RUDN construction team is the champion of Moscow in mini-football and table tennis
“I have been participating in the Spartakiad for the third year now. I play table tennis. Before that, he reached the final two years in a row, but could not beat his opponent. This time I took the tournament seriously and began to prepare several months in advance — I played on different sites with guys of different levels of athletic training. When I reached the finals and defeated all my opponents, I realized: my goal was achieved, and the mission was finally completed,” Azizbek Turgunbekov, student at the Agricultural and Technological Institute from Kyrgyzstan.
“Last year we also participated in the Spartakiad, but then we took a second place in mini-football. This time our goal was higher — to take the cup, which we did! I am glad that I was able to meet members of other construction teams. We had real fun together!” — Christian Rüstisch Stephen Guetanis, philology student from the Congo.
“It was an amazing competition! There were 20 teams in the mini-football tournament. We played 4 games and took an honorable first place! During all the matches I scored several goals! It’s unforgettable!” — Gardy Prophet, engineering student from Haiti.
RUDN construction team “Meridian of Friendship” has been participating in the Moscow Construction Team Spartakiad since 2019. During this time, the team has repeatedly won prizes in various sports, including arm wrestling, women’s basketball, mini-football and table tennis.
On a Sunday winter day at the exhibition named “Russia” RUDN University gathered students, partners, colleagues, and organized lectures under the title “We are different! We are equal! We are together!” The event took place in Pavilion 57 on the platform of the Russian Society “Znanie”. And on this day the hall was jam-packed.
