Karina
Cherevan, sambo World Cup champion and ambassador of the Exposition's sport
program, held the regular sports warm-up of the "Marathon of
Exercises" by the Healthy Fatherland movement at the RUSSIA EXPO.
The
Astrakhan, Belgorod and Leningrad regions joined the exercise via video link.
"I
believe that such events are very important. Personally, I can immediately see
the real live emotions of the exercising participants, feel the energy of
people. For me it is just worth its weight in gold," said Karina Cherevan.
Speaking
about how to overcome difficulties in achieving sports records, the champion
noted that the main one is laziness. It is important to defeat it in oneself,
and then any achievements will be within one's reach.
Karina
Cherevan is a Merited Master of Sport of Russia in sambo, world champion,
winner of the World and European Cup, silver medalist of the first All-Russian
tournament in combat sambo among women. She is also a Master of Sport of Russia
in judo and jiu-jitsu.
Nina
Ivashkina, Minister of Physical Education and Sport of the Astrakhan region,
noted during the teleconference that hundreds of people gathered in the center
of Astrakhan, including Olympic champions: "The Astrakhan region is very
happy to join this amazing marathon of exercises at the RUSSIA EXPO. I would
like to wish everyone a good mood, and for sport and physical culture to be the
norm of our lives always, not just on occasion."
The
training session was the fourth in the framework of the "Marathon of
Exercises at the RUSSIA EXPO" - a series of public events organized
jointly with the All-Russian Public Movement "Healthy Fatherland". It
was opened by an exercise on April 20, conducted by Olympic champion Nikita
Nagorny. It became the largest mass exercise in Russia - 5,773 people performed
exercises at the same time. On May 4, the training session was held by Russian
professional boxer, Merited Master of Sport of Russia, current WBA Gold
champion Fedor Chudinov. Russian and world sports stars hold warm-up sessions
for the guests of the Exposition every Saturday on the Main Stage.
At the end
of the workout, Karina Cherevan was presented with a special limited edition
Sports Russia medal. Any visitor of the Exposition can get such an award. To do
this, you need to come to the exercise sessions, communicate with the athletes
and take autographs. The guests who collected eight different autographs will
receive their own Sports Russia medal on July 6. The participants of the
exercises also got Karina's autograph, took selfies with her and received
branded bracelets of the Healthy Fatherland movement.
In just four days, the newlyweds said, they managed to see so much that it felt as if they had travelled across different parts of the country.
On 7 October, as part of the Open Dialogue, an expert session "New Economy: Competition for Positive Development" will take place.
