1934 European Athletics Championships
The 1st European Athletics Championships were staged at the Stadio Comunale in Turin, Italy from 7 September to 9 September 1934 including only men's events. Women's championships were held separately in 1938, but men's and women's events were combined at one venue from 1946.
The discussion on the European Championships started before 1930, when a Hungarian member of the IAAF, dr. Stankovics, submitted his idea to the International Federation. During the Congress of IAAF in Berlin, on 24 September 1933 the Federation approved his proposals and Italy hosted the first championships.
