The general sponsor of the competitions is traditionally Rietumu Bank.
This jazz festival gathers together stars from different parts of the world. It is being held in the capital of Latvia for the third time, invariably with the support of Rietumu Bank.
Its participants were friends of the popular Latvian singer Laima Vaikule from different countries, including Russia and Ukraine.
This year 40 beginner sportsmen from different countries arrived to take personal classes from Vladislav Tretiak and his colleagues – Russia, Belarus, Germany, Japan, Spain and Lithuania. Like every year, the classes were held with the participation of boys from Latvia – a recognised ice hockey country, where much attention is devoted to the preparation of young professionals in this sport.
