2012 EUROPEAN ATHLETICS CHAMPIONSHIPS

Drodzy Uczestnicy 21. Mistrzostw Europy w Lekkoatletyce!

Stolica Finlandii – kraju niezwykle rozkochanego w Królowej Sportu – w przededniu Igrzysk XXX Olimpiady gości najlepszych lekkoatletów Starego Kontynentu. Stadion Olimpijski w Helsinkach już po raz trzeci będzie areną Mistrzostw Europy. Helsinki można nazwać miastem lekkoatletyki – w 1971 i 1994 gościły już czempionat Starego Kontynentu, tutaj w 1983 i 2005 rywalizowano o medale mistrzostw świata, odbyło się wiele prestiżowych mityngów i meczów lekkoatletycznych, na starcie których zawsze gromadziła się światowa czołówka. Dziś – w roku olimpijskim 2012, który dla światowej lekkoatletyki jest szczególny również w związku z setną rocznicą powstania IAAF – Helsinki ponownie znajdą się w centrum uwagi całej lekkoatletycznej Europy. W gronie ponad 1300 zawodników znajduje się blisko 60 osobowa grupa Polaków. Występ na stadionie w Helsinkach w przypadku każdego z naszych reprezentantów był poprzedzony przygotowaniami i ciężką pracą, wymagającą wielu wyrzeczeń. Jestem pewien, że trud ten przyniesie efekty w postaci jak najlepszych wyników. Wszystkim polskim zawodnikom, uczestniczącym w 21. Mistrzostwach Europy, życzę poprawienia rekordów życiowych oraz zdobywania wskaźników na najważniejszą imprezę czterolecia. Zawsze stawiajcie sobie ambitne cele walki o miejsca finałowe i medale. Wierzę, że wrócicie do kraju usatysfakcjonowani osiągniętymi rezultatami. Waszym wychowawcom, opiekunom i trenerom życzę satysfakcji z ciężkiej pracy. Jerzy Skucha Prezes Polskiego Związku Lekkiej Atletyki

Dear Participants of 21th European Athletics Championship Helsinki – the capital of country that has great feelings towards Athletics – welcomes the best athletes of Europe right before XXX Olympic Games in London. This city can be called the city of athletics; It hosted European Championship in 1971 and 1994, as well as World Championship in 1983 and 2005. Moreover, many other prestigious meetings have taken place in Helsinki with world class athletes competing in them. Today Helsinki are in the center of European athletics again. This is especially interesting because 2012 is 100th anniversary of founding IAAF. Among above 1300 athletes one may find a group of 56 Polish athletes. Each one of them has worked for this opportunity very hard. I am confident, that this effort will be crowned with good performances. I wish all Polish athletes taking part in European Championship improving their personal records and reaching the qualification standards for Olympic games. Be ambitious and fight for finals and medals. I trust you will come back to Poland satisfied with your performances at the championship and I would like to take this opportunity and wish all the best to you , coaches and the support team.
