The tennis tournament annually held in Tuva's capital, Kyzyl, has this year attracted some of the best players from Siberia. This year, it was held in auspice of the Prime-Minister so the purse was bigger. While young Tuvan tennis players compete almost equally with competitors from Irkutsk, Krasnoyarsk, and Abakan, the adult players have not presented quite the same challenge to their foreign competitors. Among the girls the winner is Aldynai Davaa (Tuva), the women, Larisa Kovalenko (Tuva), the boys, Artur Udumbara, and the men, Pavel Sikanov (Krasnoyarsk).

The newspaper, "Risk-Inform" (editor-in-chief is Sergei Gorev) has set up a site online (www.risk-inform.boom.ru), making it the third Tuvan media group to have an internet version--the other two being the information agency Tuva-Online (http://online.tuva.ru), and "Centre of Asia" (www.centreasia.dem.ru). The name "Risk-Inform" is very indicative of its subject matter, which is usually on the edge of decency and criticizes people in power. The Risk-Inform premises has been attempted to be set on fire in the past--it is thought that people who have been insulted in the paper could be to blame.

This evening a shamanic ceremony was performed by the shamen from the Tos Deer (Nine Heavens) Society, with Ai-Churek (Moon Heart) leading. The performance was specially held on the 9th day of new moon, and was devoted to a "moon of yellow leaf", wishing prosperity and well-being to the Tuvan people. The shamen also pleaded for rain, as the dry summer could leave the cattle without food in the winter time.
