31 октября 2017

This Olympic stella in the Belarusian capital near the Sports Palace today has a round figure - it's 100 days left before the start of the games in Pyeongchang.

The motto of the Olympic Games 2018 is passion and unity.

In Sochi, almost four years ago, Belarusians had six medals. Today, the hopes for a successful performance are placed on the same sports and on the same athletes as in Russia.

Today the amount of prize money for the team of Belarus at the Olympics was announced. The winner will receive 150 thousand dollars, the owner of silver medal 75 thousand USD, and the bronze laureate will get 50 thousand USD.

The President of Belarus and the National Olympic Committee recently got acquainted with samples of the ceremonial uniform at Pyeongchang..

Belarusians have 21 licenses including 10 biathletes. This is maximum.

Belarusian figure skaters will not perform in Pyeongchang. In men's and women's singles, pair skating and dancing, the selection is officially completed.

Sergei Dolidovich made his debut at the Olympics in 1994 in Lillehammer. In Sochi, he was close to the podium, becoming the fifth in the marathon, but in fact still claims a bronze medal. In the event that it will be proven that there are illegal drugs in the blood of Russian skiers Alexander Legkov and Maxim Vylegzhanin, who were then prize-winners. It is expected that the verdict will be passed next week. Even at his 44 Dolidovich seeks to become not only a participant, but also a competitor at the Olympics in Pyeongchang.

By tradition Belteleradiocompany will widely cover the Olympics. Broadcasts will be provided on three channels.
