The Dolnośląskie Sports Centre #NaPolanie was visited by Julian Gozdowski, who will be one of the featured guests of a TVP3 Wrocław programme about Polana Jakuszycka.
– I like coming here – says the honorary president of the Bieg Piastów. – Because it is a place connected with childhood memories, and at the same time there is reliable snow. It has always been here and probably will be for a long time yet. I encourage everyone to take part in various cross-country skiing races and walks – adds Julian Gazdowski, inviting people to Polana Jakuszycka.
Outstanding athletes such as Kamila Zuk also take up such an invitation. She is currently the highest-ranked Polish competitor in the Biathlon World Cup, an Olympian, a former junior world champion and European champion. The athlete will take advantage of the comfortable training conditions at #NaPolanie and prepare for her next competitions. Konrad Badacz has also joined #TeamPolana; he won the 10 km sprint during an IBU Junior Cup competition in Martell, Italy.
This winter, around a dozen cross-country skiing and biathlon events have already been planned at #NaPolanie, including the Polish Biathlon Cup, the Polish Youth Championships, the international FIS Nordic Combined Youth Cup organised together with Harrachov in the Czech Republic, the FIS Slavic Cup, as well as the Central European Cup and the Polish Senior Biathlon Championships. The best-attended event was the annual Bieg Piastów in March. However, plans already extend to subsequent seasons. In 2024 and 2025, Polana Jakuszycka and the Dolnośląskie Sports Centre are expected to host biathlon events at the level of the European Youth Championships.
