all right it's been an eventful day eight so far at the winter games and chung we saw history on the ice in a major shock on the ski slopes. and joins me now to break it all down so alina let's start with that big upset in the women's super g. tell us what happened so it was definitely one of the biggest upsets in the history of the winter games so what happened as a lot happened she's a twenty two year old from the czech republic she's a two sport athlete her main sport is actually snowboarding and he seals skis those are not even good she have to borrow them from somebody what else and she was really seen as a threat people didn't realize how good she was and at the end because i really thought when it comes along and she just knew everybody away. and until today it's really interesting because you can even see the shock in her face she was surprised she thought it was a mistake but until today she thought that she was the best snowboarder but it

turns out she's the better so some hidden talents there for sure well and what about in men's figure skating we hear we saw history being made tell us about as we did and also thanks to that man over there when you he's the first man to win back to back titles in the men's figure skating that hasn't been done. for the past sixty six years and just look at him he's elegant he is a medic he is magic on ice and he actually was even struggling with an ankle injury he's happy that since november he knew he had to push himself and at the end it was a one time for japan and they also took so silver and is also a special day because javier canvas who took raunch that's the man on the right and that's the first time that an impi gold in figure skating for spain and you see all those we need those we need to prove we're going to get the bad but there's a reason why you see all the stuffed animals and you know i don't know i have to ask what is it with all those when you the toys so those actually harmed you the

japanese figure skaters that was a figure skater that won gold that's his lucky charm there was so much but because of sponsor and branding reasons he's not allowed to bring them with him on the ice so a lot of fans now always bring them with him throw him throw them on the ice and they all go to a good cause actually he donates all those we need to put stuffed animals to charities so i'll make a lot of kids happy after that performance and yeah i mean i don't know i wonder if those good luck charms had anything to do with him winning the gold i mean athletes can be very superstitious indeed and it certainly didn't hurt. to talk if indeed only use for its thank you so much now it's day three of berlin's international film festival the berlin knowledge nineteen films are going head to head for the coveted golden bear and last night there was a lot of buzz surrounding the new film starring robert pattinson dam soul is a new take on an old classic the western our correspondent charlotte charles until

went to check it out. whoever wrote that pattinson goes so did his army of admirers hundreds of screaming fans braved the cold to get a glimpse of the hollywood heartthrob and his costar me of a she coughs up thoughts this waiver section wasn't echoed by the critics at the opening press conference this applause was the most they could muster. pattinson plays a hapless cowboy who with the help of his miniature pony butterscotch and box on a mission to find the woman he loves with a heavy dose of slapstick damsel up tens cliches of a classic western at every turn. never more so than with the she coughs because feisty female lead prompting some to credit the film as a feminist westen an accolade that ties in neatly with the topic that everyone's talking about hashtag me to sort of sort of thing i think is part of like a growing kind of consciousness of changing the way that women are seeing the more

you see kind of empowered or female characters that have a really strong voice and or know who they are or who are challenging expectations that are you know deeply ingrained in culture. the better it is she coughs this character is far from a damsel in distress bhansali not stepped a missed opportunity in a climate of crying out for complex female leads selling a gun toting independent woman as a novelty in a western already seems pretty outdated but in the context of the me two movements this two don't mention a look at the minutes and feels even more jarring so if you are looking for a relevant and challenging take on gender you are bound to leave feeling disappointed turn a blind eye to this and you will find things to like and with pattinson seen as never before is guaranteed to draw the crowds.
