В Тбилиси состоялось открытие Европейского юношеского Олимпийского летнего фестиваля

В воскресенье вечером в Тбилиси, на стадионе Месхи, состоялась церемония открытия шестидневного Европейского молодежного олимпийского фестиваля, крупнейшего спортивного события когда-либо проводимого в Грузии.

Тбилиси выиграл право проведения игр для 14-18-летних спортсменов в 2010 году, опередив чешский город Брно.

Более 3200 спортсменов из 50 стран соревнуются в девяти видах спорта - спортивная гимнастика, легкая атлетика, баскетбол, велогонки, гандбол, дзюдо, плавание, теннис и волейбол.

Соревнования будут проходить на десяти площадках. Пять из них - плавательный бассейн, гимнастический зал, площакди для волейбола и легкой атлетике, а также теннисные корты - все это недавно построенные комплексы, некоторые из них реконструированные.

Israeli Cabinet ministers approved the plan in an early morning vote, hours after the Israeli military chief said the army was calling up tens of thousands of reserve soldiers.
