The Olympic Festival offers 47 sports. How much does it cost and what are the rules?
“The main goal of this year’s Olympic festivals is to return children to sports. That is why the festival in Prague will also offer a brand new skate park, which will remain in Prague. Our representative in skateboarding Maxim Habanec also took part in its creation, “says Veronika Linková, the manager of communication at the Olympic festivals.
