02-04-2006 Bratislava - 1.st Bratislava's marathon

This weekend came to pass first Bratislava city marathon. I provide some photos from this event, as I was there. General sponsor of this marathon was Tatra Banka company (if I remember good).

The marathon was opened by city mayor, but there was several other well-known hosts helping to open marathon. I have some shots of politics like prime minister ... etc, but it's not very interesting. More interesting was our tennis player no.1 : Dominik Hrbaty.

Dominik Hrbaty.

Dominik didn't run marathon, but maybe next years ;-)

Before running marathon itself, there was another discipline : Inline skates championship.

Preparing to start

Main discipline was running marathon : Full marathon, Half marathon and Quarter marathon. They started at the same time, but their ways were different. This is the start :

After start everybody moved to "Hviezdislavove namestie" - final stage of marathon. I shoted some photos with people, which are very important on this actions:

Then remained waiting for first place. First of all (of course) came inline-skater from Czech republic. He won with system start line - finish line. Really. Here he is :

I did not wait until all marathon finished, so I provide first runner from quarter marathon

This runner was not first, but it doesn't matter. I like this photo ;-). BTW this is not sport channel.

It's the end for now, enjoy this week and have fun.
