The ISC open championship in skiing, , dedicated to the Day of Russian Science, was held on February 4-5, 2023 on the Akademgorodok track in Irkutsk. The participants had to compete for two days according to the Gundersen system: run the distance on the first day in the classical style without missing the first day advantage on the second day, and, if possible, change the style to free running - in other words, on the second day there was a “pursuit race”. Representatives of our institute took the 2-nd team place among 8 ISC divisions , and individual prizes. Congratulations to colleagues: Vera Yakhnenko (1-st place in group), Petr Alekseev (1-st place), Olga Kustova (1-st place), Alexander Chebykin (1-st place), Evgeny Chebykin (3-rd place), Oksana Izosimova (4-th place), Maria Bashenkhaeva and the son of Irina Tikhonova - Ivan Makarov, a young growing biathlete.
