European Athletics Championships 2026: Great Britain Leads Medal Table

After the second day of competition at the European Athletics Championships 2026 in Birmingham, Great Britain leads the medal table. The country has achieved notable success in both the men’s and women’s 100m events, securing gold medals through athletes Glave and Hunt.

As the championships progress into the third day, the women’s hammer throw final is set to take place shortly. Additionally, in the men’s decathlon, Germany's Leo Neugebauer is currently leading with a score of 2819 points, followed by Jeff Tesselaar from the Netherlands and Germany's Sander Skotheim in second and third places, respectively.

However, the event has faced criticism due to the visibility of thousands of empty seats during the opening days. Organisers have responded to this backlash, addressing concerns from spectators regarding the attendance at the championships.
