ATHENS (Reuters) - The second edition of the European Games this summer is the main gateway to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics for European athletes but the multi-sports event is still in search of a clear identity amid growing competition.
The Games in the Belarus capital Minsk from June 21-30 will host more than 4,000 athletes across 15 sports but they are facing competition from the European championships, another multi-sports event hosted for the first time in 2018 and which has several major federations on its side.
