The mayor of Świdnica has informed about the death of Stanisław Kowalski, who was the oldest Pole, and one of the oldest men of the globe. Mr Kowalski died only a few days before his 112th birthday. Despite his age, he was so full of positive energy, eagerness and love for sports, that he could make many teenagers jealous. He had ended his sports career only in 2016, so just a few years ago he would still run, throw the discus and hammer, and beat records while at it.
