6 new summer sports have become Olympic: baseball, karate, surfing, rock climbing, skateboarding, softball. In the current year, the Foundation’s program "Support to the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in connection with the development of new Olympic sports" was adopted and implemented. The program includes delivering to the constituent entities of the Russian Federation the range of sports inventory and equipment from the world's leading manufacturers, as well as the construction of sports facilities: climbing walls and skate parks. Their design is coordinated with national and international sports federations and corresponds to the highest Olympic level.
On October 8, during the International Sports Forum "Russia - Sports Nation" in Nizhny Novgorod, a skatepark was opened, which hosted the first European Championship in the history of this sport. The high quality of the skate park was noted and appreciated by the President of the International Federation of Roller Sports and Skateboarding (World Skate) Sabatino Araku.
On October 20, the second skatepark was opened in Rybinsk, Yaroslavl Region. A special coating for these skateparks was ordered from Finland.
On November 20, in the city of Barnaul, Altai Territory, a climbing wall of three degrees of difficulty was put into operation. It has become the third facility of this level in modern Russia. By the end of this year, it is expected to complete the installation and start-up of two more climbing walls of the same level in Yekaterinburg and Voronezh.
