They might have encouraged it more for National Prestige than for recreation or out of kindness but one of the good things about the former European Eastern Block Counties was the culture of fitness sport and musicianship.

The gymnasts still have their clubs and put on an impressive display and the only advice I can offer is don't forget to put on your knickers.
