Some of Europe’s biggest women’s field event stars will take centre stage in Athens.
Serbia’s world bronze medallist Angelina Topic returns in search of a third high jump victory at this meeting after wins in 2023 and 2024. But the competition will be fierce once again following last year’s dramatic showdown with Great Britain’s Morgan Lake.

The Olympic champion has medalled at the last five editions of the championships, including gold in 2016 and 2018.
Fans can also look forward to strong long jump and triple jump contests featuring Alina Rotaru-Kottmann, Milica Gardasevic and Cuba’s Davisleydi Velasco.
