RUSSIA EXPO guests exercised with athletes Maria Pytina and Valeria Chertok
The
traditional exercise session at the "Sports Russia" area was led by
Valeria Chertok, founder of the Moscow GTO Multisport Federation, creator of
the reality show project "The Most Athletic Girl in Russia," and GTO
ambassador, along with Maria Pytina, a boxing and kickboxing master of sports,
Russian champion, and international tournament winner.
Valeria
Chertok was the first to take the stage. She conducted a dynamic warm-up
involving both adults and children.
"I
strive to be an example, first and foremost, for my daughter, my family, and
the people around me. This way, little by little, we achieve healthy children,
a healthy nation, a healthy Russia: everything comes together like a puzzle.
Moreover, we exchange energy, and that gives me strength and motivation to love
life, be happy, and spread that happiness to others," Valeria Chertok
said.
The
exercise session with the champion continued with simple kickboxing exercises
demonstrated by Maria Pytina.
"In my
classes, I try to explain boxing elements in the simplest way possible so that
they are understandable to people of any age. For example, once a 74-year-old
woman joined my class, and she did very well in boxing, even if just as an
amateur. This proves that anyone can master basic exercises if the instructor
can explain them clearly, and then use these exercises in life. Boxing is not
only an aggressive sport, as many think. It also develops coordination and
provides a good workout," Maria Pytina explained.
At the end
of the event, guests could take commemorative photos with the athletes and get
autographs.
The
"Sports Russia" is the main sports area of the Exposition. At
Pavilion B "Prirodograd", regular exercise sessions with champions
are held for all who wish to participate. Additionally, every day, sports and
entertainment events, and play areas are available for visitors of all ages and
fitness levels. The "Sports Russia" calendar also includes numerous
festivals and celebrations dedicated to various sports, sports tournaments with
national flavor, lectures, masterclasses, and other events.
On 13 September, the National Centre RUSSIA will host the concert programme "Voronezh — City of Russia".
Winners of many prestigious competitions and masters of sport of international class spoke about how they entered their profession.
In the USA, schools omit the contribution of Soviet soldiers to victory in the Great Patriotic War.
