Background

The nationwide Energy of Victories festival-contest among sports journalists was organized by Gazprom for the first time in 2011 within the Gazprom 2014 project.  Over 1,000 journalists from all Russian regions and 10 CIS and non-CIS countries have participated in the contest since its start.

The Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) acted as the organizer of the 5th Energy of Victories festival-contest.

Close relationship between Gazprom and ROC started in 2001 with the signing of a long-term cooperation program. Gazprom provided financial support to ROC to help training Russian athletes for the Olympic Games: in Salt Lake City (2002); in Athens (2004); in London (2012); in Sochi (2014). Gazprom constructed unparalleled production facilities and sports venues within the preparations for the Winter Olympics in Sochi.

On October 23, 2014 Gazprom and ROC signed a Memorandum of Cooperation. Gazprom was named the general sponsor of the Russian Olympic team.
