Freestyle Skiing At Its Best From Russia's Fifty Billion Dollar Winter Olympic Games...

These gold medal images of some of the best skiers in the world show the years of dedication they've put into their sport. Look at the grace, the style, the choreographed artistry that's gone into their delicate and yet freestyle manoeuvres that they carry out at great speed.
These are just some of the world's greatest sportsmen and women who are taking part in Russia's obscenely expensive winter olympics
at Sochi.
Fifty billion dollars could feed a lot of people...

Being Physically Fit In Moscow Can Get Commuters Free Subway Travel...

If you're fit enough to do thirty squats in front of these special monitors set up at Moscow's Metro terminals, you can get yourself free travel on the subway.
It appears that Russia is keen on keeping at least some of its citizens alive and while they mightn't be as fit as the national team competing in the Sochi Winter Olympics at least they'll be in good shape.
While Moscow may miss out on some rail fares it may actually be saving the state funded health system a lot of money.
Looks like a great idea and a lot of fun. Perhaps other countries will come up with similar innovative ideas to encourage their citizens to stay healthy...
