The success and development of athletics also depend on the invaluable contributions of time, effort and expertise of individuals working at all levels of the sport. That is why the European Athletics, at the initiative of the national federations, annually awards awards to those who have particularly distinguished themselves. This award was also received this year by Mrs. Barbara Železnik, head of the NLB Ljubljana Marathon and director of the Timing Ljubljana Association, which is the organizer of the largest running event in Slovenia and the region.
