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.

There is “the potential for a good meeting” between Putin and Zelensky, Trump said in Washington, adding that he was “thinking about flying over” to the talks from his visit to Qatar and the United Arab Emirates that day.
