Hansen expects strongest ever Championships
BERLIN (GER): EA President Svein Arne Hansen described the upcoming Berlin 2018 European Athletics Championships as the strongest ever. The competition gets underway tomorrow and will involve seven reigning Olympic champions, 15 reigning world champions and 34 individual gold medallists from the 2016 European Championships in Amsterdam across the six day competition. “I think it’s the strongest championships we have ever seen,” Hansen said at the pre-event press conference held in the city’s Royal Porcelain Manufactory. “Berlin is ready. I was elected three years and some months ago, and I think what I’ve been looking forward most to in those three years is these championships. It’s a really, really special place to be. We are so proud that we are bringing every top athlete in European Athletics to compete in these championships. That is going to secure the success of this event.”
