On 26-27 January, the EU Delegation to Armenia organised Ashotsk Cross-Country Mass Ski Races in the country’s Shirak region. Over 400 people took part in this two-day event, which took place in the snowy northern community of Ashotsk.
The races ran in children’s, men’s and women’s categories. The programme also included a Para Nordic Skiing demonstration on the site, lots of fun for young children to celebrate the World Snow Day, and a ‘media race’ with the Head of the EU Delegation, Ambassador Piotr Świtalski.
Ambassador Świtalski, Deputy Minister of Sports Gevorg Loretsyan, General Secretary of the Armenian Ski Federation Gagik Sargsyan and Ashotsk Ski Centre manager Arthur Mikaelyan presented the awards to the winners of the races.
