CSIT Spirit in the heart of the Ancient Olympic Games
CSIT WSG2025 Loutraki
Mali has one of the largest teams with almost 200 athletes taking part in almost all team sports and track events. “For us, this is a lifetime expierience,” says a 2.05-meter-tall basketball player from the North African nation. The team also stands out in Loutraki outside the competition venues: The uniformly bright blue team suits catch the eye everywhere. Corporate identity - a role model for many other teams. Spain is represented in Loutraki by a selection of Catalan athletes, who stand out for their performances in padel, for example, but also for their multiple red and yellow striped regional flags. Tortosa in Catalonia hosted wonderful Games in 2019. “It would be great if we could welcome all these athletes to my home country,” says a young girl from the Irish track and field team. A few minutes earlier, her compatriot Ben Brunton had won the 5000 meters in a thrilling race against five Mexicans, among others. “That's an Olympic experience in itself,” said the winner happily. A remarkable statement in the heart of the ancient Olympic Games. Of course, the big teams from Italy, Mexico and Austria were also in party mood. Not only in the venues, but also on the picturesque promenades and beaches on the Gulf of Corinth. Not to mention the relatively large selection of the small team from San Marino, where the next CSIT Congress will take place.
