On June 7–8, the traditional, now 29th, Sports Games for Families of Lithuanian Industrial Workers took place on the beach of Šventoji. The event brought together around 600 participants from all over Lithuania – from the very youngest to senior sports enthusiasts, and even some pets. The gloomy weather forecast didn’t scare anyone off – a large number of attendees arrived.
We are delighted to welcome new teams among the participants – this year, representatives of the Trade Union of Turto Bankas and the trade union “Panbūstas”, along with their family members, joined the event for the first time.
Participants were greeted by Dalia Jakutavičė, Chairwoman of the Lithuanian Federation of the Lithuanian Industry Trade Union Federation and the Lithuanian Trade Union Confederation, as well as Minister of Social Security and Labour of the Republic of Lithuania, Inga Ruginienė.
This year, the champions of the Games were the “Achema” and “Elektrėnų komunalinis ūkis” both winning 27 prize places. The representatives of the Naftininkų profersinė sąjunga stood out, earning 14 awards. The team of AB “Šiaulių energija” claimed 13 prize-winning places. Strong performances were also delivered by teams from “Šiaulių energetika”, “KN Energies”, AB “Kauno energija”, “Ignitis gamyba”, and ESO.
These Games once again proved that our members are not only outstanding professionals but also true advocates of an active lifestyle.
The organizers warmly congratulate all the winners and medalists and sincerely thank everyone who joined this wonderful celebration of sports and community.
See you next year at the 30th, anniversary Games!
