"Preliminarily, our Russian team, which is playing in various disciplines, ranks first. The second place is occupied by the Chinese People's Liberation Army team and the third one by Kazakhstan. The contest in all the disciplines has already begun and the competition is ongoing in all of them," Gorbatenko said.

According to the chief referee, some teams are very strong, so the uncertainly regarding the winner remains.
