– The All-Russian Society “Dynamo” celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. This is a significant date, and a long way has been accomplished during this time. To date, the regional organization has about 7,000 active members. I would like to wish all the athletes and especially the Dynamo players development, success and new records. In honor of this event, all regional organizations of Dynamo organize a sports contest. Today we had our first competition – cross-country skiing. As part of the Spartakiad, competitions in 11 sports will be held throughout the year. In addition to cross-country skiing, Dynamo will compete in sambo, basketball, volleyball, shooting from military weapons, chess and other disciplines. The results of the Olympics will be summed up in December, – said Dmitry Fedorov, deputy chairman of the regional organization “Dynamo”.

In addition to the Spartakiad this year, the Dynamo islanders plan to hold a number of traditional events. Among them are two regional cross-country skiing competitions – “Young Dynamo” for the prizes of the USSR Master of Sports Anna Ermakova and the memory of Dynamo veteran Vasily Komyshev, as well as a chess tournament for children and adults dedicated to the Defender of the Fatherland Day.
