EUROLYMPIADES 2015 GRAVELINES – COLLEGE PIERRE ET MARIE CURIE 1 PREFACE Dear friends, Welcome to everybody for these Eurolympiads 2015. We are happy and proud to organise this international event that combines sport and culture, opposition and friendship, relaxing occasions and periods of intense efforts. Gravelines town is very rich and can’t be compared to others because it has got a lot of various and good accommodation, culture and sport facilities. During this week you will have the possibility to use quite a lot of these facilities: the Dunes Camping site, the nautical centre, Sportica, the Moulin stadium, five different gymnasiums, the PAArc and our school « Pierre et Marie Curie ». Thus we have been able to enlarge our sport programme: to the traditional athletics, swimming, football, basketball and badminton we have added table tennis, a rowing machines event and a duathlon. The participation of the biggest possible number of pupils in each team has been our constant will. The winning school will be undoubtedly the one where the group will be the most complete and showing the most solidarity as a team is never stronger than the weakest of all its players. We wish you a very pleasant week for these Eurolympiads 2015.
