Elite sport at CST

It provides its services mainly to the national associations, but also to regional bodies and athletes training on their own initiative, as well as to international associations. One of the principal objectives is to improve the overall conditions that contribute to promoting elite sport.
The Sector is committed to providing a perfect sports facility, support services for athletes, and a training and assistance programme geared to the requirements of elite athletes, including board, lodging and recreation.
