The Games of the XXX Jubilee Summer Olympiad are scheduled to take place in London from 27th July to 12th August. The city will host that unique and full of emotions event for the third time – earlier the Olympiads in 1908 and 1948 were held there. Watch the Olympics and support your favourites! Waiting for that remarkable event, let us remind you of several facts related to Poland and the Olympic Games: • 1924 – Poles officially participated in the VIII Summer Olympic Games in Paris - although our compatriots were the Olympic team members of the Poland's partitioners before; at that time 1914 competitors represented Poland in 25 sports events; • 1928 – Halina Konopacka, a discus thrower, gained the first gold medal in the history of the Polish athletics at the IX Summer Olympic Games in Amsterdam; • 1964 – Irena Szewinska became the first Polish athlete who gained 3 medals during one Olympic event. At the Games of the XVIII Summer Olympics in Tokyo she won the gold medal in the relay race 4 x 100 m, and two silver medals: in the 200 m race and the long jump; • 2000 – Robert Korzeniowski, as the first Polish athlete in our history, gained 2 gold medals during one event. He won the most desirable prize in the 20 km and 50 km race walking at the Games of the XXVII Summer Olympiad in Sydney. Poles gained the most medals (32) at the Olympics in Moscow in 1980. Four times the Polish Olympic teams came back with 7 gold medals: from Tokyo, Munich, Montreal and Atlanta. So far Poles have won the most Olympic medals (22 gold, 17 silver and 13 bronze) in the athletics. To emphasize that special time we have included some information about the Summer Olympics in the catalogue. The journey starts at the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008 and ends at the Olympic Games in Mexico City in 1968. The history of the Olympics that we have written about coincides also with the development of our company, which was founded in 1966. And that is not all...

It began at exactly 8 past 8 p.m. (UTC+8) on the 8th day of the 8th month in the year 2008. In the Chinese culture the digit eight is the symbol of happiness, abundance, money and peace. In Beijing the 302 sets of the medals were won. The total of 11 526 participants from 205 countries competed in 28 sports disciplines. President Hu Jintao announced the official opening of the Games. The Olympic multi-medallist at gymnastics, Li Ning lit the Olympic torch. Beijing was declared the official host of the 2008 Olympic Games on July 13th in 2001 during the IOC session in Moscow. Beijing was selected out of the five cities: Toronto, Paris, Istanbul, and Osaka. These Games had been the first Summer Olympics in Asia since 1988 (the Seoul Olympics). For the first time in the history of the Olympics, five mascots were selected, four of them were the animals, the Chinese culture metaphor: the fish, the giant panda, the Tibetan antelope and the swallow. The fifth was the Olympic flame - a symbol of the traditional Chinese Dragon. Their names were Beibei, Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying and Nini. The first syllables of the mascots' names form the sentence "Beijing Huanying Ni", which means "Welcome to Beijing". All the athletics competitions, the opening and the closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games were held at the Beijing National Stadium, also known as the Bird's Nest. The first national anthem heard at the stadium during the XXIX Olympic Games was the Polish Mazurek Dabrowskiego. It was played while rewarding the gold medallist in shot put - Tomasz Majewski, who won with the result of 21,51 m. The oratorio written by the famous Polish composer, Krzysztof Penderecki, was among the works which the authorities of Beijing ordered for the Olympics. There was also another Polish accent during the Games - Polish hammers were present there, of course with the Polanik logo. In Beijing the total number of 47 athletics events took place: 24 men's and 23 women's. Barbara Madejczyk - javelin throw Why have you chosen the javelin throw? When I started my adventure with athletics, I was not bound to one sports discipline. It turned out that I was doing well in several sports, so my coach said that perhaps I would be the heptathlonist. But at the competitions my results in javelin throw were clearly getting better and better. So, at the age of 15 I became the youth record holder of Poland (45,78 m, with old type javelin). Next year I was appointed to the national junior team and that was how I became a javelin thrower. There is a picture of you, on Wikipedia, wearing a T-Shirt with the Polanik logo, so it means that the Polanik products, especially the javelins, are not alien to you. - Yes. At the beginning I had only the Polanik javelins. My first personal bests and the youth national record of Poland were set with Polanik. And I still use their javelins today. The 7th place at the Olympic Games in Beijing has been your biggest success in your career. How do you remember that event? It’s true that the Olympics in Beijing have been my greatest success. I came to China with the 23rd result in the world and came back being the 7th. It was the sports event that have made the greatest impression on me in terms of sport and organization. China is also a very attractive and exotic country to us, Europeans. I had a wonderful time at the Olympics and I wish everyone to experience that. Interviewed by Artur Wolski Polish Athletics Medals: gold Tomasz Majewski - shot put, silver Igor Janik - javelin throw Did you like Beijing? Have Olympians got time to sightsee places where the Olympics take place? Beijing is a stunning and very powerful city. It is highly developed in terms of technology and motorization. Wherever you go, the streets are crowded with people. Usually participants of the Olympics and other competitions have some time to see at least the most characteristic places for a particular city. A whole event, including travelling both ways, usually takes from 3 to 4 days. Athletes always find couple hours to go sightseeing. It is different when it comes to championships, because the event lasts approximately 2 weeks, which give athletes a chance to see something more. They have time to take some pictures or use a camcorder in order to make memories last longer. Your results in Beijing weren’t particularly good, are you preparing for London now? The Games are coming soon. Yes, in Beijing I didn’t achieve what I wanted mainly because of the bad weather conditions. Also, the technical problems with the athletics equipment were the obstacle I wasn’t able to overcome. The Olympic Games in London are coming up. Almost every day, during every training, I wonder how my start would look like, what things require changes, what I should work out on or make better to achieve success. The four years before the Olympics constitute the cycle in which each next season is some kind of a test before the target event in London. While entering the head office of POLANIK we can see the javelin with your autograph. Is the cooperation with the company satisfying to you? I have been cooperating with POLANIK for several years. I’m glad that I have a chance to compete and train in the colours of the company. Frankly speaking, was it not for Polanik, I wouldn’t have literally any training equipment. It’s hard to believe, but it’s true. Thanks to them, I’m provided not only with the throwing implements but also with other athletics equipment, and it is the world class equipment. I hope that next seasons will turn out to be great for both, me and the company. What makes javelins produced by Polanik so special? In my opinion, the javelins made by Polanik stand out from those manufactured by other international companies because there is a wide range of them, so you are able to choose a right product for your needs. Beginning with typical training javelins with a low level of hardness, then medium hardness javelins and finally competition javelins with very high stiffness. Athletes with various training experience and different levels of motricity and technique can find right javelins for trainings and for competitions.

Those master class javelins have come into being as the result of the two-year work and personal commitment of the company’s founder, Wieslaw Szczepanik. In the production there have been used extremely durable carbon fibres and special kinds of resins which vastly increase the javelins' rigidity. That lessens the vibrations during flight and guarantees farther throws. Thus Polanik company has joined the selective group of the few producers from all over the world who make carbon fibre javelins. The Polanik Full Carbon javelins are the next products added to the Premium Line which came into existence along with creating excellent class Ziolkowski Hammers. Code Description Certificate Currently there are two models included in the range: 600 g and 800 g. Only their shank tails are painted, the rest of the FC11-600 Full Carbon 600 g shank surface shows a spectacular structure of carbon fibre. In the near future different models with various levels of rigidity, diversified colours, javelin cord types and head constructions will supplement the Full Carbon line.

Over 10500 participants from 202 countries competed in 28 different sports disciplines and 301 sets of medals were presented. The Greek President Konstantinos Stefanopulos opened the Games. The Greek windsurfer, the Olympic gold medallist in Atlanta, Nikolaos Kaklamanakis lit the Olympic torch. Athens was declared the official host of the 2004 Olympic Games on September 5th in 1997 defeating Buenos Aires, Cape Town, Rome and Stockholm. Before Athens had lost its opportunity to organize the 1996 Summer Olympics. The capital of Greece hosted the first Summer Olympic Games of the modern era exactly 100 years earlier, so that would have been a great opportunity to celebrate the anniversary. However that privilege was given to Atlanta then. Traditionally the Games had two official mascots: Athena - the goddess of wisdom and Phevos - the god of light and music. The official logo was designed on the pattern of olive branch wreath, that was presented to ancient Olympic champions. Also its colours had their meaning: white and blue complied with the colours of the Greek flag. All the competitions took place on the Olympic Stadium of Athens. Only the shot put event was held in the stadium of Olympia. The marathon was held on the historic route from Marathon to Athens, with the finish line at the Panathinaikos stadium, which hosted the first modern Olympics in 1896. The athletics fans could not complain on the lack of the sports emotions. Kelly Holmes from Great Britain won the competition of 800 m and 1500 m races and became the third athlete in the history who did it. The Ethiopian Kenenis Bekele reached for the gold medal in 10 000 m race and had the chance to become one of the greatest long distance runners, if he had won also 5000 m race. After all he had to acknowledge the Moroccan veteran's victory, the marathon runner, Hichama el Guerrouja who had already won also the 1500 m race and as the second runner in the history became the double gold medallist in both distances. Among Poles the triumph belonged to Robert Korzeniowski, who did not disappoint his fans and won the 50 km race walking. Anna Rogowska perfectly performed winning the bronze medal in the pole vault competition. The hurdles of our company, showing proudly the Polanik logo, were present at the XXVIII Summer Olympic Games. The total number of 46 athletics events was held in Athens: 24 men's and 22 women's.

Some people may become successful at the beginning of their careers, some when their careers are heading to an end. You gained the European Championships medal after 20 years of competing at stadiums all over the world. Do athletes loose hope when they fail being sometimes so close to a victory? 20 years of my career have been full of hard work, sacrifices, triumphs and failures. That has shaped my personality. Now I know my needs and abilities. It is really tough for athletes to keep going in their careers when the first success is something you must wait for. There are athletes who achieve it fast and also those whom time just gets on nerves. Everything is possible, and gaining something requires faith and hard work. I can say that I have withstood the test. You were the 10th in Athens. Is it a satisfying result to you? Oh, it was 7 years ago! Let me think for a second… yes, the girls had pretty far throws. A Russian athlete won, she threw 67 m. I, in the long list of the finalists, eventually ended up at the 10th place. Taking into consideration some organization difficulties I think my performance was "could have been better". In your twenty-year career you have been using various types of discuses. Does that small object change or is still the same? They haven’t lost their parameters but have gained the look. With the passing of time wood has been replaced by plastic, carbon fibre or aluminium. As for me, traditional wooden discuses are rather the equal of new plastic ones. Their weight hasn’t changed so the only thing is how it feels in hand. What is the condition of the Polish athletics in your opinion? Frankly speaking, the level of the Polish athletics is rather average. We have several exceptionally talented athletes but I don't think it’s enough to talk about a high level in that sport. Unfortunately, too few juniors achieve a high level when they become seniors. I believe we should devote more attention to those athletes who have potential and are constantly handling with a difficult financial situation in their clubs. In addition, the climatic conditions in our country aren’t working for our advantage. Winter and low temperatures last during most of the preparatory period. In Poland, only the Olympic Sports Centre in Spala offers comparative conditions to an open-air facility for training long throws in winter. Therefore the best one can do during that period is visiting countries with a warmer climate.

The total of 10 651 participants from 199 countries competed in 28 sports disciplines. In Sydney 300 sets of medals were given to the competitors. The Sydney governor William Dean announced the opening of the Games and the athlete Cathy Freeman lit the Olympic torch. Despite the preceding numerous protests of Aborigines, who wanted to draw the world’s attention to their difficult social situation, the President of the International Olympic Committee Juan Antonio Samaranch triumphantly announced that the XXVII Olympic Games were the greatest in the history, and the record numbers of: participating countries, athletes, sports and competitions were the confirmation of these words. Sydney won the right to host the Games on 24th September in 1993, in Monaco. Sydney defeated Beijing, Berlin, Istanbul and Manchester. The official mascots chosen for the 2000 Summer Olympics were representatives of the Australian fauna: the Platypus named Syd for "Sydney", the Echidna named Millie for "Millennium" and the Kookaburra Olly named for "Olympics". They were designed by Matt Hatton and Jozef Szekeres. The Olympic medals were designed by the Polish sculptor Wojciech Pietranik. All athletics competitions could have been admired at the Stadium Australia - the main Olympic arena , the part of the Sydney Olympic Park. The return to the Antipodes after 44 years from the Games in Melbourne might have been considered fully successful if only the weather had been better. Sydney welcomed the athletes with cool and damp aura, which affected the athletes' results. The star, Marion Jones, who was expected to win five gold medals, won "only" three (100, 200 and 4 x 400), and two bronze medals (long jump and 4 x 100). Marion was bravely supported by her colleague Michael Johnson, who added to his collection two gold medals in the 400 m race and the 4 x 400 m relay race. The rainy weather did not disturb long distance runners from Africa. The Kenyans won gold medals in the 1500 m race - Noah Kiprono and in the 3000 m steeplechase race - Reuben Seroney. Millon Wolde won the 5000 m distance, Haile Gebrselassie took the first place in the 10000 m race and Gezhange Aber won the marathon - all the representatives of Ethiopia. All Australians enjoyed the Cathy Freeman's victory, who won the 400m race. The Aborigine, who was the 2nd in Atlanta and felt dispirited, was the best in front of her own audience. Jan Zelezny and Steve Backley fought a very thrilling duel in the javelin throw. Finally the Czech was 32 cm better than his rival and beat him throwing 90,17 m. The Polish team performed very well. Robert Korzeniowski preparing to the 50 km race walking started in the 20 km race just for a "warm up" and ... he won. And then he reached for his second gold medal in the 50 km race. Two of our hammer throwers, 18-year-old Kamila Skolimowska and Szymon Ziolkowski also did their best. Kamila as the only one exceeded the distance of 70 m (71,16) and Szymon 80 m (80,04), that was enough to gain two gold medals. During the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, for the first time the women’s pole vault and hammer throw competitions occurred. In Sydney there were held 46 events in athletics: 24 men's and 22 women's. Szymon Ziolkowski - hammer throw - What more could Szymon Ziolkowski ask for? You have won the most titles of all Polish athletes and have gained a lot of medals, including the most valuable one the gold Olympic medal. You can consider yourself as a fulfilled athlete. But a real fighter always set himself new targets. What is Szymon Ziolkowski aiming for now? - First I must disagree with you, because I’m sure that in Poland there are at least several athletes that have won more titles than I have, and who are a way better than me. But I haven’t stopped trying! And about setting myself a target, there is always something you can aim for. It’s just the way it is with athletes! In my collection I haven’t got the European Champion medal yet - it would be better if it were gold, of course. And the competition for the name of the best on The Old Continent takes place in Helsinki in 2012. - You are the most titled athlete among those who still take part in competitions. And we wish you further successes, including the next Olympic medal. But to add another gold to your collection you need good equipment. Ziolkowski Hammer is a line of products made by Polanik. Why have you decided to cooperate with that widely-known Polish producer of athletics equipment? There were many reasons why we have decided on that innovative concept. The Polanik company has been making world-top-standard products for many years. In my sports discipline, I have seen their equipment in various places all over the world, so an opportunity has emerged to link the popularity with promotion and creating a line of hammers signed by me. The line was eagerly accepted by my colleagues. - When did you use a hammer made by them for the first time? - It was at the National Junior Championships that were held in Kielce, 1992. I have been using their equipment ever since, including the Olympic Games in Sydney. It was a great privilege for me when, this year Ziolkowski Hammer line has been used during the World Championships in Daegu. - Sydney must have been a double lack for you, hasn’t it? Kamila Skolimowska and Szymon Ziolkowski were the two Polish sensations on the Games. I guess no one expected it, including you and Kamila. - Definitely yes, it was a huge surprise! Two Poles have won gold. It was phenomenal especially in case of Kamila because she wasn’t even 18 that time. Regrettably, Kamila is not among us any more, but Anita Wlodarczyk has been continuing what Kamila started.

The total of 10 318 competitors from 197 countries competed in 26 sports disciplines and 318 sets of medals were given to the participants.The President of USA Bill Clinton announced the opening of the Games and the Olympic torch was lit by the boxer Muhammad Ali. Atlanta was declared the official host of the 1996 Olympic Games on September 18th in 1990 during the IOC session in Tokyo. Atlanta was selected from six cities, it defeated Belgrade, Manchester, Melbourne, Toronto and "the biggest looser" Athens, which wanted to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first modern era Olympics held in Greece in 1896. The mascot for the Olympics was named Izzy - the first mascot designed by the computer. The name of the abstract fantasy object came from question: "What is it?", because nobody actually knew what or who was Izzy. The events of the Games were held at various arenas, including the Centennial Olympic Stadium, which was the place where the bomb exploded on July 27th. There were 2 people killed and 112 injured. Although the Olympics were marred by the terrorist bombing, the Olympic spirit was not broken and the Games were continued. The athletes became the heroes of the Games, especially sprinters. The American Donovan Bailey won the men's 100 m with the great time of 9,84 s. Michael Johnson was even more popular, because he was the first in three events: in 200 m, 400 m and relay 4 x 400 m. Moreover he established the 200 m new world record: 19,32 s. The Frenchwoman Marie Jose Perec turned to be the Johnson's female counterpart. The gold medallist in the 400 m race in Barcelona won the 200 m and 400 m races. There were 44 athletics events in the Olympics: 24 men's and 20 women's. Poles did not take part in the shot put competition.

It was the first Olympiad in Spain. There were teams from 169 national Olympic committees. The total number of 9367 participants competed in the 257 events of the 25 sports disciplines. His Majesty King Juan Carlos I announced the opening of the Games and the Olympic torch was lit by the archer Antonio Rebollo. During the 91st IOC Session, which was held in Lausanne on October 17th in 1986, Barcelona was selected among Amsterdam, Belgrade, Birmingham, Brisbane and Paris. The main arena of the Games was the stadium located on the Montjuic Hill. The dog called Cobi was the official mascot of the Olympics. It was designed by the Spanish designer Javier Mariscal. The athletes achieved many successes: the American jumper Carl Lewis for the third time proved to be the best in the long jump. The British sprinter Lindford Christie won the 100 m race with the result of 9,96 s. The Algerian runner Hassiba Boulmerk won the 1500 m event and caused the same great euphoria in her country as 8 years earlier Nawal El Moutawakel did in Morocco after her Olympic success. The African runners were mainly predicted to win medium and long distance races, but there were some Europeans who changed their plans. The German Dieter Baumann unexpectedly won the 5000 m race, and the Spanish athlete Fermin 'Cacho' Ruiz took the first place in the 1500 m race with a dynamic finish. The beautiful accent ended the women’s 10000 m race. The Ethiopian Deratu Tulu overtook Elena Meyer from South Africa. After the race Meyer heartily congratulated the winner. The Polish national athletics team brought back only one medal from Barcelona. Artur Partyka won the bronze medal in the high jump event. There were 43 athletics events: 24 men's and 19 women's.

Although the 7th place at the Olympic Games was an amazing result, you didn’t gain any medal. Has the marathon been your deliberate choice or, as it usually happens among athletes, a random one? - It has been both, deliberate and random. In June, 1988, I participated in a road race that was held in Darmstadt, Germany. The distance was 6800 m and I competed with the group of quite good runners from Kenya, Ethiopia and Germany. I ended up the 2nd and I got the reward of 1500 DM. The manager who was organizing the marathon in Duisburg noticed me and offered the participation in that race. I was supposed to be paid 500 DM just for taking part in it. After a short consideration, I decided to accept his offer. I started in the race and won, additionally earning a good deal of money. That was when I decided that the marathon would be my main sports discipline. - The athlete from Piotrkow Piotr Stepien also took part in the Games in Barcelona and he gained the only Olympic medal (silver) in the history of the city. Did you get on well with other sportswomen and sportsmen in the Olympic village? Are Olympians really - as it is often said - like one big family or are they more focused on themselves and their own success? - In every Olympic village there are missions where all competitors meet. We were indeed one big family, we supported each other and were excited about performances of athletes, boxers, wrestlers or pentathlonists. Everyday representatives of different sports met each other. - The boom in running has been for some time in Poland. People at different ages have started to participate in mass 10 km races, half marathons or even marathons. It has become something like a way of living. You must be happy about it. - There is only one thing that bothers me: unfortunately that new tendency is not so popular among the youth. However I’m glad that pensioners, including retired athletes, are going in for the recreational running and those retired runners, who believe that it is actually a great way of living, instil the idea into others.

In the Games 159 nations were represented by 8465 participants, who competed in 237 events of 23 sports disciplines. The President of South Korea Roe Tae Woo officially opened the Games and the Olympic torch was lit by the athletes: Chung Sun-man, Kim Won-tak and Sohn Michung. Seoul was chosen to host the Summer Games on September 30th in 1981 in Baden-Baden. It defeated the Japanese rival, the City of Nagoya. The official mascot for the 1988 Summer Olympic Games was Hodori. It was a stylized tiger designed by Kim Hyun, expressing the friendly and hospitable traditions of the Korean people. The name Hodori was chosen from over 2000 suggestions sent in by the public. The first part of the name "ho" was taken from the Korean word for "horangi", which means "tiger", and the second part "dori" is a diminutive for "boys" in Korean. The female version of the mascot was called Hosuni. The stadium which was designed by Kim Swoo Geun hosted the athletics events. The lines of the stadium's profile imitate the elegant curves of a Korean Joseon Dynasty porcelain vase. The main athletics hero unfortunately became… an antihero. The Canadian Ben Johnson won the 100 m race with the new world record (9,79 s), but he was disqualified after he tested positive for forbidden doping. The gold medal went to Carl Lewis. Sergiej Bubka won his only gold Olympic medal in the pole vault event. The best pole vaulter ever, who established 35 world records (including 18 indoor records) for 14 years, did not have luck in the Games until Seoul. There were 42 athletics events: 24 men's and 18 women's.

And later you went in for a different sports discipline: athletics. Why? - Our gymnastics coach’s husband was Jerzy Fidusiewicz, athletics instructor. I was 17 and didn’t want to end my career so soon, so I listened to him and went in for … high jump. By accident I went to Germany to take part in the high jump competition. It turned out that there was not a high jump event but only a long jump event. I took part. The following year I spent contesting in both athletics events, it was the long jump event which I turned out to be better at, and it remained like that. - For many years the long jump had been attracting attention during athletics competitions because of fantastic results of such athletes as: Bob Beamon in Mexico in 1968 or Mike Powell and Carl Lewis in 1991. There were great results among women, too, in 80’s or 90’s. Since 1988 no woman has broken the world record. Your national record from 1988 (6,97) hasn’t been broken, too. Today, you would be among the world leaders in that event. Why are we dealing with such a stagnation in long jump now? - I don’t want it to sound unfair, but it was not until 90’s that someone took care of doping among athletes. Of course, results could be easily discredited, but there were few cases when athletes were taken away of their medals because of drugs. In 80’s or 90’s, 7 m in the long jump was nothing special, today it is just the other way around. At the Olympic Games in Atlanta I made 3 attempts, over 7 m each, but all of them were said to be invalid. If they had validated one of my jumps, and in my opinion they should have, I would have gained a medal. But I ended up being 6th in rank. I’m not saying that it is impossible to jump well today, but to jump on a record level one needs to depend on a lot of factors such as perfect weather and perfect form. - You were 7th in Seoul and you also participated in Moscow, Barcelona and Atlanta. How do you remember the Olympic Games, in general? - They were fantastic! After all, it was a time of my youth. Certainly, all the Olympics were different, they have been evolving. Now, there are more Olympic sports and the Olympic movement is constantly flourishing. As for me, the reason why those events are so wonderful is that all the athletes are gathered together in the Olympic village. I think that in spite of the commercialization, the movement hasn’t lost its values and the IOC takes care of the perfect organization and prestige of the Olympic Games.

It was the second Olympic event organized in Los Angeles. There were 6797 participants from 140 countries. There were 221 sports events of 21 sports disciplines. The opening of the Games was announced by the President of the USA Ronald Reagan and the Olympic torch was lit by the athlete Rafer Johnson. In response to the American-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, the Soviet Union boycotted the Games. It was followed by: Bulgaria, the GDR, Vietnam, Mongolia, Czechoslovakia, Laos and Afghanistan. The athletes from other communistic countries, such as: Poland, Cuba, Ethiopia, North Korea and Hungary, were made to do similarly. All those countries organized their own series of the athletics competition which were called "Friendship Games-84". Poles did not compete in the Olympic Games in Los Angeles because of the boycott, but they took part in the alternative competition Friendships Games - 84. The events took place in 9 countries of the Eastern block: USSR, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, North Korea, Cuba, Mongolia, the GDR, Hungary and Poland. The dates of the events were specially selected and they were not in conflict with the dates of the Olympic Games. Thus sportsman and sportswomen from the countries which did not boycott the Games in Los Angeles could take part in the Friendship Games - 84 as well. Overall the competition was attended by 2300 participants from 50 countries. The opening ceremony took place at Moscow's Luzhniki stadium, as it was during the Olympic Games in 1980. The tournament of men’s athletics was held in ZSRR, women competed in Czechoslovakia. Only Los Angeles and New York were interested in organizing the event. Due to the fact that only one city from the country may apply for the organization of the Games, the United States Olympic Committee chose Los Angeles. The mascot was Sam, the Olympic Eagle designed by Walt Disney. The Eagle wore the outfit of the legendary American Uncle Sam, with a star-spangled background in red, white and blue, which is the symbol of the United States. The main arena of the Games was the stadium Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, it was also used during the Games in 1932. The greatest personality of the Los Angeles Olympics was the American Carl Lewis. In a very impressive style he won four gold medals in the events: 100 m, 200 m, 4 x 100 m and long jump. All the four victories, counting heats, finals, and jumps took him ... 146 seconds. Lewis repeated the legendary Jesse Owens’ achievement of 1936 after almost fifty years. For some time the stadium was renamed to "Lewiseum" by reporters. The Moroccan runner Nawal El Moutawakel took the first place in the 400 m hurdles and she became the first African Muslim woman who won the gold Olympic medal and it was also the first medal for her country. Sports fans also remember the famous battle between two decathletes the German Juergen Hingsen and the British Daley Thompson. Thompson won and repeated his success from Moscow. Ulrike Meyfarth triumphed in the high jump competition. In 1972 the German athlete as a 16-year-old girl won the high jump event in Munich and was the youngest gold medallist. In Los Angeles she was the oldest winner. The unusual episode took place at the final stage of the marathon. The Swiss athlete Gabriele Andersen – Scheiss fainted 400 m before the finish line. When the doctors checked that she was breathing, they let her continue the race, because they wanted to avoid the disqualification. Although it took the 39-year-old athlete 5,44 minutes to run the rest of the distance, she reached the finish line. The "record holder" of the Olympic Games was also the chairman of the organizing committee, Peter Ueberroth. The businessman made private companies finance entirely the Olympics and he made the Games generate the profit of $ 223 million. To achieve that he used unusual solutions, for example the Olympic swimming pool built at the cost of $ 4 million was financed by ... Mc Donald's. There were 41 athletics events: 24 men's and 17 women's. The level of the competition was high, and the results obtained in some sports disciplines were better than those in Los Angeles. In the 28 events of the 41 athletics competitions the athletes obtained higher scores, for example Marlies Gohr in the 100 m event and Uwe Hohn in the javelin throw. During the competition the athletes improved many world records. In 2006 it was proposed that the medallists of the "Friendship Games - 84" should have the same rights as the Olympic medallists had. In 2007 on February 19th the President of the Republic of Poland Lech Kaczynski signed the law which granted them the Olympic privileges.

There were 203 sports events. The participants from 81 countries, all together 5283 representatives, competed in 21 sports disciplines. The General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev announced the opening of the Games and the Olympic torch was lit by the basketball player Sergei Belov. The only two cities applied for the Olympics: Moscow and Los Angeles. Moscow was chosen on 23rd October in 1974 in Vienna. The mascot was Misha, the Russian bear. He was designed by the famous children's books illustrator Victor Chizhikov. Misha became very popular not only in the USSR but also on the international arena. The Games were held at the Luzhniki stadium in Moscow. The pole vault competition engraved strongly in the spectators’ memory for a long time. The organizers and supporters who were present at the Luzhniki stadium wanted Konstantin Volkov to win the event. That was why the stadium gates were opened and closed to change the direction of the wind and the audience responded with whistles when the Volkov’s rivals were jumping. Immediately after Kozakiewicz secured his gold medal, he responded with an bent elbow gesture. Since then that gesture has been referred to as "Kozakiewicz's gesture". Slusarski and Volkov took the second place. The medium distance favorites were the British. Steve Ovett seemed to be a candidate to the victory in the 1500 m race and Sebastian Coe in the 800 m event. In practice Ovett won the 800 m and Coe was the first in the 1500 m. Waldemar Cierpinski from the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) won his second consecutive Olympic gold medal in the marathon. In the high jump competition the little-known Gerd Wessig fought a very exciting duel for the Olympic championship with Jacek Wszola. Finally the German athlete won the competition with the Polish jumper by 1 cm with the result of 2,36 m, which was the new world record at that time. Bronislaw Malinowski proofed to be the highest class athlete in the 3000 m steeplechase. His main rival Filibert Bayi from Tanzania was 80 m ahead before him in the middle of the race. Malinowski kept calm and did not change his own pace. Eventually he overtook his rival from Tanzania and won the race with the great result 8:09,7. There were 38 athletics events: 24 men’s and 14 women’s.

Why? - They wanted me to become the Olympic champion in long jump too soon. When I trained long jump, I also ran fast 100 m, so the transition from long jump to sprints was natural. - If you are a son of the national champion, do you have to follow his footsteps? Was the athlete gene strong enough to make you go in for sports or was it your own conscious decision? - Since my childhood I have had athletics predispositions. I come from Torun so I used to be a keen hockey player, but for some reasons I ended up as an athlete, which I suppose was a good decision. - How do you remember the Olympic Games in Moscow? The period between 1980 and 1984 was a time of making the Olympics more and more bound to the politics. Did it influence the atmosphere in the stadium, the Olympic village or on the track? - For us it was funny and scary at the same time. Although the case of the politics in the Olympics was something you could have read or heard about, but for us it was not so discernible in the atmosphere of the Olympics as one could expect. However, it was quite an experience, especially for me because it was my first participation in the Olympics. - In Moscow, Poland gained 32 medals, including 7 in athletics. Wladyslaw Kozakiewicz, a pole vaulter, gained one of the two gold medals. He broke the world record and made the famous gesture in front of the soviet spectators. Is it true that there were heard instant whistles from the audience while non-natives, including Polish athletes, were on the start? - They were unsupportive for everybody, not only for Poles but also for the French, for instance. Generally speaking, for every non-native athlete. But we had our quiet revenge when we gathered in a small group and were whistling during the Russian performances. As for Kozakiewicz, the political impact on the Olympic Games was visible also later, because the pole vault victory ceremony of the medallists was postponed to the next day. - You, Zwolinski, Licznerski and Woronin formed a great team together at that time. You gained many medals. The relay race is based on cooperation among the team members. Even though there is a leader, all the members have to be unbelievably mentally strong. Every detail counts. Today athletes can talk to psychologists, while earlier you were totally on your own. How was it working out for you? - We supported each other very strongly. There was no yelling at each other when something didn’t go according to the plan. But when it came to the most important events, things did work out good for us. The reason was that we used to spent much time together and also because we were training separately, with different coaches. That added a little bit of competition to our relations. Above all we realized that we could have achieved more as a relay team than separately. - Few years later Poland used to have another great relay team, "Lisowczycy" as they were called from their coach's name, to which a sprinter Piotr Rysiukiewicz belonged, who is associated with POLANIK today. What can be done so that we could have more such successful runners as Dunecki, Woronin or Rysiukiewicz? - First of all the choices of candidates need to be more well-thought, based on selection rather than coincident. There has to be chosen a pretty big group of people, from which each year someone is turned down until there are 5-6 potential athletes left. Our success was a result of being in the same team for a very long time.

There were 6028 participants from 92 nations. They competed in 198 events of 21 sports disciplines. The Queen Elizabeth II announced the opening of the Games and the Olympic torch was lit by the athletes Sandra Henderson and Stephane Prefontaine. Montreal was chosen to host the Games on May 12th in 1970 in Amsterdam. It defeated Moscow and Los Angeles The Olympic Stadium was built especially for the Games in one of the Montreal’s districts. The mascot of the Games in Montreal was a beaver called Amik. The name was taken from the most popular language amongst the American Indians in Canada. "Amik" means a beaver and is the symbol of hard work. In the triple jump competition Viktor Saneyev won his third victory. The Cuban athlete Alberto Juantorena became the first runner who won 400 m and 800 m at the Olympics. The Finnish runner Lasse Viren won 5000 m and 10000 m. The Hungarian Miklos Nemeth won the javelin throw competition. His father Imre Nemeth was the winner in the same event during the London Olympic Games in 1948. It was the first time when the gold medallist's son repeated his father success. Irena Szewinska won her seventh medal and established the new world record in the 400 m event. The high jumper Jacek Wszola and the pole vaulter Tadeusz Slusarski enjoyed their gold Olympic medals and their victories were celebrated in Poland. There were 37 athletics events: 23 men's and 14 women's. Athletics Gold Medallists Grazyna Rabsztyn - 100 m hurdles - T h e w o r l d r e c o r d h o l d e r, the current Polish record holder, one of the best athletes in the history, the multi-medallist at the European Championships... Although in June 1980, a few weeks before the Olympics, you broke the world record, you did not manage to win a medal in Moscow. How come? - There were many reasons. During the Olympic Games in Montreal in 1976, I was languishing with tonsillitis and in Moscow, in 1980, I wasn’t prepared properly. Few weeks before I set the new world record with the result of 12,36 but after that, for several weeks I was recovering from an injury. I have had the trauma up till now. It was not caused by my participation in Moscow, but the reason was the last sports camp. I have to admit, with a bit of embarrassment, that it wasn’t organized professionally. There were no masseurs , no medical advice, and additionally the food was awful. I truly regret that I didn’t have enough strength and energy to fight for better conditions there. So, my 5th place in the Moscow final I consider rather as a success, especially because I was thinking about resigning from taking part in it. However, despite the fact that I didn’t gain any Olympic medal I feel satisfied with all that I have achieved in athletics. - Polanik hurdles can be seen very often at top level athletics events all over the world. There is also a wide range of other Polanik products, which are used by the best. In your opinion, what is the main factor that has brought the company from a small town like Piotrkow to such a success on the market? - Persistence and determination are crucial, for sure. When at the international championships I saw the logo of POLANIK on the equipment, I felt proud. It’s great that it is the Polish company that makes such high-quality products. - How would you assess quality changes in the equipment that have been taking place during the last 30 - 40 years? For instance, Polanik hurdles, which could have been noticed at the high level competitions in 1997? - In my day, hurdles were not friendly to the athletes. Contacts with hurdles during races were quite unpleasant and many times they ended with bruises or more serious injuries. The hurdles that are used today, especially those from Polanik, are aesthetic, made of good materials and easy to use. event women men 100 m Annegret Richter 11,08 s Hasley Crawford 10,06 s 200 m Barbel Eckert 22,37 s Don Quarrie 20,23 s 400 m Irena Szewinska 49,28 s Alberto Juantorena 44,26 s 800 m Tatyana Kazankina 1:54,94 Alberto Juantorena 1:43,50 s 1 500 m Tatyana Kazankina 4:05,48 John Walker 3:39,17 5 000 m - Lasse Viren 13:26,42 10 000 m - Lasse Viren 00:27:40 100 / 110 H.

There were 7123 participants from 121 countries. They competed in 195 events of 21 sports disciplines. The President of the West Germany Gustaw Heinemann announced the opening of the Games. The Olympic torch was lit by the athlete Guenter Zan. Munich was chosen to host the Olympics on April 26th in 1966 in Rome. It defeated Detroit, Madrid and Montreal. The Munich Games stayed in the memory as the place of the terrorist attack. The group of the Palestinian terrorists attacked the Olympic village and took the Israeli athletes hostage. As the result of that aggression and the inefficient police action to save the hostages, the people were killed: 11 Israelis, a German police officer, a German pilot and 5 terrorists. For a few hours it seemed that the Olympics would be discontinued, and only the Avery Brundage's famous words: "The Games must go on" dispelled the fears. Waldi was the first official Olympic mascot. He was a dachshund, in the colours: blue, orange and green. The main arena of the Games was the Olympic Stadium in Munich, located in the central part of the Olympic Park. There were 38 athletics events: 24 men's and 14 women's.

How do you recall that period? - Although it was so long ago, the memories are very nice. Once my physical education teacher, who was also my form mistress, took me and my friends to the stadium. It was first year of the secondary school, I was 14. She tested our abilities and I turned out to be the best, so they offered me training in Concordia. There were only enthusiasts in that club, including coaches: Niedzielski and Laskowski. And that way my adventure with athletics begun. - Nowadays, in Piotrkow, only POLANIK represents athletics on a high level. There are no athletes who would follow in your footsteps. What could be done in order to take advantage of the great potential like the internationally known company? What can we do to admire achievements of local athletes again? - A problem with intake exists everywhere. Today, young people very often go in for football rather than athletics. There is a need for someone who will take care of candidates, who will create a group. On the other hand, if people really want to train, they will manage without help. I think that if an interesting idea or a proposition emerges, POLANIK company will offer their help and the condition of the athletics in Piotrkow will get better. - When thinking about the Olympic Games in Munich people have in mind mainly two things: 7 gold medals gained by the Polish participants, including athletics, and the tragic events associated with the attack of the Palestinian terrorists. How do you remember the Olympics? Is it the time of great emotions, and good results or the tragedy of the terrorist attack that engraved in your mind? - The time before the Olympics was pretty tough for me because of my Achilles tendon injury. Secondly there was a strong competition in the country. There were 4 candidates for the Olympics in Munich, and only 3 of them could qualify. Fortunately I became one of them and I was happy for that. Although I turned out to be the best among the Polish participants, I didn’t win any medal. I was 5th, but it was a great time of the GDR athletes. I wasn’t satisfied then, because I wished for some medals, but today after all these years, when I look at it from different perspective, I appreciate what I achieved. And about the terrorist attack - I think it cast a shadow over the Olympic Games. The joyful atmosphere changed immediately after the attack. I found out about the tragic event at noon, a day after it had happened. The attack had taken place before I entered the event. That was why I was watching TV very nervously and I was waiting for the official decision of carrying on the Olympics. I know that it may sound a bit egoistic now, but my first thought at that particular moment, was that If I hadn’t had the chance to take part in the Olympics, it would have been very hard for me. - Frank Shorter 02:12:19,8 20 km walk - Peter Frenkel 01:26:42,4 50 km walk - Bernd Kannenberg 03:56:11,6 long jump Heisle Rosendahl 6,78 m Randy Williams 8,24 m triple jump - Viktor Saneyev 17,35 m high jump Ulrike Meyfarth 1,92 m Juri Tarmak 2,23 m pole vault - Wolfgang Nordwig 5,50 m Athletics Medals Table shot put Nadezhda Chizhova 21,03 m Wladysław Komar 21,18 m rank country discus throw Faina Melnik 66,62 m Ludvik Danek 64,40 m 1 USRR 9 7 1 17 javelin throw Ruth Fuchs 63,88 m Klaus Wolfermann 90,48 m 2 East Germany 8 7 5 20 hammer throw - Anatoli Bondarchuk 75,50 m 3 USA 6 8 8 22 pentathlon/decathlon Mary Peters 4801 pt Nikolai Avilov 8454 pt 8 POLAND 1 0 2 3 Polish Athletics Medals: gold Wladyslaw Komar - shot put, bronze Interviewed by Artur Wolski total Ryszard Katus - decathlon, Irena Szewinska - 200 m Polanik Athletics Collection SubtleSystem® - 50% of bioactive „ions of silver” and 50% of polyamide.

49 Mexico City 1968 The Games of the XIX Olympiad took place in Mexico City, from October 12th to October 27th in 1968. There were 5530 participants from 122 countries. They competed in 172 events of 18 sports disciplines. The Mexican President Gustavo Diaz Ordaz announced the opening of the Games. The athlete Norma Enriqueta Basilio de Sotelo lit the Olympic torch. On October 18th in 1963 in Baden-Baden Mexico City was selected to host the Olympics. It defeated Detroit, Buenos Aires and Lyon. The stadium Estadio Olímpico Universitario was the arena of the athletics competition. The altitude and its synthetic track surface were two main factors which could influence the results, so they were important to the athletics teams. The rarefied air of Mexico City situated at the altitude of 2300 m above the sea level contained 30% less oxygen than the air in lowlands, but that also meant less resistance for competitors. In addition it was the first time when synthetic surface was used on the tracks and runways of the Olympic stadium. It had a significant influence on the reached results. A lot of records were improved during the Games: Lee Evans won the 400 m with the result of 43,8 s, the American relay team 4 x 400 reached 2:56,1 and Tom "Jet" Smith won the 200 m in 19,83 s. Tom "Jet" Smith and another American athlete John Carlos went down in history, because during the victory ceremony they raised their black-gloved fists as a protest against the discrimination of the African Americans. They were disqualified for that gesture. The 23-year-old American Bob Beamon made an improbable feat: in the long jump competition he reached 8,90 m. Beamon improved the long jump record, which had been improved by only 22 cm during 33 years, in one jump by 55 cm. The result remained at the top of the tables for 23 years and in 1991 Mike Powell jumped only 5 cm more. Richard Fosbury presented the totally new jumping technique in the high jump competition. The Californian jumped over the crossbar with his back down, it was called "Fosbury flop". He won with the result of 2,24 m. The discus thrower Al Oerter took part in the Games for the fourth time and won his fourth gold Olympic medal. The Oerter's great achievement, apart from the representatives of the USA, has not been repeated by any athlete. Jim Hines became the first sprinter who officially broke the barrier of 10 seconds in the 100 m event. There were 36 athletics events: 24 men's and 12 women's. Athletics Gold Medallists Urszula Szubzda - 4 x 100 m - 1968, Mexico City, was a year of phenomenal results achieved by some athletes, especially in case of Beamon who reached 8,90 in long jump. How do you remember the Olympics? Not only in sports aspect. - It was an amazing experience. Mexico is not only a far-flung corner of the world for us but also it is a very colourful and fabulous country. Coming there was a big shock at that time. - How were Mexicans treating the athletes? They were treating us, and also people of other nationalities, as one big family. When we got there they gave us a very warm welcome. They were singing everywhere, in the city centre or in the Olympic village, they even greeted us with songs. Generally speaking, Mexicans appeared to me as very friendly people. And the Olympics were indeed very special: we had the Beaomn’s record and, additionally, it was the first time when Dick Fosbury used the totally new technique in high jump which later was called "Fosbury flop". - You achieved more in Munich than in Mexico City, you got into the finals. Was it the biggest success in your international career? - Certainly, it was a huge success getting into those finals. Although I achieved a lot in Poland, for instance a medal in rely race at the Universidad, the Olympic finals was my greatest achievement. - How did you feel about the Olympics in Munich after those in Mexico City? The differences between them were enormous mainly because of the culture gap. In Munich everything was organized, while in Mexico City it was fabulous - people didn’t want to pretend and make every effort to show themselves to their best advantage. They didn’t bother about time, they were often late. They didn’t rush but they always had smiles on their faces. - 10,93 is the unchallenged national record set by Ewa Kasprzyk in 1988. Your best result, got years before, was 11,4 (manual measurement). Why, nowadays, female runners are slower? And will the phenomenal record made by Griffith-Joyner (10,49) be eventually broken soon? - I suppose that it won’t happen soon and I have no idea why the results aren’t getting better. Perhaps because in comparison with earlier times, there are few good female sprinters today. But let’s hope that the era of bad luck will be over and we will be able to admire a competition on a masterly level, very soon. event women men 100 m Wyomnia Tyus 11,0 s Jim Hines 9,95 s 200 m Irena Szewinska 22,5 s Tommie Smith 19,83 s 400 m Colette Besson 52,0 s Lee Evans 43,86 s Athletics Gold Medallists 800 m Madeline Mauning 2:00,9 Ralpf Doubell 1:44,40 s high jump Miloslava Rezkova 1,82 m Dick Fosbury 2,24 m 1 500 m - Kipchoge Keino 3:34,91 pole vault - Bob Seagren 5,40 m 5 000 m - Mohammed Gammoudi 14:05,01 shot put Margitta Gummel 19,61 m Randy Matson 20,54 m 10 000 m - Naftali Temu 29:27,40 discus throw Lia Manoliu 58,28 m Al Oerter 64,78 m 100 / 110 H.

The Games of the XXX Jubilee Summer Olympiad are scheduled to take place in London from 27th July to 12th August. The city will host that unique and full of emotions event for the third time – earlier the Olympiads in 1908 and 1948 were held there. Watch the Olympics and support your favourites! Waiting for that remarkable event, let us remind you of several facts related to Poland and the Olympic Games: • 1924 – Poles officially participated in the VIII Summer Olympic Games in Paris - although our compatriots were the Olympic team members of the Poland's partitioners before; at that time 1914 competitors represented Poland in 25 sports events; • 1928 – Halina Konopacka, a discus thrower, gained the first gold medal in the history of the Polish athletics at the IX Summer Olympic Games in Amsterdam; • 1964 – Irena Szewinska became the first Polish athlete who gained 3 medals during one Olympic event. At the Games of the XVIII Summer Olympics in Tokyo she won the gold medal in the relay race 4 x 100 m, and two silver medals: in the 200 m race and the long jump; • 2000 – Robert Korzeniowski, as the first Polish athlete in our history, gained 2 gold medals during one event. He won the most desirable prize in the 20 km and 50 km race walking at the Games of the XXVII Summer Olympiad in Sydney. Poles gained the most medals (32) at the Olympics in Moscow in 1980. Four times the Polish Olympic teams came back with 7 gold medals: from Tokyo, Munich, Montreal and Atlanta. So far Poles have won the most Olympic medals (22 gold, 17 silver and 13 bronze) in the athletics. To emphasize that special time we have included some information about the Summer Olympics in the catalogue. The journey starts at the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008 and ends at the Olympic Games in Mexico City in 1968.
