Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko congratulates Penza regional sports committee

By
Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko visited Burtasy Palace of Sports, Penza, yesterday and congratulated the regional leadership on its management of sports in the region. The facility houses both a swimming pool and gymnasium. 2012 Olympic medallist and 2013 European Vault Champion Denis Ablyazin has his home in Penza and trains at this school under coach Valeri Starkin.

Sports Minister Mutko meats with local dignitaries and athletes at Burtasy Palace of Sports, Penza, host to the upcoming Russia Cup gymnastics competition (begins 15th August)
The School is the regular base for national competitions such as the Russia Cup and Russian Championships. As mentioned in a recent RRG report, this is made possible by the investment of the local government, who allow the RGF to use the facility free of charge.

Mascot of Spartakiade
Chairman of the regional Sports Committee, Artur Panteleev, noted that following on from the European Championships (held in Moscow this spring) the School was rewarded with three new sets of equipment which will be installed soon.  Vitaly Mutko mentioned that a multi-sports competition for Sports Schools (Spartakiade) has taken place in the region and that the ability to stage such an event depended on the good organisation of the local leaders.  (Results of the competition are available by clicking on the word ŠµŃŃ‚ŃŒ in the right hand column of this page.)

The Russian Government regularly promotes its commitment to sport through publicity such as this.  All members of the Russian national teams at the Universiade received letters of congratulation from President Vladimir Putin.  Much of the regional development ongoing is paid for by Bank VTB and the Russian federal government.  In Penza local government involvement is also important.
