It is the northern hemisphere where New Year is
greeted in winter, though in some places it is not always synonymous with snow

masters start each new season on the courts of the Green Continent, in
preparation for the most important event of January, the Australian Open, being

keenness for the upcoming London Olympics

The year 2011 is imprinted in the history by
many outstanding achievements of our fellow countrymen. Their attainments have
ensured the image of Uzbekistan

to that. If one decides to decorate a New Year tree with all the medals won in
2011, there will hardly be enough room on the main New Year tree of the
country.
In 2011 the Uzbek athletes have pleased their fans
