Russian Olympic line-up is confirmed

According to the decision of the Council of Coaches the composition of the Russian Olympic team has been determined. Some slight and minor changes are possible but are not that likely even though there will be some test competitions for the team in Irkutsk on 1 & 2 August.

Irkutsk's local authorities have organised a special training camp for the national Olympic team who with a few exceptions will fly from this city in Russia Far East to Beijing. There is practically no jet-lag from this journey and for the training camp the weather conditions resemble those in China.
