MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia are aiming to repeat their third place finish in the medals table at Beijing in 2008 when the squad competes at next month's London Olympics, Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko said on Tuesday.
Russia are sending up to 450 competitors to London and Mutko expects a strong showing in boxing, gymnastics, synchronised swimming and athletics where world record-breaking pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva will try to retain the title she won in 2008 and 2004.
