The double Olympic champion Arsen FADZAYEV didn't participate in Olympic flame lighting ceremony in Vladikavkaz

The Olympic feast became the main event of today in North Ossetia. Olympic flame arrived to Vladikavkaz and was solemnly lit at republican stadium "Spartak" where, despite notable for the city on Terek a frost, very many people gathered.

In Internet space and on republican television long ago there were numerous reportings and information messages on how it was. 31 persons participated in a ceremony of go-ahead transfer of the Olympic torch – outstanding athletes, veterans, politicians, creative youth. The right to light a bowl of Olympic flame in Vladikavkaz was acquired by the Governor of North Ossetia Taymuraz Mamsurov and the triple Olympic champion Artur Taymazov.

And the ceremony was opened by the Ossetia's first Olympic champion Soslan Andiyev. Our legendary heavyweight – one of three double Olympic champions whom the small republic presented to the world. The second, the deputy of the State Duma of Russia Makharbek Hadartsev, arrived from Moscow and was at stadium, though didn't participate personally in the Olympic torch procession. But where there was the third, glorified Arsen Fadzayev, admitting the best wrestler of the world and holding besides a post of the first vice-president of Federation of wrestling of Russia?

In the section "Miscellaneous" permission to speak was asked by the first deputy chairman of the parliament Stanislav Kesayev and unexpectedly started talking about just last action.

Interrupting the arisen noise, the Arsen Suleymanovich who too is the deputy of parliament of North Ossetia moreover and the head not all convenient fraction "Patriots of Russia" gave exhaustive explanations.

"I the first time hear that someone invited me to this action. It doesn't surprise. Probably, I it deserved", – with bitterness it stated.

In a context told it was possible to continue an interrogative row. At least why in action the strongest person of a planet, the world champion in a bar didn't participate in the heavy weight category, the best athlete of Ossetia Yes, at Cherchesov early collecting together with Perm "Amkar" also. Yes, Tedeev could affect too busy not to put the emergence in awkward position of those to whom he is objectionable. But after all at least gesture of politeness could be observed? !

Meanwhile, I asked permission to speak and there was to a tribune a deputy minister of internal affairs Elbrus Ramonov. It categorically disagreed with Stanislav Kesayev's assumption that behind carrying out all holiday at stadium there is it a department.

"The organizing committee of Olympic flame was engaged in it", – he told …
