Krasnal Olimpijczyk

Krasnal Olimpijczyk is a dwarf statue in Szczepin displaying athletic wear and sports equipment as a representation of physical activity. The figure stands in the neighborhood with details that convey a competitive spirit and focus on athletic pursuits.

The statue was installed in 2021 as part of a dwarf collection that emerged from the Orange Alternative movement against communist control in the 1980s. This artistic tradition continued and evolved into a significant feature of Wrocław's urban landscape.

This bronze figure is part of Wrocław's tradition of placing small dwarf sculptures throughout the streets to represent different professions and activities. The dwarf statues have become a distinctive feature of the city's public spaces and shape how residents and visitors experience the neighborhoods.

The statue is located in the Szczepin district near restaurants and public transportation stops. The best way to visit is by walking through the neighborhood and exploring the area, where several of these figures are scattered throughout.

This figure is the first dwarf in Wrocław dedicated specifically to international sporting competitions and Olympic themes. It shows how the traditional art form of dwarfs has been modernized and expanded to cover new subject matter.
