Abstract: Let $ M^{n}$, $ n\geq 3$, be an $ s$-hyperbolic (in the sense of Gromov) Hadamard manifold. Let us assume that we are given a family of disjoint convex subsets and a point $ o$ outside these sets. It is shown that if one shrinks these sets by the constant $ s$, then it is possible to find a complete geodesic through $ o$ that avoids the shrunk sets.
