But first, a little background for those who are not familiar with such a sport as tourism. the main task of this type is the sports improvement of a person in overcoming natural obstacles. Sports tourism has historically developed in our country in the early years of Soviet power. Many tourists are also involved in related sports: orienteering, rock climbing, mountaineering, rafting, mountain biking, skiing, sailing. But you never know what hobby a keen person has. Here, for example, mountains, which, according to the classics of the bard song "They call and beckon ...". Not everyone is ready to become a mountaineer or rock climber, but tourists must have the skills to climb mountains. These people are a kind of reserve for the training of rescuers in the natural environment. By the way, when passing the norms of the TRP complex, you need to go on a hike with a test of tourist skills - there is such a condition. And this requires skills and craftsmanship.

To pass the distance, you must master the technique of working with ropes. The stages consist of ascent, organization of belay on the ascent, traverse of the slope and descent. In 2nd class descending with referee's rope, they organize only belay, and in 3rd class they have to organize rappel and arrange belay. The distances are difficult, the terrain is difficult, but the guys did it. The best time at a distance of the 2nd class was 10 minutes, at a distance of the 3rd class 15 minutes. This is a very good time.

For the competition, the organizers chose the Vityaz rock complex near the Orlyonok station, in the Shelekhovsky district. According to their plan, it corresponded to those categories of difficulty that the participants had to overcome. It should be taken into account that sports tourism, primarily hiking, is a team sport in which traditions of mutual assistance and mutual assistance, sports discipline, self-improvement and mutual transfer of knowledge and experience are strong. All these qualities increase at times when mountains and rocks stand in the way of the team. The participants of the championship competed in the passage of several routes corresponding to the difficulty of the 2nd and 3rd grades. This requires the athlete to have versatile knowledge, skills, experience and good physical, technical and psychological preparation. But, any competitions are interesting because they have intrigue and an element of competition.

Dmitry KONTORIN, participant of the championship in sports tourism:

I am also engaged in tourism at walking distances, orienteering, and we also go on hikes. It's interesting, it's exciting. In general, sports tourism is an adrenaline rush, everyone likes it. There is a goal to connect life with tourism. I'm just now studying to be engaged in industrial mountaineering in the future.

Dmitry walked along the route together with Vladimir Rimarchuk, this duet was only two minutes short of the prize podium. And the winners in the men's bundles of the second class were Alexander Ekimov and Evgeny Alekseev. In the mixed category, there was no equal to the Angarsk tandem Dmitry Fedorov - Ulyana Kolesnikova. Dmitry did not stop there, and won another gold medal in the 3rd class men's combinations, together with Daniil Vanteev.

Dmitry FYODOROV, champion of the Irkutsk region:

This is generally a family thing for me, but I don’t know, I got used to the mountains from childhood. Here you have to think when you climb what you are doing. Some dose of adrenaline, interest is life. I plan to complete the Master of Sports, now I am going to receive points, we are going to go to Novosibirsk in a bunch.

Irkutsk Evgeny Alekseev - Maria Kholomyanskaya excelled in the mixed doubles. The Angarsk team won bronze, it was brought home by Anton Kazantsev and Nadezhda Nechaeva. The competition not only placed the winners and prize-winners on all steps of the podium, but also marked the list of contenders for participation in the championship federal district, with subsequent access to the championship of Russia.

Alexander FYODOROV, chief referee of the competition:

Pass qualifying rounds and the national team of the Irkutsk region is going to participate in Russian competitions. In November, the competitions of the Siberian Federal District and Russia will be held in Novosibirsk. When I set the distance, I thought it would be very difficult, but the guys did it. Some, of course, are not quite ready for such a class of distances. But still, they felt that they could not, that they needed to pull up. In general, I am satisfied with the results.

There is a chance to excel and show all your skills and abilities in full glory! In addition to the ability to overcome rocks and ridges that stand in the way, real tourist must be able to provide first aid, have the skills to evacuate the victims, choose a place and set up a camp, work with ropes and technical means of guiding crossings, insurance, movement techniques, survival in extreme conditions. Useful skills include the ability to hunt and fish, handling animals and various equipment, useful knowledge in the field of geography, flora and fauna. Oh, yes, there is a lot more that a sports tourist should be able to do, especially if he is from Russia!
