I’ve just read about ESA astronaut Tim Peake who is the second person to finish a full 42-km marathon in space. He studied Russian in St Petersburg and actually I was one of his Russian language teachers .
If you’re interested, you can watch 2 videos (in English) about ESA astronauts learning Russian at St Petersburg State university at Сайт Анны Стрелковской (for those who learn Russian) - Астронавты
