As Iwona Waszkiewicz (Bydgoszcz Vice-president) noticed “We witnessed many successful events organized by KU AZS UKW. We support these championships financially and in the transportation area. We are glad that KU AZS UKW ‘brings’ more of such events to Bydgoszcz.”WhereasMr. Alejandro Guerra emphasized that he is glad that we are now able to return to doing sports in a traditional way after the pandemic break and that now is a great time to start the event’s promotion activities in order to attract as many participants as possible.
Now, the Organizing Committee is working intensively on the implementation of further elements of preparations for the event. Soon there will be a meeting with the newly elected president of the Polish Canoe Federation – Grzegorz Kotowicz.
