Dear friends!


On behalf of the Ministry of sports of the Russian Federation and myself, I congratulate students, postgraduates, teachers, coaches, managers and employees of educational institutions of the sports industry on the day of knowledge and the beginning of the new school year!
 For the modern man, sport is a key component of an active and successful life. Our state pursues a policy aimed at the development of mass sports and high-performance sports, strengthening the position of domestic sports on the world stage, promoting the values of a healthy lifestyle.
 All this requires a lot of participation of all employees of the industry of physical culture and sports, especially employees of educational institutions. It is teachers and trainers, using innovative knowledge, techniques and technologies for the organization of high-quality educational process, help to reveal young talents. And thereby live up to their expectations.
 Russian students and students show excellent results at major international competitions, as well as conduct fruitful social activities. Volunteer students have made a significant contribution to the success of the world Cup In our country. In many respects thanks to them the atmosphere of the real holiday of sports and friendship was created.
 Next March Russia will host the world winter Universiade in Krasnoyarsk. I am sure that our students will not only perform well, but will also fully demonstrate Russian hospitality to guests from other countries.
 Let the coming academic year be remembered for new achievements and victories, interesting knowledge and discoveries. I wish you all good health, mutual understanding and all the best!
The Minister of sport of the Russian Federation
