Smolensk will host the All-Russian basketball competition in wheelchairs

On October 27 and 28, the regional center for the sixth time will become a platform for major basketball competitions in 5x5 wheelchairs. This year, the tournament received a new status - All-Russian, which emphasizes the high level of organization in the region and the importance of the event for the development of adaptive sports in Russia.

Six teams from different parts of the country will meet on the parquet of the Jubilee Sports Palace:

"Caspian" (Makhachkala);

Kolos (Stavropol);

The Eagles;

"Spartak" (Moscow region);

Phoenix (Smolensk);

"Fortress" (Smolensk).

Wheelchair basketball is a sport that requires not only tremendous physical strength and endurance, but also high tactical training, lightning speed and impeccable team interaction. Every match here is an intense fight until the last seconds and a real demonstration of strength of spirit.

Smolyans invite fans to come to the Jubilee Sports Palace to personally support the athletes and witness a bright sports holiday.

On October 9, a truly absurd and tense situation developed in Russian sports. On the one hand, the international federations are lifting discriminatory restrictions one by one. On the other hand, host countries are finding ways to keep our athletes out of competitions using a banal bureaucracy. A good example is the Russian gymnastics team, which right now risks losing its chance at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
