The Russian Table Tennis Championship ended in Orenburg at the end of March. Arina Slautina, a student of Volga Region University, managed to win the third place in the individual competition.

"Arina is an experienced athlete who has taken part in national championships seven times," Pavel Galanov, teacher of the Department of Theory and Methodology of Tennis and Badminton, Master of Sport of Russia, commented. - To advance from the group to the main draw was already a small victory. But the most important thing happened afterwards: one victory after another over the strongest representatives of women's table tennis from different regions: Olga Vishnyakova from St. Petersburg, Yana Noskova, and Anastasia Shabanova from Moscow. In the semi-finals, Arina confidently imposed herself on the future champion Elisabeth Abrahamyan, who later confessed that the game against Slautina was the hardest test for her during the whole tournament.
