Let’s take a stroll down memory lane to 2023, where a powerhouse in the Olympic realm, was honored with the prestigious Olympic Order—the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) highest accolade. Known for his monumental contributions to the Olympic Movement, he had also bagged the EOC Order of Merit during the 52nd EOC General Assembly in Istanbul.
Fast-forward to the glittering moment in Mumbai, IOC President Thomas Bach personally handed Andrzej Krasnicki the honor, celebrating his incredible influence on Polish sports, including the roaring success of the 2023 European Games in Krakow and the Malopolska region. But as we leap into 2025, the Olympics family might’ve just hit a somber note.
A heavy-hearted announcement came from WADA’s official X account on January 10, leaving fans and athletes alike shaken. The post shared, “We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Mr. Andrzej Kraśnicki, WADA Foundation Board Member and long-serving President of the Polish Olympic Committee. His remarkable dedication and contribution to sport will always be remembered. Our thoughts are with his loved ones at this difficult time.”
