these days female pilots are a rarity and during world war two many women dreamt of becoming friends in one nine hundred forty one three female air force regimental forms of what's changed and he will have learned that you may not want to fly these two women that the bogus testing has or that at that time it was a government task that in the soviet union the government didn't try to save on a free education planes or gasoline i don't think much fewer women have the desire to fly now but it's become very expensive when i joined the voluntary society for corporations with the army i was wondering whether to become a paratrooper or a pilot again right now before you can even begin to choose what you want to do that you have to see if you can afford it of course women are calm but fewer and fewer every year most simply can't afford it but i'm not a full time instructor just yet because i'm still enacting sportswoman plus thing i have two small kids so really don't have the time to do everything but. i

understand you husband is also a sportsman but your profession is much more extreme what does your family think about. it look at that and yes i'm very thankful to my family for all their support right now my son is in the second grade and my daughter is in the first so i'm constantly torn between their school and my training but my family's very understanding first of all a woman pilot is a woman that she has to be feminine soft and charming but at the same time she must be able to stop running horse and a burning house as we say in russia she's got to be tough basically. you said that living do you want to become eyelets but very few can afford it how many professional female pilots are there in washington right now this is unfortunately at this point we don't even have a female sports team in the national team there are only two women. i'm one of them

maybe two or three more professionals but that's it we don't have any young pilots they could three places in the sports today the only young pilots we have are those who can afford it many of them are ok but it's a hobby for them they're not aiming to become pros and to become a pro it shouldn't be a whole big it should be your life if you want to win medals by a country and if it's in the ring in a blue shirt you're nonetheless russian women if you had you fly has been showing good results recently how is that possible then. you can forget how to ride a bike same applies to flying planes it's very expensive to fly right now like i said before so for course if you don't fly enough hours but year your level goes down and it takes more effort to be aerobatics during the championships with your skills congo away so it's thanks to the old experience that we still show good results so that now what needs to be done in russia for the sports aviation to get

back its international sea just like it was in the u.s.s.r. was not the one that's what our government should pay more attention to be a sion for now it's still just talk nothing has been done and yet when i met president dmitry medvedev i suggested a number of ways how sports evasion in russia can be improved but the first of all i think a center for aerobatics should be created but so far i think the country's officials don't really understand what it should be like or maybe they don't really need it we have been talking about it for the past two years but still no center but no planes no financing and no young pilots i don't know how we will keep winning championships. she's lucky little kinds of professional pilots at the moment is that for the same reason or are they are the obstacles at the premium up of a saw the problem is the same you there are no centers for educating pilots but a lot of airfields have become villages private airfields there. too expensive once

again our clubs go bankrupt they have no equipment in the us aside the best pilots from all across russia would gather for national competitions right now there's simply no writings movement the same pilots compete against each other every time the instructors who learned to fly in the soviet union are the only ones who can compete right now more than that i let them get me into any parallels between the performance of russian quality in international airborne championship and the recent olympic games. but in the what are you multiple with there are some parallels and something i've been declares as well the main one is the division between olympic sports and not only big sports the two are so separate right now that all of the non limpid forms are dying out on the big sports are better financed by young sportsmen receive a lot of support from the government but for us it's different than average age in our aerobatics team is forty five fifty years old little good you talked

a lot about the lack of financing from the government how much does it cost to change the professional aerobatics pilot here. i'm not sure about exact figures but what i do know is that training one aerobatics pilot is definitely less expensive than a training any olympic sportsman just to give you an idea to be in good shape one has to fly at least one hundred hours with one hour flying is one hundred twenty leaders of kerosene one leader costs about thirty dollars so it's pretty easy math but you also have to include other costs of course and when it comes to preparing military pilots it's even more expensive and it is much better to train them on sports planes were before putting them on fighter jets often it's too late on it turns out a pilot has a weak this tabular system if you were put on a sports plane first it would all come out immediately another important thing about training on sports planes regardless of what kind of party. you want to

become a military or civil pilot everyone has to go through it at least minimum aerobatics many say for example that to believe planes do not come out of spends i'm not a pro in this but i'm sure if you put one of our best sports pilots in the plane they will do it it's just that civil pilots are not taught properly it all comes down to saving money for these if a lot of the level with the president may be good if we simply spoke about the need to modernize the air force industry in the country do you see any progress. is that your question of course our officials have their own vision of how it should be but from the insider's point of view it's going very slowly we need to have open their space like in the u.s. or europe people should be able to fly freely it should be easier job register planes because it's easy to buy a plane and russia but almost impossible to register it it's very expensive and takes an enormous amount of paperwork that there's plenty of problems and we don't

see them being solved directly this to do you think the performance of our pilots in international competitions reflects the state of airborne forces in the country or do we perform well despite a lack of financing from the government for this board yet if they do it's not really no because as i said before we show good results because we were talk back in the u.s.s.r. all of our best pilots are over forty five years old if we used to fly sixty to eighty hours a year right now we barely fly ten hours english last time it took less than twelve hours to prepare for the european cup first of all it affects our health we used to have three months breaks after championships then we would start training again and slowly getting used to the g. forces not just starting from minor g. forces small spins now we have to perfect the hardest aerobatics in just ten hours and no one cares about our health i have to say i am lucky to work with the company

provides us with proper healthcare and payment a look at its leather what kind of planes do you prefer to fly russian or foreign. yes you will you will i love flying russian planes i want to fly them forever it's very sad though that the plane production has stopped at the moment and with no government support the process will not be restarted the only plans the russian aerobatics team might switch to in the near future are german planes but of course even for psychological reasons we don't want to do that so my up i hope we will be able to fly russian planes after president medvedev spacek of modernisation of the russian air force industry is implemented and i hope they'll be applause about sports have ation as well but it's only support me see that air sports are the most intellectual ones why's that. well of course apart from being physically strong and having a good visit to the large system one has to be able to react very quickly and be able to make difficult decisions without the panicking and the in an extreme

though today the players are far from being an active duty even minutes away now let's jump straight to that history this team has never been crowned champions in either the u.s. is so far the russia however it's becoming increasingly evident that sky are becoming russia's next major i saw the power of the club's two hundred star studded rock star being only one of the factors on the road to success a scot and kontinental hockey league president alexander madrid explains it would be for most of that you or those all would you know for real and useful. losses a little red number of points at either of us is all there with what he would class will call demonstrates a skills as i characterise. as a is there. a locally or forty or he thought about the evils of people for far away for a loser for the four kids there are some names that might ring a bell for an avid fan of the national hockey league alexei yashin you getting that

back up next a fucking again and all these guys were at one point instrumental in their respective n.h.l. clubs or for your kind in their yosh and such company is obviously a plus in his hands but the guitar in comes first or so it's a lot of the control players former will play. so it's make a difference because they may yes follow on rather than as a lot of guys play footy and have much in the final extra it's live a different. environment but again that's how it's people see this great city of beautiful arena the fans that trying to see for the stars you count on the last year was a lot of soul dollars and not a lot of fast into was this place has been exciting to brilliant to do well in the playoffs but still protect their existence you know in twenty ten head coach ivans and not top picks up the reins from compatriot gary smith who led the team to say. second place in the regular season a longtime canadian ex-pat having lived in italy for the last twenty five years as

get used to according to an upmarket sunday's a two dollars and win the game and especially now in this league where there are a lot of good teams and a lot of surprises and sometimes people expect you to win every single game and almost one of all the teams out on but it's not easy. are you have to challenge yourself every time and. so far as that's a challenge that we try to face plenty of ice hockey experts in russia and dull scott st petersburg as the cage shells the green team however such comparisons are rarely served any team in any sport any real justice the continental hockey league season is still young and scarred pretty well so far and hopefully their fans will be just as happy in april twenty seventh as they are now remind culture of our team st petersburg. now in other news the sale of liverpool football club has been stalled again american owners george gillett and tom hicks have gained
