Darya Klishina

Long jumper Darya Klishina is the only track & field athlete to represent Russia in Rio 2016. A two-time European champion, she is the darling of the Russian media. Rio 2016 will be the first Olympic Games for Darya, and a lonely one in the absence of all her team-mates.


Yulia Efimova

Current 100-meter breaststroke world champion Yulia Efimova was eventually given the nod to compete in Rio. She won her appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport against the FINA decision to ban her from the Games because of past doping. A four-time world champion, two years ago Yulia left Russia and started training in the US, which helped her avoid the fate of other Russian swimmers. Yulia won 2 silver medals in the women’s 100 and 200 meters breaststroke. Rivals and spectators alike showed their disapproval at Yulia’s participation in the Olympics.


Yana Kudryavtseva

Yana Kudryavtseva is Russia’s leading light in rhythmic gymnastics. Just 18, Yana is already a 13-time world champion. The blonde girl is heading for her debut Olympics as a favorite: Having entered adult sports in 2013, she has become the youngest world champion ever. And Kudryavtseva has given no reason to doubt her superiority in the future as well.

"Actually, I never worry. Perhaps that is just how my nervous system is," Kudyavtseva said in an interview with Sport-Express. It is possible that it was her unique psychological stability that helped her win five gold medals at the 2015 world championship in Stuttgart, even though she had a fractured foot.


Maria Verchenova

In 2008 Maria Verchenova became Russia’s first ever player in the Eurotour Golf Championship, the most prestigious tournament in the world of women’s professional golf. Since golf is now an Olympic sport, Maria will represent Russia as her country’s sole player in the women’s competition.


Aliya Mustafina

Gymnast Aliya Mustafina. Six years ago she was untouchable, but then in 2011 suffered a serious injury. Since then, training has gone hand in hand with operations and recuperative therapy. Aliya is an Olympic champion and three-time winner of the World Championship. At her first Olympic Games in London she picked up four medals, becoming the most decorated gymnast (and athlete, save for swimmers) at the 2012 Summer Olympics. In Russia Aliya is a symbol of sporting courage and determination, and she has already won Olympic bronze in the women’s all-round gymnastics in Rio.

Can't be bothered to adjust images your site hates ...

Moby ....nothing new about your idle behaviour.

Hanna discovered the article and photos at: http://rbth.com/sport and I helped on the technical part so the post looks nice and tide unlike your usual "perfect" jobs.

To avoid accidents in the future, I copied the photos on our server......and you can check the article yourself at the above link.

As about the other Russian Olympic winners..... I have not a clue, as I did not watched the Olympics.

If you need help to tide up your posts.... just ask me.

Wiz - you cannot be honest about the poster - can you - ?... 'idle behaviour' =spotting BS

Sort out your sites daft image limitations - might get you more visitors

Wiz, you don't 'get it' - people don't like their posts being messed with

Morning Moby

You are up very early and busy ...I see..

Can you write in simple language what exactly are you talking about ....above?

PS: Have I touched any of your posts... now?

Not 'Noby' ? :))




Your suggestion to tide = tidy -my post ...hence the comment about NOT editing my posts ..The comment re my English is ironic :))




Not, yet ..good boy ...


Sure, you know what they say about 'stats' ?

The proof of the pudding is ..

Who is posting ? - you in the guise of others and me ? :)))


We don't know who is visiting - other than bots?


Well, I doubled you traffic

No Moby

as long as you will keep a decent behaviour I will not ban you or correct anything of yours but if you start the same old games...... I have no time for that.

At the moment I have a large site to finish and writing CSS Code is a pain in the butt...so please be nice.

Just for your info the stats tell me exactly all the activities of every visitor and I can assure you many old members keep coming and reading, without posting! But the majority of visitors are looking for sexy photos....

I only use wiz and not another persons ID to post. Lucky posts from time to time... busy with family and Hanna was just interesting to show off the Russian beauties.... because they attract traffic... so I helped her to make a nice post.

'games' ? You mean taking you to task ?:))

Here's a sexy photo for your 'visitors' ..Doesn't this Greek Island look great in the morning ?

Yes it does fit well in the Greek scenery and the blue clear waters of the Aegean Island (?) so now we know why your mouth is dribling ...when you look and dream about past happy days! When are you going back?

I am sure the Turks, Iranians and Indians..... will flood this page, so I will keep an eye on the visitors count on this post.

Is it difficult for you to center the photo, looks better on the post ..... and please put a static photo in your avatar or you prefer me to put the dog there? Thanks.

Dear Wiz

My avatar is my choice .. that you would even SUGGEST changing it proves you never learn from past mistakes :))

The island is Kastellorizo - 2 km off Kas, Turkey in the MEDITERRANEAN SEA - the eastern most populated Greek Island
