AleXX - formula of victory

Hanti-Mansiysk City, Russian Federation.

Just here a final stage of world cup on biathlon - Rhurgas I.V.U. world Cup 9 was held during five days.

A temperature of air does reach a bit to minus thirty.

The ceremonial rewarding goes on. Sportsmen in the form of the national combined team of Ukraine stand on the podium.

Eugen Kolupaev, head coach of the national combined team, is satisfied - in this season his trainees, Ukrainian biathlonists, won the second place in the world cup final.

Today our combined team on biathlon is strong, as never before – among its members are the people, accustomed to conquer the most important victories - Andrei Derizemlya (just he had won silver in Hanti-Mansiysk), Oksana Hvostenko, Olga Perova… There are 26 medals, cups of Europe, junior cups on the account of our combined team.

The EUROSPORT channel translates competitions directly on the air. Here a cameraman shows the Ukrainian sportsmen close-up, and the attention of spectators is arrested by a logotype of the trade mark AleXX on the skiers’ uniform. It is sewn next to the national small flag on breast of ski jackets, it is embroidered on the warm sporting caps, and it shows off on the butts of sporting rifles of biathlonists.

Barely waiting till returning of our sportsmen to Kiev, our correspondent at once arranged on the phone with the head coach Eugen Kolupaev.

Corr: Eugen Fedorovich, let us give you compliments to victory. Whether was it difficultly to win the silver this season?

Е.К.: Rather not simply. Final stage of world cup, our boys competed with the biathlonists of world standard.

Corr: On the uniform of winners we noticed the logotypes of the only trade mark AleXX. Why exactly AleXX?

E.К: AleXX is the sponsor of the national combined team of Ukraine on biathlon. And they help us very much. And our today's victory is as well the victory of AleXX. I scarcely think that without their help we would attain such success. This is a very good sponsor. In particular - in Norway we had wrecked our three busses, hard roads. AleXX granted us with bus and sporting uniform. We are very pleased with the business of a new formation which appeared in Ukraine, business, which supports domestic sport and is a great help to Ukrainian sport in bringing new glory and new victories...
