According to the unofficial medal count from the second All-Russia Arctic Games, athletes from the Krasnoyarsk Territory led with 66 medals. Yamal was second with 54 medals, followed by the Republic of Karelia whose athletes won 25 medals.

“It is a great honor for us to hold the All-Russia Arctic Games in Yamal for the second time, a real sports gala for the participants and for all sports fans. The athletes have shown their excellent physical fitness, stamina and team spirit. Next year, we should expect equally impressive games.  I am convinced that these competitions will once again become a meeting place and a territory of friendship and exciting sports events,” Director of the YNAA Physical Culture and Sports Department Andrei Masanov said.
