莫斯科8月23日电当地时间8月23日，“国际军事比赛-2021”“厄尔布鲁士之环”项目，在俄罗斯卡巴尔达-巴尔卡尔共和国捷尔斯科尔训练中心进入第二个比赛日。
MOSCOW, Aug. 24 -- The second competition day for the Elbrus Ring event of the International Army Games (IAG) 2021 began at the Terskol Mountain Training and Survival Center in the Kabardino-Balkaria Republic of Russia, on August 23, local time.
“厄尔布鲁士之环”是“国际军事比赛-2021”中持续时间最长、危险系数最高、比赛难度最大的项目，今年共有中国、俄罗斯、哈萨克斯坦、印度等9个国家和地区参赛。比赛从海拔2356米比到5642米，途经山林、草甸、碎石、冰雪等路段，全程约116公里，具有参赛课目多、体能要求高、比赛环境恶劣等特点。
The Elbrus Ring event features the longest duration, the highest risk and the most difficult tasks in the IAG 2021. This year, a total of 9 countries and regions, including China, Russia, Kazakhstan and India, have sent troops for the event. The whole 116-kilometer-long competition course ranges from the elevation of 2356m to 5642m, with mountain forests, meadows, gravel, ice and snow involved. Such harsh environment and multiple tasks set higher demands for the physical fitness of participants.
9支参赛队的126名队员将在12天时间里围绕人工岩壁个人攀登、山地定向越野、人工岩壁结组攀登、克服山地障碍地带等15个课目展开激烈角逐。
The 126 participants from 9 teams will compete in 15 tasks including individual and group climbing, mountain orienteering, and mountain obstacle race in 12 days.
在人工岩壁个人攀登赛、山地定向越野2个项目中，我军参赛队的12名队员按第7位出场的顺序悉数亮相赛场。
In the individual climbing and mountain orienteering, 12 Chinese participants set out in the 7th place.
在人工岩壁个人攀登赛中，参赛队员全部出色完成比赛。
In the individual climbing, all the Chinese participants completed the tasks and performed well.
山地定向越野项要求在规定的70分钟内找出图上的20个点。裁判发出信号后，中国队领航员禄绍永按照点位规划路线，队员们快速向目标点开进，在规定时间内，顺利完成比赛。
According to the regulations of the mountain orienteering, all participants should find out 20 designated points within 70 minutes as prescribed. Upon hearing the signal released by the referee, Lu Shaoyong, navigator of the Chinese team, rationally plotted the route on the map, then the team members pressed ahead rapidly toward target points and successfully completed the game within the specified time.
赛后，领队王应学告诉记者：“同台竞技、切磋比拼，相互学习、共同提高。通过比武交流，要学习外军先进的训练思想和理念，为提高实战化训练提供有益借鉴。”
“This is a chance for all participants to compete on the same stage and learn from each other and improve capabilities together. Through competitions and exchanges, we can learn the advanced training concepts of foreign miltaries to improve our combat training level,” said Wang Yingxue, head of the Chinese team.
