The bright start of the Spartakiad united the company's employees in an atmosphere of excitement and healthy competition.
Bayern Munich launched the main sporting event of the year, the Spartakiad of Friendship between services and divisions. The atmosphere of a real celebration prevailed in the Manege sports complex, bringing together employees, colleagues, friends and families who came to support their favorites.
Among the honored guests of the event were famous athletes, ambassadors of the company – Olympic champion Zaurbek Sidakov, the first Ossetian in the history of the UFC Azamat Bekoev, mixed martial arts fighters Tamerlan Kulaev, Khetag Sabeev and Batraz Sabanov.
Traditionally, the Spartakiad was opened by Bayern CEO Zelimkhan Bitarov. He noted that the Spartakiad is an opportunity for the team to prove themselves in a new role, demonstrating their willingness not only to work, but also to achieve sporting achievements. The head expressed gratitude to the employees who find motivation in sports and to the ambassadors for supporting the event, stressing that the company is proud of their successes.
The Spartakiad was preceded by the passing of the TRP standards, during which the staff showed impressive results, winning 22 gold medals. Push-up masters Georgy Iluridze and Igor Guchmazov, as well as Alan Chedzhemov, who demonstrated incredible flexibility, were particularly admired. The GTO medals were converted into baucoins, which added an additional incentive to the competition.
"Fun starts" became a real explosion of emotions. Under the strict suits and work clothes, gambling children were hiding, ready to plunge headlong into the atmosphere of competition. The participants fell, got up, laughed and supported each other at each stage. Dana Kabaloeva, inspired by the films about Rocky Balboa, demonstrated boxing skills, not inferior to men. Artur Dzgoev, despite his age, gave his best, demonstrating a fighting spirit. Photographer Konstantin Farniev impressed everyone with his speed in the "Big Races", despite his recent birthday. Salima Alborova noted that the Spartakiad is a wonderful tradition that helps to unite the team and makes new acquaintances. Anna Kadieva added that she especially remembered the moment of raising the flag to the Bayern national anthem.
The Legion security team became the winner of the first stage of the competition, justifying its name. Football, basketball and volleyball tournaments are waiting for the participants ahead. The intrigue persists, and Bayern promises to talk about who will lift the coveted cup over their heads in the next news release.
