Each sport maintained its own medal table,[11] but an overall medal table is also maintained,[12] the leader of which won the European Championship trophy. Russia won the inaugural trophy and topped the medal table by gold medals won with 31, whilst co-hosts Great Britain topped the total medals table with 74 medals, 26 of which were gold. A chasing pack consisting of Italy, the Netherlands, co-hosts Germany and France each won over 10 gold medals and 40 medals in total.
