There are disciplines that, without state aid, could not bring players to a advanced level. Without the support of the Ministry of National Defence, the level would be lower, which is why the Polish Army has always supported and supported athletes – says kmdr Janusz Porzycz, head of the Central Military Sports Team.

We are only hours distant from the beginning of the XXXIII summertime Olympics in Paris. In the 211-man Olympic squad there are 80 representatives of the CGM. So many soldiers have never fought for medals at 1 games.
Kmdr Janusz Porzycz: It looks like a percentage. Three years ago in Tokyo, in the same many representation of Poland, there were 58 soldiers in active service, including 57 from the CGM and 1 – marathoner st. Wier. Adam Nowicki – from the 12th Mechanized Division. statistic after erstwhile games have improved in our favor, as we have been more open to the appointment to CGM besides of players practicing discipline, which are not preferred by the global Military Sports Council. As in another Natian armies, we effort to advance military service through the successes of soldiers-sportsmen, besides in disciplines not associated with the military. Examples include canoeing, rowing and track cycling.
An additional reason for pride is the fact that in six disciplines – judo, archery, 5 modern battles, shooting, triathlons and wrestling – the Olympic squad included only the players of the Central Military Sports Team.
The presidents of any Polish sports unions must have enjoyed beginning to disciplines outside the competitions under the CISM flag. How is the cooperation of CGM with sports centres going?
The unions value cooperation with the Polish Army, which has always supported and supported athletes. There are disciplines that, without state aid, could not bring players to a advanced level. Without the support provided by the Ministry of Defence, the level would be lower. This is confirmed even by Adam Konopka, vice president and honorary president of the board of directors of the Polish Swordfish Union, who said that without the army there would be no success in fencing. For example, representatives of the Polish Sports Shooting Union are of akin opinion. Especially those who represent small media discipline appreciate the aid of the army.
At the erstwhile games in Tokyo, soldiers won 2 gold, 2 silver and 4 bronze medals. More troops will take off in Paris. Will statistic translate into larger prey?
Statistics with statistic and medals with medals. There are evidently more soldiers in the squad than there were 3 years ago, but let's besides remember that not as strong as Tokyo is. representation of athleticsWho did so well in Japan. In my opinion, most Polish candidates for medals are soldiers. I mean here. Aleksandra Mirosław, Wojciech Nowicki is Natalia Kaczmarek. However, it should be remembered that the Polish evidence holder in the 400 m run on the treadmill in Paris will have strong competition. I besides number on rowers, kayakers, track cyclists, boxers and florists. The latter, especially in squad rivalry, have a chance to gain a medal. athletics is governed by its rights and to the end – as long as the ball is in the game, as the classical said – anything can happen. Consider besides surprises, and I am counting on them!
An officer wearing a naval uniform is surely close to sports related to the sea. There are 2 soldiers in the Olympic squad who will fight for medals in sailing. How do you justice their chances?
Both representatives of CWZS in sailing compete in the iQFoil windsurfing class. Szer. Paweł Tarnowski A fewer months ago, he won the title of planet Reserve. He is so included as a candidate for the podium of the games. I number on favorable winds for our player, as well as for his colleague, Maja Dziarnowska. If I'm wearing a jacket, I'll be happy if medals ‘extracted’ from water It'll be as much as possible.
And as a fan, who are you going to cheer for most in front of the TV?
Every typical of Poland, of course soldiers of the Polish Army in particular. I very much like the "king of sport", that is, light athletics and this competition I will surely follow closely. 1 of our representatives – a brave and ambitious young parent – will be watching highly closely. I'm talking about a multi-boss. st. width. Adrianna Suki-Shubert. At the beginning of this year, she gave birth to a son, and despite the short time she had left to prepare, she did not quit and fought bravely to return to her highest form. Unfortunately, she met with a wave of hatred and allegations that her decision to be pregnant deprived herself of a chance to execute well in Paris. She answered specified unfavorable comments eloquent entry on social media. Even if Paris does not accomplish a spectacular result, I firmly believe that this consistent 1 in pursuit of the goal will inactive bring us much joy. To me, he's a function model for an athlete.
