Tallinn to Host 2015 European Youth Athletics Championships
At a meeting in Berlin on Saturday, the European Athletics Council picked Tallinn as the location of the 2015 European Athletics U23 Championships.
“Estonia has shown itself as being able to organize top-level European Athletics events before, as we saw with the excellent European Athletics Junior Championships in 2011, while they will also host the 2013 European Athletics Convention in October this year," Hansjörg Wirz, the president of the council, said in a press release.
"We have been assured by the presentation made today that this important event in 2015 will be organized to the high level that we have come to expect.”
The event is expected to draw around 1,000, up to 23-year-old competitors to the nation’s capital in 2015.
