"I think Istanbul gives us an additional, new opportunity for innovation," EOC President Spyros Capralos said in an online press conference. Capralos said more federations, including gymnastics, were looking to send top athletes to the European Games. The addition of new sports to the 2027 European Games along with the offer of Olympic qualifying spots fits with the International Olympic Committee's strategy of boosting the visibility of qualifying events for the Games.
