A bit of an oddity this, an attempt to combine the European Championships for some (mostly) Olympic sports next month. The majority of them are in Glasgow/Scotland but the Athletics is in Berlin (scheduled before the idea came together I think) though in future years, if they happen, they will look to stage everything in one city.
I'm not sure the world needs another multi-sports event (especially with the European Games that started in Azerbaijan a few years ago being underwhelming, even though they're apparently trying them again in Minsk in 2019) although many of the individual championships have long histories.
I'm up in Glasgow the first weekend of August on a trip to see some of the Cycling along with some football & speedway. I was hoping to see some rowing but as it's 25 miles out of town I'm not quite sure I'm going to fit it in.
