Vecmīlgrāvis’ fifth sports games were a proof that there are quite a few people living in Vecmīlgrāvis who like to spend one of their holidays actively playing sports with their families.

In order to ensure a safe opportunity to play sports in this epidemiological situation, the organizers of the competition placed more emphasis on individual sports, which did not diminish the fighting spirit of the participants. Among the individual sports, the strongest agreement was in the power triathlon (pulling on the bar, leaning on the back and lying on the abdomen), while in the team sports competition, Vecmīlgrāvis confirmed that this year mini football is clearly their favorite sport.

“Since the sports games” Vecmīlgrāvis VAR “are taking place for the fifth year, it is a great pleasure to watch the young generation grow up in this event, which is actively involved in various activities together with their parents,” admits Sandris Vaļģis, the chief judge of sports games. “For young people, sport is emerging as a tradition, as an integral part of an active and healthy lifestyle.”

Although both athletes and fans would feel safe, all participants of the festival were constantly reminded to observe the required 2 m distance and disinfect their hands. The organizers also thank the municipal police, who worked tirelessly throughout the competition to ensure that these conditions were met.

Organizers of sports games – Vecmīlgrāvis Development Association is pleased that in this difficult epidemiological situation it has been possible to organize sports games so that anyone who wants can participate in them, thus proving their physical fitness skills and promoting an active lifestyle to other residents of Vecmīlgrāvis.
