European Women's Artistic Gymnastics Championships

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The European Women's Gymnastics Championships are an artistic championships for female gymnasts from European countries organised by the European Union of Gymnastics. They are held annually, though rotate between two different formats.

Originally held biannually in odd-numbered years, the championships moved to even-numbered years in 1990. In 2005 a second set of championships was introduced, titled the "individual championships". Although numbered as a separate event, winners in either event are considered European champions, and the championships as a result have in effect become an annual event, but in two formats: in even-numbered years, a stand-alone women's event incorporates the European Junior Artistic Gymnastics championships (an entirely separate men's competition is held in the same years, although occasionally at the same venue), while in odd-numbered years, the separately numbered 'individual championships' are held in conjunction with the men's competition of the same description, but without juniors, as a single event.

As a result, there is no individual all-around title awarded in even-numbered years (except for juniors), and similarly no team all-around title awarded in odd-numbered years. Otherwise the apparatus and titles are identical. In effect, the juniors championships remain biannual.

In 2022, as part of the multisport 2022 European Championships in Munich, an individual all-around title was introduced in an unusual format, combined with both team and apparatus qualification. In 2023 an equivalent modification was made so that the qualification process for the individual and all-around finals doubled as a team final. In so far as even numbered years still have a separate team final, and odd numbered years a separate individual final, the distinction in formats remains, but all titled are now awarded annually.

A further event, the European Games also holds a full set of championships for European artistic gymnasts in the year preceding the Summer Olympic Games, having begun in 2015. These, however, are organized by the European Olympic Committees and are not recognized as part of the continuity of the European Championships. Gymnastics was dropped from the 2023 European Games.[a]
