Kolosy 2019 – An event good for all

For the 21st time, KOLOSY took place in Gdynia. The event has already become a huge and prestigious event. Almost 20 000 people visited Gdynia Arena. The lines for fairs of outdoors equipment were really long, but as always the main point of the program was the reward ceremony. This year the judges have given prizes for travelers for the 20th time.

The winners of Kolosy

The winners in “the feat of the year” category are Michal Woroch and Maciej Kaminski. They had successfully climbed K2 (the highest peak in Asia) being disabled. Wheelchairs are necessary for them to move. They said that this feat gave their lives a point and brought them happiness.

In “travels” category the award went to Kamila Kielar for the ruthlessness of showing schemes, which are running today’s world and ability to take care of as she said “important subjects”.
