As part of a charitable program supporting Russian athletes, Alexander Smirnov, President of the International Inclusive Committee, presented an electric tricycle to Ruslan Zinyatullin, a Master of Sports and world champion in arm wrestling for individuals with musculoskeletal disabilities. He is a man of incredible fortitude, determination, and vitality.

For Ruslan, this gift was unexpected, but truly needed and important. An electric tricycle is more than just a means of transportation. It allows him to be more mobile, to move freely around his beloved city of Vyshny Volochyok, to visit important places, to meet people, and to continue doing what he loves most—coaching.

Alexander Smirnov expressed his sincere gratitude to Natalya Petrovna Roshchina, Head of the Vyshny Volochyok Municipal District, who personally participated in this generous initiative. Natalia Petrovna, thank you for your attention, support, and significant contribution to the development of sports, including adaptive sports, in the Vyshnevolotsk Municipal District.

The International Inclusive Committee continues its important charitable mission to develop adaptive and inclusive sports, create accessible environments, and expand opportunities for people with disabilities, veterans, and all those who need support on their path to an active and fulfilling life.

On May 21, 2026, the city of Luhansk (LPR) celebrated the grand opening of the first modern inclusive sports ground, created as part of a charitable program to equip regions of the Russian Federation with modern sports facilities for the development of physical education, adaptive sports, and rehabilitation.

The new ground features over 20 modern, inclusive exercise machines and the necessary equipment, making adaptive sports accessible, safe, and comfortable for people with varying abilities.

This project is of particular importance. It aims not only to develop sports infrastructure but also to create an environment in which everyone can feel confident, improve their health, unlock their potential, and take a step toward new personal achievements.

Sport unites, inspires, and helps overcome barriers. For some, it’s a path to recovery and rehabilitation; for others, it’s an opportunity to connect, socialize, and strengthen their spirit and self-confidence. Each such venue becomes a true place of strength, a space of equal opportunity, and a symbol that limitations shouldn’t be an obstacle to an active life.

The International Inclusive Games 2026 has become a truly significant event, bringing together the attention of dozens of countries and thousands of people who are not indifferent to the ideas of inclusion, fortitude and unlimited human possibilities.

In 2026, the festival was watched by 61 countries around the world. This large-scale international interest has become a clear confirmation that the International Inclusive Games goes far beyond a sporting event. It becomes a space of mutual understanding, respect and inspiration, where the main value is a person, his courage, desire for victory and the right to be heard.
