Viktor Bychkov, BC Khimki General Director:

– San Sanych Boloshev was a truly good man. He also possessed a great sense of humor. His friends and colleagues loved him. He was already out of the outgoing type of people who always remained faithful to the idea, ideals, and the mother club. Young Boloshev appeared at the pitch in 1960-s with the letter "D" on his chest. And he ended his career, also in Dynamo. Then he went to work in BC Khimki – in the coaching staff and administrative positions.

The history of the tournament originates from 2005. It was then decided to organize the All-Russian competitions, that with time obtained an international status, and for the past services to Russian basketball it was named in honour of Alexander Boloshev.

It is naturally that the tournament, named in honour of Boloshev, is for those who are just in the beginning of their sports way, for boys born in 1997.

– This tournament is a good chance for young talents to show their worth. I sincerely wish all guys love the GAME. And then it certainly answers you the same, – used to say Alexander Boloshev.

Foster children of the following sports schools – Timiryazevskaya, Gloria, Youth of Moscow – Dynamo, CSKA, Samara and BC Khimki – will take part in the tournament.
