This year there are twice as many participants as the last year, and the track has become even more comfortable. We, together with our partners and volunteers, have done everything to enable athletes, their families and friends to spend a fantastic summer weekend here".

Artem Pariyenko, Master of Sports of International Class in triathlon: “This year I performed at a short distance, and I had to work quickly but powerfully. It would be a pleasure to participate in Supermix but initially I prepared for another long distance, so I had to train intensively”.
