- the main objective of the Keeper of the Flame is to make sure the Flame does not go out and is delivered to its destination place – Maxim said. – Before the torch relay in Uralsk we held a training session for all participants and the relay was a success. We delivered our flame to Almaty. I experienced so many positive emotions but at the same time I felt a lot of responsibility.
According to the Keeper of the Flame, he will attend the Opening Ceremony of the Universiade in Almaty with pleasure in order to see with his own eyes how 16 Flames from different regions of the country will be merged into one big flame.
- Given that such a large-scale event is held in our country I would like to visit all venues, particularly biathlon and speed skating races as well as ice hockey games. The fact that the World Winter Student Games are held in Kazakhstan will give an impetus to further development of winter sports. I would like to wish all athletes fair and successful competition – he concluded.
