European Athletics U20 Championships, they also organised the U23 Championships at very short notice and delivered both competitions to the very highest of standards.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&ldquo;We were able to provide the ideal stage for competition for these two age categories which are so important for the development of our sport in Europe, and in turn we witnessed some truly top class performances.&rdquo;
There was extensive streaming of both championships through the European Athletics website courtesy of European Athletics&rsquo; long-time partner EBU. 
As well as the main feed, their groundbreaking All Athletics platform also housed individual feeds dedicated to field events across the two championships which are available to watch on demand.
The live streaming figures follow the upward pattern of the Torun 2021 European Athletics Indoor Championships with record figures amassed in both events. Over 235,000 unique viewers tuned in for both events, handsomely surpassing the figures for the 2019 European Athletics U23 and U20 Championships at 150,000 and 188,000 unique viewers respectively.&nbsp;
This shows the continued demand for live athletics across the continent and demonstrates that age-group championships are an attractive product to athletics fans as well as being imperative stepping stones in the development of young athletes.
European Athletics CEO Christian Milz said: &ldquo;The European Athletics U23 and U20 Championships in 2021 were not only an organisational feat by delivering two age category events back-to-back, but were also a record in terms of athlete numbers with approximately 1200 travelling athletes per competition proving a new record for both events.&nbsp;&nbsp;
&ldquo;Off the track the events in Tallinn, Estonia also provided new highs with 238,000 unique users and over 900,000 views for the U23 Championships, and 236,000 unique users and 872,000 views for the U20 Championships, for the live stream and video on-demand supplied via the EBU&rsquo;s All Athletics platform.&rdquo;
More than half of European Athletics&rsquo; Member Federations had medals to celebrate in both championships. A total of 27 Member Federations won medals at the European Athletics U23 Championships with that figure rising to 29 for the U20 equivalent.

While the traditional superpowers of European Athletics dominate the medal table, there were notable firsts for some of the smaller countries in the Estonian capital. 
Andorra won its first ever European medal at the U23 Championships courtesy of bronze from Nahuel Carabana in the 3000m steeplechase and Muhamet Ramadani won Kosovo&rsquo;s first ever European title in athletics with gold in the shot put at the U20 Championships.
Also at the U20 Championships, high jumper Jonathan Kapitolnik won Israel&rsquo;s first ever gold medal at the European Athletics U20 Championships and 16-year-old long jumper Jeremy Zammit became Malta&rsquo;s first ever European U20 finalist in any event.

Record-breaking participation and streaming figures recorded for European Athletics U23 and U20 Championships

Great Britain topped the medal table at the Tallinn 2021 European Athletics U20 Championships for the second successive edition with six gold medals - and twelve medals in total - ahead of Germany and Ireland with four gold medals apiece.
After winning individual 100m, 200m and 400m titles, the Brits were the overwhelming favourites in both relays barring dropped batons, injuries or any other unforeseen circumstances.&nbsp;
Thankfully both quartets came through their finals unscatched as Ethan Wiltshire anchored the Brits to the 4x100m title in 39.74 before individual 400m winner Ed Faulds closed the track programme with a scorching 44.97 anchor leg for victory in the 4x400m in 3:05.25.&nbsp;
Their winning time was less than one second off the championship record of 3:04.58 set by an East German quartet dating all the way back to 1981 in terms of antiquity.
One day after winning a bronze medal in the 200m, 16-year-old Success Eduan anchored the Brits in the women's 4x100m to provide the first part of a British double in 44.62 ahead of Germany in 44.68.&nbsp;
[TWITTER ID="http://twitter.com/EuroAthletics/status/1416802787900395521"]
Another of the final day highlights was the crowning of Belgium&rsquo;s Jente Hauttekeete in the decathlon. Hauttekeete led by more than 300 points overnight and while his advantage was chipped away by his Norwegian rival Sander Skotheim over the course of the second day, the Belgian still won by a comfortable winning margin of more than 150 points with 8012 points.
Despite only setting two individual lifetime bests, Hauttekeete&rsquo;s score of 8150 points corresponded to a national U20 record and he moves up to fourth on the world U20 all-time list behind Germany&rsquo;s Niklas Kaul (8435 points), Norway&rsquo;s Markus Rooth (8238 points) and Australia&rsquo;s world U20 champion Ashley Moloney (8190 points).
After the first ten finishers in the heptathlon all set lifetime bests, the decathlon was also of a very high standard. Despite the extremely long sessions and the hot conditions which saw some of the combined eventers take a dip in the steeplechase water jump post-competition, five of the top six decathletes came away from the Kadriorg Stadium with lifetime best totals.
[TWITTER ID="http://twitter.com/EuroAthletics/status/1416745916913143812"]
One of the most dominant performances of the championships was Mykolas Alekna&rsquo;s masterclass in the discus. All six of his valid throws would have won the title and the 18-year-old ended up winning the title by more than six metres after extending his lead to 68.00m in the last round, only missing the championship record by two centimetres in spite of the slippery throwing circle.
&ldquo;At home, I train under rainy conditions, so this was not a problem for me. I'm very happy. Living and training in Vilnius [which is so close] was an advantage, it did help me, because it felt like competing at home. My parents came out here to support me, so that's good too. I'm excited that all my family are also professional athletes, it's good for me. Their advice is to always be competitive, and focus in every situation,&rdquo; said Mykolas, the son of 2000 and 2004 Olympic champion Virgilijus.

Three relay titles propel Great Britain to the top of the medal table in Tallinn

Sweden's Maja Askag enhanced her status as one of the breakthrough performers at the Tallinn 2021 European Athletics U20 Championships by winning her second gold medal on the last day of competition in the Kadriorg Stadium on Sunday (18).
Having already won the triple jump title, Askag went on to double her title haul with a gold medal in a thrilling and high quality long jump final. In doing so, Askag became just the second female jumper in history to sweep both horizontal jumps titles at the European Athletics U20 Championships after Russia&rsquo;s Anastasiya Ilyina in 2001.
Askag broke new ground in the triple jump - which she considers her primary event - when she broke the 14 metre-line for the first time in the final with 14.05m to come within seven centimetres of Ilyina&rsquo;s long-standing championship record but her performance in the long jump final was arguably even better; and certainly the more unexpected.
Askag had qualified for the final with a lifetime best of 6.45m but this mark underwent further revision this evening. The 18-year-old took the lead in the second round with 6.54m before taking full advantage of the benign conditions and an advantageous tailwind to further extend her advantage.
While her subsequent marks won&rsquo;t be considered lifetime bests, Askag crested a 4.1 m/s tailwind in the third round to improve to 6.60m. After briefly losing her lead to Spain&rsquo;s Tessy Ebosele in the fifth round with 6.63m, Askag immediately regained the lead with another wind-assisted jump of 6.75m.
The medal positions behind Askag were in flux throughout a dramatic sixth round but nobody could surpass the Swede&rsquo;s lead. And with her second gold medal confirmed, Askag defied her leaden legs with the last jump of the final to glide out to 6.80m with only a marginally illegal following wind of 2.2 m/s for assistance.
[TWITTER ID="http://twitter.com/EuroAthletics/status/1416798254470242313"]
&ldquo;It was a great weekend. Two titles - I just cannot believe it. I was about to cry when I realised that I won today. That was something I really did not count on. My preferred event has always been the triple jump because I was better in it. But last year, we also developed the long jump and it is nice to switch the events.
&ldquo;I think the triple jump is much harder for the body so I am really glad that the first event at these championships was the triple. My legs were getting a bit heavy from all the jumping,&rdquo; said the winner.
Behind Askag, Ebosele came away with the silver medal with her fifth round jump of 6.63m. A jubilant Laura Raquel Muller briefly moved into bronze medal position with her sixth round jump of 6.61m but she was shunted out of the medals by her German teammate and European leader Mikaelle Assani who eclipsed Muller&rsquo;s mark by an agonising one centimetre to reach the podium.
Sweden won three of the four horizontal jump titles on offer in Tallinn as Askag&rsquo;s compatriot Gabriel Wallmark dominated the triple jump earlier in the final day programme. All three of his valid jumps would have won the title and his winning mark of 16.39m in the first round also represented the best jump in the world by an U20 this year.
His mark also broke Christian Olsson&rsquo;s Swedish U20 record of 16.30m. And the reward for his success? Ten pizzas!
&ldquo;Now, I just want to celebrate with my friends. We have a bet and now they owe me 10 pizzas for breaking a national record!&rdquo; he said.
Bulgaria&rsquo;s Dimitar Tashev won silver with 16.18m and Viktor Morozov won one of two medals for hosts Estonia on the final day of competition in Tallinn with 16.14m.
The other medal came in the women&rsquo;s high jump as Britt Weerman broke the spell of seven silver medals for the Netherlands in Tallinn with a 1.88m clearance for gold ahead of neutral athlete Natalya Spiridinova and Estonia&rsquo;s Elisabeth Pihela who both cleared 1.86m to win silver and bronze on countback.
