Guests and participants of the 4th Eastern Economic Forum, which takes place in Vladivostok on 11–13 September, along with the business schedule, are in for a rich sporting programme.
“The Sporting Programme of the Eastern Economic Forum has become a significant platform for the promotion of sporting projects and sport itself to the business audience. This year it gains the Eastern touch, merging popular in the Asia-Pacific Region Olympic and non-Olympic sports. Many of the upcoming sports events exemplify cooperation between countries, which is thoroughly consistent with the ideas of the Easter Economic Forum,” noted Anton Kobyakov, Adviser to the President of the Russian Federation, Executive Secretary of the Organizing Committee of the Eastern Economic Forum.
The central sports event of EEF 2018 is the Second International Jigoro Kano Junior Judo Tournament for the athletes under 18 years of age held under the patronage of President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe, which is to take place on 12 September. KCK Fetisov–Arena hosts the tournament of the top judokas: national teams of Russia, Japan, Mongolia, China and South Korea. This year the tournament is to be held in the line fight format, which is to become an Olympic format starting from Tokyo 2020 games.
