Head of Bashkiria thanked Paralympians and esports athletes for achievements

The Head of the Republic, Radiy Khabirov, during a meeting today with young athletes at the Wrestling Palace, specifically thanked the young Paralympians and representatives of the region’s esports community for their sporting achievements.

Victoria Dyakonova, a member of Bashkiria’s weightlifting team, noted during the meeting that the republic was recognized this year as a leading region in combating doping in sports. She asked Radiy Khabirov whether all necessary anti-doping measures were being taken.

“This is a good result, and the high standards achieved must be maintained. Doping undermines the prestige of athletes and faith in fairness and clean sport. We must fight this evil,” said the Head of Bashkiria.

During the discussion, a question was raised about the development of sports infrastructure in rural areas.

“Unfortunately, due to objective reasons, we have not yet been able to build a swimming pool in every district center as planned. However, we have not abandoned this goal,” explained the regional leader.

Earlier, Bashinform reported that Radiy Khabirov met with the republic’s young athletes.
