Vladimir Putin extended greetings to amateur and professional athletes and all sports and fitness professionals on Sports and Fitness Day.
The message reads, in part:
“Physical fitness and sports hold profound importance in our society as enduring moral values. Since ancient times, Russia has been home to grand competitive games – ice battles, martial arts contests, and individual sparring competitions – where participants showcased courage, daring, skill, and resilience. Today, we proudly carry forward these traditions. Our athletes, defending the nation’s honour on the global stage, cement Russia’s standing as a leading sports power through their extraordinary achievements.
Moving forward, we must prioritise building accessible, convenient, and high-quality sports infrastructure and promoting fitness and health-boosting initiatives for all ages, fostering youth and family sports while supporting the health of our elders. Equally vital is strengthening our system of care and rehabilitation for veterans of the special military operation.”
