MPEI branch in Dushanbe held a contest “Come on, guys!”

On February 21, 2025, the MPEI branch in Dushanbe hosted the exciting "Come on, Guys!" competition, dedicated to Defender of the Fatherland Day in Russia and the 32nd anniversary of the Armed Forces of Tajikistan. The event attracted a large audience and many participants. Four teams of students eagerly took to the field, ready to showcase their skills and team spirit.

Tamara Chirkina, Acting First Deputy Director, delivered a welcoming speech wishing all participants good luck and success. Among the jury members there was introduced Khurshed Nazirov, Chief Judge, along with R.S. Ishan-Khodjaev and Sh.S. Samarova.

The first competition, "Team Introduction," turned into a real show, as teams proudly presented their names and mottos, earning enthusiastic applause from the audience. Next came the "Sewing a Button" challenge, where one participant from each team had just one minute to sew a button onto a piece of fabric. Contestants showcased not only speed but also precision. The first-place winner of this round was Mumin Salimov from group 01-24. The third challenge, "Push-Ups," brought all team members together in a test of strength and endurance. One representative from each team took turns doing push-ups, while the audience eagerly watched to see which team would achieve the best result in 30 seconds. Aslan Saidov and Mustafo Maksudov stood out in this challenge with their impressive performances. The event’s host, Halima Valieva, lightheartedly reminded everyone that “war is war, but lunch is on schedule,” signaling the start of the fourth competition – "Potato Peeling." The team captains demonstrated their potato peeling skills in 60 seconds, while the jury closely monitored both speed and accuracy. In this competition, Mustafo Maksudov proved to be the fastest and most precise. 

The fifth competition, a shooting contest, tested the participants' accuracy. Teams threw darts at the target, and the audience held their breath, eagerly watching which team would score the highest. In the end, three teams each hit the target once, earning 1 point each.
The sixth competition, "Jump Rope," became a true test of endurance. Participants jumped for one minute and also performed tricks such as double and crisscross jumps. Shuralit Shomismatulloev, group 04-24, stood out for his agility and speed. After the intense contests, Chief Judge announced the results. First place was awarded to team 04-24, second place went to group 01-24, and third place was given to Mustafo Maksudov, who competed solo for group 03-24. All teams demonstrated excellent results, but only one team claimed the top spot.

The award ceremony took place in a joyful and festive atmosphere, with all participants receiving well-deserved prizes.

The "Come on, Guys!" competition was a bright event in the life of our university, showcasing the team spirit and athletic abilities of our students. We are proud of our participants and look forward to new victories in future competitions!
