In addition, beginning pupils in the Czech Republic also have half-year holidays on the same day. “Schoolchildren and their parents and grandparents can enjoy their time off. To do this, they have the opportunity to try different sports in one place. In addition, all sports venues are in the fresh air, “said the mayor of Brno, Markéta Vaňková, who reminds that Brno has given ten million crowns to organize the event.
The most visible change from the last Olympic Festival is that all sports venues, with the exception of curling, are outdoors. “For the first time ever, the Olympic House is being prepared for visitors. And just like in the summer during the Tokyo Games, the EDA Olympic Education Zone will operate in the winter, where children will learn not only a lot of interesting things about winter sports, but also about the Olympics, the Olympic Games and their values. Adults and older children will also be interested in the outdoor part of the exhibition full of interesting facts about the Winter Olympics, “said the mayor of the second largest city in our country.
