“Someone will think 50,000 rubles for first place is ridiculous, but that was not the case before.” Lightweight athlete Apachkina – about prize money at domestic competitions

Athlete Svetlana Aplachkina saidChampionship on prize money at national national competitions.

— This year, the situation has improved with the organization of the Grand Prix series and the prize fund. Someone will probably find the amount of 50,000 rubles for first place ridiculous, but before that it was not.

For example, the organizers of the Abramov Memorial in the Moscow region have always provided a prize fund, and at other similar competitions we have organized medals and diplomas. What can I say, if not all regions send athletes even to the Russian Cup?! If you want to run away – at your own expense, – said Apachkina.

The athlete is the champion of Russia in the 1500 and 5000 meters.
