Sports Stars Avenue in Dziwnów, Public sports recognition walkway in Dziwnów, Poland
Sports Stars Avenue is a row of brass replicas of sports medals set on pedestals along Reymonta Street in Dziwnów, between Mickiewicza and Sienkiewicza streets. The first replicas were unveiled in 2002, and new pedestals are added each summer during the Festival of Sports Stars. Among those honoured are Irena Szewińska, Ryszard Szurkowski and Waldemar Marszałek.
The first brass medal replicas were unveiled in 2002 on Reymonta Street, between Mickiewicza and Sienkiewicza streets. Since then, new pedestals with replicas of medals won by famous athletes have been unveiled every summer during the Festival of Sports Stars. The first honorees included Irena Szewińska, Ryszard Szurkowski and Waldemar Marszałek.
Each summer during the Festival Gwiazd Sportu (Festival of Sports Stars), new pedestals with brass medal replicas are unveiled along the avenue. The first seven replicas, including those of Irena Szewińska and Ryszard Szurkowski, were presented in 2002. Later honorees range from weightlifter Mariusz Pudzianowski to ski jumper Wojciech Fortuna.
The avenue runs along Reymonta Street between Mickiewicza and Sienkiewicza Streets, a short walk from Dziwnów's centre. New pedestals are unveiled each summer during the Festival of Sports Stars, so a summer visit may coincide with an unveiling ceremony.
The avenue consists of brass replicas of medals, not marble slabs or handprints. New pedestals are unveiled each summer during the Festival of Sports Stars, and the first seven, including Irena Szewińska's, date from 2002. The roll includes a 2026 group with Maciej Kot and Karolina Naja.
