The 2019 Panathlon Prize was presented at the closing ceremony of the CSIT World Games held on Saturday, July 6th in Tortosa, Spain!
From the collaboration between CSIT and Panathlon International, Presidents Pierre Zappelli and Bruno Molea have set up a competition for all CSIT members, present in more than 30 countries around the world, to award the Panathlon Prize - CSIT, with the aim of strengthening the roots that unite the two associations: the passion for sport and the promotion of the development of the sporting ideal and its moral and cultural values.
The idea was born to seek, through CSIT Associates, a personality who was particularly distinguished by his own behaviour, and his actions for the affirmation of the ethical values of sport.
Among the many nominations received, the winner of the 1st Edition of the Panathlon Prize - CSIT was OLIN KALEVI, reported by the "Finnish Workers' Sports Federation TUL".
In recognition of his outstanding contribution to the values of sport throughout his life, Olin Kalevi was honoured by President Pierre Zappelli at the CSIT World Games Ceremony.
