But first, a little information for those who are little familiar with the sport of tourism. The main task of this type is the sports improvement of a person in overcoming natural obstacles. Sports tourism has historically developed in our country in the first years of Soviet power. Many tourists also engage in related sports: orienteering, rock climbing, mountaineering, rafting, mountain biking, skiing, sailing. You never know what hobby a passionate person has. Here, for example, are the mountains, which, if you believe the classics of the bard song “They call and beckon...”. Not everyone is ready to become a mountaineer or rock climber, but tourists must have the skills to climb mountains. These people are a kind of reserve for training rescuers in the natural environment. By the way, when passing the standards of the GTO complex, you need to go on a hike and test your tourist skills - there is such a condition. And this requires skills and craftsmanship.
To complete the distance, you must master the technique of working with ropes. The stages consist of ascent, organization of belay on the ascent, traversing the slope and descent. In the 2nd class rappel with a referee rope, they only organize the belay, and in the 3rd class they have to organize the rappel rails and organize the belay. The distances are difficult, the terrain is difficult, but the guys did it. The best time at the 2nd class distance was 10 minutes, at the 3rd class distance 15 minutes. It's a very good time.
For the competition, the organizers chose the Vityaz rock complex not far from the Orlyonok station, in the Shelekhovsky district. According to their plan, it corresponded to the categories of difficulty that the participants had to overcome. It should be taken into account that sports tourism, especially hiking, is a team sport in which the traditions of mutual assistance and mutual assistance, sports discipline, self-improvement and mutual transfer of knowledge and experience are strong. All these qualities increase significantly when mountains and rocks stand in the way of the team. The championship participants competed in completing several routes corresponding to difficulty levels of 2 and 3 classes. This requires the athlete to have versatile knowledge, skills, experience and good physical, technical and psychological preparation. But any competition is interesting because it contains intrigue and an element of competition.
Dmitry KONTORIN, participant of the sports tourism championship:
I also do hiking, orienteering, and we also go hiking. It's interesting, it's exciting. In general, sports tourism is an adrenaline rush that everyone likes. There is a goal to connect life with tourism. I am currently studying to become an industrial climber in the future.
Dmitry walked along the route together with Vladimir Rimarchuk, this duo was only two minutes short of the prize podium. And the winners in the men's second class matches were Alexander Ekimov and Evgeniy Alekseev. In the mixed category, the Angarsk tandem Dmitry Fedorov - Ulyana Kolesnikova had no equal. Dmitry did not stop there, and won another gold in the men's 3rd class, paired with Daniil Vanteev.
Dmitry FYODOROV, champion of the Irkutsk region:
This generally runs in my family, but, I don’t know, I’ve gotten used to the mountains since childhood. Here you have to think when you climb, what you are doing. Some dose of adrenaline, interest is life. I plan to complete the Master of Sports, now I’m going to get points, we’re going to go to Novosibirsk in a group.
In the mixed doubles, Irkutsk residents Evgeniy Alekseev - Maria Kholomyanskaya excelled. Angarsk residents have bronze, it was brought home by Anton Kazantsev and Nadezhda Nechaeva. The competition not only placed winners and runners-up on all steps of the podium, but also outlined the list of candidates for participation in the championship of the federal district, with subsequent access to the Russian championship.
Alexander FYODOROV, chief judge of the competition:
Qualifying rounds are taking place and a national team of the Irkutsk region is being assembled to participate in Russian competitions. In November, competitions between the Siberian Federal District and Russia will be held in Novosibirsk. When I set the distance I thought it would be very difficult, but the guys managed it. Some, of course, are not quite ready to complete this class of distances. But they still felt that they couldn’t, that they needed to improve. In general, I am satisfied with the results.
There is a chance to distinguish yourself and show all your skills and abilities in full glory! In addition to the ability to overcome rocks and ridges that get in the way, a real tourist must be able to provide first aid, have the skills to evacuate victims, select a location and set up a camp, work with ropes and technical means of crossing, belaying, movement techniques, and survival in extreme conditions . Useful skills include the ability to hunt and fish, handling animals and various equipment, useful knowledge in the field of geography, flora and fauna. Oh, there’s a lot more that a sports tourist should be able to do, especially if he’s from Russia!

Basic principles for determining results
87.
The result of completing the distance by a participant (group, team, crew) can be determined by:
transit time;
received penalty or bonus points (points);
the sum of the passing time and penalty points (points) reduced to a single unit of measurement.
88. The results are considered approved if no protests or statements are received within 1 hour after the publication of the preliminary results.
89. The time for participants to complete the distance (elements of the distance) is determined with an accuracy of 1 second. When using an electronic marking system in competitions, it is possible to determine the time with an accuracy of a tenth of a second.
90. The time it takes to complete a group distance is the time between the start signal and the finish time of the last group member.
91. The result of a participant (group, team, crew) at a distance consisting of separate stages can be determined by summing up the results shown in the stages. Results can also be determined by the sum of several attempts to complete the same distance under the same conditions or by the result of the best attempt.
92. The place of a participant (group, team, crew) is determined by the result of completing the distance. If several participants or groups (teams, crews) have the same result, they are awarded the same place, and in the final protocol they are recorded in the order in which they started. After the participants who showed the same result, there are as many unoccupied places as there are participants who have the same result, minus one. If a participant (team, group, crew) did not cross the finish line, exceeded the control time of the distance or was removed from the race, then a place is not awarded.
93. The places of participants (groups, teams, crews) in the team competition are determined by the sum of places occupied by them in certain types of competition programs (distances) or the sum of points received by them in certain types of programs (distances). If the sum of places (points) is equal, preference is given to the participant (group, team, crew) who has the best place at the distance specified in the Regulations or Conditions. If the team standings are determined by the sum of points, the Regulations stipulate the number of points assigned to participants (groups, teams, crews) for the place they occupy. The regulations may establish numerical coefficients by which the places of participants (groups, teams, crews) in certain types of competitions are multiplied before summation.
94. Participants (groups, teams, crews) who do not have a standing in any type of competition (distance, attempt, stage) in the team competition take places after the participants (groups, teams, crews) who have a more complete standing in accordance with the scores them by the sums of places (points), unless a different order is specified in the Regulations.
