ROC scholarship - "academicians" 
The Russian Olympic Committee named 23 students and postgraduates from universities and research institutes of physical culture who will receive ROC scholarships in the 2020-2021 academic year. Among the "academicians" fellows are Anastasia Gorshenina and Maria Sedunova.
ROC scholarships are awarded in accordance with the proposals of academic councils of universities to students who successfully combine academic and scientific activities with participation in the promotion of the Olympic movement and the dissemination of Olympic knowledge.
Second-year master's student Anastasia Gorshenina, the head of her group, became interested in science in the second year, and since then has annually participated in conferences of different levels. After entering the master's program, Anastasia, at the suggestion of her supervisor, declared for participation in the regional stage of the Olympic scientific session and entered the all-Russian round. Performed in Moscow very successfully, entering the top 10 finalists.
Anastasia combines her research activities with her work at the Department of theory and methodology of physical culture and sports, but this does not prevent her from actively participating in University events aimed at promoting the Olympic movement. In particular, Gorshenina helps with the organization of the annual team competition "Experts of Olympism", which the Academy holds as part of the Olympic session.
By the way, the author of the questions for the competition "Experts of Olympism" - graduate student Maria Sedunova, candidate for master of sports in wrestling on belts, "bronze" medalist of the world championship, today continues to promote Olympic values, already as a teacher and scientist. 11 scientific publications of Maria, 4 of which contain the scientific results of her dissertation research, are published both in scientific journals reviewed by the higher school of Economics and in collections of materials of scientific conferences of various levels.
However, even on sports grounds, Maria is still a role model. As part of the volleyball team of University teachers, it annually takes part in the Republican sports Contest of universities.
