World Indoor Championships Kujawy Pomorze 26: together we’re creating a world championship!
Nearly five hundred volunteers will take part in the most important athletics event in the world, which our region will host in just two months. On Saturday (17 January), a training and integration meeting will be held at the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Arena Toruń. Marshal Piotr Całbecki will participate in the event. The World Indoor Championships Kujawy Pomorze 26 (WIC) will take place on 20-22 March.
“Volunteers are the foundation of every major sporting event,” emphasizes Marshal Piotr Całbecki. “The World Indoor Championships Kujawy Pomorze 26 is the biggest athletics event in the history of our region. We will build its success together – as one big team, in which everyone has their place, responsibility, and a real impact on the final result. I am convinced that together we will create championships that will remain in the memory of participants and fans for a long time, and for the volunteers will become a source of pride and unforgettable experiences.”
Volunteers will undergo, among other things, health and safety (OHS) and first-aid training, meet the team working on organizing the championships, and become familiar with the scope of tasks in individual groups.
During the Marshal’s Charity Ball, a WIC voucher will be auctioned. It includes, among other things, two VIP tickets for a competition session and an honorary role during one of the official medal ceremonies. See: It will be a ball for 250 couples!
Sales of the last batch of tickets for the March event are underway. Ticketing website: www.ebilet.pl
The 100-day countdown to the WIC began with the ringing of the Tuba Dei bell. It was rung by sprinter Marika Popowicz-Drapała, pole vaulter Paweł Wojciechowski, and WIC ambassadors—combined-events athlete Adriana Sułek-Schubert and pole vaulter Piotr Lisek. They were accompanied on the tower of the Cathedral Basilica of St. Johns by long jumper Anna Matuszewicz and high jumpers Mateusz Kołodziejski and Mikołaj Szczęsny.
