On Saturday of ten people in a kimono leave to train on the street

The well-known Sergey Kosorotov — the world champion in judo-1991 in superheavy weight category — continues to wrestling for that children could continue to be engaged free of charge in judo in Moscow Budokan club. On Saturday, July 27, Sergey Aleksandrovich's wards together with judoists from other clubs of Moscow and other cities plan, having changed clothes in a kimono, to go outside and carry out training in the open air.

"MK" already wrote that the school of judo restored and repaired by the world champion and Europe by Sergey Kosorotov, try to close. As it appeared, similar problems has not only it. After our publication Sergey was called by judoists from Bryansk and told that they have the same situation. Appeals to state structures don't help.

— It is the real ban on a profession! — Kosorotov is distressed. — Rent lifted several times. If earlier we paid 87 thousand rubles a month, now to us suggest to spread about 700 thousand. Increased already by eight! From where we have such money? Children free of charge are engaged! And the state speaks: either you pay, or go on the street. To us that to change specialization?

In what business? As told "MK" Kosorotov, after the termination of the previous contract to them counted a rent, disregarding that it not simply object, and a gym: simply increased a tariff for the area, a place and a technical condition. "Speak: at you it is beautiful. So all this beauty was created by me! I found an old hall, I sold the apartment, I made repair, practically I lived here. And now it turns out, I need to destroy it to lower a payment... " — Sergey is indignant.

Kosorotov already wrote open letters, addressed in receptions to officials of the most different level — but results any. Therefore he also decided to organize a meeting where judoists with similar situations will gather, will communicate and will try to wrestling further together.

— In the same Austria where I often happen, people train free of charge, and trainers work at sheer enthusiasm, having the main profession — Sergey shared. — And it is normal! And what at us? The mass of budgetary funds accumulates in those places where it is unproductive. And at production exit in the form of healthy sports people isn't present! Whether "sports of small achievements" are so necessary in general to our country? As current situation shows, probably, isn't present. But where the trained mass of athletes will go, without having opportunity to realize the potential on sports grounds? To show the abilities in ordinary life? And where to boys to spend teenage energy?
