In 2024, a Fencing Center will appear in the capital of Bashkiria. The Minister of Sports RB Ruslan Khabibov told about this at the round table “We Are Together. Sports”.

“We will definitely build it,” the Minister said, responding to the speech of the Olympic champion in Tokyo Adelina Zagidullina.
