It will provide enrichment of sports knowledge and give all of you an opportunity to create unforgettable memories. The date of the competition is ideal for the preparation and observation of form of competitors who will participate at the forthcoming European Senior Championships. I hope that these are good enough reasons for you to participate at our tournament.
