I wish you good health, cheerfulness, Olympic perseverance, the achievement of the most ambitious aims and new victories," said Anatoly Miroshnikov.
On a professional holiday all the athletes and adherents of healthy lifestyle were also congratulated by Dmitry Pirog.
"Krasnodar has really become a territory of sports. I commend the support given by the city Mayor Evgeny Pervyshov to the development of mass sports and physical education and the promotion of healthy lifestyle among young people in the capital of Kuban. Only through these mass and vibrant sports festivals we will involve the children in sports, and have them out of the street. This is confirmed by statistics — in Krasnodar in 2017 the interest of young people in sports increased significantly and the number of children in the junior sports schools grew by times. The motto "In a healthy body — healthy spirit" is relevant today," emphasized Dmitry Pirog.
