The 31st European Men's Artistic Gymnastics Championships was held from 19 to 25 May 2014 at the Arena Armeec in Sofia, Bulgaria.[1] They were held in conjunction with the 2014 European Women's Artistic Gymnastics Championships, which ended 18 May in the same arena.[2] It was the fourth time the senior and junior women's and men's European championships had been held in one location, which posed logistical difficulties for the organizers; there were also issues with installing the podiums and apparatuses.[3] For team events, five gymnasts were on each team; for seniors, three gymnasts competed on each apparatus, and all three scores counted toward the team total, while for juniors, four gymnasts could compete on each apparatus, with the top three scores counting.[4][5]

The junior team from Great Britain won a fourth consecutive junior team gold despite two falls in the final apparatus rotation.[7] In the individual all-around, Nile Wilson won gold by more than a point with the highest scores on the high bar and floor.[8] He won a further three events in the apparatus finals, pommel horse, parallel bars, and high bar, for a total of five golds at the competition.[9]

In the senior event, the Russian team won gold, with the British team in second and the Ukrainian team winning bronze.[10] Denis Ablyazin from Russia won three further gold medals in the apparatus finals (floor, rings, and vault).

In the high bar final, Epke Zonderland, the reigning Olympic and World champion on the event, won by more than a point.[11]
