An Olympic lunch with Tatyana Lysenko

Tatyana Lysenko, Olympic-gold-medal winner in the hammer throw is sure of one thing: In order to come out on top, you have to eat right. Being from Russia’s southern Rostov Oblast, Lysenko knows how to make true Russian borsch – one that is so thick that you can stick a spoon in it and it will stand straight up. She shares this recipe with us and for the second course of her Olympic-style lunch she prepares a salo- and garlic-stuffed potato, all with the help of RTG TV host Natalya Krylova.
