Rosneft held a large-scale competition for its employees in the Moscow region city of Shchyolkovo to pass the standards of the All-Russian physical culture and sports complex “Ready for Labor and Defense” (GTO). The company dedicated the competition to the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.
The event was attended by about 700 amateur athletes from 66 of the Company’s enterprises from all over the country, as well as from the central management office.
Over the course of two days, participants had to demonstrate their strength, endurance, and flexibility. Athletes could pass GTO standards in 13 disciplines, including short and long-distance running, long jumps, bends, pull-ups, push-ups, kettlebell snatches, and shooting.
Participants in the GTO standards were divided into age groups and difficulty levels. Many employees did not limit themselves to the minimum requirements for passing the standards when performing exercises – they set personal records and also tried to show the best result among all athletes. Thus, the record for the number of push-ups among women this year was 140 times, among men – 166 times.
The event also included functional all-round competitions, which have become especially popular among employees this year. The number of teams has almost doubled compared to last year’s competitions – up to 73 teams versus 40 in 2024. The total number of participants was 213 people.
On the first day of the competition, teams of three completed six events: rowing, kettlebell push, medicine ball throw, team pull-up, rope jumping, and farmer’s walk. On the second day, athletes competed for victory in the game “Sniper” and a mixed running relay of different distances.
The teams were divided into four age categories: 18-29, 30-39, 40-49 and 50-59. Seven teams applied for the last one. The best in the all-around were the teams RN-BashNIPIneft (18-29), Udmurtneft (categories 30-39 and 40-49) and RN-Uvatneftegaz (50-59).
The winners of the competition were awarded diplomas, cups and certificates. Sergei Fedorov, a three-time world hockey champion, silver and bronze medalist of the Olympic Games, three-time USSR champion, three-time Stanley Cup winner and two-time Gagarin Cup winner as the head coach of CSKA, took part in the award ceremony.
Support for mass sports is one of Rosneft’s key priorities. The Company’s athletes take part in all major mass sports competitions, winning prizes. Rosneft supports amateur sports and carries out large-scale work to popularize a healthy lifestyle both among its employees and among the population in the regions where it operates.
As part of the corporate sports and health movement “Energy of Life”, employees regularly engage in sports and compete in various sports disciplines. In 2024, almost 128 thousand employees of the Company engaged in sports as part of the “Energy of Life” movement. At the same time, more than 92 thousand employees took part in competitions in various sports.
