European Athletics (EAA) – News – Vote for European Athlete of the Month for July

The month of July saw the outdoor track & field season in full flow with two weeks of superb action during the European Athletics U23 Championships and the European Athletics Junior Championships in Ostrava, Czech Republic, and Tallinn, Estonia, respectively.

The 10^th European Mountain Running Championships and a number of top one-day meetings also dotted the busy calendar of July and provided a perfect lead-up to the IAAF World Championships in Athletics scheduled to take place later this month in Daegu, South Korea.

Following this, European Athletics is pleased to announce the nominations for the European Athlete of the Month for July representing 12 countries.

The European Athlete of the Month initiative was launched in January 2007 and is designed to recognise outstanding performers at all levels of the sport in Europe.

European Athletics names a male and female winner each month and features the athlete on the European Athletics website. Selections are based on votes by the public, the media and a panel of European Athletics experts, with each counting for 33.3 percent of the final vote. In the unlikely event of a tie, Hansjörg Wirz, the President of European Athletics, will have the casting vote.

No athlete who has previously served a two-year doping ban can be nominated for or win the European Athlete of the Month.

The voting will close on Wednesday 17 August at noon CET.
