In Elabuga, the municipal sports festival for pensioners "Third Age" took place.

      On May 14 and 15, the municipal Spartakiad for pensioners "Third Age" took place in Yelabuga. Participants of the silver age proved that age is not an obstacle to bright victories and a healthy lifestyle. The competitions brought together the most active representatives of the older generation. Athletes competed in six disciplines: swimming; darts; table tennis; athletics; shooting; and passing the standards of the All-Russian physical culture and sports complex "Ready for Labor and Defense" (GTO). A special and solemn detail of the event was the awarding ceremony. Participants who had previously successfully passed the GTO standards received the long-awaited badges of distinction. The GTO badges on the chests of the pensioners looked especially honorable — this is the best confirmation that a healthy lifestyle knows no age. The event was held as part of the State program "Sport of Russia" aimed at popularizing sports and physical culture among children and youth, as well as attracting older citizens to systematic physical culture activities, a healthy lifestyle, and fulfilling the standards of the GTO complex.
