Congratulations to athletes, sportspeople, coaches and people working in the sports and fitness sector

Vladimir Putin congratulated athletes, sportspeople, coaches and people working in the sports and fitness sector on Sportsman’s Day.

The President said, in particular, in his message:

“This wonderful holiday symbolises the rich sporting traditions of which our country is justifiably proud. Russia has always made sports and fitness a national priority. It is mass sport that has nurtured our outstanding constellation of famous champions and forged their characters and will. This year is a special year. We hosted the XXII Winter Olympics with success and Russia’s national team won a record number of medals at these Games. Victories such as this fill us with pride for our country and serve as a reliable beacon for young people.

We are working hard today to develop modern sports infrastructure. We are building new stadiums, ice arenas, training and health centres, and re-equipping school gyms. This makes it possible for people of all ages to be involved in sport and fitness and to preserve and follow a healthy and active way of life.”
