Povazsky Marathon

This photograph was taken at the Povazsky Marathon in Nove Mesto nad Vahom on 15 May 1982. I (Jan Hanak) am the one wearing number 87.

In athletics I did long-distance running. To this day I don't know a more beautiful aroma than that of a sweaty hockey dressing room. As former soldiers, paratroopers, we also have our own club and we get together. We put on various events, including jumps, shooting and trips. I'm also a member of the Zilina Old Boys hockey and soccer team. We get together with the guys once a year to sit around and reminisce about old times.
