History
During a meeting of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) in Los Angeles in 1932, the Council designated a special committee and gave it the task of studying conditions for the organisation of the European Championships. At its meeting in Berlin in 1933, the IAAF Council designated a European Committee, whose first meeting was held in Budapest in January 1934 and it was in that very same year that the European Championships were first held in the city of Turin.
