Assistant of the Higher School of Sports Education of the Institute of Physical Culture, Sport and Tourism Kirill Prigoda together with Miron Lifintsev, Andrey Minakov and Egor Kornev won gold medals at the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore in the 4x100m medley relay. The swimmers covered the distance in 3 minutes 26.93 seconds.

The guys not only won the first Russian gold in the history of the World Championships in this type of program, but also set a new record for the European and World Championships.

Let us recall that Kirill Prigoda also won this championship gold in the 4x100m medley relay and silver in the individual 50m breaststroke.

Fortune smiled on another swimmer from the Polytechnic, a student of the Civil Engineering Institute, Alexander Shchegolev – he became a prize winner of the 32nd World Universiade, which took place in Germany. Russian athletes competed under the flag of the International University Sports Federation (FISU).

Alexander won silver in the 4x200m relay as part of the team (7:08.33) and bronze in the 100m freestyle (48.34 sec).

The World Universiade was the final start of this season. Of course, not everything worked out, but it was very nice that I managed to take prize places and then see the name of my university at the awards ceremony, – the athlete shared.

Alexander Shchegolev is a two-time world and European champion, a prize winner of major competitions, a participant in the Tokyo Olympics and an Honored Master of Sports of Russia.

The renowned polytechnician, assistant of the Higher School of Sports Education of the Institute of Physical Culture and Sport, Kirill Prigoda became the winner of the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore. He won gold in the 4×100 m combined relay. And before that, he won silver in the individual event at the 50 m breaststroke.

The World Championships are being held in Singapore from July 11 to August 3. On July 30, Kirill Prigoda, Miron Lifintsev, Darya Klepikova and Darya Trofimova won the combined relay. Our team not only won a confident victory in the final, but also set a new world championship record – 3:37.37. This victory went down in history – before it, Russian swimmers had not won the relay at major international tournaments for 22 years! The last time our athletes won was in 2003. Then Kirill Prigoda was seven years old.

The emotions are very pleasant, because the team gave 110%. The guys are great, but the championship is not over yet. We will celebrate at the end of the competition, – said Kirill Prigoda on air at Match TV.

Let us remind you that the Russian team is performing in Singapore in a neutral status. Thus, during the swim it was forbidden to chant "Russia". This is a strict condition of the International Swimming Federation. The team was given a special guide. If we violated it, we were threatened with exclusion from the championship. And even though we did not see the Russian flag or hear our anthem at the awards ceremony, everyone in the world understood that the Russians were on the top step of the podium.

Less than an hour before the team victory, Kirill Prigoda secured the title of vice-champion in the 50-meter breaststroke. In the final swim, he showed a result of 26.62 seconds. This medal was the 11th for the Russians and the first personal award for Russian swimmers at the current championship.

We are proud of Kirill and once again we are convinced that Polytechnic University helps develop abilities and talents in science, creativity, and sports! – noted SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy.

Kirill Prigoda is already an eight-time world champion! He is also a four-time world championship medalist, a two-time European champion, and a silver and bronze medalist at the European Short Course Championships. He currently holds three world records.

The World Championships are ongoing, and Kirill Prigoda has a great opportunity to add to the Russian team’s medal collection.

Polytechnic students at Garage Fest Igora Drive-2025

During these hot days, an equally hot event took place at the Igora Drive circuit in the Leningrad Region — the fourth Garage Fest festival. The Polytech North Capital Motorsport (Polytech NCM) student team became one of the participants in the Formula Student competition and performed well.

There was so much to see at the festival! Four-hour endurance races, drift competitions, exhibitions of rare cars, dragsters and drag racing prototypes, as well as interesting lectures and discussions about the past, present and future of cars.

A separate topic is the international student racing car competition "Formula Student". There, our Polytech NCM team did not get lost among strong competitors from Russia, Turkey and China. The guys proved that they are real engineers and athletes, ready to fight for leadership. At all stages of the competition, they were supported by students from the Polymer association – they tried not to miss a single event of the program, filmed a report, followed the races and, of course, rooted for the Polytechnicians.

To gain access to the races, you need to overcome the stage of static disciplines. Here, Polytech NCM was at its best. The guys passed the technical inspection and presented their car to experts. As a result, the Polytechnicians became winners in the presentation of the business plan, received second place for the report on cost and production, and came in third in the disciplines "Best digital twin of a racing car" and "Protection of the structure".

Thus, the team earned the right to participate in the general race and took fourth place there. The guys were delighted to be among their own again – in the engineering community, where everyone supports each other despite the competition. Now they are set for the new season and expect to improve their result at the next Garage Fest Igora Drive.

White Nights Rally in Karelia: Team Extreme Climbs to Podium

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The sports and technical creativity club "Extreme" took part in the final of the Karelia Rally Cup – the legendary race "White Nights", which took place in the Lakhdenpokhsky district of the Republic of Karelia. In the team standings, the polytechnicians were awarded bronze medals.

The competition was held on roads that had never been used as race tracks before. The new tracks became a real test of strength for the pilots and equipment. The mechanics also had to face various difficulties: on narrow rocky special stages, which were washed away by rain on the second day, not all athletes managed to find a balance between speed and caution.

Three Extreme crews reached the finish line. In the 2000N category, bronze medals were won by Andrey Zhukovsky and Konstantin Mukhamendrikov in a Ford Fiesta, despite the fact that the crew overcame the last special stages with serious problems.

Getting there somehow is better than dropping out of the race, the crew members sum up briefly.

IMMiT 2022 graduate Danil Kolpin and Valery Smirnov earned credit points in the 1600N category on a VAZ-2108. The Polytechnicians assembled the car on the basis of the KSTT from a bare body.

On the first day, the brakes created problems, on the second day, the electrics and gearbox. On such roads, the power steering was sorely lacking. The development vector is clear, we will improve the car and next time we will drive much more effectively, – shared Danil Kolpin.

Pavel Alekseev and IE student Mikhail Krasovitsky were one step away from winning medals in a Renault Logan in the Standard category, which is intended for cars without serious sports modifications.

On the very first special stage, a couple of turns from the finish, we hit the fuel tank and tore off the fuel pump. We got to the service station on a rope and spent the rest of the first day searching for and fixing the problem. We started the second day in eighth place with a big time penalty, we didn’t finish any special stage lower than third place, but, alas, we couldn’t make up the rest of the penalty minutes. In the end, we were fourth. For a fully factory “Logan”, this is an excellent result, but we strive for the best, – said Mikhail Krasovitsky.

It was a tough race for the Polytechnicians. In such conditions, it is important not to give up, to continue the fight to reach the finish. It is impossible to win if you do not reach the end. This is probably our main principle of the team, – commented the team leader, mechanic of the Department of Transport and Mechanization of SPbPU Sergey Korovay.
