第十四届世界田径锦标赛刚刚在莫斯科结束,飞人博尔特共获三枚金牌。在未来几年里,俄罗斯将迎来一系列国际体育大型赛事。国际田联主席称此次赛事为“精彩的庆祝”。以下是 Alex Capstick 从莫斯科发回的报道。

Usain Bolt's brief address appreciated by his audience inside the Luzhniki stadium, where the atmosphere significantly improved after a flat opening few days. People came in relatively large numbers.
