BROKEN DREAM

PRZERWANY SEN

Krzysztof Cegielski, aka Cegła, one of the most promising speedway riders in Poland, participated in the championships of the Polish, as well as English and Swedish divisions. In June 2003, at Vatlanda’s speedway, he sustained an accident, as a result losing the use of his legs. Since then he has been moving in a wheelchair and undergoing long-lasting rehabilitation. Cegielski, who does not accept his disability, treats this stage of his life as yet another struggle and the most difficult of all the competitions.
