European Olympic Committees Announce Netherlands As 2019 European Games' Host

The European Olympic Committees announced that the Netherlands, the only bidder, will host the European Games in '19, according to Karolos Grohmann of REUTERS. EOC President Patrick Hickey said, "The Dutch have put together a very exciting proposition for the 2019 European Games, which fits perfectly with the EOC's strategic approach and prioritizes flexibility, sustainability and world-class quality." Azerbaijan will "stage the inaugural multi-sports event next month with 11 sports offering direct or indirect qualifying for next year's Rio de Janeiro Olympics." But swimming and athletics, both "major attractions, will be represented with second tier athletes and competitions." The European Games "could also see competition from the European sports championships" in '18 (REUTERS, 5/16).
