34rd European Men's Artistic Gymnastics Championships Venue Mersin Gymnastics Hall Location Mersin , Turkey Start date 9 December 2020 End date 13 December 2020 Competitors 125 (62 senior & 63 junior) from 20 nations
The 34th European Men's Artistic Gymnastics Championships were held from 9 to 13 December 2020 at the Mersin Gymnastics Hall in Mersin , Turkey .[ 1] The competition was originally scheduled to be held from 27 to 31 May 2020 in Baku , Azerbaijan , but it was rescheduled due to the COVID-19 pandemic .[ 2] The Baku event was rescheduled for 9 to 13 December, before the event was relocated to Mersin.[ 3] [ 4] Originally an Olympic qualifying event , the competition was undesignated as such in light of the ongoing pandemic, so as to avoid pressuring member federations to attend if they were not willing to do so.[ 5]
Only 20 nations opted to send athletes, as the majority of countries withdrew out of concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe . European Gymnastics barred the Polish Gymnastics Federation from sending any athletes due to outstanding financial obligations resulting from their hosting the 2019 edition of the event.[ 6]
