On June 21, 2024, the regular Olympic Day, organized by the Slovak Olympic and Sports Committee, took place in the area of Lake Kuchajda in Bratislava. As every year, the representatives of SZOŠ also participated in this event. Members of the ŠK Farmaceut Bratislava and ŠK Sandberg clubs prepared an orientation labyrinth for visitors and a track for the finalists of the Olympic Versatility Badge for their final discipline - orienteering. I would like to thank the members of the mentioned clubs for their efforts and at the same time invite all of yours to the Olympic Festival, which will be held in the same space during the Olympic Games in Paris. Orienteering sports will be presented as part of the festival on August 1, 2024.
