Welcome
Now that the 2017 Artistic Gymnastics Europeans in the Romanian city Cluj-Napoca
have come to an end, the focus of the UEG shifts fully towards Glasgow 2018. We
are proud to be part of this new multi – sport event, bringing together some of the
continents leading sports and existing European Championships. Glasgow has a superb
track-record in organising sport events and we can count on many gymnastics fans
to join the enthusiasm of the Scottish crowd to support all athletes and make it a
Georges Gulzaec Championships to remember. It’s also a great occasion to promote our sport amongst
President, UEG other sports fans and stand out on TV.
Glasgow has established itself as one of the most exciting places in the world to
host major sporting events and we are delighted that the Glasgow 2018 European
Championships will once again shine a light on the city and its wonderful people.
The city’s passion for gymnastics and sport in general was highlighted during the
2014 Commonwealth Games and again during the FIG World Artistic Gymnastics
Championships in 2015. Both events proved memorable for athletes, officials and fans
Jane Allen and we are all eager to see the sport make its return to Scotland and The SSE Hydro in
CEO, British Gymnastics August 2018.
Olympic gold medalist Max Whitlock has remarked that Glasgow crowds are the loudest
he has ever experienced and we expect the noise levels to increase even further as
fans watch some of the world’s best gymnasts compete for the status of European
Champion. A home crowd can have such a positive impact on our athletes and there’s
no doubt that the crowds at Glasgow 2018 will ensure that everyone enjoys their
moment; win or lose.
Euan Lowe The SSE Hydro will once again provide a fitting platform for elite and junior gymnasts
CEO, Scottish Gymnastics to showcase their remarkable talents within this exciting multi-sport format. We hope
that by hosting another significant gymnastics event in Glasgow, we can inspire the next
generation of young gymnasts to spring ahead and fulfill their ambitions within the sport.
It is hard to believe that we are only 15 months away from the Glasgow 2018 European
Championships.
Excitement is building with each passing day as we look forward to what will be a new
highlight on the global sporting calendar. We are delighted that the European Artistic
Gymnastics Championships will be at the heart of the action.
Colin Hartley Over the years, The SSE Hydro has been home to some of the world’s most prestigious
Championships Director, sporting events and in 2015 it hosted the FIG World Artistic Gymnastics Championships
Glasgow 2018 – one of the most successful editions of the event and I’m sure it will shine once again
in the spotlight next year. The event itself will give fans the opportunity to see Europe’s
world-class gymnasts in action and I am sure they will turn out in large numbers.
Working closely with our partners at UEG, British Gymnastics and Scottish Gymnastics
we are determined to deliver an event that takes European gymnastics
to the next level.
About the Championships
A new era in world sport will get underway in the summer of 2018 as Glasgow and Berlin host the
inaugural European Championships — an exciting new multi-sport event bringing together some of
the continent’s leading sports, with Glasgow and Scotland hosting Aquatics, Cycling, Golf, Gymnastics,
Rowing and Triathlon, and Berlin hosting Athletics.
To be staged every four years starting in August 2018, the European Championships will be a new
highlight on the global sporting calendar, elevating the status of European Champions during an 11-
day celebration of world-class sport and a packed 10-day broadcast schedule.
Scotland’s recent sporting journey has been nothing short of remarkable. Fresh from delivering the
best ever Commonwealth Games in 2014, The 2014 Ryder Cup and the 2015 World Gymnastics
Championships, Glasgow and Scotland will play host to 12 sporting disciplines as part of the Glasgow
2018 European Championships.
The Championships will take Scotland’s sporting reputation to the next level. A potential
television audience of up to 1.03 billion across Europe is set to watch the action. Our
venues will again be in the spotlight with the event being covered by free-to-air
broadcasters, including the BBC, across the continent.
Delivered in partnership with the European sports federations and
supported by Glasgow City Council and the Scottish Government,
the Championships will allow the hosts to continue their
legacy journey by inspiring the next generation of
young athletes as well as offering cultural and
volunteering opportunities.
An action-packed programme of
cultural activity will run alongside
the Championships, capitalising on
Glasgow and Scotland’s international
reputation for creative excellence and
allowing everyone to play their part
in the celebrations. Glasgow’s iconic
George Square will form the beating
heart of these activities, alongside
Merchant City Festival, with other live
sites planned across the country.
2018 will be Scotland’s Year of
Young People and we look forward
to celebrating the role that young
people play in sport and culture, and
the crucial contributions they will
make to Glasgow 2018.

Glasgow – Host City
Glasgow’s recent sporting journey has been nothing short of remarkable.
Fresh from delivering the best-ever Commonwealth Games in 2014 and the
2015 FIG World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, we are currently one of
the world’s top five sporting cities.
Glasgow’s success is built on our international events programme, our
continued investment in world-class facilities such as the Emirates Arena and
our commitment to increasing participation and securing a lasting legacy for
future generations. Close to £200m has been spent on new and improved venues since 2009, as
part of a citywide £1bn investment in infrastructure.
These venues have been home to some of the world’s biggest and best sporting events over the
years. And there is more to come including the Glasgow 2018 European Championships, which
we are all looking forward to. Also on the horizon are the 2017 Total BWF Badminton World
Championships, 2019 European Athletics Indoor Championships and 2019 European Short
Course Swimming Championships.
But it is about much more than elite competition. At the same time as hosting
world-class events the number of people in our city taking part in sport
is now at an all-time high. The sport sector also supports around
10,000 jobs in the city and contributes approximately £370
million to Glasgow’s thriving economy.
Glasgow really is a sporting city like
no other.
Councillor Susan Aitken
Leader of Glasgow City
CouncilWelcome to Scotland
Scotland’s sporting reputation has never been higher thanks in part to
playing host to what is regarded as the best ever Commonwealth Games and
a spectacular Ryder Cup in 2014.
Glasgow 2014 reinforced Scotland’s status as one of the world’s leading
major events destinations. But far from being just about sport, the Games
were an essential element of a wider strategic goal to boost Scotland’s key
tourism and events industries.
We used the Games as a catalyst to secure further major events for Scotland, both in the lead
up to and beyond 2014, with a view to boosting the local and national economy and cementing
Scotland’s international profile as a world-class destination for business, events and tourism.
Since the Commonwealth Games, a further 37 major events have been secured or delivered in
Scotland, with an estimated economic impact of over £14m, showing just how important
sport is to our economy.
But it is not just sport that Scotland is famous for. We are renowned for our
warm welcome and beautiful scenery, with Lonely Planet recently naming
Scotland as one of the top three countries to visit.
High praise indeed and a reflection of what makes Scotland
so special.
Aileen Campbell MSP
Scottish Government
Minister for SportThe Venue
The SSE Hydro on the banks of the River Clyde is widely regarded as one of the world’s leading
entertainment and sports venues. The multi-purpose indoor arena is located within the Scottish
Event Campus and was officially opened in September 2013.
With a capacity for sports events of up to 8,000 people, The SSE Hydro was modelled on Greek and
Roman amphitheatres. The 45m tall building, with its distinctive silver dome, stands higher than
the neighbouring Armadillo. Translucent materials used in the facade give the building a colourful
glow at night.
The SSE Hydro has been designed from the inside out. Spectators can enjoy outstanding viewing
angles from every seat in the in the tiered and demountable seating system and the acoustics are
of the highest standard helping cement its growing reputation.
Since first opening its doors The SSE Hydro has established itself as Scotland’s premier venue of its
kind and was ranked as the eighth-busiest music arena in the world in terms of ticket sales.
Over the years it has also been home to some of the world’s most prestigious sporting events
including the gymnastics and netball at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.
In 2015 it hosted the FIG World Artistic Gymnastics Championships – one of the most successful
editions of the event. With attendances of close to 80,000 people, the event was credited with
setting a new benchmark for gymnastics by FIG President, Professor Bruno Grandi.
The SSE Hydro was pivotal in this achievement, breaking convention with a number of innovations
including an incredible ‘Mega Wall’ screen and an eye-catching podium design, both of which were
well received by the gymnasts over 10 days of top class competition.
The Glasgow 2018 European Championships will see world-class gymnastics make a welcome
return to this spectacular venue with Europe’s finest male and female gymnasts once again set to
go for gold.
