Problem Statement

Given is an acute triangle ABC ABC and the points A1,B1,C1 A_1,B_1,C_1, that are the feet of its altitudes from A,B,C A,B,C respectively. A circle passes through A1 A_1 and B1 B_1 and touches the smaller arc AB AB of the circumcircle of ABC ABC in point C2 C_2. Points A2 A_2 and B2 B_2 are defined analogously. Prove that the lines A1A2 A_1A_2, B1B2 B_1B_2, C1C2 C_1C_2 have a common point, which lies on the Euler line of ABC ABC.
