Moscow Marathon
Московский марафон

The procession winds its way through Moscow. Leading the way are smiling, waving women dressed in uniforms which are similar to those worn by the proud soldiers of the Napoleonic Wars.. Next comes a full military orchestra, in step and playing loudly. After them are the runners, several thousand of them, representing the four corners of the globe. I am among them, and I simply cannot believe that I am a participant in this awe-inspiring event.

Процессия охватывает улицы Москвы (дословно: процессия обвивает свой путь сквозь Москву). Идущие впереди – это улыбающиеся, машущие женщины, одетые в форму, которая похожа на ту, которую носили гордые солдаты во время войны с Наполеоном. Следующим в такт идет полный военный оркестр и играет громкую музыку. После них идут бегуны, несколько тысяч, представляя пять уголков земного шара. Я среди них, и я просто не могу поверить, что я участник этого захватывающего дух события.

We stop at Red Square in front of the cathedral of St Basil, one of the most beautiful buildings on Earth. The bells on the Spassky Tower of the Kremlin strike 11 times, and the Deputy Mayor of Moscow shouts out the signal that starts us off on our gruelling 26.2-mile race through the streets of the ancient city..

I am running the Moscow Marathon! I repeat these words silently to myself like a mantra. As I quickly look around me, I see that most of my fellow runners are Russian. They are not wearing fancy sun-glasses or namebrand shorts, but they still look like professionals.. What is more, they look incredibly determined to not only complete the course, but to win it. I realise I have my work cut out for me.

Я бегу московский марафон! Я тихо повторяю про себя эти слова,словно мантру. Когда я быстро осматриваюсь, я вижу, что большинство товарищей – из России. Они не носят причудливых солнечных очков или брендовых шорт, но все они выглядят, как профессионалы Более того, они выглядят невероятно решительными не только пробежать всю дистанцию, но и выиграть. Я понимаю, что это задача по мне.

The Moscow Marathon course is surely among the most scenic on the planet. It runs through the heart of Moscow, along the Moscow River, passing the ancient walls of the Kremlin.. Along the route are palaces, cathedrals, churches with shining gold cupolas, well-kept parks, sparkling fountains and stately monuments. The wide avenues and boulevards are spotlessly clean and lined with busy shops, restaurants, and cafés.. From almost anywhere along the course, the seven huge neo-Gothic skyscrapers built by Stalin can be seen.

Московский марафон – это, безусловно, одно из самых зрелищных событий на планете. Он проходит по центру Москвы, вдоль Москвы-реки, проходя мимо древних стен Кремля. На его пути находятся дворцы, соборы, церкви с блестящими золотыми куполами, ухоженные парки, брызгающие фонтаны и величественные памятники. Широкие улицы и бульвары безупречно чисты и усеяны магазинами, ресторанами и кафе. На всем пути почти отовсюду можно видеть семь огромных нео-готических небоскребов, построенных Сталиным.

Before I know it, the finish line comes into view. The last quarter mile! I am nowhere near the front of the pack, but I can hear the boisterous applause ahead as the first few lead runners cross the finish line.. I feel no sense of defeat. I came to this historic city to compete, to complete the Moscow Marathon. In a few minutes I will have done what I had set out to do. And with the little breath that I have left, all I can say is that it is the greatest feeling in the world.

Я и не заметил, как в поле зрения показалась финишная линия. Последняя четверть мили! Я совершенно далек от толпы, но я могу слышать бурные аплодисменты впереди, когда первые лидирующие бегуны пересекают финишную линию. Я не чувствую поражения. Я приехал в этот исторический город, чтобы состязаться, пройти всю дистанцию московского марафона. Через несколько минут я сделаю то, что наметил для себя. И, испытывая нехватку воздуха, все, что я могу сказать, – это величайшее чувство в мире.

Прогулка

Натали подняла лицо к теплому весеннему солнцу и сделала глубокий вздох. Каким же чудом было, подумала она, оказаться вновь на свежем воздухе после долгой, холодной зимы.
“Давай, поторопись, а то мы опоздаем на обед!” – сказал Лео, идя по лесной дорожке спереди.
Они гуляли по лесу все утро, и Лео начинал чувствовать голод после такой нагрузки (дословно: после всех таких упражнений).
“У нас много времени”, – радостно ответила Натали. – “И я пока еще не хочу идти домой. Здесь так мило”, – добавила она.
Лео был удивлен ее энтузиазму. Натали не очень-то и хотела идти на прогулку, когда он первый раз предложил ей это.
“Забавная ты”, – сказал он. “Откуда у тебя так внезапно столько энергии?”
“О, я не знаю (дословно: я не уверена)”, – сказала Натали, счастливо улыбаясь. “Но, может быть, свежий весенний воздух и хорошая компания имеют какое-то отношение к этому”.

Москва принимает уникальные зимние спортивные события

В феврале 2008 года 25 тыс. зрителей посетили чемпионат мира по катанию на сноуборде в Московском государственном университете. Самый молодой участник соревнований, 15-летний Руп Тонтери из Финляндии, попа в финал и занял втрое место. Это событие стало возможным благодаря особой наклонной установке высотой в 46 метров.

В январе 2009 года Россия вновь проявила поддержку зимним видам спорта. а Воробьевых Горах в центре Москвы была построена специальная гигантская лыжная установка для чемпионата мира, проводимого международной горнолыжной федерацией. Она была такой большой, что попала в Книгу Рекордов Гиннесса.

Для проведения в Москве чемпионата по горным лыжам Международную горнолыжную федерацию вдохновил успех чемпионата по катанию на сноуборде, который был проведен в 2008 году. По иронии судьбы во время проведения нового чемпионата в Москве стояла самая теплая зима, и снег пришлось доставлять из Сибири. Снег транспортировали в вагонах-рефрижераторах.

Более 20 тыс. людей увидели чемпионат в Москве 2009 года. Шестнадцать лучших участников международного класса из 10 стран приняли участие в параллельном слаломе, включая двух Российских спортсменов. После соревнования эти атлеты посетили Сочи. Им показали место Зимних Олимпийских Игр 2014 года, и они прокатились на лыжах с Российским премьер-министром.

Эти события в Москве ясно продемонстрировали миру готовность России устраивать зимние спортивные события в будущем.
