Panathlons Beitrag zu den World Fair Play Awards
Viel Panathlon bewegte sich den Tag, als die World Fair Play Awards im Ratssaal des Rathauses in Pest verliehen wurden.
Die madjarische Hauptstadt empfing die Gäste des Comité International pour le Fair Play (CIFP) mit einem an bedeutenden Momenten reichen Programm.
Der Morgen war einer Konferenz im Hörsaal der Fakultät für Körpererziehung gewidmet, die das European Fair Play Movement (EFPM) ausrichtete um seinen 25. Gründungstag zu feiern. Äusserst interessant der Vortrag von Zsigmond Nagy, der die vom Zusammenhang zwischen Fair Play, Moral und Sportgesetzgebung erzeugten Aussichten veranschaulichte.
Bei der Verleihungsfeier der Preise – siehe die aufgeführte komplette Liste – zählten viele von Panathlon International, der ja Mitglied des CIFP ist, empfohlene Namen zu den Ausgezeichneten.
Fabio Caramel erhielt den Pierre de Coubertin Preis für die Geste aus den Händen des Präsidenten Jeno Kamuti.Der Vorschlag stammte vom Panathlon Club Venedig.
David Smetanine, Preis für die Karriere, war abwesend, weil er paralympische Wettkämpfe austrug. An seiner Stelle nahm die Vizepräsidentin des Clubs Grenoble Marie Claire Nepi, die ihn auch ernannt hatte, den Preis entgegen.
Der französische Club erhielt ebenfalls die Anerkennung für seine Ernennung von Geo Perli, dem die Ehrenurkunde für die Karriere im Fair Play Geiste zuteil wurde.
Eine Ehrenurkunde für die Karriere erhielt ebenso Roberto Camelia auf Vorschlag der 9. Zone – Sizilien. Er erschien in Begleitung sizilianischer Panathleten, die ihn begeistert feierten.
Federico Bollati und Rodolfo Carrera, beide Kandidaten des Clubs Pavia, erhielten je eine Ehrenurkunde für die Geste aus den Händen des Vizepräsidenten des CIFP Maurizio Monego.
Für die Förderung erhielt der CEO der Volleyball Oberliga Massimo Righi den der Club Bononia präsentiert hatte, eine Ehrenurkunde.
Die Freude über Panathlons Beute spiegelte sich in den blauen Augen der Generalsekretärin von P.I. Simona Callo, die in Vertretung des Präsidenten Pierre Zappelli anwesend war.
Es war ein schönes Fest, und das Treffen so vieler Champions, die mit ihren Werten die Menschlichkeit im Sport bezeugen, hat die Gefühle jedes guten Sportlers erquickt.

Opening Panathlon EU Brussels June 20 - 2019
On June 20thPanathlon International had the honor to welcome Mr. Yves Le Lostecque, Head of Unit SPORT DG EAC, at the opening of the Panathlon EU Brussels club.
International President Pierre Zappelli spoke about the important challenge for Panathlon International in supporting the aim of EU in sport and education.
Panathlon’s cradle stood for obvious reason in Italy. As an international Movement for the promotion and dissemination of culture and sport ethics according to the IOC official recognition it is more than logical that Panathlon assumes its responsibility in facilitating the ethical aim of sport in the EU.
Therefor it is promising that the representation of Panathlon in Brussels generates a new club for International members. As an attractive platform for EU citizens the club will facilitate the exchange of good practices and the development of new project to achieve our common ethical goals.
Mr. Arjan van ‘t Veer president of the new club welcomed the audience and focused on the important role of sport in society where quality leisure time has become a priority.
Vice President of Panathlon EU Brussels Mr. Vlaemminck gave a short overview of the club’s program.
In the next month’s Panathlon EU Brussels will focus on three themes:
- the possible exploitation of young athletes: the risk associated with the migration of young football players from Africa
- inclusiveness: age shouldn't be a barrier to playing competitive sports
- the excessive commercialization of Sport
As partner of EWOS the new club will also focus on a program that participates at this European Sport Event.
