World union of knife throwers
Exactly in target!

14th World Championship in knife throwing - march enthusiasts.

25.12.2014

 

When I decided to write this article about the World Cup, the first would like to stick to the classic rules and talk about who participated in the competition and what the results were. But at some point I realized that you need to talk about something else entirely.

 

 

Figures and reports, you can always look at the site Ryazan federation. I also want to talk about the people who prepared this sports festival and its main characters faces. About athletes.

 

It's no secret that this sport has no, nor any state support. Everything rests on the enthusiasm and dedication of its adherents. In spite of the enormous difficulties and financial losses competitions, sport still popularized among the population.

 

I'd like to express my gratitude to the President of the Federation Ryazan knife throwing Spirkin Vladimir Semenovich. For organizing this sporting event. The process of preparation and conduct of the championship almost entirely lay on his shoulders.

 

There are few people who volunteer to take over so not an easy burden. After all, they need to prepare the gym. But also to organize accommodation, meals, entertainment for the tournament. Need to get gifts for the winners, produce medals and certificates. All this is not easy especially in the absence of funding.

 

And then I want to say a few warm words of gratitude to not indifferent people which unselfishly with their strength and capabilities support the development of this sport in our country. Among them, the general director of the trading house "Relight" Guslyakov Kirill.

Having your own small business, he spares no effort and resources to maintaining throwing sports. I would like to thank the knife company «Kizlyar Supreme», which provided part of the prizes for this competition.

But as I said above the protagonists of this event are the athletes themselves. 

Who came from different parts of our country and not only. All they have to do it exclusively at his own expense. Because in this sport there are no powerful and wealthy clubs.

Who will pay the costs athletes. And the prizes are purely symbolic usially.

But the enthusiasm of participants outweigh the difficulties. honor and praise for them.

Sport develops and attracts more and more people, so all the best yet to come. On a positive note, I want to finish this article.

And once again I want to thank all the participants and organizers of the championship.

And just to say thanks to our photographer Igor Lebedev, whose photos and accompany my story.

Sincerely yours  Alexander (moroz11)
