Mordovia

Day -122 WorldCup2018

Watching snowboarders flip and twist as they slide (ride?) down a half-pipe has lulled me into a bit of a daze. The same thing over and over and over. Bring back the curling.

So I'm borrowing an old newspaper story today. It describes the most unlikely of World Cup host cities, comparable to Manaus in Brazil: a fancy new stadium in a city that is home to a third division football team, and that has a dubious past in Russian history. But they like President Putin.
Have a read.
