Euregio games inspire – South Tyroleans cheer

Around 750 children between the ages of eleven and 14 from Trentino, North Tyrol and South Tyrol took part in seven sports disciplines and thus sent a strong signal for the Tyrol-South Tyrol-Trentino European region. The event was rounded off with the joint award ceremony on the market square in Kaltern.

On behalf of the European region Tyrol-South Tyrol-Trentino, the Association of Sports Clubs of South Tyrol (VSS) organized the 22st edition of the EUREGIO Games on Saturday, September 2018nd, 1. Around 750 young athletes between the ages of eleven and 14 (born 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007) from Tyrol, Trentino and South Tyrol competed against each other in friendly competition.

Under the eyes of numerous parents and guests of honor, all participants put in a lot of effort. While the handball and table tennis competitions took place in Eppan, the sports shooters, tennis players and footballers - including the Special Olympics tournament for people with mental disabilities - competed in Kaltern. There were also the volleyball games in Tramin and the loudly cheered swimmers in Bolzano. In all venues there were sometimes extremely close decisions.

Enjoyment of sport Despite all the sporting rivalry during the competition, the focus was always on the joy of sport and togetherness. Ultimately, there were only smiling faces at the award ceremony. All participants were awarded a EUREGIO medal, ideally accompanied by a fantastic show performance by the Rhythmic Gymnastics Tyrol Performance Center.

Numerous guests of honor - among them Governor Arno Kompatscher, Kaltern's mayor Gertrud Benin Bernard, the regional councilors Waltraud Deeg and Philipp Achammer as well as the Secretary General of the European region Tyrol-South Tyrol-Trentino, Christoph von Ach, city councilor Andrea Bertoldi from Levico for the Trentino delegation and the President of ASVÖ Tirol, Hubert Piegger – actively supported the award ceremony. South Tyrolean top In the national rankings for each sport, the South Tyroleans were ultimately able to celebrate the most: the South Tyroleans were the most successful in football, swimming, shooting, tennis and volleyball. The people of Trentino celebrated their overall victory in table tennis, while the North Tyroleans were ahead in handball. In the end, the home team from South Tyrol was able to lift the overall trophy made of Lasa marble.

Governor Arno Kompatscher also used the opportunity to remind people of the importance of the European idea: “We don’t want any borders within Europe, after all we are all Europeans.” Events like the EUREGIO games, which show children and young people the numerous similarities, are all the more important show. In any case, ASVÖ President Hubert Piegger promised: “The ASVÖ Tirol and the state of Tyrol will actively work to ensure that there will be the second edition of the EUREGIO Games in two years.”
