The Lasko 2020 European 10m Championships in Slovenia has been postponed to November.

The Europeans were initially scheduled to take place from 11-19 June. The new competition dates are 20-25 November.

Ukraine topped the medals table at Belgrade 2018 followed by the host nation in second and France in third.
