The two-day open festival "Fecht-Fest", organised by the Krasnodar Regional Public Organisation "Kuban Modern Pentathlon Federation", has successfully concluded at the Champion sports complex. The event was made possible by grant support from SIBUR's "Formula for Good Deeds" social investment programme.

The festival brought together representatives of different generations on a single platform: from young people eager to take up fencing (aged 10–14) to active athletes and sports veterans. Over the course of two days, tournaments, training sessions and interactive events took place at the venue, which had been partially equipped with new facilities purchased with grant funds.

The festival programme included competitions in the following age categories: 10–12 years, 13–14 years, and 15 years and older. The organisers placed special emphasis on promoting fencing as a spectacular sport and as an integral part of modern pentathlon. For the youngest participants, quick tournaments were held in the "up to 4 touches" and "up to 5 touches" formats, where participation was the main criterion, and each child received a commemorative badge.

In addition to the competitions, guests enjoyed a rich interactive programme:

• masterclasses from a fencing star – "Warm-up with a Champion" – and lectures on the history of fencing in Kuban and the world;

• a trial fencing zone where anyone could, under the guidance of a coach, take up a weapon (epee, foil, sabre);

• a talk and autograph session with the silver medallist of the XXXII Summer Olympic Games 2020;

• a photo zone where visitors could try on elements of fencing kit;

• demonstration performances by historical reconstruction clubs;

• a rest area.

The judging and masterclasses involved titled athletes, including the silver medallist of the XXXII Summer Olympic Games 2020, Honoured Master of Sports of Russia, and Senior Coach of the Russian national team, Sergey Viktorovich Khodos, who shared his experience with the younger generation.
