22-year-old figure skater Misha Ge was born in Moscow, but from an early age engaged in figure skating, he traveled a lot. Together with his parents at age 10, he went to China, then - in Hong Kong and Taiwan. In 2009, Misha Ge moved to the US, and then - in 2013 went to live in Beijing. But due to the fact that his mother has relatives in Uzbekistan, athlete, fluent in several languages, it stands for this Asian country. In 2013, Mike one of the tournaments "blow up" the audience with his performance on the topic has all the boring Gangnam Style.
42-year-old Sebastien Gattuso from Monaco took part, both in winter and in the summer Olympics. Sebastien Gattuso summer competing in sprinting 100 meters. In the winter - it becomes part of the bobsleigh team team Monaco. In his team, he plays the role to be dispersed. Summer Olympic Games in 2004 became his most successful in his career - he was entrusted to carry the banner of the opening ceremony and during his speech at the 100m he set a record of Monaco overcame a distance of 10, 58 seconds. In addition, the records of the principality in the women's 200 meters and shot put are still owned by Sebastian. But at the Games in Sochi Gattuso will battle for victory in the bobsled.
P.S.
Modern technologies allow today to engage in "white" sports in the countries where the snow never falls. Artificial snow and ice can be allowed to become the capital of the Olympic Games in 2018, even the Korean Pyeongchang. And today's athletes are not necessarily to train at home. So do not be surprised and treated with prejudice to the athletes from the southern countries. It is even conceivable that due to the rapid development of the sport in 10 years or 20 we will not be surprised standing on the Olympic podium skaters or hockey players from Nigeria from New Zealand.
that's all, thank you for your attention
