Palace of Rhythmic Gymnastics opens in Minsk

Pobediteley Avenue in Minsk is considered one of the sport-friendliest places: it houses the Palace of Sports and Minsk Arena, many bicycle routes, places for workouts. This spring the avenue welcomed another landmark facility: the National Rhythmic Gymnastics Olympic Training Center (the Palace of Gymnastics).

All along the avenue you can see the billboards with the images of the Belarusian gymnasts saying “Dreams Come True!”. For gymnasts it is not just lofty words. Now the Belarusian rhythmic gymnastics team has got a new cozy home. At the entrance to the center there is a sculptural composition of gymnastic ribbons with a similar inscription “Dreams Come True! The place for forging new champions”. Next to the granite ball there is a handprint of the famous Belarusian gymnast, Olympic champion Marina Lobach.
