Berlin will host the inaugural European Championships, a competition that for all intents and purposes is a smaller Olympics.
Taking place over eleven days in August 2018 it will showcase athletics, swimming, gymnastics, cycling, rowing, triathlon and golf. Unusually, it’s not all happening in one city.
Like the Olympics, it will only be held every four years. Here’s how to watch this time around.
