Daniel Cecetka: Vertical running competition at "Flame Towers" will generate great interest

"Vertical running has its own stars, and the competition at the "Flame Towers" will generate great interest."

This was stated to Idman.biz by Daniel Cecetka, President of the World Vertical Running Association (TWA), who is on a visit to Baku.

He said that he had been planning a trip to Azerbaijan for a long time: "Finally, I was able to come to Baku and discuss many interesting projects. It was interesting to talk with the Minister of Youth and Sports Farid Gayibov, the founder of the "Triterra" club Rufat Hasanov, and discuss joint projects. We can officially announce that "Flame Towers" will host a vertical running tournament on September 27."

According to the TWA president, this tournament will attract numerous sports enthusiasts: "Azerbaijan is a new place and a new competition. The opportunity to come here, see Baku and the "Flame Towers" is of interest. I think that hundreds of vertical running masters can participate in the tournament, for them it will be a new challenge."

He added that vertical running has its own fans and stars: "Our calendar has many events and rankings that include more than just running in high-rise buildings. We have our own stars from Japan, Australia, Indonesia and many other countries. At the same time, we are working to expand the calendar and look for new places. We are in a constant process."

Speaking about vertical running in Azerbaijan, Cecetka recalled the competition held by the "Triterra" club in the "Chinar Plaza" business center for three consecutive years: "We follow not only large events, but also events with a short history, but gaining popularity. In this sense, the example of "Triterra", which implemented the idea, is indicative. I think we will have a number of joint projects ahead."

The Qrum official emphasized that he will visit Baku again in the near future: "I am leaving tomorrow, but I will definitely come to the "Flame Towers" tournament in September. I try to be actively involved in vertical running. However, as the president of the organization, this is an additional responsibility. In addition, each race requires serious preparation. What I saw in Azerbaijan made the most pleasant impression. See you again in Baku."

It should be noted that today the Minister of Youth and Sports Farid Gayibov received TWA President Daniel Cecetka.
