"We must set the priorities for the advancement of university sports in the government’s strategy for the development of physical fitness. Our key priority is to dramatically increase the number of university students going in for sports, from 35% in 2009 to 80% by the year 2020. This number holds the key to our future and to future generations of healthy and strong young Russians."
