Video: Slava talks Olympics… in Russian

Slava Voynov’s English has greatly improved, but in a forum in which he’s answering reporters’ questions and speaking with the possibility of his answers finding their way into print or onto a computer screen, he’s not always the most comfortable sharing his extended thoughts – though he’ll often politely oblige press requests.

In an interesting conversation earlier this week, he spoke to reporters in Russian about the honor of representing his country at the upcoming Winter Olympics. Do we have any LAKI translators?
