counterparts as a few decades ago two thousand sydney olympic champion said get more. now the head of the pension fund confessed that if it wasn't for sport he would have never achieved his high political status and if he hadn't been so successful after wrestling he would not have been able to help the sports champions of tomorrow. wrestling has helped me to become a respectable person strengthened my will and character and taught me to respect all filters and juniors i will be devoted to it until the end of my days helping to develop wrestling is my holy juta in the face of allah and kids who want to follow my path when i was a child who was often hungry because my family had nothing to eat i don't want today's children to train on it just a mix. two thousand and four olympic champion got a big i excelled in pakistan's second favorite martial art boxing he admitted his youth spent high in the caucasus mountains. drive as an athlete but now

a resident of a big city will ensure that his family's well established sports for dition is passed on to future generations we have been promised a new g.m. since two thousand and four money will finally get in this year the president signed all documents and we will soon open our state of the art books and center so far boxers like me have not had such fine conditions once an athlete makes that proud. picks or the world championships they are set for life however the unspoken local custom has it that the fortunes been currency you must be spirit with traditions like that the world is down to suit here about athletes from this tiny region in many more years to come olympic champions and are usually more than just famous athletes many of them went on to becoming prominent political figures and others give back by raising the future of the big champions and from what i have noticed the poor kind of that is almost bottomless room on cost for

a party or russians republic of dagestan now seen remounted by ten wrestling packages but he's never put on the light cream south maybe someday we'll get lucky but not he's all the sports weather. issues that so many have been told to think you should be sitting on the market for a killing spree by u.s. soldiers the burning of korans and the disapprobation of taliban forces the u.s. says it remains committed to its.
