Piotr Łobodziński, World Champion in Towerrunning as a guest of Olivia Business Centre
This meeting was the most awaited by the participants registered for the second edition of the charity staircase run Star Challenge 2019. Piotr Łobodziński – the most titled Towerrunner of the world, World, European and Polish Champion and 4-time winner of the World Cup, as well as the winner of the famous races on the Emipre State Building in New York and the Eiffel Tower in Paris was a special guest of Olivia Business Centre.
– On the final straight to the Star Challenge, the most important thing seems to be the summary of the work and the strategy of the run. Piotr, who is the Ambassador of the event for the second time, not only took us to the fascinating world of the most prestigious events, but above all shared tips that can be described as a way to win – admits Dagmara Rybicka, Communication Manager of Olivia Business Centre, with a smile.
The meeting in the Sky Club in Olivia Tower began with the theoretical part, after which the participants had the opportunity to train under the supervision of the Master on the Olivia Star staircase, where the run will be held on December 1 .
– There was a lot of advice and interesting observations that I would like to apply when improving last year’s result. In stair running, technique, analysis of the cage in which we race and a bit of cunning are important, thanks to which we have a chance to outrun physically stronger rivals – sums up the participant of the meeting.
Piotr Łobodziński did not want to reveal how long it would take him to climb the 34 floors of Olivia Star, but he assured that it will be possible to find out in the next edition of the event. This year, plans to play together, which measures help by floors, were thwarted by the start in Asia.
The competition will be held in five categories. Star Sprint, in which the competitors will race from level zero, finishing in 34th place. Star Ultra , during which participants will climb 34 floors three times, Uniformed Star Sprint , which requires you to face the distance Sprint in full uniform, and Star Challenge, where you have to run as many floors as possible for 120 minutes. The grande finale of the event is the Olivia Business Centre Residents’ Cup, in which 3-person company teams will compete for a unique trophy made by Blind Children from the Centre in Sobieszewo and the artist Alicja Stańska.
