Panathlon International

Panathlon Club of Lisbon is officially part of the Portuguese UNESCO family and recognized as a Club to “Promote Values of Sport”.

The Memorandum was signed last Thursday, in Lisbon, and thus Panathlon Club of Lisbon will now be able to organize initiatives and apply UNESCO brand.

We will also get into the UNESCO network of associations, which are already part of it. This is a great move and opportunity and we look forward to see other Panathlon Clubs joining us in this.

Panathlon Club of Lisbon President, Mr. Mario Almeida, was invited by the Portuguese Speaking Olympic Committes (ACOLOP), mainly by its President, IOC Member Filomena Fortes, to participate in the General Assembly of ACOLOP and to present the Ética Summit Congress, which hosted its 3rd edition and had more than 4000 registrations from all Portuguese speaking countries in the world.

This was a good moment to show to the different Olympic Committees, namely, the Portuguese Olympic Committee, the Brazilian Olympic Committee, the Kapverde Olympic Committee, the Angola Olympic Committee, the Guinea Bissau Olympic Committee, the São Tomé Olympic Committee, the vision and mission of Panathlon Movement and our initiatives and actions. It was also decided that a MoU would be signed between Panathlon Club of Lisbon and the ACOLOP to further strengthen its cooperation, mainly with the upcoming editions of Etica Summit. 

It's like when there is fog and our eyes struggle to see our surroundings clearly: and amid this snow-white expanse, we lost Matilde.

A death on the job, what she loved to do, a tragedy that seems absurd to touch a young athlete. Yet, the work of the sportsman has all kinds of fatal cases and probably thousands of protocols would not be enough to avoid them.

She was young and beautiful, and her smile that we knew from the photos overwhelms us along with the incredulity of what happened. We avoid giving importance to the where and how, better to understand the why. We need a response to family, to young people, to sport.

Nothing is worse than a father or mother surviving their daughters and sons. The death of Simoncelli, who fell on a motorcycling track, a sport that, like others, is not immune to danger, comes to mind.

And it is the father who remembers him and makes it a reason for human endurance in the face of a pain that is impossible to somatise. This is certainly also the case for Matilde's family.

If to her we address an emotional thought and a heartfelt prayer, to her relatives we dedicate the most fraternal embrace possible.

Of her we do not care to know her sporting palmares and the prospects that awaited her.

Too strong is the pain that comes with an axiom: you cannot die at 19 years.

Bye Matilde,

Lunes 21 de octubre con un cielo azul y mucho calor en el Parque Sarmiento finalizaron las competencias de los XXX Torneos Intercolegiales Masivos de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires.

Las profesoras Viviana Notaro y Maria José Castagna supervisoras de las regiones 7 y 8 del Ministerio de Educación de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires educando en valores durante las competencias fueron eligiendo los equipos que mas juego limpio demostraban en los encuentros deportivos de voley, futbol, handball y basquet. Ello fue acompañado por el Panathlon Club Buenos Aires que ofreció premiar a las escuelas y al gesto de juego limpio individual.

Concurrieron a la premiación la presidente Eva Szabo junto con los panathletas Marta Fatone y Julio Majul, éste del Panathlon Club PBA Zona Norte, y entregaron el premio Fair Play a los colegios que mas puntaje obtuvieron, en el caso de la región 7 al Colegio Técnico 27 "Hipólito Yrigoyen"  y en la región 8  al Colegio Nº 8 "Julio Argentino Roca"  y las medallas individuales a los estudiantes Alan Machado y Luciano Zoja quienes se destacaron por su conducta deportiva.

An online meeting of the PI President's Committee was held last Oct. 18, to discuss various topics, including the new budgets for the 2025/2026 biennium and a new membership fees proposal, drafted in accordance with what emerged at the General Assembly in Agrigento. The budgets and new fees will be the subject of discussion and deliberation by the International Board to be held on October 30 to illustrate them to the Clubs, District Presidents and Governors. The meeting also considered how to organize the Extraordinary General Assembly to be held next December 14, for the first time held “online”.

It was also discussed the need to schedule a meeting with the IOC to present and develop projects and new synergies with the Olympic Committee. Furthermore, it was confirmed the presence of President Giorgio Chinellato in the Sportaccord IF Forum of Lausanne, an event of great importance in the international sports scene.

Alongside the discussions about the PI Clubs and Areas, the CdP learned favourably of an interesting collaboration with the University of Leuven aimed at promoting the ethical values of sport among young students. The meeting ended positively and with a strong sense of cooperation, optimism and determination for the future of the association.

The SportAccord Forum, held in Lausanne October 21-23, was an opportunity to bring together the members of AIOS Association of International Organisations for Sport of which PI is a member. 

Present for Panathlon International were: President, Giorgio Chinellato, Past President Pierre Zappelli, along with President Bruno Molea, Valeria Gherardini and Wolfgang Burghardt (CSIT), Martin Isaksson and Bradley Sandler (FICS - Federation Internationale de chiropratique du sport).

During the meeting there was a discussion about the next possible members of Aios and the role of Aios in SportAccord, following the resolution taken by Gaisf regarding its decision on the possible entry of Aios into SportAccord as an observer. 

The entry of grassroots sport and organisations that do not practice élite sport in SportAccord would be an important recognition of the work of those who struggle every day to promote sport as a tool for healthy lifestyle and education.
