Фонд Росконгресс намерен развивать спортивные проекты в онлайн-форматах

A review of online workouts prepared by co-organizers and partners of economic forums’ sporting programmes, sports and showbusiness stars is now available on the official website of the Roscongress Foundation. World Class fitness clubs and other industry representatives have shared trending methods. Now users of roscongress.org website have the opportunity to explore and find interesting workouts and keep on training while being self-isolated.

This initiative is completely in line with the urge expressed by President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Thomas Bach: «Stay home, stay active, stay strong, stay healthy and come on!», which was backed by many renowned sportsmen who demonstrated how to work out at home.

The Roscongress Foundation plans to further develop online sports formats.

«The Roscongress Foundation’s sporting projects are going online. Shortly we are going to present new sports challenges and workouts, as well as a business programme devoted to the functioning of sports industry during the pandemic. Apart from that, we are going to regularly publish a digest to inform our friends, partners and participants of the sports industry market about recent trends in sports economy,» said Deputy CEO of the Roscongress Foundation Georgy Bryusov.

Sport and fitness have been included in the Government’s list of the most affected industries due to the coronavirus. All sports competitions on the territory of the Russian Federation have been suspended since 18 March 2020 by a ministerial order. Starting 23 March, fitness clubs and other sports facilities providing services to people have been closed.

In that context, any informational
support matters, whether that be setting up discussion platforms for finding working
solutions to overcome the current crisis or promoting a healthy lifestyle in self-isolation.
