Finals B took place in Hungarian Budapest on August 10-11, Finals C in Austrian Schwechat and Icelandic Reykjavik .
The tournament was selected for the 1985 World Cup in Canberra . The two best teams each earned the right to represent Europe, the USSR and the GDR, for both men and women.
For the first time, the 10,000-meter women's run was included in the European Cup program.
In terms of the results shown, this A final was the best in history. In the women's part of the competition, 15 European Cup records were set (out of 16 possible), and together with the men the total number of record results reached 23 (almost 2/3 of all the conducted types).
20-year-old Stefka Kostadinova from Bulgaria showed the second result in the history of the women's high jump, 2.06 m: only her compatriot Lyudmila Andonova jumped 1 cm higher a year earlier. Together with Tamara Bykova, they made attempts at the height of the world record, but this time without success.
Olga Vladykina won the 400-meter race for a clear advantage and set a new USSR record - 48.60, the eighth result in world history. Another all-Union achievement was on account of Olga in the relay 4x400 meters, where she performed in the fourth stage - 3.18.58.
Alexander Vasiliev was the first and only Soviet athlete to run 400 meters with hurdles faster than 48 seconds (47.92). However, even this result was not enough for him to get ahead of European record holder Harald Schmid .
19-year-old Briton Zola Budd with a national record won the distance of 3000 meters (8.35.32).

Final A
Team Championship
The main struggle between men and women unfolded between the teams of the USSR and the GDR. In both cases, the teams were close to each other most of the tournament, and the decisive events took place in the middle of the second day. The turning point in the men's competition was after a 110-meter hurdled run, where Sergey Usov won, and his East German opponent Jorg Nauman became the eighth and thus lost seven points to a direct competitor. Among women, the struggle was more stubborn, and the separation of the Soviet team increased gradually and by the end amounted to 7 points.
Thus, the USSR men's team interrupted a series of GDR teams from five victories in a row and 12 years later regained the main prize, the Florence Cup. Women went to their victory and possession of the βSilver Girlβ even longer: the GDR had won the last 7 finals before, and the previous success of the Soviet team was dated 1967.
France for men and Italy for women dropped out to final B.
