On June 15, a traditional mass exercise was held on the main stage of the Exposition. It was held by Ivan Girev, swimmer, silver medalist of the Olympic Games and world championships, European champion, and Mark Petrovsky, Russian and world boxing champion. The training was held within the framework of the project "Marathon of Exercises" of the public movement "Healthy Fatherland". The organizers are the RUSSIA EXPO and the All-Russian Public Movement "Healthy Fatherland".

The Sakhalin, Irkutsk, Kaliningrad, Kaluga and Leningrad regions, as well as the Kamchatka region and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Area joined the exercise via video link. Residents of these regions took to the streets and squares of the cities and performed exercises, joining the "Marathon of Exercises" at the International RUSSIA EXPO.

"The main feeling I experienced after the exercise session is that today I gave people a charge of vigor, which will be enough for some people for the rest of the day, and for others — even for a longer time. It could have encouraged people to start exercising. Holding mass exercises is a wonderful initiative. It is great that they are held on such a large site," said Ivan Girev.

"At such exercises people get acquainted with a lot of different athletes — and this is a big step in the development of children's sports. They need to be held more, en masse — and then people will bring their children to sports. Healthy strong youth is a strong Russia," Mark Petrovsky added.

At the end of the training, the athletes were presented with a special limited-edition medal "Sports Russia". It can be received by every visitor to the Exposition. On June 29, those who collected five autographs of the athletes will receive their own medal.

Within the framework of cooperation, the RUSSIA EXPO and the All-Russian Public Movement "Healthy Fatherland" organize a series of mass events. Warm-ups with the participation of national and world sports stars take place on the Main Street Stage of the Exposition.
