ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

European Athletic Association

The European Athletic Association (EAA) is a group of people who love sports. They like to watch people run, jump, and throw things as far as they can.

Imagine that you and your friends are having a race. You're all running as fast as you can, and it's super exciting! The EAA organizes bigger races like this one, but with athletes from all over Europe.

The EAA makes sure that everyone has a fair chance to win. That means they have rules that everyone has to follow, and if anyone breaks the rules, they might be in trouble.

They also want to make sure that athletes are safe and healthy while they are competing. So they check the track and field to make sure everything is in good condition, and they have doctors near the field to help if anyone gets hurt.

When athletes do really well in their races, the EAA gives them medals and prizes. That way, they can remember how awesome they did!

Overall, the European Athletic Association helps make sure that people can keep running, jumping, and throwing for a long time and have fun while doing it!
