Panathlon International

In a beautiful typical September day has started the Route6 that this year, to celebrate 70 years of Panathlon International will join Rapallo, which hosts the Headquarters, to Venice, where it was born in 1951.

The event was organized by the area 01 in collaboration with the District Italy of PI.

The cyclists left from the sea promenade of Rapallo, greeted by the Mayor Carlo Bagnasco, by the IB Member Giorgio Chinellato representing PI, by the Secretary General Simona Callo, by the President of District Italy Giorgio Costa, 

Governors Giuseppe Falco (Area 01) and Germano Tabaroni (Area 04) with many other Panathletes.

The participants coming from various Panathlon Clubs, reached Portofino and on the way back they stopped to visit the Headquarters of Panathlon International where they were welcomed and refreshed with the typical Genoese focaccia.

The continuation of the stage brought them to Chiavari and then they ended the day at the Dallara Historical Museum in Fornovo and at the arrival, in the late afternoon, in Crema.

It was really a great emotion to meet so many panathletes who ventured on this route bringing a breath of enthusiasm, friendship and panathletic and sporting spirit. 

Good Route and congratulations to both organizers and participants for the success of this first stage.

Here you can find all the updated news about the route

Panathlon International, the Panathlon Club of Wallonie-Bruxelles, the International Fair Play Committee (CIFP) and the European Fair Play Movement (EFPM) have joined forces to celebrate World Fair Play Day, a sporting initiative designed to promote fair play and ethical values in sport. All sportsmen are invited to highlight fair play initiatives, projects and achievements. 

This date was chosen to commemorate the day in 1963 when Jean Borotra, one of the famous 'four musketeers' of French tennis, met in Paris the figures who would later found the International Fair Play Committee.

Several Panathlon Clubs have also promoted initiatives to commemorate and celebrate this day.

The adhesion to the "Manifesto of Fair Play", to which organisations and institutions can adhere and demonstrate a strong commitment to the promotion of fair play in sport and the willingness to cooperate fully in this sporting and social programme, continues with success.

Happy FAIR PLAY day!!!

SolidarSport: Une récolte de matériel sportif de qualité et le lancement d’une plateforme de dons initiés par le Panathlon Wallonie-Bruxelles pour aider la vie sportive à rebondir suite aux dramatiques intempéries

Les dégâts sont lourds de conséquences… Terrains sportifs dévastés, halls omnisport vidés, salles de fitness et agoraspaces endommagés suite aux inondations.

Tous ces lieux où se pratique le sport, où les parents se rencontrent, où des milliers d’enfants se rendent en stage, ... et qui chaque année participent à la transmission des valeurs positives, éducationnelles et sociétales du sport sont aujourd’hui impraticables.

La solidarité comme l’esprit d’équipe font partie des valeurs défendues par le Panathlon Wallonie-Bruxelles; en tant qu’activiste du Fair-Play, l’association s’engage au quotidien depuis 2003 avec son réseau de villes et communes, d’interfédérales, de fédérations et clubs sportifs membres pour réintégrer ces valeurs dans l’ADN de chaque pratiquant(e).

It is with great sadness that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announces the passing of former IOC President Count Jacques Rogge. He was 79 years old. 

Rogge was the eighth President of the IOC, from 2001 to 2013, after which he became Honorary President.
