Thirteen events, 750 registered sportspeople, favorable weather and outstanding performances: this is a brief summary of the 28th edition of the annual Summer Sports Games for U. S. Steel Košice employees, which were held between Thursday, September 6 and Sunday, September 9 this year.
There were competitions in ten-pin bowling, badminton, tennis, volleyball, table-tennis, five-a-side soccer, chess, football-tennis, softball, cycling, running over 10 km, inline skating and golf. At the Athletes' Evening closing celebrations, U. S. Steel Košice President Scott Buckiso presented medals and cups to the best performers, and he himself stood up on the winners' podium to be presented with a symbolic medal by the organizers as a token of gratitude for his support before his departure from Košice. The President used the opportunity to introduce his successor, James Bruno, to his colleagues.
