Speednet with the Olivia Centre Cup!

It was two days of great emotions. Over 100 players from 13 teams competed in the 1st Volleyball Tournament for the Olivia Cup. They were fast and tireless! They overcame fatigue and weakness. In the end, Speednet and PwC faced off in the grand finale! Won… Speednet, defeating their rival in two sets (2:0). Silver in the hands of PwC. The third place on the podium was taken by the Bayer team, who fought with the team from Sii in the semi-finals. The MVP of the tournament was Grzegorz from Speednet, playing (really like a lion) with the number 3.

 

Olivia made it to the quarterfinals. We were eliminated only after a fierce battle with the already mentioned Bayer.

 

The quarter-final matches were played by:

  • Sii vs Lyreco
  • Bayer vs Olivia Centre
  • O4 Coworking vs PwC
  • Speednet vs Olivia’s Friends

Semi finals:

  • Sii vs PwC
  • Bayer vs Speednet

Final:

  • Speednet vs PwC (2:0)

Thank you for this extraordinary time!

Our suggestions for the summer!

It will be short but concise. We are starting with summer activities. We invite you to cruises to the sunset: every Wednesday and to beach volleyball classes every Thursday.

 

Sailing

We live by the sea, so we can’t help but sail! We invite you every Wednesday for a cruise on the Bay of Gdansk. Into the sunset. Olivia is on a roll:) We invite all intrepid – beginners and experienced. Those who want to enjoy the summer to the fullest. Taking part in a cruise does not require sailing experience, but it is possible to gain it and catch the bug for an activity that can change your life!

  • Sunset cruise.
  • We start from the most beautiful marina in Poland, located at the end of the Sopot pier. This is also where we end our cruise.
  • We depart at 18:00
  • We return at 20:00

 

Volleyball

It’s also time for beach volleyball! We invite you every Thursday to the beach volleyball court at Olivia Park! Ahead of you is a training session during which everyone will find something for themselves.

  • Classes are held on a full-size sports field.
  • The first class runs from 5:00 p.m. to 6:15 p.m.
  • The next group sees each other from 6:15 p.m. to 7:30 p.m
  • During the training, we will learn the classic for this discipline batting in teams of two, bounce techniques, positioning and communication.
  • Each participant will have the opportunity to learn or practice moves typical only for beach volleyball.
  • Everything will always end with a match game.

 

SEE ALL OUR EVENTS

We are sailing at the end of the winter holidays!

Whoever loves winter and the sea, short and long journeys, unforgettable views and excellent company simply must take part in this event. We invite you to a unique, winter sailing with Olivia Yacht Club.

  • What counts is willingness, good mood and wind (of course!)
  • We invite all intrepid people – beginners and experienced.
  • Those who are simply driven by the winter weather and want to do unique things.
  • Taking part in a cruise does not require sailing experience, but it is possible to gain it and catch the bug for an activity that can change your life!

There are two suggestions for cruises on the Bay of Gdansk:

  • TRIP TO HEL: Marina Sopot – Hel – Sunday 27.02, 9:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. (150 PLN, we sail with a minimum of 4 people)
  • INTO THE SUNSET: Sopot – Sopot: 27.02, 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. (50 PLN)

HERE IS THE LINK TO BUY YOUR TICKET!

What to take (apart from a good mood)?

  • Hats, gloves, and a winter jacket are all items of clothing that are worth having on the water. A storm jacket or other clothing that protects against wind or frost – great! It’s better not to take advantage of the big winter hat;) than to feel its absence. (Holidays are coming to an end, but a ski outfit can come in handy
  • Below deck there is space not only to leave things, but also to warm up and enjoy coffee or tea.
  • Boots – sporty, with a white sole (we recommend ski socks, what about them?)

Let’s relive it!

 

Tri-City Sailing League 2022 is over

The 2022 Tri-City Sailing League is over. For the third year in a row, the League championship goes to the resident of Olivia Centre. At the same time, it is the second time in a row that the champion is the consulting company PwC.

 

Balex Tri-City Sailing League is a combination of sports competition with training and business aspects. Each round of the regatta is accompanied by theoretical training and practical training. In addition, the crews have yachts at their disposal almost throughout the season, so they train intensively between regattas. This format of the project means that the business environment has the opportunity to integrate, develop competences and group motivation in the waters of the Gulf of Gdańsk, which is a unique distinguishing feature on the map of Polish.

 

In this year’s edition, the weather conditions were good and we managed to hold all the planned races during 5 regattas. The general classification after the 2022 season included the results of as many as 30 races. Between the regattas there were also 5 group training sessions, which served to improve the competence and knowledge of the participants, as the majority of the regatta is attended by amateurs. In total, over 60 people took part in the regatta.

 

In the fight for victory, the crews of Dynatrace, Hear Studio and PwC Poland fared the best, for which for the second year in a row there were no strong ones. The vast experience of the skipper of this team, Borys Malinowski, who has been competing in the league in various teams for five years, meant that the impressive league cup will remain at the PwC headquarters in Olivia Centre for another year.

 

I’m very happy that we managed to defend the title, especially looking at the amount of training that the competitors did. With us, experience and swimming in the league format paid off, so the cup stays with us. One more win and it will be ours forever – says Borys Malinowski, helmsman at PwC, with a smile.

 

It is worth noting that the first two teams – Dynatrace and Hear Studio – are newcomers to the competition, but their level of commitment was huge and they quickly matched or even surpassed the skills of other crews. Especially the attitude of the helmsman of the Hear Studio crew was admirable, as he commuted to Sopot from Warsaw for training almost week after week. As a result, he went from last place in the first round to an excellent second place. This shows that a sailing adventure awaits everyone, and the formula of integration and motivation on the water is a perfect solution for the development of your own contacts and your own business.

 

This is the third time in the history of the regatta that the crews of Olivia Centre have won it. This is the result of the constant presence of sailing enthusiasts on the water as part of the Olivia Yacht Club project – an informal club of water sports enthusiasts, gathered around Olivia and the main promoter of the club, Maciej Kotarski. Olivia Yacht Club is a project that was created together with the Olympic gold medalist Mateusz Kusznierewicz, and among the instructors there were also medalists of the Polish, European and world championships, so the adepts of water sports had the opportunity to develop their passions under the supervision of professional sailing staff.

 

“I am bursting with pride that I was able to take the first step in this spectacular chain of victories as the helmsman of the Olivia Centre crew in 2019. It should be added that we were trained for 2 years by the amazing Mateusz Kusznierewicz, who was the captain of the crew, and we always had a professional navigator on board. Remigiusz Wojciechowski from Bayer Global Business Services Gdańsk, Bartłomiej Glinka from Omida S.A. were also regular members of our team. Michał Krzepkowski from EPAM Polska and a professional navigator Mikołaj Staniul – says Maciej Kotarski, who is also the director of commercialization of Olivia Centre.

 

– The Bay of Gdańsk and its values are one of the most important distinguishing features of the Tri-City, which attracts people from all over Polish to the sea like a magnet. – emphasizes Bogusław Wieczorek, Plenipotentiary of the Management Board of Olivia Centre. – It would be a sin not to take full advantage of it, which is why for years in Olivia we have been trying to integrate the business environment around sailing, and not only in the season, and it must be admitted that there are fewer cruises in the season. The sea and the bay have meant that Gdańsk has been on the rise for years. Companies are increasingly moving their headquarters here. Moreover, it is easier for employers to recruit professional staff from other parts of Polish not only because of professional prospects, but also because of the high quality of life, and access to the beaches, sea and mountainous forests of the Tri-City Landscape Park is one of the key reasons why research shows that the happiest Poles live in the Tri-City – adds Bogusław Wieczorek.
