On July 7, the family festival "Sport for Everyone" was held at the International RUSSIA EXPO. At the "Sports Russia" venue, there were mass exercise sessions, themed masterclasses, and quizzes dedicated to sports.

"Today, we are holding our family festival "Sport for Everyone" together with the Ministry of Sports and Lokomotiv. More than one hundred families registered for the festival, but everyone is welcome to participate — you can try out tabletop games like hockey and football. You can try your hand at golf, and thrill-seekers can even learn to surf," said Anastasia Zvyagina, Deputy Director General of the RUSSIA EXPO.

She reminded that the sports program at the Exposition started at the request of visitors and began with the largest mass exercise session — with 5,773 participants. Overall, more than 100,000 people have participated in the sporting events at the Exposition.

Such festivals not only energize but also instill family sports habits, noted Nadezhda Petrova, a finalist in Grand Slam tournaments in doubles, bronze medalist at the London Olympics in doubles, and the third-ranked player in the world in both singles and doubles. She conducted a mass exercise session for the visitors.

"Of course, sports should be part of every family. In our country, a lot of attention is paid to family values, as well as the development of physical culture and sports. This positive harmony allows a child to develop properly — including building character. Moreover, sports are a way for families to come together and spend quality time," said Nadezhda Petrova.

For festival guests, platforms of Russian sports federations were organized. In particular, the Surfing Federation presented surf trainers and balance boards used by athletes for training. The Golf Association held masterclasses on the game. Additionally, professional arm wrestlers performed for visitors. At the Russian physical culture and sports society Lokomotiv"station, guests played panna football and participated in sword fighting masterclasses. Mascots from Moscow and Moscow region sports teams — Dynamo, CSKA, Lokomotiv, Sparta&K and student sports clubs Alliance, REU and Senator — also participated in the festival.

During the festival, the family contest "My Family — My Team" took place, where participants took part in quizzes and completed a sports quest. Additionally, guests enjoyed the "Intuition" show, where they guessed interesting facts about mascots and their teams. Throughout the day, there were sports-dance flash mobs at the venue.
