Soviet literature dealing with sport and physical training

[Dunja Popovic]

Hello, everyone!

I am looking for Soviet fiction and poetry from the period 1917-1953 
dealing with the theme of sport and physical training. I am interested in 
so-called "khudozhestvennaia literatura" -- not non-fiction -- but any 
examples of sportswriting done by novelists, poets or playwrights would 
also be of interest. I would really appreciate any pointers. Thanks!

P.S. - If you know of any fiction dealing with a different type of 
physical training than that associated with sport -- e.g. with dance or 
some kind of work-related bodily training -- I would welcome these tips, 
as well.
