To był Puchar Świata, impreza wówczas o wiele bardziej prestiżowa, niż dziś. Mistrzostw świata jeszcze nie było, Pani Irena w reprezentacji Europy, krajowe składy wystawiły dwie najsilniejsze ekipy w Pucharze Europy, czyli NRD i ZSRR - wtedy poza konkurencją. It was the World Cup, an event then much more prestigious than today. There was no world championship yet, Ms. Irena in the European national team, the national squads had the two strongest teams in the European Cup, that is, the GDR and the USSR - out of competition then.
