We are third-year pupils of school 72 of Saratov. We do
biathlon
and we are Alexandr Loginov`s fans. We know everything
about his sports career because we want to be like him.

3. We think everybody knows Alexandr in our town
because he is the leader of the 2013 junior men’s
individual competition and the hero of the 2013
Biathlon World Cup in Sochi.

4. We are lucky, because Sasha was the pupil of
our sсhool 72. He had his first sports records
in our sports school. When he is in Saratov, he
comes to see us.

5. Here are some photos from his mum`s home collection.
Have a look! – the way to Olympic games is not
for the weak and lazy! And here is our photo

6. We work hard too.
We have some sports results.
We hope to win the Olympics some day!

7. Sasha, we wish you good luck in
Sochi!
South Korea, we are coming!
