The annual Spartakiad of civil servants in 2026 has started in Tatarstan. The first stage of the competition was the traditional ski race, which took place last weekend at the ski and biathlon complex in Mirny village .
Among the participants of the competition were employees of the Ministry of justice of the Republic of Tatarstan, who as in previous years, demonstrated excellent athletic training. In total, about 90 athletes from various government departments of the region came to the start of the ski run.
The men competed at a distance of 3 kilometers, and the women covered a distance of 1 kilometer. Despite the weather conditions, the participants showed high results.
«The weather conditions tested our strength – heavy snowfall significantly complicated the route. But it is precisely in such situations that the real character of civil servants manifests itself. We did our best and are very pleased with our results», - Aidar Shakirov, a representative of the Ministry's team, shared his impressions.
The Spartakiad will continue until the end of the year and will include competitions in various sports. For example, a chess tournament awaits civil servants in march.
