- Gymnast 23.0×
A city rebuilt almost entirely after 1944, and the notable roster is essentially a Soviet-to-post-Soviet sports production line — the Gymnast bench runs at twenty-three times the global baseline, among the highest anywhere, the direct output of the Dynamo academies and the state sports schools. A thick Chess count and outsized Handball, Skater, and Wrestler benches fill out a textbook Eastern Bloc lineup, with almost everything visible here born after the city had been flattened twice in a single lifetime.
