Klim's style: smooth, rhythmic four-turn delivery with excellent countering and long acceleration path — very influential on the next generation of Soviet throwers (including Bondarchuk).

In those years Klim was lighter (ca. 90 kg) and physically weaker than elite Soviet throwers, but he had a strong mental balance and a superior throwing technique

Klim's technique (smooth, powerful four-turn style) was hugely influential in the Soviet system, and many see Bondarchuk's approach as building directly on that foundation — refining power application, rhythm, and the winds/turns that became hallmarks of the 1970s-80s Soviet dominance.

Articles – Good topics for articles include anything related to your company – recent changes to operations, the latest company softball game – or the industry you’re in. General business trends (think national and even international) are great article fodder, too.
Mission statements – You can tell a lot about a company by its mission statement. Don’t have one? Now might be a good time to create one and post it here. A good mission statement tells you what drives a company to do what it does.
Company policies – Are there company policies that are particularly important to your business? Perhaps your unlimited paternity/maternity leave policy has endeared you to employees across the company. This is a good place to talk about that.
Executive profiles – A company is only as strong as its executive leadership. This is a good place to show off who’s occupying the corner offices. Write a nice bio about each executive that includes what they do, how long they’ve been at it, and what got them to where they are.
