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.
