It is important for us to create conditions to support their physical fitness and engage in their favorite sports, regardless of the Olympics, on an ongoing basis and not only in large cities, but also in any remote region For example, in the capital, we have 22 departments for adaptive sports within the framework of Moskomsport, and people with disabilities in Art The city is home to over a million.
