Fifth place in the world’s competitions

Rescuers from KSRG Borynia took 5th place in the VIII International Mining Rescue Event in Donetsk, Ukraine. 26 teams from 14 countries competed in the performance. Rescuers from JSW took overall best place (resulting in the least penalty points) among all five teams representing Poland.

Although we have not gained any cup, we do not have to be ashamed. Mine Rescue Competition are not Olympic struggles with medals in different disciplines. From the very beginning of the mine rescue it is widely known that it is "team discipline", thus the skills of all team  should be considered, because it gives a guarantee of success in action. We are the fifth team in the world - says Anthony Jakubów, head of natural hazards team in JSW.

The first three places in the overall standings were taken by rescuers from Ukraine, and  Canadian team was ranked just one place ahead rescuers from Borynia . After the first day of the rivalry, there was the challenge "to carry out rescue operations" , that is simulated rescue operations (16 teams presented their skills on that day), our rescuers occupied the first place with the time of 121 minutes and 54 seconds and 77 penalty points. The next day another teams took part in the game, of which, seven reported better times than rescuers from Borynia.
