The Belarus Cup in Trampoline Gymnastics has started in Vitebsk
As emphasized by the Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Council of Deputies, Dmitry Demidov, trampoline gymnastics is a landmark sport for Vitebsk. The high results shown by the trainees of the trampoline gymnastics school are a source of pride not only for the region but for the entire country.
- Our athletes prove that nothing is impossible, - said Dmitry Demidov. - They set high goals for themselves and achieve them. An example of this is the victories of our compatriots at the Olympic Games and other major international competitions. A distinctive feature of the Belarus Cup is that it features both trampolinists who are taking their first steps in this sport and renowned athletes. I wish everyone high results, and I urge young trampolinists to take an example from the champions. So that beginners, looking at the skilled athletes, understand that hard work helps to achieve great heights.
The head of the regional council of deputies also noted that trampoline gymnastics is a spectacular sport. After all, athletes, performing the most complex elements, challenge the laws of gravity with their skill.
During the solemn opening ceremony, Dmitry Demidov presented honorary diplomas of the Regional Council of Deputies to the head coach of the national trampoline gymnastics team Olga Vlasova and two-time Olympic champion Ivan Litvinovich.
