Sports Boarding Schools
A number of Olympic Reserve schools are sports boarding schools (Russian: спорт-интернат). Children live, study and receive advanced sports training there. Sports boarding schools can be either one sport oriented or multisports. In those schools children spend most of their time off studying practicing sports or perfecting certain skills.
One of the advantages is access to high-level professional coaching for children from remote villages and towns while having relatively cheap boarding, meals and education. Sports boarding schools provide the best sports training possible.

Famous quotes containing the words sports and/or schools:
“I looked so much like a guy you couldn’t tell if I was a boy or a girl. I had no hair, I wore guys’ clothes, I walked like a guy ... [ellipsis in source] I didn’t do anything right except sports. I was a social dropout, but sports was a way I could be acceptable to other kids and to my family.”
—Karen Logan (b. 1949)
“Our good schools today are much better than the best schools of yesterday. When I was your age and a pupil in school, our teachers were our enemies.
Can any thing ... be more painful to a friendly mind, than a necessity of communicating disagreeable intelligence? Indeed it is sometimes difficult to determine, whether the relator or the receiver of evil tidings is most to be pitied.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
