The specific atmosphere of the event, sports experiences and contacts and friendships made on that occasion attract young fencers to Wroclaw in March every year.
During that tournament, they enter the world of fencing and many of them start great sporting careers. The emotions they experience - joy and tears - mobilise them to train hard even further; for some of them, the event will only be a source of wonderful memories, for others it will be the road to Olympic medals.
