In the morning they will be met at the Moscow station, then Masha and the Bear will communicate with the residents of the city and arrange a photo session with them. Next, the official mascots of the Games will go to see the sights of the city and after that they will arrive at Divo-ostrov, where they will be presented with passports of the Petersburgers.

The event, which was attended by the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Russia in Austria Sergey Nechayev, discussed the plans and prospects of the various projects. Special attention was paid to SAMBO and the development of the Russian sport in the country. It was decided to focus on the founding of the VARS Sports Committee based on the Austrian SAMBO Federation under the leadership of Svetlana Noybauer-Sokolik. Details of the project will be discussed in the future, but at the last meeting various talks were held, in particular, Chairman of the VARS Teachers’ Council Ms. Litvinenko came into contact with associate professor of the Institute of Physical Education, trainer and consultant of the Austrian SAMBO Federation Mr. Trufanov. It is interesting that at the end of the conference young SAMBO athletes who have already become “stars” of the Austrian SAMBO performed before its members.
