“We did not hold the tournament for the past two years due to the pandemic. Now, due to sanctions, trips to world events have been canceled. It is all the more important not to lose the level of skill and to maintain the prestige of our tournament. It has always been amicable, we had participants from many countries. Now we have two countries - representatives of the national teams of Belarus and Russia,” said Irina Glushko, senior coach of the Brest Oblast team and chief judge of the tournament.
