The first ‘Healthy Environment’ of the new academic year included not only lectures and activities for students, but also competitions among staff and teaching staff. The Rector's Cup Spartakiade was held at the stadium of the Burevestnik Universal Sports Complex, and five teams of four people took part.

The team of Associate Professor Lyubov Botova, including Anastasia Nevmyvaka, Yedviga Isanaeva, Sergey Borovik and Andrey Brovkin, won the 4x100 metres relay race. The winners' time was 55.6 seconds.

‘Silver’ won the team of Vice-Rector for Administrative Work, Social Development and Youth Policy Natalia Grechannikova, and “bronze” - the team of Associate Professor Nail Fazleyev.

‘Before the race I felt adrenaline. It scared me off at first, because I was so nervous, because in the relay race you are responsible for the team, not just for yourself,’ said Pavel Zheleznyak, whose team won silver, losing to the winners by 2.1 seconds. - But if there is adrenaline, there is also a fighting spirit.
