Background
The 1st Energy of Victories national sports journalism festival contest was organized by Gazprom in 2011. Since then, over 2600 journalists from all Russian regions and 21 countries within and beyond the former Soviet Union have participated in the contest.
The 12th Energy of Victories festival contest was organized by the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) and the Federation of Sports Journalists of Russia. Gazprom acts as a general partner in the contest. The contest involved more than 350 journalists from Russia.
Close collaboration between Gazprom and the ROC began with the signing of a long-term cooperation program in 2001. Gazprom provided the ROC with support in training Russian athletes for the Olympic Games in Salt Lake City (2002), Athens (2004), London (2012), and Sochi (2014). Gazprom also built unique industrial facilities and sports venues in the lead-up to the Winter Olympics 2014.
On October 23, 2014, Gazprom and the ROC signed the Memorandum of Cooperation. Gazprom was named as a General Sponsor of the Russian Olympic team and provided it with support in preparation for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro (2016), Pyeongchang (2018), Tokyo (2020), and Beijing (2022).
