Students of the Volga Region University of Sport and Tourism became the winners of the All-Russian Fitness Aerobics Competition.
The large-scale competition, which brought together more than 1,100 participants from 21 regions of Russia, ended last weekend in Kazan. The athletes fought for medals in 12 disciplines in all age categories, from the youngest - 5-7 years old, to seniors - over 35 years old.
Povolzhsky University students Anastasia Mironova and Alsu Sharipova, acting as part of the national team of the Republic of Tatarstan, won bronze medals in the aerobics discipline, losing to teams from Moscow and St. Petersburg.
According to the team coach Ekaterina Yachmeneva, the successful performance allowed them to qualify for the Russian Cup, which will be held in early November in Moscow.
"It was the first serious start after the summer holidays. The girls were at the training camp and now we are getting into shape, - says Ekaterina Yachmeneva. - The performance was worthy and received a positive feedback from the judges. Now we will continue to prepare for the Cup of Russia. Our task is to hone our performances from start to start. This is what we are working on. We get positive emotions from our successes and work with pleasure".
