Italy topped the medal table at the 2026 European Athletics Championships.
Italy won 22 medals in total: 10 gold, six silver and six bronze. That placed it ahead of host nation Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which won 19 medals, including nine golds.
Germany finished third in the medal table with 21 medals. Although Germany collected more silver medals than Italy, championship medal tables rank nations primarily by gold medals, followed by silver and bronze when necessary.
Italy’s leading performances included victories by Nadia Battocletti, Andy Díaz, Leonardo Fabbri, Massimo Stano and the men’s 4 × 400 metres relay. The result continued Italy’s strong recent European championship form after it topped the medal table in Rome in 2024.
