"As our President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin said, the main gold of our country is people. And you, our dear athletes, confirm this. We are proud of your victories and achievements as our own. You have repeatedly proved to the whole world that nothing is impossible and that Russia is a truly sporting power", — said Maxim Dreval, Director General of the Russian Society "Knowledge".
In our country a lot of attention is paid to physical culture, sports, sports of highest achievements. This was stated by Stanislav Pozdnyakov, 4-time Olympic champion, 10-time world champion, 13-time European saber fencing champion, President of the Russian Olympic Committee.
"Undoubtedly, one of the main tasks is to educate a new generation of Russian athletes, to form new winning traditions, including through the successes and achievements of previous generations of Soviet and Russian athletes. This is a very important aspect, and I am grateful to the organizers for having such an honorable mission in our sports industry. It is a great honor for me to hand over my medal to the exposition", — said Stanislav Pozdnyakov.
