The Russian government has confirmed its backing for Moscow's bid for the 2012 Olympic Games.
Local media reports say the decision to support the bid was approved during a cabinet meeting earlier this week.
Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov was presented with the bid plans by the Russian Olympic Committee and gave the bid its backing.
Moscow joins a strong line-up of bidding cities for the event, which includes New York, Paris, London, Madrid, and Leipzig.
