Panathlon International

The Absolute Winners of the “1st Photographic Competition Panathlon International Sport and COVID19 – pandemic” have been designated.

The 1st Panathlon International Sport and COVID19 - pandemic Photographic Competition has ended.

The absolute winners respectively in the categories colors and black and white are:

Sofia Cadonna from Trento with the following motivation "in its essentiality, a rhythmic gymnastics ribbon and a surgical mask worn as a slipper, makes us understand that, despite the Covid has caged the world and distorted the way of doing sport, we must always find the strength to go on. One notices a nice taut leg, without giving in, therefore ready for the "battle" and

Cristiano Pugno from Rapallo with the following motivation "for the spontaneity of the coach's gesture but also for the great sadness that emanates with his attitude almost of resignation towards the slavery of the mask and rubber gloves".

They will receive a Smartphone and a diploma certifying their victory. All Panathlon International congratulates the two winners.

Dear friends

it's our sad duty to inform you that Past-Treasurer and International Board Member of PI René Hefti has left us after a long illness.

President of the Club of Chur and Umbgebung from 2004 to 2008  

International Treasurer from 2004 to 2016

International Board Member from 2012  to 2016.

We remember his always polite manners, his humanity, his ability to put himself at the service of others, his competence and friendship.

He loved Panathlon, sport and its values that he put into practice in his private and professional life.  He leaves an indelible void in the life of the Association and in those who had the good fortune to know him.

To the family and to the Club the most heartfelt condolences from the whole panathletic family and the feelings of our closeness and friendship.

Friendship does not stop in front of Covid

Panathlon International chosen as partner in the EPOSM Erasmus+Project

"Evidence-based prevention of match-fixing in sport".

The EPOSM project ("Evidence-based Prevention of Sport-related Match-fixing") launched in 2020, will last two years (2020-2021) and is co-financed by the European Commission in the context of the Erasmus+ Collaborative Partnerships in Sport programme. During this project, eleven high-level European institutions will join forces to: raise awareness on the prevalence of sport-related (i.e. non-betting-related) match-fixing, stimulate moral judgement on sport-related match-fixing, and share and transfer this knowledge. These objectives will be pursued by disseminating and analysing questionnaires on match-fixing in seven European countries, developing country-specific action plans and organising workshops against match-fixing and disseminating these results to as many sports stakeholders as possible.

Panathlon International, through the Panathlon Representation in Brussels, in close contact with the Panathlon Cultural and Scientific Committee, was called upon to collaborate mainly because of its familiarity with the complex sports landscape, its extensive network and the sport-practice competence of its members. In the next issue of the magazine you will find the in-depth analysis.

70 Years of Panathlon  - 1951-2021 

On 12th June this year Panathlon will be 70 years old!

While the preparations of the Club of Venice are in progress to organize a great event for that day, all Clubs are invited to celebrate the Panathlon Day that this year will have an even more significant value as it will be lived in a context, we hope, of rebirth for sport, associationism and the whole world.

In this expectation we thought, hoping to do a pleasant thing, to create a "special" logo that clubs and bodies of Panathlon, will be able to insert on letterhead, e-mail messages, web sites, social media etc..

A small symbol to feel all closer. 

The first part of the Panathlon International Photo Contest 2020 has ended.

The photos taken by Martino Pota member of the Club of Rome, manager of the SS Lazio Bowling (section colours) and the one taken by Lucia Custodi President of the Panathlon Club Orvieto (section black/white) have been the ones that have obtained more likes on our Facebook page, winning the Web Award! 

The photos will be published on the cover of PI Magazine, as stated in the Contest Rules.

Congratulations to Martino Pota and Lucia Custodi and  thank you to the numerous participants for their pics; through the language of the images they have transmitted emotions, worries and new behaviours that this pandemic has forced us to live in sport and in our lives, sometimes also with a pinch of irony!

An international jury will decide the final winners in each category.

The album of all the photos that participated can be seen at
