Yesterday, I went ice skating in Gorky Park. There is an area, it is like a fairground in the summer. Instead of closing it in winter, they flooded all the walkways, ponds and open spaces, and turned it into one big skating rink. There were hundreds of people, despite being around minus 12-13 degrees, all dressed up against the cold and enjoying themselves inspite of the cold. There was live music, a big Christmas tree, performers in costume singing and dancing, and it was really a winter carnival atmosphere. I guess they were celebrating their Orthodox Christmas. It was a blue sky, sunny day, and when it got darker, they turned all the street lights on. It was very beautiful between the shadows, the snow, the lit-up areas and a full moon. Whenever I got too cold, there were restaurants along the way, where you could go in with your skates on and get something warm to eat or drink. What a marvelous idea, instead of simply closing the amusement park for the winter.
The only way to survive a long winter is to simply get out and enjoy it.
Equipment: Entrance costs RUB50 ($1.50) and if you do not have your own skates you can rent them for RUB100 ($3.00) per hour. The other prices are reasonable as well. Coffee RUB20. Local beers RUB30. Pizza RUB140. Etc.
Dress warm with lot's of layers and something for your head. Warm is cool.

Dynamo Stadium is the largest and most famous stadium in Mosco. It was built during the 1930's and was modified for the 1980 Summer Olympics. It was state of the art at that time. It is now a dingy, run down building that houses the local Soccer club and a flea market.
It is sad. I was looking forward to visiting this place and was very dissapointed by it's condition.

If you are here in winter and need a fix for some winter sports fun, head over to gorky park and rent a pair of skates. There are several places to do it, some better skates and some worse. The deposit will be from 1000-2000 rubles per pair, depending on which place you rent them from. But you will get the deposit back, the actual cost is only about 100 rubles per hours. The skating is pretty cool because it isn't just around in circles lke so many places, but they actually freeze all the walk ways in the park and use them as skating trails! Pretty cool! AND you can even get a beer if you like to keep you cooled down as you work up a sweat!

Almost sports find in Moskwa a club or society. Football, enjoying a growing popularity, offers a real event en now Russia has taken the European Championship 2008 into it's borders, the sport will only grow in intrest by many.
Moskwa itself has three first league footballteams that compete in heavy rivalry. Spartak, Dynamo and Lokomotiv have many Moskovians as well as other supporters.
