A graduate of the school “BelkamMOTOsports” has become the motocross champion of Russia
Thanks to “RussNeft” dozens of boys win high sport prizes, get professions and become real men.

Almost all the boys dream of sport victories. Not only speed and adrenalin attract them, but also the opportunity to feel a grown-up person, to feel a champion. It is due to this fact that a lot of youngsters are eager to enter “BelkamMOTOsport” school. Sometimes parents ask to admit complete babies, three- or four year-olds. And the kids get deeply upset when they are refused and asked to wait a year o two.

 “ Now we have 850 young sportsmen, the youngest is five years old”, says Elena Shishkina,  the director of the school. “Filial branches  are opened in 9 regions of Udmurtia. Many graduates and pupils of our school win the contests of various levels. Among them are even two champions of Russia!”

Sasha Mashchak is one of the youngest sportsmen. But his age does not influence his wish to win. This year Sasha has won Federal motocross championship (50 cbm class). Another pupil of “BelkamMOTOsport”, a 16-year-old Timur Muratov, has achieved still more impressive results. It is for several years that he wins Russian motocross championship (125 cbm class).

 “ I have been going  in for moto sport since I was five”, Timur smiles. Vy Dad took me to the school. At first I was a bit scared, for I was too little, you see. But I got hand in it very soon. And now I can’t imagine my life without moto sport.” This year Timur is finishing high school and will be able to give still more time to professional sport. And there are many such boys with shining eyes in the famous school “BelkamMOTOsports” Each of them is unique and talented in his own way.

Last week at the office of “Belkamneft”, the general sponsor of the moto school there took place a meeting. The results were summed up and the young sportsmen enjoyed congratulations. Traditionally at the round table there gathered absolute winter, summer and overall motocross champions and their couches. They have already received their well-deserved prizes for their glorious victories. But warm wards, memorial cups and valuable prizes from the administration of “Belkamneft”, one of the major oil companies of the republic, mean a lot for the boys.

“We are so grateful to “Belkamneft” for their support”, says Elena SHISHKINA. “Thanks to their help the dreams of our boys come true. It doesn’t matter so much whether they will become the champions of the country, a city, a village or will just remain moto sport fans. The main thing is that our boys become real men!”
