A festive opening of the 11th #winterspartakiadagames took place today at the Ufa Arena sports and concert center in Ufa. Attending the ceremony were Valery Golubev, Management Committee Deputy Chairman, Elena Kasyan, Department Head, #gazprom; Rustem Mardanov, Prime Minister of the Bashkortostan Republic and Shamil Sharipov, Director General of Gazprom Transgaz #ufa.26 adult and 10 children's teams will take part in the #competition. They represent 26 subsidiaries of Gazprom from #russia, Republic of Belarus and, for the first time, from the Republic of Armenia. The Spartakiada Games will last seven days and close on February 18.

There will be 138 sets of medals up for grabs in six sports: skiing, basketball, volleyball, mini-football, table tennis and shooting. The week-long #event will take place in eight different venues of Ufa.

Gazprom Transgaz #ufa will be the host of the #gazprom Spartakiada Games for the first time.

Alexey Miller, Chairman of the #gazprom Management Committee, sent a message of greetings to the participants and guests of the Spartakiada Games. “It is especially pleasing to note that our competitions go beyond the boundaries of just a corporate #event. As part of the Spartakiada Games, an open regional ski festival will be held for physically challenged children. This obviously demonstrates that sports is open to everyone and that persistence and faith in a dream are able to overcome any obstacles,” the message runs.
