The indoor season is finished, let’s go OUTDOORS !
The indoor season is finished,
let's go OUTDOORS !
Dear friend,
The indoor season has delighted us, with this 3-days' fireworks of top top top performances at WIC in Belgrade.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE ATHLETES: IT'S BEEN WONDERFUL !
We love athletics and we love the emotion that brings to all of us. We like all the stories: behind all performance there's a story.
And behind the stories of each, there are also those linked to the shame of a disastrous war that the Ukrainian athletes - who managed to participate - knew how to brave with excellence. Many athletes from all countries, with exemplary solidarity, paid tribute to them by displaying the ♦♦ colors as a sign of solidarity for the peace. ♥♥ That's simply what sport is !
On this first day of spring, we are pleased to remind you of the first meetings of the EAP circuit:
