High-profile event in its 55th year - in media cooperation with Tirol TV, the Tiroler Tageszeitung and the Austrian Ministry of Sport.
The role of women in sport - as athletes, coaches, managers, mothers - also has to do with equity. The Panathlon movement is dedicated to this topic and the Panathlon Club Innsbruck has made it its motto in its anniversary year:"Frauen im (Spitzen-)Sport - unverzichtbar". And that the theme is touching was demonstrated by the great attention of the many visitors and the presence of important personalities from the Tyrolean sports world. 'This event is a sign that more needs to be done. Integrate women better into the existing infrastructure'; get girls into sport as early as possible and keep them there, and create better opportunities for them to participate in sport, especially in rural areas'. The highlight of the event was the presentation of a Certificate of Honour to the grand dame and pioneer of Tyrolean volleyball, Therese Achammer, who celebrated her 80th birthday and continues to be actively involved in women's volleyball.
The full report of the event will be published in the next issue of the Magazine.

Renato Zanovello comments on a symbolic episode of the Tour de France:
"Every day the mass-media provide very sad news about the many scourges that are devastating humanity from the health, economic, social, political, ecological and so on, due to a phenomenon of incomprehensible self-destruction if not with the unjustified motivation of an immediate benefit that ignores or tramples on any form of human dignity. But, as a man of sport, as a panathlete, I found some relief in learning the good news of the great gesture of fair-play by a young Danish cyclist, J. Vingegaard, who at the Tour de France stopped to wait for his direct rival, the Slovenian champion T. Pogacar, who crashed on the route, before going on to win the stage and consolidate his lead in the classification."

Dear President of Panathlon Club,
Dear Panathlon International Members,
As informed previously, Panathlon International is participating in an Erasmus+ project, which is being funded by the European Union. This project is called “Sport Against Match-Fixing". In this project, Panathlon International is joined by other relevant sporting organisations from different countries and different sports.
The goal of the project is to raise awareness to key topics related to the prevention of match-fixing and the consequences and risks of this unethical and unfair phenomenon, especially considering the negative impact it can unleash on the career of grassroot athletes. To tackle this, this Project is seeking to, amongst other, develop a web-based educational which will assist with the main objective, which is to prevent the engangement with match-fixing practices.
This project is expected to last until 2024 and Panathlon International is actively involved in the delivery of set objectives.
As Clubs and Panathlon Members, we are now seeking your assistance and for your active contribution so that these objectives can be reached. Consequently, we need your assistance with:
1) the identification of best practices that your Club/ you have developed related to the prevention of match-fixing (e.g. a Session that your Club/ you have presented and/or a result/idea launched/implemented). This can also be best practices that you have identified and that you think could be worth exploring. We're more than available to collect any ideas and suggestions.
2) the identification of sports persons (e.g. athletes, coaches, referees, managers) which are aware about the topic of match-fixing and that could participate in an anonymised questionnaire/interview? Preferably, it would be great that these sports persons are Panathlon International members.
Please submit your answers to general.secretariat@panathlon.net until 22/08/2022, 23.59 (deadline).
We look forward to your active collaboration and to keep you updated on the progress of the SAMF Project.
Please also make sure to follow the social media of the SAMF Project, which you can find below:
Thank you and best regards,
Simona Callo Fábio Figueiras
