“RSMU annual Ski Festival has become an enjoyable winter event. More and more University workers and students participate in it every year. There were 50 of us two years ago and there are 150 of us here today! Let this tradition grow and let us create new ones in the year of the 75th RSMU`s anniversary” – rector Roman Kalinin greeted the participants at the sports camp “Zdorov’e”.

Deputy Minister of Physical Culture and Sports of Ryazan Region Pavel Gamzin also made a welcoming speech and put emphasis upon the fact that talking or reading about health won`t ever make one healthy. The only thing that helps is working out and taking part in sport events.

 There were two tracks this year: one for those who ran with the record of the time, and the other for those who chose free style skiing. There were first-timers as well as experienced skiers among participants. Students from India, Lebanon, South Africa, Cameroon, Morocco and Tunisia had seemed pretty confident in skiing by the end of the track despite the lack of practice.
