Mosavtoshina became the sponsor of the second stage of the Arkhangelsk Region Beach Volleyball Championship

28 july 2013
Over the past weekend, dozens of volleyball matches were played in Severodvinsk as part of the second stage of the Arkhangelsk Oblast beach volleyball championship. The event, held on 5 courts of the Yagrynsky beach, was sponsored by the company "Mosavtoshina".


The 16 men's and 12 women's teams participating in the tournament had to play in challenging weather conditions. The courts had not dried out after the recent rain, making it difficult to move around on them. The strong gusts of wind also caused problems for the athletes, and some of them complained about the insufficiently warm weather. However, this did not prevent Evgeny Aksenov and Ivan Rakutin from the Arkhangelsk team Optimist-1 from winning with a score of 2:0 against Dmitry Zhuravlev and Andrey Dryupin, who represent both Arkhangelsk and Severodvinsk in the championship.

Despite their victory, the Optimist team was unable to take the lead in the regional championship. They were overtaken by another Arkhangelsk team, Nordik, consisting of Igor Shiroky and Evgeny Baranov, who took third place for the second time in a row.



As for the "women's" half of the competition, the gold medals of the 2nd stage of the regional championship were won by the team "Yulyashki" from Arkhangelsk, consisting of Yulia Safronova and Yulia Vlasova. The girls proved to be stronger than their opponents from the Severodvinsk Construction Company - Lyubov Gubkina and Galina Chulkova. One of these teams will become the champion of the Arkhangelsk Oblast in beach volleyball already next Saturday, when the 3rd stage of the championship will take place in the regional capital. According to the results of the two previous stages, both teams have scored the same number of points.
