Memorial of Czesław Cybulski - this is the name of the athletics meeting with the participation of the stars of the Queen of Sport in Golęcin. The next edition will take place on June 18, 2023.

– Coach Czesław Cybulski, who died in 2022, is the most natural patron for our competitions – explains the director of the meeting, Łukasz Miadziołko. – In recent years, we have watched the performances of the world's top hammer throwers and hammer throwers at Golęcin, and all thanks to the fact that a large part of these top players were coach Cybulski's charges. We regret that the coach will no longer sit in the stands, but we are proud that he can symbolically be with us in the next editions of the meeting.

The meeting, held so far under the name of Poznań Athletics Grand Prix, will be held for the fifth time this year. The competition has been attracting crowds of fans since 2019, and the high attendance is ensured by the star cast. The program and players of the Czesław Cybulski Memorial will soon be known to the inhabitants of Poznań.
