The event took place as part of the XII International Sports Forum “Russia – Sports Power”, which is taking place in Ufa from October 17 to 19. The ceremony was also attended by the President of the Russian Fencing Federation Ilgar Mamedov and the Acting Prime Minister of the Government of Bashkortostan Andrey Nazarov.
“I am glad to welcome you to the opening of the arena, where competitions in this romantic, but incredibly useful and very important for our country sport will be held. A huge number of boys and girls, inspired by the victories of our great athletes, will definitely come here to train, and new stars will appear on the sports horizon of our country. It is symbolic that the opening is taking place in the year of the 450th anniversary of Ufa and just at the time when the forum “Russia – a Sports Power” is taking place in the capital of Bashkortostan,” the Deputy Prime Minister addressed the participants.
Dmitry Chernyshenko recalled that our country has given the world a huge number of talents.
“All this is happening thanks to the policy and attitude towards sports of President Vladimir Putin, who is an athlete himself and sets a very high bar for us. Here I would also like to note and thank the leadership of the republic – Radiy Faritovich Khabirov, who pays great attention to the development of this sphere in the region. There are more than 13 thousand sports facilities in the region, and their number continues to increase. The level of sports equipment in the republic is one of the highest in the country – 74.5%,” he noted.
The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that the rate of population involvement in regular sports activities exceeds the national average. More than 2 million residents of Bashkortostan regularly engage in sports due to the fact that the republic has the infrastructure.
“I want everyone to think once again about a healthy lifestyle on this festive day and help the leadership of the republic and the entire country fulfill the order given by the President: so that 70% of our residents regularly engage in sports,” urged Dmitry Chernyshenko.
The new fencing palace includes 28 fencing lanes, a multi-purpose hall with stands for 373 spectators, specialized and training halls, warm-up and recovery areas, as well as coaching and refereeing rooms. The palace is equipped with the latest refereeing systems and electronics for recording results, which will allow competitions of the highest level to be held.
At the opening ceremony of the center, Andrei Nazarov emphasized that the region had been preparing for several years for an important sporting event for the entire country – the international forum “Russia – a Sports Power”.
“Our athletes show excellent results, achieving high achievements in the international arenas. The entire international and Russian arena knows the Bashkir Olympic fencers. I am sure that the modern Fencing Center will become a real springboard for new sporting achievements that will glorify Russia and Bashkortostan in the world arena,” the acting Prime Minister of the Government of Bashkortostan greeted the guests and athletes at the ceremonial event.
The first international fencing competition “Sabre of Salavat” has started in the new palace. About 120 athletes from Russia, Belarus and Uzbekistan will take part in individual competitions among juniors under 21, individual competitions among juniors under 24 and team competitions under 24.
