The sports news published in "Głos Bolesławca" in 1994 featured the names of athletes and their achievements. They are current or former residents of our city. Following the example of other newspapers, I decided to compile a list of athletes with brief information about them and propose that readers choose the best athlete and coach of Bolesławiec in 1994.
The sports sections existing in our city represent disciplines that have made their mark on the sporting map of the city, the province and the country. Here is a list to help us choose the best:
FOOTBALL
1. MANDZIEJEWICZ ZBIGNIEW – BKS trainee, currently with Legia Warszawa, winner of the Polish championship and the Polish Cup, first place in the second division;
2. SZCZĘSNY BOGDAN – BKS trainee, currently with Śląsk Wrocław, a regular player of the team that took first place in the second division;
3. SZCZEWCZYK ZBIGNIEW – BKS trainee, currently in the German second division, Meppen team

The list above is certainly missing many names that deserve to be mentioned here, but I stress that this is only the first attempt to choose the best athlete and was compiled primarily on the basis of material published in "Głos Bolesławca".
Perhaps the New Year 1995 will bring greater sporting success, and the list of candidates and achievements will be longer – which is what the athletes and supporters are wished
