The portal offers many interactive features for its visitors, blogs of famous sportsmen, coaches and commentators. Feel free to query sports professionals and discuss the hottest events of the hour.
The purpose of the site is letting people know about every last thing going on in the sports world. An experienced team of editors and reporters in Russia and abroad work to accomplish that task.
In 2007 Sportbox.ru will observe (on-line) the main sports events of the year:

The web portal has been developed by the specialists of "Key Solutions" corporation. They implemented the company's own framework called Hivurt, based on Zope3 application server. Sportbox.ru, TC Sport's official website, is Russia's first major public site created on that technology. Many factors made us choose that framework, among which efficiency, development speed and scalability. We would also like to stress using open Zope Public License and readiness of the technology for the corporate market.
Zope is an open source application server oriented for highly productive corporate Internet and Intranet systems. Zope is based on a popular high-level object-oriented programming language Python (http://python.org/ ). The core of Zope is ZODB, its object-oriented database. Component architecture of Zope 3 is unique for similar products and allows building flexible and scalable corporate systems meant to grow while development expenses do not grow when projects get larger.
