2017 European Combined Events Team Championships Explained
The 2017 European Combined Events Team Championships was the 33rd edition of the biennial international team track and field competition for European combined track and field events specialists, with contests in men's decathlon and women's heptathlon. It was the first edition to be held under that name, following a rebranding away from European Cup Combined Events. Held over 1–2 July, it consisted of three divisions: Super League, 1st League, and 2nd League. The Super League events were held at Kadriorg Stadium in Tallinn, Estonia, while the lower divisions were held at the Pista de Atletismo de Monzón in Monzón, Spain. National teams were ranked on the combined points totals of their best three athletes in both men's and women's competitions.[1]
Ukraine won the Super League competition, led by Oleksiy Kasyanov and Alina Shukh. The Netherlands and Spain took first and second in the 1st League to gain promotion to the Super League. Lithuania and Latvia were the top two nations in the 2nd League, earning promotion to the 1st League. The best individual performers across the championships were Estonian Janek Õiglane in the decathlon, with a personal best of 8170 points, and Dutchwoman Nadine Broersen, with 6326 points in the heptathlon.
The reigning team champion Russia did not compete in the competition due to the nation's ban from international athletics for doping.[2]
