Key actors
Paris Athlé 2020 is in charge of the organization of the 2020 European Athletics Championships under the supervision of the European Athletics and in close relationship with the French Athletics Federation.
After Paris was designated as the host city of the 25th European Athletics Championships, the Paris Athle 2020 Organising Committee was set up, under the presidency of Jean Gracia. The team includes former French athletes: Marie-José Pérec, in charge of the Paris 2020 Club, as well as Eunice Barber responsible for national and local promotion as well as the legacy.
The Organising Committee’s ambition is to leave a strong legacy to the entire French athletics family by contributing to the development of its members’ competences.
