66 thousand ski lovers in Chuvashia started at Ski Track of Russia

The main ski start of the Ski Track of Russia project was held in Cheboksary and brought together 1,700 participants. At the same time, winter sports festivals also began in all 26 districts. In the capital, the first to get on the ski track and run their race were the heads of departments and authorities, followed by race participants from ministries, enterprise teams and sports veterans of the republic. But at the end of the winter sports festival, professional athletes took to the ski track and showed how distances of 5 and 10 kilometers are ideally overcome.

The winners received awards and memorable prizes, but perhaps the most touching part of the award ceremony was the honoring of the youngest participant in the Russian Ski Track in Chuvashia – Lev Kornilov, he is 3 and a half years old. And Valery Semenovich Gavrilov proved his loyalty to the sport “for a long time” by starting at the age of 78!
