GENERAL INFORMATION The official website for the European Athletics Junior Championships 2015 is: www.eskilstuna2015.com 1.1 Welcome To Eskilstuna! More than 100,000 people live here, which makes Eskilstuna the fifteenth largest city in Sweden. The city celebrated its 350-year anniversary in 2009 and got its name from Saint Eskil who worked in Tuna in the 11th century. Eskilstuna is best known for its mechanical engineering industry with companies such as Volvo and Assa but also the pop group Kent and the soccer player Sebastian Larsson. In the city centre there is a wide selection of shopping, restaurants and cafés for all tastes. There are also several lovely green spaces, for example Stadsparken, Rothoffsparken and Strömsholmen, all perfect for a picnic with the Eskilstuna River close by, which flows right through the city. If you like culture and history, we recommend a visit to the Rademacher Forges from the 17th century, the Art Museum or the Munktell Museum with important parts of Eskilstuna’s history on display. Just a stone’s throw away from the pulsating life of the city is the shopping center Tuna Park with a mini golf center, conveniently located close to Parken Zoo, the city zoo and funfair. Take the opportunity to make a visit – free admission by presenting the accreditation card! There’s also a swimming pool at Parken Zoo, if you wish to take a swim. If you’d rather visit a beach, you can do so at Sundbyholm. There you will also find a guest harbor with service and the Sigurd rune stone — one of Sweden’s finest relics of the past. The European Athletics Junior Championship is the biggest event ever arranged in Eskilstuna. The competitions will take place at the Ekängen Athletics Venue located 2, 5 km from the city centre. Every evening during the event there will be festivities at Fristadstorget, the city square in the middle of the city, and everyone is invited. Ungdomens Hus will also be open in the evenings, a place where you may engage in activities or just hang out. Some of you will stay in the neighboring town Västerås. Västerås is Sweden’s sixth largest city with 142,000 inhabitants. This is where the world-renowned retail store H&M was founded. It’s an exciting industrial town, leader in automation and energy and a city for events and meetings, seething with life. You will come across unique accommodation — a tree house and an underwater hotel – experience our spectacular archipelago and if you visit in early July, you will have a chance to see the world’s largest gathering of American cars! In Västerås you can visit castles, Sweden’s largest ancient burial-mound, and a cathedral that’s been awarded with three stars in the Guide Michelin. Enjoy boat rides and wonderful walks along the beach with charming cafés alongside of the lake Mälaren. We have Sweden’s only “action baths” – Kokpunkten – an eight-storey water park built in a 100-year old steam power station. With our unique selection of activities, shopping and world-class events in combination with our interesting history we proudly welcome you to our exciting town. A hearty Welcome to the European Athletics Junior Championships 2015! We hope you will have a pleasant stay and enjoy the championships! 6 Follow us in – please use #eskilstuna2015 1.3 Good to know: Facts, Business Hours Shops, Government Offices, Banks Official Language Swedish Population in Eskilstuna 101,129 (on 28/2/2015) Currency Swedish krona (sign: kr, code SEK) Coins are issued to the value of 1 kr, 5 kr and 10 kr Notes are issued to the value of 20 kr, 50 kr, 100 kr, 500 kr and 1000 kr.

We want to ensure a clean sport and fairness amongst all competitors. One way is to search for cheating athletes through doping controls. We are continuously improving our testing programme, however, controls and tests are only a tool to identify those athletes that already broke the rules and have cheated everybody by doping. We want to support the true and clean athletes when they start to engage in our sport. We need to show that we are ready to help and give them guidance to challenge doping. European Athletics aims to promote education for awareness, knowledge and prevention. The athletes can only act in the right way if they know the rules and know the danger of doping. As a long term goal we wish to contribute with our programme to the promotion of fairness and respect among athletes. We need to fight doping as it is destroying the fundamental principle of our sport: fair play. In order to target the youngest group of athletes, the programme which is supported by the UNESCO, the World Anti-Doping Agency and the IAAF will be implemented for the sixth time at the European Athletics Junior Championships in Eskilstuna/SWE (16-19 July 2015). Please encourage your athletes to take part in this important programme. Only together we can make our sport drug free! 10.3.1. Procedure of the Programme at the Championships All competing athletes will have a chance to learn and take part in an electronic quiz about doping in our educational tent located in the warm-up area. The electronic quiz is a multiple choice test which will give a detailed explanation in case of wrong answers. Participants who successfully answer 8 out of 10 questions will receive one of the “I run Clean, I throw Clean, I jump Clean, I walk Clean” T-shirts. The programme will run on all 4 competition days in order to give all athletes the possibility to take part. As an added bonus all athletes are invited to the anti-doping education programme tent to meet Olympic, World and European Triple Jump Champion Christian Olsson and get their t-shirt signed by the legend himself at 10:30 on Saturday and Sunday! 10.2.2 Selection of Athletes The selection of athletes for control will be made on a final position and/or random basis under the supervision of the European Athletics Doping Control Delegate.

Through a unique and original collaboration between three Eskilstuna companies: Smedja Sothönan, Svenska Medalj AB and aStory Communications Agency – unique medals are created according to the traditional ways in the Rademacher forges in Eskilstuna. The design is made by aStory Communications Agency and Smedja Sothönan. It is joyful that the medals can be made here in the city. The medal consists of two parts. The stamped metal – gold, silver or bronze – is encircled by a hand-forged “sun” and a wreath. The motive on the stamped metal is a variation of the EJCH logotype. The medals are roughly 80mm in diameter and the stamped metal about 50mm in diameter. 180 medals will be produced in total. The motive is comprised of bubbles since water is a general theme chosen for the EJCH. The water power and the rapids have been – and still are – important to the city and has given its power to Eskilstuna and it’s industries as well as water ways for the transportation of goods. Eskilstuna has a tradition of smithing that goes a long way back in history. Reinhold Rademacher recieved special privileges from the King of Sweden and moved his smithing manufactory from Livland to Eskilstuna in the 1600’s. Eskilstuna Fristad, a sanctuary for metal workers, made it possible for Eskilstuna to develop and grow into an industrial city. In the Rademacher Forges from the 1600’s, smithing is still practiced. Nina Hedenfelt from Smedja Sothönan forges according to the old customs but with both old and new manifestations. She is educated in iron smithing at the handicrafts school Sätergläntan in Dalarna, Sweden. 38 Svenska Medalj AB is an Eskilstuna company with fine old traditions that has been making medals since 1972. Today they are the only company in Sweden with this kind of production and their work is characterized by great knowledge of handicraft and quality. The company makes everything from sports medals, key rings, pins and cuff links to the Nobel prize medals and the Swedish King’s reward medals. aStory is a local communications agency that work with both national and international assignments and is based in Eskilstuna and Stockholm. They wish to work with and to be a part of things that happen in Eskilstuna and the surrounding area. 13.4 Closing Party The Closing Party will take place on Sunday 19 July from 22:00 to 01:00 at the Lokomotivet, Munktellstaden, in Eskilstuna city centre.

2013 best lists and statistics show that athletes are more and more using Junior implements only, thus it does not look necessary to define any entry standards for Senior implements. Entries Individual participation (503.5): Each European Athletics Member Federation may enter up to 4 (four) athletes in each individual event of whom up to 3 (three) may participate provided all of them shall have achieved the qualifying standard for that event (see regulation 508.1.3). Alternatively to 503.5, each European Athletics Member Federation may enter one athlete in each individual event if such athlete has not achieved the qualifying standard for that event. For each event, provided that any European Athletics Member enters only 1 (one) athlete, such an athlete shall not be required to have reached the qualifying standard for that event (e.g. 100m three athletes competing = all must have entry standard, long jump one athlete competing = no entry standard necessary). Relay teams (503.7): Each European Athletics Member Federation may enter 1 (one) team in each relay event. Up to 6 (six) athletes may be entered for each relay. From these 6 (six) and from any other athletes entered for any event in the European Athletics Junior Championships, the 4 (four) athletes to participate must be nominated at the time specified for the Final Declaration. Conditions: • Performances must be achieved between the 1 January 2014 and 6 July 2015; • Performances must be achieved in bona fide competition (either indoors or outdoors) organised in conformity with IAAF Rules; • Performances must be achieved during competitions organised or sanctioned by the IAAF, its Area Associations or its National Member Federations. Thus, results achieved at other competitions must be certified by the National Federation of the country in which the competition was organised; • Performances achieved in mixed events (between male and female participants), held completely in the stadium, shall not be accepted as entry standards; • Wind assisted performances will not be accepted; (For the combined events the conditions set in IAAF Rule 260.27 [version 2009] will still be applied for qualification purposes, so either the average velocity (based on the algebraic sum of the wind velocities, as measured for each individual event, divided by the number of such events) shall not exceed plus 2 m/s or the wind velocity in any individual event shall not exceed plus 4 m/s); • Competitors must comply with eligibility qualifications for Area Games or Championships as set out in the IAAF rules; • No athlete may compete in the European Championships unless entered by an European Athletics Member Federation;   52 53   54                                                                                                                                  APPENDIX 4A EKÄNGEN ARENA APPENDIX 4B EKÄNGEN WARM-UP AREA, RUNNING 55 APPENDIX 4D AROSVALLEN TRAINING AREA APPENDIX 4C – TRAINING AREA AROSVALLEN • 6 lanes 60m • 4 lanes 200m • 1 High Jump site • 1 site for Long/Triple Jump • 1 Shot Put Circle APPENDIX 4C MUNKTELLARENA TRAINING AREA Eskilstuna/SWE • Table tennis • Boule • Minigolf • 8 lanes 100m • 6 lanes 200m • 1 High Jump • 2 site for Long and Triple jump • 1 Discuscage • 1 Javelin site 56 57 10 Mixed Zone 5 Media Centre 6 Media Tribune 7 TV/Radio Area 8 Event Management T1 Dedicated Car T2 Car pool B Shuttle Bus 58 11 4 59 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16.
