The total length of the route in Tura is 1620 m. The bearers of the Winter Universiade Krasnoyarsk 2019 Flame started off at the Central Inter-Urban Library. The participants and spectators of the relay were greeted by the acting head of the town Yury Sadovin.
The first to bear the Universiade flame was Vladimir Khomenko, a famous Evenki singer, laureate of international and Russian nationwide contests and festivals, participant of the Russian Wonder festival in Tunisia: “I’m so pleased to be part of the history of the Winter Universiade Krasnoyarsk 2019. My friends told me: “Volodya, go run with grace!” I promised them I would (smiles). It’s good I’ve had enough sleep today and wasn’t feeling anxious!”.
All in all, there were 10 bearers who took the Flame through the streets of Tura, among them Vasily Udygir, Northern Multiathlon Champion of Russia, Aleksandr Vasilkovsky, coach of the Children’s and Youth Sports School of the Evenki Municipal District Centre for Physical Education and Sports, winner of the Russian Northern Multiathlon Championship in jumps over narty (arctic sledges); Anna Sokolovskaya, Physical Education instructor of the Rucheyok Kindergarten No. 3; and Aleksandr Vladimirov, artistic director of the Osiktakan Evenki Folk Song and Dance Company. It is worth noting that Aleksandr Vladimirov was cheered by the performers of his group who sang a few songs while he was on the route.
