History of "Shakhtyor" sports center


At the beginning of 1983 when not all the stages of the mine were put into operation yet, the management made a serious decision to start construction of the sports center for the miners. Even at that time many different competitions took place in the sports hall of "Bogatyr" belonging to the construction company, but the miners had no sports hall of their own.

At that time construction company " Yakutuglestroi" had their own sports center and ski center. Among those who encouraged the idea of the miner's sports center were V. Klebanov, the director of the future sports center and V. Alexin, the chairman of the miners' trade union. The decision was to start from the football field. But at that time somebody found out that there was the hanger for the warehouse that had to be transported to Yakutsk. The decision was to leave this hanger in Nerungri. And it became the basement for "Shakhtyor" sports center. In April they arranged "subbotnik", people cut down the trees, prepared the grounds for the future stadium. So, that's how it started.
Very soon there appeared a project for indoor skating-rink. And a year later it was put into service. The skating -ring has natural ice , and it is open for skating from the middle of October to the beginning of May. There are all possible conveniences for people: cloak-rooms, buffet, hire of stock.
Then in 1987 the construction of swimming -pool started. This the two-storey building.
On the ground floor there are office premises and on the first floor there are 4 cloak-rooms, showers and the swimming-pool 25 х 13 m. In 1989 Health care center was put into service. It consists 2 saunas with swimming-pool 6 х 3 m, rest-room and hairdressers.
As of today sports center has universal hall for 1000 seats and 3 playgrounds. Floor cover was made on special l order by "Politan". The hall can be used for training at the three grounds at the same time. The ground suits for football, basket-ball, volley-ball, tennis, aerobics. Besides it can be transformed to the concert hall . There is also the hotel with 18 rooms, hall for karate-do, caf? and offices. Today this complex is the only one in Siberia and Far East. And the most important thing about it is the fact that the complex is open for all people living in Nerungri.
The sports center has got the highest qualification and it is included in the list as the place for international competitions and tournaments .
