Sport and Panathlon lose one of their great promoters, Antoine Paccaud
Published in News from Panathlon International
Sport and Panathlon lose one of their great promoters, Antoine Paccaud.
Passionate about panathletic values, he always considered sport as a determining element for youth education and health.
Founding member of the Panathlon Club Yverdon-les-Bains, which he presided, he has held International posts as International Board Member, International Vice-President and Delegate of the Expansion Commission for Europe.
During this mandate, he was responsible for promoting panathletic ideals by contributing to the creation of several clubs in Europe and North Africa.
His action in promoting fair play and ethical behaviour has earned him several awards, including the nomination as honorary President of his club.
Panathlon International shares the grief of his family and Club.

Panathlon Lisbon will be celebrating its 41st birthday online on the 17th
Published in News from Clubs
Panathlon Lisbon will be celebrating its 41st birthday online on the 17th.
Unfortunately, COVID limited physical celebrations with the members but they will receive some gifts (see photo) and they will gather on 17TH on zoom to celebrate the anniversary in this rather different way.
The club communicated also that the "Prémio Panathlon Clube de Lisboa" award will be given to Prof. José Manuel Constantino, who is a long-time friend of Panathlon Lisbon. Prof. Constantino is also the President of the Portuguese Olympic Committee.
Also, the fair-play award "Fair-Play Mário Simas" will be given to David Livramento, that is a cyclist, for his action during a race in which an accident occurred, where he was also involved but he didn't fall of his bicycle. However, one colleague fell down and David stopped his race to help him back on track. This is not the first time that David shows positive sporting behaviours and thus he will receive the Prize.
Finally and for the first time, Panathlon Lisbon created a support program for associations of different etiology that clearly promote the values of sport, namely Fair Play and Ethics in Sport.
Panathlon members will be able to propose entities whose program they understand to comply with the aforementioned values and, among the proposals, the winner annually will be awarded a monetary prize in the amount of 1,500 € (one thousand and five hundred euros).
The designation of “General Rodolfo Begonha Award”, aims to honor in a very simple way the main worker in the creation of the club and whose participation in the activities in the Panathlon movement remain full of vigour and dynamism.
The Panathlon Club of Como doesn't stop.
The 31st Youth Prize awarded to Giulio Campioni, 18 years old, of Canottieri Lario.
The awarding ceremony would have coincided, as per tradition, with the Christmas party of the Club of Como, scheduled for 10 December, but it has been postponed because of the health emergency to the first possible convivial meeting of 2021.
