The fifth sliders’ championship gathered 140 participants from Voronezh and neighboring cities. The toddlers deftly covered the distance of 7 meters. After all, at the finish line, the kids were waiting for their favorite toys, forbidden tablets, laptops and, of course, chocolate delicacies.
For two days in the city park “Grad” we chose the fastest, nimble and funniest kids. Little athletes aged 5 months to XNUMX years had to race in four categories. The “sliders” were the first at the start. Adorable crumbs in costumes of ladybirds, princesses, crocodiles, angels, turtles, superheroes moved to the finish line on all fours.
The parents of little Bogdan Dobrov also came to the championship in superman costumes. The jury appreciated such efforts: Bogdan won the Audience Award nomination. “We have a very athletic family,” says Yulia Dobrova. – I work as a fitness instructor, my husband is professionally engaged in athletics, and we are preparing our son for hockey players.
Moms and dads were more worried than babies. Parents actively lured children with everything they could. Not only nipples and rattles were used: the crumbs began to crawl faster at the sight of a camera, mobile phones, tablets, laptops, various cords, and car keys. “We brought with us a whole package of toys and books,” says the mother of 9-month-old Ksenia, Katerina Provotorova. “We also took tablets, cords, and a camera. It is not clear what will attract our Ksyusha the most ”.
Sasha Astafieva’s mother lured with her father’s Rubik’s cube and clockwork toys. In honor of the competition, Milan Gnezdilova was entrusted with holding a cell phone.
But 11-month-old Stepan Sayushev with a funny backpack made from two mother’s T-shirts, crawled the distance on his own without any baits. “We didn’t take anything with us,” Olga Sayusheva shared. – Stepan by himself very quickly crawls after mom.
But all the same, the smartest baby was 11-month-old Elisey Dramboev, who took first place in the “Romper” category,
in second place was Daniil Baranov,
the third was Artem Radin.
Older toddlers (from one to 1,5 years) took part in the “Vanka-vstanki” category. Here the children reached the finish line, some by running, some by crawling, some on all fours, and some dancing. Vadim Brazhnikov in a skeleton costume was in no hurry to the finish line, it was much more interesting for the kid to visit all three tracks in turn. Such a tracker was awarded both in the nomination “The quieter you go – the further you will be”, and the audience award.
Marina Podshivalova became the winner among the vanek-vstaneks. The girl ran so quickly after her dad. Marina’s mother, Svetlana, said that the baby is always happy to meet her father from work and runs to his arms.
On Sunday, the competition was held in two more categories – Runners (from 1,5 to two years) and Shustriki (from two to three years). The latter covered distances in toy cars. Older kids were lured into the championship by their parents with promises to buy a new toy or favorite treat, as well as allow them to press buttons in their father’s phone or tablet.
On the second day, there were experienced athletes who have been coming to the competition for several years. Ruslan Shepelev last year participated in the “Sliders” category, and this year he has already become a runner and won the audience’s award. Especially for the competition, the boy was sewn a sailor suit. Diana Bogomolova comes to the Sliders Championship for the third time. Now the girl has grown to the category “Runners”.
The fastest race among the runners turned out to be Timofey Krasov. The kid ran after his mother’s iron. “This is our favorite toy,” says Inna Krasova. – which parents carefully hide. Timofey loves to press various buttons of the iron. “
In the mini-auto race, Ilya Metelkin became the undisputed winner, who rushed to the finish line in almost 5 seconds. Ilyusha has been driving since he was a year old. “We gave our son a plastic car for his birthday,” says the champion’s mother, Marina. – Since then, she has not got off. We even took our car to the competition, but according to the rules, the participants are given cars ”. Last year, Ilya also took a medal with him. The kid won in the category “Surprised so surprised.” “Ilyusha then decided to go not in a straight line, but in a circle,” Marina continues. – He’s a real quickie: we change, as a rule, two pairs of sneakers during the season ”.
The audience singled out two-year-old Oleg Grobovenko among the participants, whom his parents presented in the form of a motorcyclist. For Pelageya Tokmakova, my mother sewed a front-line soldier’s costume. True, Pelageya did not reach the finish line, but she became the winner in the nomination “The quieter you drive, the further you will be”.
