Dear citizens of Tatarstan!
New Year is a special holiday. It is the time of high hopes and good mood, the time of summarizing results and making plans for the future. I hope that next year will bring joy and happy moments.
We hosted XXVII Universiade in 2013. It was the real holiday of youth and sport, friendship and mutual understanding. I would like to express gratitude to all Tatarstan citizens for help and support during preparation for the Games.
The Olympic Torch Relay ceremony Sochi-2014 finished in Tatarstan near Kazan Arena stadium on December 31. The Olympic cauldron was lit on the stage near Kazan Arena stadium.
