The "Five Rings of Moscow" is a road bicycle racing stage race which was to start nearby just minutes from when this was written. The announcer spoke in Russian, then in English. I went to correct him when he said that racers should come and put their "sign" at registration.
The first entry from the USA was in this race, and as it is May 2, on the speaker system the race host asked the young contestant if he knew the meaning of yesterday May 1, International Worker's Day. No. Told that it started in the USA, the host asked if he knew when it started. The young American's answer: April.
