On July 10 in the stadium «Yunost» the Water Battle among the participants of the International Science Games-2018 was held. The entrance to the event was only available for the organizers and participants of the YISG-2018. They were given water pistols and water in plastic bottles for «refueling».
Under the Russian and world hits that sounded from the big sound system near the stage, participants were split into two teams and after the signal , they all set off for the Water Battle.
In addition, there was the photo printer which was placed near the stage, which with the help of the participants could print out from their Instagram page for free any photo for themselves, including the Selfie from the Water Battle itself. There was a whole line of people who wanted to print and take with them a «fresh» photo for memories near the Instabox. There were more than 100 people who attended this event.
Nariyana Bubyakina, YISG volunteer :
«Everything is very fun, because there are foreigners here too! Even if don’t know the language you still make friends in this «battle» they are united, so there is such a «union» of peoples. I think this is very cool».
Yurianna Timofeeva, participant of the Yakutsk International Science Fair:
«There are full of traitors (laughs) … In fact, it’s very fun and refreshing. It’s very cool that there are a lot of people and you can shoot at strangers. Everybody is so cheerful and friendly. When I came here, I was dying from the heat, but after the «Water Battle» it got better and I cheered up. Organizers very famously completed this day, because we had the first conference with the guys today within the framework of the YISG, which was very difficult, there was a tense atmosphere, so the mood is on top! And we also have a trip by boat on the Lena River tomorrow, and it’s just amazing!»
Nikolay Sosin, participant of the YISG Multimedia School:
«It was very funny! I really wanted to sleep before the game, but now after dousing with water, I cheered up. You can meet your friends from school at the same time, and not only … So everything was very cool!»
