OTS - CHALLENGE HISTORY: EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS 2022 in Munich!
2019. November 12. 10:05
Munich, 12 November, 2019 (APA/OTS) - To mark the 50th anniversary
of hosting the Summer Olympics, the Olympic Park Munich will be
putting on a huge sporting celebration from 11 to 21 August 2022 as
it welcomes the European Championships - the largest event to take
place at the Olympic Park since the 1972 Summer Olympics. Over the
years the Olympic Park has witnessed numerous sporting highlights,
including the 1974 FIFA Football World Cup, the 1988 UEFA Football
European Championships and the 2002 European Athletics World
Championships as well as 30 more world championships, a dozen
European championships and the 2013 X Games. The Olympic Park
Munich has also played host to concerts by some of the most
legendary names in music, from the Rolling Stones and AC/DC to
Pink, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran and Rihanna.
All in all more than 14,000 events have been held at the
Olympic Park Munich since it opened in 1972, but none have been as
big as the European Championships. "We are delighted to have been
chosen to host this multi-sport event bringing together athletes
from across Europe. Our team has worked very hard to achieve this,
from the bidding process to the negotiations and the financing. I
would like to take this opportunity to thank the German national
government, the regional government of Bavaria and Munich city
council. We are looking forward to a fantastic anniversary year,"
comments Marion Schöne, CEO of the Olympic Park Munich.
The architects of Munich Olympic Park were visionaries -
designing a multi-functional park in the heart of Munich that has
hosted more than 14,000 events. However, since the summer of 1972,
none of those events will compare to August 2022, when more than
4,000 athletes from across Europe will descend on the Bavarian
capital to compete for more than 150 medals in 10 disciplines. So
far six sports have been confirmed: ATHLETICS, CYCLING, GOLF,
GYMNASTICS, ROWING and TRIATHLON.
The sustainability of the European Championships 2022 is also
assured. Using pre-existing infrastructure, the impact of the
Championships on the surroundings will be minimalised. This green
ethos is further enhanced thanks to the close proximity of the
venues and excellent public transport links between the Munich
Olympic Park and downtown Munich.
