IN KOSICE FINAL ACT IN AN EXCEPTIONAL YEAR OF ATHLETICS

KOSICE - More than thirty thousand spectators are expected to line the route of tomorrow’s 6th IAAF/VSZ World Half Marathon Championships. They will be there to watch an exciting race, but above all to cheer on local athlete Robert Stefko. The 29 year old Slovak was born in Kosice, a city of some 250,000 inhabitants, lying on the plains a few kilometres from the Tatra Mountains, and he has come home to take part in the greatest event of his career.
