The 1938 European Athletics Championships were held in two separate venues: the men’s competition took place in Paris, France, from 3–5 September 1938, while the women’s competition was staged in Vienna, Austria, from 17–18 September 1938.
Greek participation
- Team size: Historical records indicate that Greece sent a small contingent of male athletes to the Paris meeting. The exact number of competitors is not consistently documented in accessible encyclopedic sources.
- Events entered: Greek athletes competed in track and field disciplines typical of the era, such as sprints, middle‑distance runs, jumps, and throws. Precise event entries for individual Greek athletes are not comprehensively listed in standard reference works.
- Medal performance: Greece did not win any medals (gold, silver, or bronze) at the 1938 Championships.
Contextual notes
- The 1938 Championships were the second edition of the European Athletics Championships, following the inaugural 1934 games in Turin, Italy.
- Participation from many nations, including Greece, was modest due to the political and economic climate preceding World War II.
Limitations of available information
Detailed rosters, individual performance results, and exact numbers of Greek competitors are not fully documented in widely available encyclopedic references. Consequently, only the overarching participation and medal outcome can be confirmed with certainty.
