President of Russian Biathlon Union Alexander Tikhonov prohibited members of Russian combined team to read before start. The measure is introduced for protection of eyes before forth-coming shooting. "I was prohibited to read my favorite philosophic books - Jacque Derride and Yurgen Habermas, - complained 39-year old Sergey Chepikov. - Alexander Ivanovich has ordered to forget about philosophers and opera arias for period of Olympics. Therefore, I and my neighbor by house Sergey Rozhkov have plenty of spare time - we walk and don`t read. Our house is situated just above the highway - at the height of 1700 meters above sea level against 1670 meters. It is not a big deal but sportsmen of such rank as me and Rozhkov deserve better conditions". As a reminder, first set of Olympic medals will be played in individual male race for 20 km today. Russian Pavel Rostovzev, Maxim Chudov, Ivan Cherezov and Sergey Chepikov will participate in it.
