EGLSF Challenge Cups

As a special recognition of the achievements by EuroGames participants the European Gay and Lesbian Sport Federation (EGLSF) will award the best men, women and teams in the most popular sports with the Challenge Cups. At the Closing Ceremony EGLSF representatives will officially hand over the Cups to the winners.

Some cups are memorial cups. These are dedicated to persons who in the past have greatly contributed to the development of EGLSF and European gay and lesbian sport in general. All cups represent the pride of lesbians and gays to freely participate in sports, to reach for their limits and give their personal best.

This year, 16 Challenge cups will be awarded in the following sports:
Badminton, A level, singles (men's = Dominique Pogiale cup).
Volleyball, A level (men's = Bernd Stürzenberger cup).
Swimming, 100m, free style, breast stroke, butterfly, back stroke.
Running, 10Km.
Football.

The Volleyball cup is dedicated to Bernd Stürzenberger (Germany), who was member of the first gay sport club in Europe, SC Janus Cologne, co-founder of Vorspiel SSL Berlin in 1986 and Team Berlin in 1989.
In remembrance of Dominique Pogiale (France), the Badminton Cup is given to the best male player. He was co-founder and the first president of the EGLSF. Also he belonged to the board of CGPIF, the Paris umbrella organisation of GLBT sport groups (today called FSGL).
The Swimming Cup for best male swimmer on the 100 m free style is dedidated to Mano Fabistas (the Netherlands), the in 2005 deceased EGLSF-board member.
