85th anniversary

When Pelé, the famous Brazilian footballer cost 800 thousand USD as a sportsman, the Georgian ski jumper Koba Tsakadze was officially called 1 million USD. Anyway, the ‘Flying Torpedo’ would not think about leaving his homeland and migrate in a far prosperous western country. This was a man of solid principles whom money could never buy. However, he frequently travelled all over the world, first as a sportsman, and later as an international referee or a guest of honour.
