Kaluga region for the eighth time hosts the Russian Billiards Championship

For leadership in Kaluga will compete more than 100 strongest athletes from 30 regions of Russia. Among them are champions and prize-winners of the world championships.

The first symbolic blow at the opening was made by Honorary Citizen of the Kaluga Region Nikolai Ivanovich Almazov.

“The secret of his activity and cheerfulness of spirit readily reveals: in many respects this is due to billiard sports. As you will not believe: in a year and a little - the centenary, - said the Governor Vladislav Shapsha.

He added that more than one and a half thousand people are engaged in billiard sports in our region.

As reported by “MK in Kaluga” earlier, the Kaluga residents were told what to do with the money on Nicodemus day.
