Fencing test event at Athens/Helliniko coastal zone Olympic complex (March 2004) |
It has been a long time since my twenties when i was a fencing athlete. Recently however, i had the opportunity as a volunteer this time, to participate in the set up of Athens 2004 fencing Grand Prix. Similar tournaments and events in every sport normally take place during the months leading to the Olympic Games (starting Aug 13th) in order to test venues and Games management readiness. Volunteering in the Olympics, most likely the greatest global diversified, multicultural and peaceful gathering of people, is an opportunity for a unique inside experience along with a chance to watch closely some of the world's top athletes competing. |
