Putin to chair Council on Sports meeting today

Detailed summary

Last week, the Russian president revised its regulations and established special commissions

MOSCOW, November 12. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin will chair a meeting of the Presidential Council for the Development of Physical Culture and Sports today to discuss the development of physical fitness activities and sports competitions.

The Council will meet for the first time since the president revised its regulations last week and established special commissions. These commissions replace the previous interdepartmental commissions and working groups and will focus on specific areas: youth sports, adaptive sports, sports medicine, digitalization and improvements to sports legislation. As a result, many Council members will gather at the Kremlin in their new roles.

The previous meeting of the Council chaired by the Russian president took place on November 6 last year in Samara, a city in southwestern Russia, and focused on children's and youth sports. The meeting also resulted in an instruction to develop sports medicine, which has since been incorporated into a dedicated strategy.
