[00:00:01] Currently, the total herd numbers 33 individuals. This
[00:00:05] includes young zubrs that were born on this land.
[00:00:08] In the Southern Urals, zubrs appeared more than 10
[00:00:12] thousand years ago, but at the beginning of the last century, they were completely
[00:00:15] exterminated by humans.
[00:00:17] Now, they are returning to nature within the
[00:00:21] framework of the national project Ecological Well-
[00:00:24] Being.
[00:00:51] Significant sports event. Anton
[00:00:53] Smolsky won two gold medals at the Open Summer Biathlon Championship of Belarus.
[00:00:56] The captain of our team first took first place in the sprint,
[00:01:00] and the next day in the mass start. In Dzerzhinsk, a football stadium was opened after
[00:01:04] reconstruction. Now it can be said for sure that Arsenal will no longer
[00:01:07] be a homeless club and will no longer play in rented
[00:01:11] arenas. Key news and facts about sports
[00:01:14] in Belarus. The Belarusian national football team is ready for the new season in the Nations
[00:01:18] League. Our national team is now led by the best specialist
[00:01:21] in recent decades with a very strong staff.
[00:01:24] Exclusive interviews with athletes. Samosevich
[00:01:28] Kristina, Radio Sport. They came to our school,
[00:01:31] introduced, showed, and
[00:01:34] I liked it, so I went to my first competition, all of this
[00:01:37] in sports projects on Belarus 24 TV channel.
[00:02:56] Knights of five qualities, modern pentathlon rightly
[00:02:59] belongs. In the collection of the most difficult Olympic sports, here
[00:03:03] leaders change from season to season, but one thing is constant:
[00:03:06] for decades, the national team of Belarus
[00:03:09] has confidently held top positions in the world
[00:03:12] arena, against all odds.
[00:03:15] Olympic podiums,
[00:03:23] continental and planetary forums, World Cup stages,
[00:03:26] women's wing of the national team. To the Olympic
[00:04:00] Games.
[00:04:00] They are so afraid that they were the first to
[00:04:04] abandon the principle of sport outside politics. The Sixtieth
[00:04:08] World Championship. The Executive Committee of the International Modern
[00:04:12] Pentathlon Union decides to hold the championship in
[00:04:16] Belarus, but six months before the start, it withdraws this right and
[00:04:19] moves the planetary forum of 2021
[00:04:23] to Cairo. For our athletes, this is a challenge
[00:04:26] they accept. no one
[00:05:02] thought that something would happen in the future regarding
[00:05:05] the sports industry, no one
[00:05:08] even thought about it.
[00:05:10] The World Championship in Cairo becomes
[00:05:12] under native flags, then suspension and neutral
[00:05:16] status. The struggle continued, but there was no point in it,
[00:05:19] as it would turn out later. Maria Gnetchik and Anastasia
[00:05:23] Prokopenko qualify for the main games of the quadrennial in
[00:05:26] Paris, two Olympic quotas and two guaranteed medals,
[00:05:30] but the athletes are not allowed to start. It's much
[00:05:34] more pleasant to stand in national uniform on
[00:05:36] the podium, in a running shirt with Belarus at the start,
[00:05:40] naturally, and not to think that this. You should swim in a black wetsuit and
[00:05:44] a white cap, and Masha and I talked to each other,
[00:05:47] why they didn't take us to the Olympic Games. Masha was
[00:05:51] then in the top three in the world
[00:05:53] ranking, and I was already gaining condition, became fifth at the
[00:05:57] World Championship, that is, just a little bit more, they understood
[00:06:01] that we could simply claim two medals on
[00:06:03] the podium, and in order for their athletes not to
[00:06:07] tremble a little, yes, you can say so, most likely it
[00:06:10] happened that we were simply not invited to these competitions, although
[00:06:14] we both had licenses, we
[00:06:17] both had enormous
[00:06:20] potential.
[00:06:23] Athletes lost a whole Olympic training cycle,
[00:06:27] entering a new one had to be according to other rules. In place of
[00:06:30] the pentathlon came a more traumatic obstacle course,
[00:06:33] which brought about a change of generations for
[00:06:36] the country. New names lit up, whose radiance was not
[00:06:40] extinguished by neutral status, nor
[00:06:43] the lack of proper
[00:06:44] competitive experience.
[00:06:53] Five years later, on May 7, 2026,
[00:06:56] politically motivated sanctions led to the withdrawal of
[00:07:00] recommendations against the participation of Belarusian athletes. It took less
[00:07:03] than a week for the International Modern
[00:07:06] Pentathlon Union to follow this decision. The Belarusian
[00:07:10] team is fully returning to
[00:07:13] the competition calendar, and the main event is the European Championship, where
[00:07:16] the first Olympic licenses will be awarded next season. From
[00:07:20] Turkey, Anastasia Oryol returns with a hard-won silver
[00:07:23] and an unpleasant aftertaste.
[00:07:27] Here's a girl from Tutuchanka, there was certainly a moment of
[00:07:29] biased officiating in her favor. I didn't notice it myself, but I was
[00:07:33] told about it. She put magnesium on her hands. We are not allowed to use magnesium
[00:07:36] on the obstacle course, generally nothing can be applied to the hands, and
[00:07:40] since... these were Turks, they allowed her, yes,
[00:07:44] it allowed her to be a little ahead, considering that I didn't reach the
[00:07:47] club during the warm-up, I couldn't do it because of the humidity of my hands,
[00:07:51] well, I was already a little worried, and I thought, it would be a shame to win
[00:07:55] fencing, and now not to pass the course, well,
[00:07:58] thank God that didn't happen.
[00:08:01] The World Championship in China became the
[00:08:05] final international start of the competition year, which, by the way,
[00:08:09] showed the period from... will be able to win, well,
[00:08:42] no one
[00:08:43] thought so,
[00:08:50] I was very nervous, as always, but my mother and coaches calmed
[00:08:53] me down, they said, "Yes, you are a world champion, don't worry, you are already a world champion." In fact, before the start, I didn't think about it at all, so I had no hopes or thoughts, I just thought, well, we'll perform and that's it, I honestly didn't even think about the fact that
[00:08:57] our girls, when they were last in the international arena with their flag and anthem,
[00:09:01] they were first, and this was my very close friend Olga
[00:09:05] Silkina, and then after this passage,
[00:09:08] it was honestly very
[00:09:21] pleasant to think that we have weight in
[00:09:24] the international arena and show a certain level, I think, and a very
[00:09:27] decent one.
[00:09:29] Next, according to the script of
[00:09:32] 2021, silver in the mixed relay.
[00:09:36] Violetta Gureeva and Evgenia Oryol, despite the cancellation of their signature
[00:09:40] discipline. They ran halfway, now the average time
[00:10:12] for us is 23, you stand not under some
[00:10:16] song, but under your anthem, you stand in your
[00:10:20] beautiful uniform, our running shirts were liked
[00:10:24] by everyone abroad, I also really like them, a very cool
[00:10:27] design, in fact, this time we guessed right, everything worked out,
[00:10:31] so I'm glad that we were still allowed, there are still chances
[00:10:34] to glorify our country like this.
[00:10:38] And like a cherry on top, the Belarusian trio of girls
[00:10:41] ascends to the highest step of the podium in the team
[00:10:44] standings, second gold, second time the Belarusian flag
[00:10:48] is raised highest of all, our girls reminded why
[00:10:52] they were feared and how Belarusian sounds.
[00:11:17] They were just one step short of a medal in the individual
[00:11:20] event, Violetta Gureeva came in fourth, Maria Gnetchik finished
[00:11:24] sixth. I was lucky enough to hear the anthem,
[00:11:27] that's for sure, yes, at the championship twice at the
[00:11:31] World Championship I stood in the relays, and I
[00:11:34] held myself back so much, because after all individual competitions were ahead,
[00:11:38] when the team awards were given, I couldn't hold back anymore, I cried,
[00:11:42] stood there, in general, emotions just overwhelmed me, of course, during
[00:11:45] the suspension we managed not only to keep the women's
[00:11:49] team, first of all, we renewed the seeds and a new
[00:11:53] generation grew up, which
[00:11:55] confidently took leading positions
[00:11:58] and we have high internal competition
[00:12:02] among women and this is probably that
[00:12:04] such a wonderful
[00:12:08] impulse and stimulus for the development
[00:12:11] of modern pentathlon both within the country and
[00:12:14] for the possibility of winning the highest
[00:12:17] places at any level of competition.
[00:12:20] Truly a triumphant return. At the end of
[00:12:23] an incomplete competitive year on the international arena, our girls
[00:12:27] confidently secured their place in the top 13 of the world pentathlon
[00:12:30] ranking. The guys still need to push harder before the Olympic
[00:12:34] selection, but the men's team has
[00:12:38] a very strong reserve. What's missing, I think, is to put everything
[00:12:41] together. In training, everyone can
[00:12:45] do something, but when it comes to competition,
[00:12:48] nerves, competition, there's not
[00:12:51] that, you know, when you're fencing, you always fence well,
[00:12:55] but you come there and, like me, you lose the first bout and the
[00:12:58] points aren't the same, and what's missing is that one
[00:13:01] small element that will lead you to it.
[00:13:05] I think if we gather all our events together, everything will be fine,
[00:13:09] we will catch up with the women's national team, our men's pentathlon has
[00:13:13] leveled up, we have reached a quite high
[00:13:16] level, it has not yet reached
[00:13:20] the same values as women's pentathlon, but we are striving
[00:13:23] for it, plus we also have a young promising
[00:13:26] athlete in reserve, Akim Gnetchik, whom we also
[00:13:30] count on. Next season, I am sure,
[00:13:33] we will have a very highly competitive men's team,
[00:13:37] not just a women's team. By the way, the competitive year showed
[00:13:41] the full potential of the younger generation like never before. From
[00:13:44] the World Championship in Spain, the U19 team
[00:13:47] brought back two gold medals. Akim Gnetchik was first in
[00:13:50] the individual standings and in the men's relay in a duet with Alexander
[00:13:54] Chuishkov. Later in Portugal, Akim will add the title of
[00:13:57] Continental Champion to his title of World Champion.
[00:14:00] The entire team was at a fairly high
[00:14:04] level, it's clear that maybe someone was weaker in something, but everyone, in principle,
[00:14:08] has a very high level in our team. We went to the European Championships,
[00:14:11] how many, seven people or eight, six made it, but you can only
[00:14:15] put four further, some European teams,
[00:14:18] I looked, when I reached the final, I didn't look at
[00:14:21] the protocols, from the second semifinal, I didn't look at who was in the semifinal
[00:14:25] behind, I look, three Germans, for example, are sitting in the stands,
[00:14:28] there are only four of them, and so many teams that strong guys didn't
[00:14:32] make it. Athletes under 15
[00:14:35] years old made a loud statement on the international arena, bringing
[00:14:38] back a whole host of medals from each start. In
[00:14:42] Spain, pentathletes won seven awards, the European Championship
[00:14:46] brought another eight medals, and six of them were of the highest
[00:14:49] dignity. Again, on the podium was an athlete with the surname
[00:14:53] Gnetchik. In principle, a very strong team,
[00:14:56] there are younger guys who will compete in this category next
[00:14:59] year, well, and the girls are generally very strong, they
[00:15:03] were first at the World Championship, now they are second there,
[00:15:06] well, this is a very decent result, I think, at the
[00:15:10] World Championship in relays everything was fine, everything
[00:15:13] worked out, we made a big breakthrough and didn't lose much
[00:15:16] in running. Three world champions in one family,
[00:15:20] perhaps the most titled surname in the sport,
[00:15:23] athletes who, during...
[00:16:37] our President, Ministry of Sports, National
[00:16:41] Olympic Committee, this is a huge team, this is
[00:16:44] the contribution of the entire country to winning
[00:16:48] these medals, and
[00:16:52] thanks to this system,
[00:16:54] a highly effective system, when people work as
[00:16:58] a single team, focused on results, such
[00:17:01] wonderful
[00:17:02] achievements happen.
[00:17:06] Stars will shine again, Belarusians will shine at the Olympics.
[00:17:50] An important topic at the center of attention of the Head of State Alexander
[00:17:53] Lukashenko visited the experimental corn field of the Dzerzhinsky Agro-Combine in
[00:17:57] Minsk region. The President was informed about the results of the experiment to increase
[00:18:01] the fertility of sandy soils and other difficult areas for agriculture,
[00:18:04] including through the use of organic matter.
[00:18:37] and even with peat, the result
[00:18:41] is better than where we did not apply it,
[00:18:44] which means these wastes yield results,
[00:18:48] which means there are beneficial substances there, and quite a lot for
[00:18:51] plants, that is, if you look
[00:18:54] at the growth phases, we already see the benefit, the result,
[00:18:58] so I suspect that maybe
[00:19:02] they will take these mountains for free and apply them, especially
[00:19:05] in the south, uh-huh, the Pripyat region, there are
[00:19:08] sands there, yes, there are enough in Soligorsk, in Soligorsk
[00:19:12] district, and in Kopol and
[00:19:15] other places, well, starting with
[00:19:19] low-fertility land. In Belarus, CSTO exercises began, in
[00:19:23] Vitebsk and Starye Dorogi, opening ceremonies of the maneuvers,
[00:19:27] Indestructible Brotherhood and Barrier, were held. The military will practice actions in
[00:19:30] a peacekeeping operation, as well as tasks to eliminate sources of
[00:19:34] biological threats. Military personnel from five countries participate
[00:19:38] in the exercises: Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,
[00:19:41] Russia, and Tajikistan. In total, more than 1,500 people, over
[00:19:44] 300 units of weapons, military and special equipment, including
[00:19:48] about 80 drones, will be involved in the
[00:19:51] training grounds.
[00:19:54] The ninth international congress "Image of a Woman,
[00:19:57] Worker and Keeper of the Family Hearth" was held in Moscow. Participants included
[00:20:00] experts, scientists, and representatives of a number of organizations from Russia and
[00:20:04] Belarus. The main topics of discussion were what concerns
[00:20:07] modern women in the Union State: professional and
[00:20:11] personal development, education, and also practices of supporting health,
[00:20:14] family well-being, and active longevity. Participants discussed
[00:20:18] international cooperation and exchange of experience in social, scientific,
[00:20:22] and cultural projects in Belarus and Russia. During the forum, a
[00:20:25] thematic exhibition was held, and a fashion show of clothing models by designers
[00:20:29] from both countries took place. The role of women is extremely great.
[00:20:33] A woman is very multitasking, despite the fact that she is in our
[00:20:36] family. and in business, in politics, and in
[00:20:39] public activity, she tries to succeed everywhere, and she certainly
[00:20:43] brings love, and she brings kindness, brings peace,
[00:20:47] therefore, of course, now, probably, precisely now, during the
[00:20:50] period of turbulence, the role of women becomes especially bright, as I always say, that the
[00:20:54] development of many processes of the world, of the world order, rests on
[00:20:57] the shoulders of women, therefore, of course, absolutely.
