A
fter what was a great year
for athletics in 2014, we are
pleased that the event tasked
with keeping up the momentum
our sport has on the continent
is the Prague 2015 European
Athletics Indoor Championships.
Being held from 6-8 March,
it is the first major athletics
championships of the year,
following
the
outstanding
Zurich 2014 European Athletics
Championships and promises
to be the latest in a line of
memorable athletics events.
It has been 37 years since Prague
hosted the European Athletics
Championships at the Strahov
Stadium in 1978 and therefore
a celebration is to be expected
the during these European
Athletics Indoor Championships.
The sheer interest in athletics at
this moment in time will ensure
that the eyes of Europe and
the world will be trained on
Pra¬gue the whole weekend.
I am confident the spectators
will enjoy an exciting event, with
ideal conditions for all athletes
taking part.
for their continued support and
unstinting cooperation.
On behalf of European Athletics,
I would also like to thank the
City of Prague, the Czech
athletic federation and the
local organising committee
for all their hard work so far
in the organisation of the
championships.
We are all looking forward to
another outstanding event,
and we are confident that
the European Athletics Indoor
Championships 2015 - with your
invaluable help - will write its
own special chapter in athletics
history.
Hansjörg Wirz
European Athletics President
I know from my many visits to
Prague that Czech people love
athletics and sport in general
and along with the emergence
of some fine local athletes,
I have no doubt that they will
fill the arena all three days of
the championships to catch
a glimpse of the many stars we
saw in 2014.
I would like to take this
opportunity to thank our
long-standing
International
Partners: Spar, Omega, Le
Gruyère AOP and Eurovision

heart of europe, heart of athletics
A
thletics has a long tradition
and great reputation in the
Czech Republic.
This has happened because
of the extensive grassroots of
the sport, which have been
established for many years, but
also thanks to dozens of our
athletes who have produced
outstanding
performances
over the years and who have
become globally recognised
personalities, and of whom we
are justly proud.
We have already organised
many international athletic
events in the Czech Republic,
I can recall from the last ones,
for example, the 2007 IAAF
World Youth Championships
or the 2011 European Athletics
U23 Championships, which
took place in Ostrava; the 2006
European Cup First League
in Prague, or the 1997 IAAF
World Race Walking Cup in
Poděbrady.
From a historical perspective,
we should also remember
the 1978 European Athletics
Championships, which were
hosted in Prague.
Organising the 2015 European
Athletics Indoor Championships
is an honour and a unique
chance for the Czech Athletic
Federation, and also for our
capital city, to show off one
of the most important athletic
events ever to be staged in this
country to Czech athletics fans.
Czechs love sport, they are
passionate about it and athletics
is one of the most popular ones.
The 2015 European Athletics
Indoor
Championships
is
a major undertaking for us and
it is an event not only for Prague
but for the whole of the Czech
Republic.
I am sure the European Athletics
Indoor Championships in Prague
will be a great experience for
you and an event you will want
to remember.
You will compete in one of the
most modern multi-functional
arenas in Europe and I believe
that the tribunes filled with
excited
fans
will
create
atmosphere that you will be able
to show the best in you. I hope
the European Athletics Indoor
Championships in Prague will
be very successful for you and it
will be the event you will want to
remember. I can promise that as
the Championships organisers,
we will do everything possible
to ensure you have a good time.
Libor Varhaník
President of the Czech Athletic
Federation and the Local Organising
Committee
1.GENERAL INFORMATION
The 33rd European Athletics Indoor
Championships will take place in Prague
from 06 - 08 March 2015.
PRAHA
The capital of the Czech Republic
– Praha/Prague has always
played an important role in the
history of the country and Europe.
Since the Middle Ages Prague has
been famous as one of the most
beautiful cities of the world and
has been attributed adjectives
such as “golden“, “hundredspired“, “the crown of the world“.
The unique character of the city
is also partly a consequence of
its natural environment: Prague,
similar to Rome built on seven hills,
was built on nine hills along the
Vltava river, which flows through
the city for a distance of 31 km
and forms a perfect unit with the
city. The dominant features of the
city architecture are reflected
in the river: towers, church spires
and cupolas, palaces and town
houses, along with the greenery
of gardens, parks and islands.
Prague was founded on the
cross-roads of ancient trade
routes at a site where the most
varied spiritual and cultural
currents merged. The history of
the city begins with the founding
of Prague Castle in the 9th
century. Of the original stone
buildings in pre-Romanesque
style, a basilica remains from the
second half of the 10th century,
and forms the core of St George´s
church. Among the preserved
Romanesque structures in Prague,
three renovated rotundas can be
visited. At the time of the founding
of the Old Town of Prague at the
beginning of the 13th century,
the Romanesque style began to
be replaced with the Gothic; the
oldest structure in this style is the
Convent of St Agnes of Bohemia
or the Old-New Synagogue,
while St Vitus Cathedral, Charles
Bridge, the Church of Our Lady
before Týn etc. are examples
of the prime of this style. The
greatest flourishing of the Czech
state occured at this time, which
will eternally be connected with
the monarch Charles IV, who
founded the famous Charles
University in 1348, the first university
in Central Europe. The late Gothic
style is connected with buildings
such as Vladislav Hall, the Powder
Tower and the Old Town Hall with
the Horologe.
In the 16th century the
Renaissance
style
started
to be favoured by the court
aristocratic circles. The first and
truly representative structure is the
Royal Summer Palace along
with many aristocratic palaces
in Prague. The Church did not
favour the Renaissance art; on
the other hand, it was completely
taken over in the 17th century by
the Baroque style. Especially the
Lesser Town is characterized by the
Baroque style and the Church of
St Nicholas forms a predominant
feature of this area. A number
of styles alternated in the 19th
and the beginning of the 20th
century. The most important
buildings include the Classicist
Estate Theatre, Neo-Renaissance
National Theatre and Rudolfinum
and the Art Nouveau Municipal
House and Main Railway Station.
The period of the first half of the
20th century was influenced by
the Czech Modern style and
Architectural
Cubism
which
was an original style, with no
counterpart in contemporary
international art.
Nowadays,
Prague
is
an
important European city that
attracts visitors not only by the
abundance of architectural gems
the generations of our ancestors
left us. It is a place where cultural,
social and political events of
international importance are held
as well as a popular destination
for trade fairs and congresses.
