We already know the winners of the 65th anniversary Tour de Pologne. The golden laurel has been awarded to the German, Jensowi Voigt,while the best Polish competitor was Marek Rutkiewicz from Myślenice. Taking advantage of the moment - it would be best to mention the young cycling talent of ours - Tomek Marczyński.

Last year we had the chance to support him during the Tour de Pologne race; this year Tomek could not partake in the race due to his participation in the Olympic Games in Beijing as well as preparation for the end of the season.

Soon we shall be able to follow his cycling achievements during Giro del Lazio.

"Ever since childhood I was a kid full of energy,who needed movement and physical exercise in order to be in his element. At some stge of my life, like almost any other young person I encountered a mechanical device called "a bike" - precisely - "Reksio":)

I still remember my grandfather bringing me my first bike" - this is a fragment of the autobiographical text that Tomek placed on his official webpage www.tomaszmarczynski.pl

Next he recalls how his quite ordinary, childish liking for bike-riding changed into a great passion and how he came to understand that cycling is precisely what he wants to devote his professional life to.

The first club that had Tomek as a member was WLSK Krakus Swoszowice, where he achieved his first success - after the first year of training he's become the fourth competitor in Poland in the area of individual ride on time.

The successive successes encouraged him to train even more intensively and thus even more victories came about.

In the year 2000 he proudly put on the red-and-white T-shirt with the eagle.

As the time went by and the career progressed he changed the clubs:he was a representative of the Pacific-Toruń Club, competed in the Spanish team "Telco-Jar" and presently performs representing the "Ceramica Flaminia” club.

Like in every sportman's biography one can find wonderful, joyful moments and the sad and painful ones - he had to change his plans several times due to the suffered contusions.

The most important thing is that he's never given up and has never lost his love for cycling.

The present season, drawing to its end, has not been easy for Tomek, either.

For the first time he's found himself among the representatives of Poland during the Olympic Games in Beijing.

Participation in the Olympic Games surely is a great distinction, but also is accompanied by a series of intensive training sessions and great psychological pressure.

Another difficulty with which the European competitors had to put up was the necessity of adjusting to the climate change, which negatively influenced their overall well-being.

The cycling endeavours took place on the first day of the Olympic Games already and although Tomek didn't manage to take a high place during the final classification, he came back full of positive impressions.

Above all, it is living in the Olympic village and the amazing atmosphere of the place that makes the sportsmen feel that the choices they've made for their life are the right ones.

Tomek Marczyński is one of the younger cyclists performing during the Olympic Games - thus he already mentions his dream of performing in the next Olympic Games.

After a period of many a positive impression related to his performance in the olympic games, difficult moments appeared once again in Tomek's sports career - his fall during the race in Italy forced him to change his starting plans a little.He could not partake in this year's Tour de Pologne, but presently his condition is improving and he's preparing to end this cycling season in a spectacular way.

We shall observe the course of Tomek Marczyński's sports career with great interest and wish him very fast recovery as well as the unforgettable emotions accompanying passing the finish line as the winner of the race!
