2018 European Athletics Championships

The 2018 European Athletics Championships were held in Berlin, Germany, from 6 to 12 August 2018. The championships were part of the first European Championships with other events happening in the United Kingdom.

For the second Championships in a row, the Russian team did not participate; this was due to the suspension of the All-Russia Athletic Federation by the International Association of Athletics Federations. However, several athletes were cleared by the IAAF to compete as Authorised Neutral Athletes under the flag of the European Athletic Association. Mariya Lasitskene became the first such athlete to win a gold medal, in the women's high jump.

Medals awarded years later after doping cases Although in April 2018, before this European Championship race in Berlin 2018, which actually took place on August 11, the Disciplinary Commission of the Czech Athletics Association (CAS) had notified the czech athlete Anežka Drahotová of an irregularity in her biological passport (doping), on 19 July 2021 (three years later), the athlete was cleared and the silver medal she won on the field was reassigned, as also confirmed by the Statistic Handbook published by the EAA on the eve of Roma 2024.

But the situation that seemed to be over took a further turn on 15 May 2025, therefore after the publication of the EAA Statistical Handbook of Rome 2024, when WADA's appeal against the acquittal ruling of July 2021 was accepted and at this point the EAA rewrote the competition rankings, once again excluding Drahotova from the rankings. As a result, the Italian Antonella Palmisano moves from bronze to silver while the bronze medal is awarded to the Lithuanian Živilė Vaiciukevičiūtė who came in 4th.
