Soldiers of the 23rd Silesian Artillery Regiment in Bolesławiec:
After the competition in seven events held in 2020 was summarised, the Bolesławiec regiment was ranked second overall in the DGRSZ 1–11 DKPanc universal sports championships.
This is important because it is the best result in the history of the Bolesławiec military unit since it was placed under the command of the “Black Division”. It is also worth emphasising that our artillerymen ranked higher than much larger military units, such as the 17th Mechanised Brigade from Międzyrzecz, the 6th Airborne Brigade from Kraków and the 4th Anti-Aircraft Regiment from Czerwieńsk. (The soldiers from Bolesławiec were ranked only behind the 10th Armoured Cavalry Brigade from Świętoszów, which for years has been the best military unit in sports competition in the Polish Armed Forces.)
Unit:
The second-place finish was mainly achieved thanks to podium results in individual events: first place in basketball, first place in cross-country running, second place in carbine shooting, third place in military pistol shooting and third place in the patrol run.
The soldiers add:
The achievement of such significant success, as well as the effort and hard work invested in attaining it, can be summed up in the words of Vince Lombardi: “The price of success is hard work, dedication, and determination to give your best regardless of whether you are winning or losing at any given moment.”
