In Sochi, about 2,000 preschoolers met the GTO standards. The events are held at the resort under the federal project “Sport is the norm of life” of the national project “Demography”. The purpose of the competition is to popularize an active lifestyle and attract all categories and groups of the population to regular physical education and sports.

Director of the city department of physical education and sports Anatoly Miroshnikov noted that the GTO is being popularized among Sochi residents on behalf of the head of the resort, Alexei Kopaygorodsky. According to him, the introduction of the complex starting from kindergarten helps to develop a healthy lifestyle and instills a love of sports from childhood. Young townspeople are charged with positive energy and experience a real competitive spirit. In total, about 2,000 Sochi preschool children passed the GTO standards.

So, in mid-October, 60 kindergarten students from kindergarten No. 86 on Abrikosovaya Street joined the events. Young Sochi residents overcame 5 tests as part of the competition. The guys had to demonstrate their strength in shuttle running, standing long jump with a push with two legs, bending and straightening their arms while lying on the floor, bending forward from a standing position with straight legs.
