GS magazine

During his visit to Sydney Ginko mentioned that Russian GS Federation started publishing Girevoy Sport magazine. Apparently it will be a quarterly publication and will be about 60 pages on glossy pages. Below is the cover of the latest issue taken from Valentin Egorov's site, http://www.girevik-online.ru/.





I might have mentioned before that GS in Russia is taken seriously, just like any other recognized sport. If you are studying in one of many sports universities in that country you can choose GS as your speciality. There are also many specialized GS schools and official training sections where qualified training is available for those willing to learn.

Now there is the Magazine, another step in the development of the sport. It will contain articles about gireviks as well as technical articles on GS.

This publication means that there is growing interest to GS in Russia, and it is a matter of time that GS grows around the world. And unless you believe that this journal will be used to spread misinformation and slow down gireviks outside of Russia, it is also the testimonial that at this point in time Russian GS is far ahead of competition.

Any word if they;re going to post it on the net for download?

Or better yet an english version so that us non Russian speakers could read as well?
