RunBlogRun presents Apeldoorn2025 – The European Athletics Indoor Championships Review European Athletics Indoor Championships Apeldoorn, Netherlands
The 2025 European Athletics Indoor Championships were held in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands, from March 6 to 9, 2025. Each session was sold out, and the crowd loved every event!
Each session, each day, the Dutch fans had something to celebrate! On the final day, the Dutch team took five gold medals. Jakob Ingebrigtsen entertained the distance fans by racing 3,000m on Thursday and Friday, and 1,500m on Saturday and Sunday. The LOC organized this event precisely. On day one, the final event was the Mixed Relays, anchored by Femke Bol. The crowd went crazy.
Both the Pentathlon and the Heptathlon kept the fans going session by session. The sprints and the sprint hurdles were exciting in each round. Sanders Skotheim of Norway and Saga Vatinen of Finland impressed.
The long and triple jumps surprised us, but the pole vaults were exceptional, and the high jumps were all full of surprises.
The final session was three hours of cheering for the Netherlands! Five gold medals for the Dutch, finishing with Men and then, the Women’s 4×400 meters, anchored by Femke Bol.
The championships was spectacular! A strong facility (used for Cycling) with great views, and wonderful coffee. This was my fifth European Indoors. Why do I come back? The atmosphere! The athletes, the fans, the media. Seeing my dear friends for three plus decades was great and comforting.
In these dystopian times, spending time in Europe with athletes, coaches and fans from forty-six countries, reminded me that we do live in a global village.
