Notes
- P The ECA chose not to organise that year's Canoe Sprint European Championships because of the European Games,[2] so a separate Paracanoe European Championships were held as a result.
- Paracanoe add to race from 2013, also one event in 2010 - http://www.europecanoeevents.com/events/results
