European junior records in the sport of athletics are ratified by the European Athletics Association (EAA). Athletics records comprise the best performance of an athlete before the year of their 20th birthday. Technically, in all under-20 age divisions, the age is calculated "on December 31 of the year of competition" [1] to avoid age group switching during a competitive season.
Key: Awaiting ratification Record not kept by EAA will not be ratified by EAA
ht = hand timing
X = unratified due to inadequate doping control
mx = mixed race
OT = oversized track (> 200m in circumference)
