When people think of sport in Russia, Moscow and St. Petersburg come to mind as the obvious leading cities. Few would include Kamchatka as a hub of world-class activity and few people know that this remote peninsula is one of the centers for Russian alpine skiing. Kamchatka has nominated 5 athletes for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Sochi, more than any other region in the Russian Far East.
Downhill Skiing: The Russian Olympic team is represented by Kamchatka natives Maria Bedareva and Elena Yakovishina, Masters of Sport of Russia and current instructors at the Alpine Ski School "Edelweiss" that has earned reputation by its coaching methods and raising successful Soviet and Russian alpine skiers. Talented Maria Bedareva finished 13th in downhill at the European Cup in Austria in 2014 giving herself a new position as leader on the Women's Downhill Skiing team.

"Land of Bears, 2014" is a 3D docu-drama providing a look into the lives of a family of brown bears of Russia's Kamchatka peninsula. Filmmaker Guillaume Vincent spent 500 days filming, following in particular a four-year-old cub as he starts out on his own - away from his mother for the first time - amid a community of hundreds.
The documentary was co-scripted by Yves Paccalet, a French ecologist who served as scriptwriter for Jacques Cousteau; shot by key crew responsible for the underwater scenes in Disney's 2010 documentary Oceans, and captured in 3D by stereographer Manning Tillman - the man behind Avatar and Life of Pi.
