European Athletics President Svein Arne Hansen met with European Olympic Committees President Patrick Hickey before attending the European Evening of Sports on Wednesday.
Hansen, accompanied by European Athletics Director General Christian Milz, visited the Brussels-based EOC EU Office – the representation of the European Olympic Committees and other major sport organisations to the European Union – to meet with President Hickey.
“We had a good, frank, conversation about European Athletics’ different events and activities and EOC activities, and President Hickey gave me an update on preparations for the new European Games,” said President Hansen.
“My focus as European Athletics President is, of course, on what is good for the development of athletics in Europe, and it was good for me to speak with Mr. Hickey in my early days in this role to understand better his thinking on various matters concerning sport on the continent, and I look forward to further fruitful discussions.”
While in Brussels, Hansen was also invited by Hickey to attend the European Evening of Sport organised by the EOC EU Office.
