but a couple of decades ago this mediterranean auden has become a training base for many russian and take athletes and this story is about the national modern that's a haunting first soften a bit of history for those unfamiliar with this highly competitive big discipline with roots that spread all the way to ancient greece just like in modern pentathlon 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 long jump and wrestling as the greeks modeled each event in accordance with the skills of the perfect soldier at the time the ward modern along with the new events was added to ten times longer by the founder of the present day the games are on pierre de coubertin on now back to the present day russia and its predecessor the sub union have been winning podium places in men's events in every single employee and that it's important since the telco 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 especially for the men's team the dropout rate for women is quite high though as the sport is much for everyone else how have i was seen as a healthier and able to get great results vary from state some of our goals have even become the european and world champions within just two years 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 an outside practically anywhere in russia pentathlete requires certain infrastructure for their preparation and this island has been providing just that the cypriot hosts sometimes even go beyond traditional requests by their guess as to get. the states provided us with a shooting range despite the fact that. it's 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're very hospitable and very attentive to the cypriot 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 scene 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 but yet many athletes are coming to visit us every year due to the good with it and. we start from swimming we get out of paralympic teams and to from triathlon a lot of cyclists visit us because the weather is perfect for outdoor training and other than a financial that we see we get to meet a lot of athletes and movie come very good friends with them the cypriot government

recognises the financial gains from visiting sports teams and continue to modernize their facilities but in the case with russian athletes or russians in general it's about more than making money and supporting the economy we i should know but he would have been the russians because they consider them our loyal friends not just in learning but all across cyprus yeah like the russians have stayed by our side we have to be republicans going through hard times plus your athletes show us a great example russia has some of the strongest athletes in the world the russians win a lot of medals in the olympic games and world championships but we set an example to superheat awfully 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 the prerequisites ramana cost of artsy larnaca cyprus. this is
