— On behalf of the Russian Olympic Committee, I welcome everyone to the opening of the Second International Winter Games “Children of Asia”. For 10 days, our athletes will compete in excellent conditions, in magnificent sports facilities in Kuzbass. I am sure that they will appreciate the sports infrastructure of the region, and the athletes will not only take away a multitude of medals from different denominations, but also take away new acquaintances and friends in their hearts, and this is the most important to these games.
Of course, the great Olympic principles – friendship, the pursuit of excellence and respect for the adversary – are fundamental for every Olympian. After the competition, you will leave as one big Olympic family. I would like to thank the Asian Children’s International Committee and the Games Organizing Committee for their cautious approach to youth sports. Let’s all be together, as the founder of the modern Olympic movement Pierre de Coubertin wanted, at least a little, but through sport we will make this world a better place. Good luck! said Pozdnyakov.
