In 2025, Russian schoolchildren competed in eight major international Olympics. Each participant received a medal: a total of 44 medals, of which 33 were gold.
⠀.
One of the reasons is the system for finding talented children. On September 1, 2015, in Sochi, on the site of the Olympic venues, at the initiative of Vladimir Putin, the Sirius Center was opened.
⠀.
How it works:
Children go through a competition and come to shifts in science, art and sports.
Free travel and accommodation for them;.
For 11 years, more than 88 thousand schoolchildren from all over the country went through Sirius.
⠀.
The main thing is the child's abilities, not the city where he lives.
