It is worth noting that at the Olympic Reserve sports school, much attention is paid not only to the quality of the training process, but also to the material and technical equipment of the departments. Under the federal program “Sport is the Norm of Life,” SSHOR, like a number of other sports schools in the region, receives a subsidy for updating equipment and equipment. Last year, we purchased tatami mats, wrestling dummies, starting blocks, hurdles for athletics, and much more necessary for the training of athletes. It cost about 5 million rubles.
