Since 1957, Gaztelueta has held the Autumn Olympiad, a sporting event created by Jos\u00e9 Luis Mota, Gonzalo Redondo and Antonio \u00c1lvarez, coinciding with the start of sports competitions, with a dual purpose: to encourage students to practice athletics and to create an extraordinary event that would stimulate daily sporting practice. In its first two editions, it was held in the spring and in its third edition it was held on the feast of San Rafael and became known as the \"Autumn Olympiad\". The first Olympiad was a very modest event in which only two years of secondary school took part, and in its second year elements were introduced which are still present today, such as the torch and the Olympic flag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Olympic flame<\/strong> carried it on this occasion \u00c1lvaro Mart\u00edn Belloso<\/strong>This is the start of another year of this eagerly awaited event. Ignacio Garteiz-Gogeascoa <\/strong>was in charge of bringing the Gaztelueta flag to the athletics track, followed by the Olympic flag, which was accompanied by representatives of the older primary school pupils to the flagpole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the sporting events, the primary school pupils took to the athletics track in an inaugural parade by year group in which the sportsmen and sportswomen are presented to their public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
