back in the day the sport also consisted of five events at the ancient olympics the athletes competed in a stadium foot race discus and javelin throw the long jump and wrestling as the greeks modeled each event in accordance with the skills with perfect soldier at the time the award modern along with a new advance was added to pen south long by the founder of the present day when the games were on pierre de coubertin on now back to the present day russia and its predecessor the soviet union have been winning podium places in men's events in every single impi and that it's important since that celko games in nine hundred sixty four that's a record the country would certainly like to uphold on the london games in twenty twelve however the ladies are hoping to make an impact as well all battle muscle competition for a place on the national team is very high specially for the men's team the dropout rate for women is quite high though as the sport is not for everyone however i was

seen as a healthier and able to get great results in very far east some of our garrulous have even become the european and world champions within just two he is cyprus has over three hundred sunny days per year and that works perfectly with the national team's winter plans when it's impossible to train outside practically anywhere in russia and saturates requires certain infrastructure for their preparation and this has been providing just that to separate hosts sometimes even go beyond traditional requests by their guests to get the hotel where we stayed provided us with a shooting range despite the. fact it is almost impossible to get a permit to shoot in a residential area but still they managed to find a way to make shooting possible for us so they do everything they can to help us in our training they are very hospitable and very attentive to separate economy depends largely on series and during the so-called off season most and surprising hotel owners welcome the athletes from russia and other european countries the

hotel hosting the national modern pentathlon same has been doing just that for the last twenty years a successful business originally started by his father continues to thrive according to the current owner yet many athletes coming to us every year due to the good with it and. we start from swimming we get enough paralympic teams from triathlon a lot of cyclists visit us because the weather is perfect for training and. financial that we see we get to meet a lot of athletes and movie come very good friends with them to separate government recognizes the financial gains from visiting sports teams and continue to modernize their facilities but in the case with the russian athletes all russians in general it's about more than making money and supporting the economy but he will be able to stop super it's love russians because they consider them our loyal friends not just in learning but all across cyprus the russians have stayed by our side when the

stupid republic was going through hard times plus your athletes show us a great example if you have some of the strongest athletes in the world the russians win a lot of medals in the olympic games and world championships is that we set an example to superheat athletes and we take great pleasure in the fact that they choose to come here to train each winter before the summer olympics the island of cyprus turns into a major sports training camp with athletes arriving not only from russia and other eastern european countries but western europe as well is it printed big tournaments in the courts for this mediterranean nation well it certainly has all that directors it's room on cost of artsy learning cyprus. certainly beats the snow in moscow this month anyway and that is all your sport for now i'll see you soon where the weather's next.
