1,855 people took part in the finale of the fourth season of the "National Games of the TRP Sportloto"

1,855 athletes, including paraathletes, took part in the finale of the fourth season of the GTO Sportloto National Games, which took place from April 3 to 5 in the Sirius federal territory, the press service of the Stoloto state lottery distributor, whose portfolio includes lotteries of the Sportloto brand, said.

"The tradition of supporting big-time sports has been embedded in the DNA of the Sportloto brand since its inception, and for many years the brand has been providing systematic support to sports events of various scales. One of such bright projects was the "GTO Sportloto Folk Games", where new inclusive categories appeared on the initiative of the brand. This has made the Games truly accessible to different categories of citizens, contributing to the development of mass sports and the promotion of a healthy lifestyle," said Ekaterina Tuton, Deputy CEO of S8 Capital, which includes Stoloto.

As part of the in-person finale of the fourth season of the GTO Sportloto People's Games, Sportloto provided the prize fund of the event, which amounted to 2.5 million rubles, and also organized various activities for guests and participants, including the work of an on-site laboratory to replenish the Federal Register of Unrelated Bone Marrow Donors. This initiative embodies the brand's motto: "Helping others is impossible to lose."

"Unlike online competitions in which athletes take part throughout the year, at the Finals everyone can show their strength in fierce competition with other athletes. This is an atmosphere of healthy competition, a manifestation of the character and willpower of GTO all—around athletes," said Vladimir Voitekhovsky, Secretary General of the GTO All-Around Federation of Russia.

At the initiative of Sportloto, the category "Without Borders" was developed for athletes with musculoskeletal disorders in the second season of the National Games. The "Special Olympics" category has been in effect since the third season for people with mental disabilities.. The winners of these categories were invited to the Sirius finals.

"This is a truly inclusive project, where exercises are adapted to be performed anywhere - at home or in the gym. The cooperation of the two legendary brands Sportloto and GTO gives a new impetus to the development of mass sports. And, of course, a significant prize fund adds to the desire to participate," said Dmitry Cheshev, inclusive ambassador of the GTO Sportloto People's Games.

The unique event of the final of the "National Games of the TRP Sportloto" was the "Hero of the TRP I degree" complex, which was completed by the strongest athletes who passed strict selection into the team. Each participant covered a distance of 42 km, after which he performed a set of five functional exercises.

As Ekaterina Tuton noted, the cooperation of the two legendary brands GTO and Sportloto has become not only an important part of the project, but also opens a new page in the history of each: "Both brands are very close in spirit. In the "GTO Sportloto Folk Games", participants not only test their strength, but also compete for solid prizes. A similar principle works in the lotteries of Sportloto: by buying a ticket and getting vivid emotions, you get a chance for a big win," Ekaterina added.
