The Nordic Athletics Championships is an international athletics competition between Nordic countries – Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Iceland. In its original form, it was held on three occasions, in 1961, 1963 and 1965.[1]
In the 2000s, there were several Nordic Championships held for under-20 and under-23 athletes. In 2023, the senior competition was revitalized and held again in Copenhagen.[2]
The competition programme featured a total of 34 individual Nordic Championship athletics events, 22 for men and 12 for women.[1] The limited number of events for women reflected that of the Olympic programme of the time.[3] In 2023, it returned with an equal number of events for both sexes, save for the women's steeplechase.[2]
