There was a corporate relay race as part of the Belarusian Championships in athletics. The team consisting of employees of the Federation's office took part in the competition

Lizaveta Famina (FIBA Referee, International projects implementation manager) and Dzianis Matsulevich (National category basketball referee, Head of the competitions department, Aliaksei Ulasenko (1st category referee, Competition department manager), Nastassia Marynina (Secretary General - Executive Director) took part in the 4x400 m relay race at the Dinamo Stadium.

The employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations became real heroes of relay race; they took part in the competition in full ammunition and in oxygen masks.

- This is the case when we as organizers of competitions, had an opportunity to become participants, - Nastassia Marynina shared her impressions. - When we learned that the Belarus Athletic Federation hosts such an interesting event and that our colleagues from the modern pentathlon take part in it, we got interested in. It is clear that we didn't specifically prepare for this relay race, but BBF employees always maintain good physical shape, so it was very interesting to try another sport, especially since in our case it is important not to win, but to participate. The managers, who went out today, as well as cheered in the stands, had a great opportunity to learn from BAF colleagues the organization of such major sporting events. We were also inspired by the idea to organize an amateur tournament in the future and we hope that representatives of other sports federations will want to try their hand. We invite all basketball fans to the third stage of the Palova 3x3 National League, which will be held in Minsk on 8-9 August. Everyone can participate or cheer their team!
