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

The announcement was made by the Lasko 2020 Local Organising Committee (LOC) and World Shooting Para Sport on Thursday (16 April).

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

The decision to postpone the Championships was taken due to the current status of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced many sporting events to be cancelled or postponed around the world.

Lasko 2020 will be second European 10m Championships following the successful first edition held in 2018 in Belgrade, Serbia, with 122 athletes from 27 countries.
