Athletics at the 1947 World Festival of Youth and Students

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1st World Festival of Youth and Students featured an athletics competition among its programme of events. The events were contested in Prague, Czechoslovakia in August 1947. Mainly contested among Eastern European athletes, it served as an alternative to the more Western European-oriented 1947 International University Games held in Paris the same year.[1]

Prominent competitors included Ivan Gubijan, Wacław Kuźmicki and Olga Šicnerová, all of whom later participated at the 1948 Summer Olympics. Double sprint gold medallist Ion Moina's feats later led to the Stadionul Ion Moina being named in his honour. Přemysl Hajný won a shot put and discus throw double in the men's section and later won an Olympic silver medal in ice hockey at the 1948 Winter Olympics.[2] Only one medallist in the women's section was from outside of Poland and Czechoslovakia.[1]
