Dear sportsmen, dear young friends,
This year marks the 9th year of the European Games for Handicapped Youth, and although it could not have taken place in the original June term due to the coronavirus pandemic, we are very pleased that the rganizers did not abandon this important sporting event and postponed the games to mid-September.
I realize that you have completely different conditions for giving a great sports performance than your peers, who can play sports without restrictions due to their health. You deserve my admiration, because you exceed the limits of your possibilities every day, whether it is in training or during competitions.
You show us that the will and motivation can break every limit. I wish that the Emil Open 2020 games ecome a successful highlight of your season and bring you a lot of unique experiences, new friendships and quality sports results.
I wish you good sports luck
MUDr. Jiří Běhounek
1st Vice-Chairman of the Council of the Association of Regions of the Czech Republic and Governor of the Vysočina Region
