“You set records in almost all sports: swimming, Nordic walking, yoga, sports dancing and many other areas. Thanks to your successes and achievements, our city has become a pilot site for the federal project “Siberian Longevity” and has become the best municipal practice of the Russian Federation,” emphasized the deputy head of the city, head of the department of social development, Evgenia Yuryeva.
The holiday was also complemented by musical and sports performances from club members, a dance flash mob and folk games. At the end of the festival, the instructors were awarded.
