in front of administrative buildings and you can still see many of them to this day . one of those most luxurious hotels in a city center was once a stage speeches the metropole hotel built in the beginning of the twentieth century. became a base for the bolshevik government many leaders lived and worked in the metropole and it was often visited by many when he addressed his associates in the one thousand twenties it started functioning as a hotel again for decades its rooms were only available for russian. politicians. can stay at the historic hotel but remember. the hotel has been preserved in its original look despite all the wars and revolutions of the twentieth century here today is the same as it was in nine hundred eighteen when the bolshevik government had its meetings here but. so when

think an event such as this one should be held every year as it is an important occasion for all the current former and future russian olympians and of the population sees its athletes give it their all during the games the exposure would increase regardless of the result. i consider this special day to be a personal holiday for me since i'm in a limb pick champion i'm going to employ of the olympic committee our main goal is to simply expose as many children as possible to sports for a healthier future generation. there is always something to be improved at the governing body of the russian olympic movement but it has helped to raise a lot of champions and wants an athlete takes part in the olympics and then olympian forever. that the banning of everything i do now is connected with sport and that's a great i spend more than twenty years in sport and i don't want to let it go i feel some responsibility and i have to give something back after many people had

a lot is being done to me sports more popular among youth and this event is a big part of the program lots of children here enjoying themselves and hopefully many future sports stars among them the same by the archie must go. and then time the ministry of sports tourism and youth policy should strictly punish any sport federation failing to prepare athletes probably for international competitions that's according to president makes him advantage for the font in the meeting of the sports council. and the head of state believes the sanctions should be tough. this sports ministry must watch particular programs very closely into a call corresponding measures if they are not being carried out properly but the ministry could go as far as to suspend the professional licenses of certain sports federations in the worst case they could even take them away permanently. a bit of football news now on the black and blue half of milan have welcomed their fourth
