Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko took part in the awards ceremony for the winners of the fourth season of the All-Russian contest of sports projects "You're in the Game" at the RUSSIA EXPO. The event was also attended by Oleg Matytsin, Minister of Sport of the Russian Federation, Sofia Malyavina, Director General of the ANO "National Priorities", and other contest experts and guests of honor. The contest is held with the support of the federal project "Sport is the Norm of Life" of the "Demography" national project.

"'You're in the Game' contest is held for the fourth year. The fact that this is a massive movement is evidenced by the number of nominees, because for the entire time of the competition more than 16 thousand applications were submitted, and this year alone the contest received more than 5 thousand applications. This is very important, because the winners are born in competition. And, of course, such role models as Olympic athletes are essential in order to make a decision to connect one's life with an active lifestyle. The federal project "Sport is the Norm of Life", under which the contest is held, is a great tool. But in order to engage in physical training, we need conditions, obviously. The state is doing a lot for this. President Vladimir Putin has set a goal that by 2030 70% of our citizens should regularly engage in physical culture and sports. New sports, unique formats of competitions, as well as infrastructure, equipment and creative ideas — all this is necessary to achieve the goal set by the head of state," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

Together with Olympic silver medalist Evgenia Medvedeva, he also awarded the winner of the Grand Prix of the competition - it was the project "Born in Russia: Sibike — a New Sport" from the Yaroslavl region.

"'You're in the Game' is not just a contest, it is an active educational process that involves new ideas, mutual enrichment and learning from the experience of others. More than 16 thousand projects have been presented over the years, more than 15 million citizens have been involved in sports thanks to your initiatives. This all has a positive impact on the implementation of the federal project "Sport is a Norm of Life" of the national project "Demography". I am glad that absolutely all age categories and social groups participate in the contest. The variety of projects is also inspiring: family sports, running movement, festival movement, television shows. All means are good for us to feel the joy of sports, the joy of communication, in which there are no losers," said Oleg Matytsin.
