Dear friends!
every year on 2 July is the international day sports journalist. On behalf of the Ministry of sport of the Russian Federation and myself personally I congratulate the sports journalists – reporters, commentators, television and radio host, employees of the sports editors with their professional holiday!
In the media sport is one of the most popular and requested topics, never loses its relevance. Sports journalism in Russia has a glorious history and rich tradition. Come into this profession to work with people self-motivated, enthusiastic, sincere lovers of sports. Often, sports journalists are former athletes, who in my experience know very well all the features of the sports world and can tell them to a wider audience.
Informing about the major international and national competitions, successes and achievements of the athletes, creating colorful stories and memorable interviews, sports journalists make a huge contribution to the development of sports industry in the country, popularization of physical culture and sports, promoting a healthy and active lifestyle among Russians, especially children and youth.
this festive day, I want to thank the sports journalists for their professionalism, skill and objectivity in the coverage of sports events. I wish you all good health, fruitful work and new creative successes!
