Pokal mesta Ljubljane
Plavalni klub Ljubljana z velikim ponosom napoveduje jubilejni 50. mednarodni plavalni miting Pokal mesta Ljubljane, ki bo potekal 24. in 25. maja 2025 na prenovljenem Olimpijskem bazenu Ilirija. Ta dogodek ni le tekmovanje, temveč praznik plavanja, ki že pol stoletja združuje športnike iz Slovenije in tujine ter spodbuja razvoj plavalnega športa na najvišji ravni.
Zgodovina in pomen mitinga
Pokal mesta Ljubljane se je prvič odvijal v 70-ih letih prejšnjega stoletja, sprva pod imenom »Mednarodni miting PK Ljubljana«. Leta 1980 je bil preimenovan v »Pokal mesta Ljubljane« in od takrat naprej je postal stalnica v plavalnem koledarju. Tekmovanje je gostilo številne vrhunske plavalce in ekipe iz Slovenije ter sosednjih držav, kot so Hrvaška, Italija, Avstrija in Srbija. Miting je znan po tem, da mladim plavalcem omogoča preverjanje forme pred poletno sezono ter doseganje norm za velika tekmovanja, kot so evropska prvenstva in evropske igre mladih.
Mednarodni značaj in kvalifikacije
Letošnji miting je vključen v koledar LEN in bo potekal po pravilih World Aquatics, European Aquatics in Plavalne zveze Slovenije. Tekmovanje je potrjeno kot kvalifikacijsko za Svetovno prvenstvo v plavanju v Singapurju 2025, kar pomeni, da bodo plavalci imeli priložnost doseči norme A in B za to prestižno tekmovanje.
