Russian BMX team head coach Pavel Kostyukov told that more and more competitions in the sport are taking place in the Urals, but the Russian championship is taking place for the first time. .
The Russian BMX Freestyle Championship was held in Yekaterinburg. This tournament was held on the site of the RCC Fest and was part of the events dedicated to the 300th anniversary of the city. The titles of champions of Russia were won by Irek Rizaev and Ekaterina Kruglova.
– Before that, neither Yekaterinburg nor the Urals as a whole had ever hosted the Russian BMX freestyle championship. The organizers had proposed these dates last year, so they were preparing the championship as planned.
— Do you like your tournament to be part of a big event?
– It’s an interesting format. We caught up with the RCC academy last year, when in June they held an all-Russian competition with millions of covers on social media. In the fall of 2022, together with them, we organized the Russian Metro Championship in Chelyabinsk, and we have planned the same event this year. And on September 8, the day of the city festival, we will also organize an event.
Which park was used for the competition?
– Local. Made in the Urals. Andrey Belov, the head coach of the Sverdlovsk region team, takes an active position. Trains the BMX team and the freestylers. Last year, the team from the Sverdlovsk region won the Youth Spartakiad in the discipline of freestyle.
– The main event here in Yekaterinburg is now the International University Sports Festival. Why is your species not in the program?
“We are discussing its inclusion in the Gymnasium. We will definitely go and develop in this direction,” Kostyukov told .
