LOCAL ORGANISING COMMITTEE STRUCTURE

EUROPEAN ATHLETICS PRESIDENT’S WELCOME MESSAGE I am very pleased to welcome everyone to the European Athletics U20 Championships here in Borås.

This competition returns to Sweden after a gap of just four years, with Eskilstuna having been the host in 2015, and I think this fact alone shows what a big contribution Sweden makes to European Athletics.

I have fond memories of that championship as it was one of the first European Athletics competitions on the calendar after I became President a few months earlier. It was an outstanding event, both on the track and off it, and I feel confident that it will be the same here.

Some of the medallists from four years ago have already proven themselves at the highest level.

Belarus’ Elvira Herman won the 100m hurdles in Eskilstuna and repeated that feat when taking the European Athletics Championships gold medal in the same event last summer in Berlin. My Norwegian compatriot Karsten Warholm won two silvers in the 400m and decathlon at this championship before his stunningly successful switch to the 400m hurdles, and most of you know the rest of the story.

In addition, a number of other medallists from Eskilstuna also climbed the podium in Berlin so you can see that as well as providing outstanding competition in their own right the European Athletics U20 Championships are also a glance into the crystal ball and identify many of the future stars of our sport.

the Netherlands last December, that these championships were one of his main targets for this summer, After so many accolades already as a teenager, competing here will be a fitting finale to this outstanding athlete’s U20 career on the track.

European Athletics are very grateful to the Svenska Friidrottsförbundet – the Swedish athletics federation – the town of Borås as well as all the officials and volunteers with the Local Organising Committee for all their hard work and commitment to staging this event.

Some of the athletes who will be competing here in Borås have already made an impact in this age-group. No less than 11 European athletes who won medals at the IAAF World U20 Championships Tampere 2018 are still eligible to compete in this age group.

If I can be patriotic for a moment, I was particularly thrilled when I heard Jakob Ingebrigtsen say, just after he won his third European U20 cross country title in

Svein Arne Hansen European Athletics President

SWEDISH ATHLETICS ASSOCIATION GENERAL SECRETARY’S WELCOME MESSAGE Dear Guests of the European Athletics U20 Championships, I am very happy and proud to welcome you to Borås and what will be a both memorable and spectacular event – for the athletes as well as the audience. Athletes from 50 nations, all over Europe, have looked forward to these championships for a long time. And so have I. Spectators from the area can look forward to watching the new and exciting young generation of Swedish athletes fighting for medals, with support from a big crowd. Among the ones to look out for are Tilde Johansson, Carl Bengtström and Ragnar Carlsson. All of them have had a great indoor season and are looking very promising for the future.

Along with them are of course many new international rising stars. I hope that we will be able to enjoy the participation of the fantastic Norwegian middle distance runner Jakob Ingebrigtsen.

When visiting the championships I also recommend people to experience the wonderful city centre, to take a stroll along river Viskan and enjoy the numerous sculptures and massive street art murals.

There are also a lot of reputed museums and a fantastic zoo if you have more spare time during your stay.

A junior championship is the first steps onto the road to a career as a professional athlete, giving promising stars the opportunity to test their wings and getting new and valuable experiences. But it is not only the athletes who have been training and preparing for these championships. The local club, IK Ymer and the athletics community of Borås have a long commitment to strengthening the sport locally, with an aim to reach and engage more people in an active lifestyle and maybe spark a dream of an athletics career. The coaches and club officials work professionally together with this common goal in mind. The city of Borås have made noticeable and valuable investments in the arena, the sport facilities and the surrounding event area.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you – European Athletics, the city of Borås, the members of the organising committee, sponsors and all volunteers for making these championships possible.

Now, let´s have fun and together, charge a lot of positive energy and pass it over to all athletes giving their best at the track and in the field. Borås and Swedish Athletics welcome all of you with a big smile and we hope you will enjoy your stay!

Stefan Olsson General Secretary, Swedish Athletics

MAYOR OF BORÅS’ WELCOME MESSAGE This summer we are thrilled to welcome athletes from all over Europe to compete in the European Athletics U20 Championships in the city of Borås. The competitors are probably preparing for the championships by following carefully planned exercise schedules.

Meanwhile, we are preparing by planning the event in order to present an environment with the best conditions for the athletes, the sports enthusiasts and the supporters.

We can expect wonderful championships with young talents demonstrating outstanding sport performances. You can expect dedicated and well prepared organisers and a thriving city waiting to be explored.

Welcome to enjoy several days of sport and excitement at Ryavallen Athletics Stadium.

Welcome to Borås!

Ulf Olsson Mayor of Borås

WELCOME TO BORÅS Borås, the city by Viskan river, is a thriving and vibrant place full of colour, nature, art, and design - and in July 2019, the home to Europe’s finest in athletics. As Sweden’s 13th city with over 112,000 inhabitants, Borås perfectly balances between being a big city and a small town. Big enough to encompass a wide range of entertainments, culture and services but small enough to have everything at close range.

Textile heritage

Borås has long been a city of sports. The city is blessed with one of the best basketball teams in Sweden, Borås Basket, as well as the football team IF Elfsborg, who always gather a great crowd at Ryavallen and Borås Arena. The arena is proudly embellished with a mural of the city’s famous football player Anders Svensson.

At fashion and textile fairs across the world, Borås is a well renowned place. The Swedish School of Textiles and Nordiska Textilakademin, both based in Borås, are two examples of leading Swedish schools for the textile designers of the future. The textile tradition is even more relevant than ever today, with Textile Fashion Center, Borås and Sweden’s international centre for fashion, textiles and design, at the heart of the city.

Many stars have stepped out onto the ground of Ryavallen over the years, to win championship titles and break records. One of athletics’ greatest, the Olympic champion Carolina Klüft, was born in Borås and has competed at Ryavallen several times. Who will be the next star to reach new heights during the 2019 European Athletics U20 Championships?

Borås is also the centre of Nordic mail order, with many well-known businesses based here.

Examples are H&M, Gina Tricot, Ellos Group and Consortio Fashion Group, which includes Bubbleroom, Cellbes and Halens. Millions of packages are sent from the area every year.

Vibrant public outdoor gallery

A city with ambition

But the city is not only a place for sports. If you mention Borås to anybody with an interest in art, they will soon rave about the city’s fantastic museums, sculptures and street art. Most everyone in Sweden knows of the nine meter tall bronze sculpture of Pinocchio – Walking to Borås by Jim Dine, and other sculptures in town include, but are not limited to, House of Knowledge by Jaume Plensa, Declination by Tony Cragg, Vibration by Xavier Veilhan, and Non-Violence by Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd.

Borås is simply, and always has been, a city with a lot of ambition. And we are building like never before. Cafés and restaurants are popping up on every street-corner, next to tall buildings and event arenas. Borås is a city full of experiences waiting to be discovered.

Not least Borås Zoo, one of the best zoos in Sweden, indoor and outdoor swimming areas in the middle of the city, and a beautiful countryside with vast forests always within easy reach.

The street art festival No Limit has also contributed to the vibrant cityscape, with international artists transforming the city into a giant outdoor gallery with everything from installations to 25 meter tall murals. The art is best enjoyed on a guided tour, but wherever you go you will experience colourful and thought provoking works of art, whether it be on the side of buildings, in the city park or in the main square.

10

The city is also famous for its fashion and design, and the local region has enjoyed a solid reputation as a centre of textiles for decades, even centuries. The textile industry made Borås into one of Sweden’s most expansive cities in the 1900’s, and in the 1960’s, the industry employed two thirds of the industrial workers in Borås.

Welcome to Borås, to enjoy Colourful Moments Together.

BORÅS - A CITY OF SPORTS Borås has long been a city of sports. The city is blessed with one of the best basketball teams in Sweden, Borås Basket, as well as the football team IF Elfsborg, who always gather a great crowd at Ryavallen and Borås Arena. The arena is proudly embellished with a mural of the city’s famous football player Anders Svensson.

Ryavallen Athletics Stadium was inaugurated in 1941 and has been a central venue for both football and athletics through more than half a century. Originally the stadium hosted more than 19,000 spectators and in 1961, 22,654 spectators watched the football game between IF Elfsborg and IFK Norrköping.

During the 1958 football World Cup in Sweden, two matches were played at Ryavallen: The Soviet Union vs Austria and Austria vs England.

In 2005 the new football Stadium Borås Arena was inaugurated and in 2012 Ryavallen was renovated, for the Swedish Athletics Championships in 2013, to a modern athletics stadium. Since then Ryavallen has been used for several national and Nordic athletics events.

12

In the last decade, the city has hosted several major sporting events where the Swedish Athletics Championships, O-Ringen (the world’s largest orienteering competition), Floorball Champions Cup, the World Championships in trial, two Swedish Championships weeks (with Swedish Championships in about 50 different sports on each occasion) are some examples.

One of athletics’ greatest, the Olympic champion Carolina Klüft, was born in Borås and has competed at Ryavallen several times.

The ambassador of 2019 European Athletics U20 Championships, Emma Green also has special memories from Ryavallen Athletics Stadium. Ryavallen was the place where she back in 2005 qualified for the World Championships in Helsinki. Many stars have stepped out onto the ground of Ryavallen over the years, to win championship titles and break records. Who will be the next star to reach new heights during the 2019 European Athletics U20 Championships?

RISING EUROPEAN STARS Sarah Healy IRELAND Sarah Healy followed in Delia Sclabas’ footsteps by winning a 1500/3000m double at the second edition of the European Athletics U18 Championships in Gyor, Hungary in July last year.

Healy eclipsed both of Sclabas’ championship records - 4:18.71 in the 1500m and 9:18.05 in the 3000m - and her task was made slightly more complicated with 1500m heats scheduled on the morning of the 3000m final.

Healy has already left her mark on the Irish senior stage as well. Just days after celebrating her 17th birthday in 2018, Healy powered to the Irish indoor 3000m title in 9:10.43 with a closing kilometre of 2:55 to shatter the national U18 and U20 records.

Her range extends down to 800m - she has clocked a national U18 and U20 record of 2:02.76 for the distance - but her best distance for now is the 1500m. Healy produced a massive lifetime best of 4:09.25 in Tubingen, Germany to finish last season at the top of the world U18 lists.

Maria Vicente SPAIN Spain’s Maria Vicente won two gold medals at the European Athletics U18 Championships in Gyor and she could have even won more. Not only did she win the heptathlon title with a world U18 best of 6221 points, her performances in the 100m hurdles (13.25) and the long jump (6.37m) were both in excess of the winning marks in the individual finals in Gyor.

Vicente did win her second title of the championships in an event which isn’t even part of the heptathlon programme. After dominating the heptathlon from the first event, Vicente showed her competitive spirit in the girls’ triple jump final by responding to Aleksandra Nacheva’s sixth round jump of 13.88m with another championship record and lifetime best of 13.95m.

Vicente set six lifetime bests to win the heptathlon title with a world U18 best. She said she was most pleased with her javelin in which she improved her lifetime best by seven metres to 43.28m.

At 17, Ingebrigtsen was the youngest entrant in both events but he ran with the poise and maturity of a seasoned veteran, holding off a late charge from Poland’s Marcin Lewandowski to win the 1500m final in 3:38.10 before running away from older brother Henrik over the last two laps of the 5000m final in a European U20 record of 13:17.06.

Ingebrigtsen initially broke the European U20 5000m record at the IAAF World U20 Championships in Tampere where he won silver in the 1500m and bronze in the 5000m in 13:20.78, improving a record which had stood since 1979 by seven seconds.

Ingebrigtsen also broke the European U20 mile record with 3:52.28 at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene and decimated the European U20 1500m record with 3:31.18 in the Monaco Diamond League.
