For the first time in 90 years (!) : European Athletics Championships in Rome provide a first by distributing prize money to athletes

At the European Athletics Championships in Rome this summer, athletes will receive prize money for the first time. The European Athletics Federation has released 500,000 euros. “It's a milestone for the sport and an historic development,” said European Athletics Chairman Dobromir Karamarinov. The European Athletics Championships have been around since 1934.
