World Class Virginia|11:42 UK time, Wednesday, 5 October 2011

Pupils from Yekatarynburg and Redruth play volleyball together

Coming soon ...
The World Class team, sixth-formers Amy and Louise and teachers from Redruth Technology College are just back from Yekaterinburg, Russia where they paid a visit to the Special School of the Olympic Reserve and School No 108.
The Olympic School has produced almost 150 Olympians, including World Olympic Dreams athlete Ivan Ukhov. Their twin school from Cornwall went to find out how they do it and pass on some tips of their own. They also got a crash course in Russian culture and picked up some of the lingo.
Keep an eye on the World Class site to find out what happened ...
