judo masters and gymnasts win international victories.
The town's "Nafta-Gaz", "Polonia", "Sokół", "Gwardia" and "Gwda" sports clubs and famous local sportsmen, such as Dobrucki, Nielsen, Rucka,
Niemczyk-Wolska, and Korzeniowski have been very popular in Poland and abroad.
Sports efficiently promote Piła. City authorities headed by Zbigniew Kosmatka, the Mayor of Piła, stress educating its talented
youth and developing its sports facilities. A social committee led by Tadeusz Rzemykowski, a resident of Piła, deputy speaker of the Senate of the Republic of Poland, and a sports activist of long standing has just
initiated construction of a large sports hall. For several years, the deputy speaker was the president of the "Nafta-Gaz" Volleyball Society in Piła, whose players in a period shorter than one year won two Polish
Championship titles, the Polish Cup and fourth place in the European Cup. |
