The Olympic Day at Keskil children's camp: young Yakutians learned about sports values.
On the International Olympic Day, the Keskil children's health camp hosted an educational program dedicated to the Olympic values. The event was organized by the Children of Asia International Committee.
Sardaana Zhendrinskaia, Deputy Secretary General of the Children of Asia International Committee, noted:
"The Olympic Day is an excellent opportunity to introduce children with importance of sports, friendship and mutual respect. We have adapted the program specifically for the Keskil camp, so that the children can learn more about the Olympic Games, Asian Games and Children of Asia Games in a fun and interactive way. I am confident that such events inspire children to achieve new milestones!".
The program included an Olympic lesson and a quiz game, as well as a PE lesson led by Sardana Trofimova, an alumna of the 3rd Children of Asia Games, a bronze medalist of the 2023 Asian Games, and a participant of Olympic Games 2024 in Paris.
Sardana Trofimova, alumna of the Children of Asia Games, bronze medalist of the 2023 Asian Games, and participant of the Olympic Games in Paris:
"Today, together with the Children of Asia International Committee, we held an educational event for the campers of the Keskil children’s health camp. I truly believe that such initiatives make a significant contribution to the development of youth sports and the promotion of a healthy lifestyle.
I hope today’s event will remain in the children’s memories, and perhaps some of them will also feel inspired to pursue a future in sports. But even if not, what’s most important is to stay active and believe in yourself!".
The program was dynamic and fun, allowed the children to not only learn new things but also showcase their athletic abilities through various challenges.
Egor Artemyev, a camper at the Keskil children's health camp:
"I practice freestyle wrestling, and today, through the educational project Climbing Olympus, I learned a lot of new and interesting things. After speaking with Olympic athlete Sardana Trofimova, I was once again reminded that in sports, character is the most important quality. I feel even more motivated to continue training and hope to take part in the next Children of Asia Games".
The Children of Asia International Committee wishes everyone a Happy International Olympic Day. This holiday brings together millions of people around the world, inspires them to strive for athletic excellence, friendship, and mutual respect. We believe that sports make life brighter and the Olympic values of honesty, perseverance and the pursuit of excellence help everyone to improve themselves.
