country it for it's leadership. we managed to produce certain confidence in us and then of course the support of our people the enthusiasm that our people manifested along the way the english reaction to russia is winning the right to host cup with an exactly the most gracious but also the reaction to their own defeat going out in the first round there was a lot of theories reaction in the british press we surprise about this already yes and. there was of course a big build up. towards the final presentation in the media which which could have been a factor in in their lack of success but then we think our bid is totally within the philosophy that is to. move the world cup to new regions open up new horizons to really expand the power of football and.

stretch it over over here huge huge regions. they had that they had a good bit in general. we regret that it turned out this way but i mean you have to know how to lose to not only winning takes a lot of pressure but losing to what happens now see russia as one big host woke up what's going to happen in the two thousand and ten two thousand and eleven these initial stages think the main task for us would be to prove that we are a good partner for fee for a partner that can begin working now first trip of a fee for officials is. we intend to prepare for that to begin working on the on the project matters developing the timescale and really moving along well russia of course because it's going to come immense media scrutiny well i mean you've had

enough media scrutiny. but is russia ready for this you think absolutely no we've been. very keen on staying clean. not raising even even a shadow of the doubt or suspicion about our activity and we are we don't have to get ready for a new scrutiny we are ready any time both local and foreign authorities to look into what we've been doing and maybe it's the. quality of. accounts for. the fact that we have never been. part of any new smear campaigns or any any suspicions any scandals there was one suggestion which was quite absurd which came along on the way but in general weren't really a target for that when racism hooliganism are a problem in russia as they are in much more developed nations that just italy spain how do you expect to tackle these problems ahead of the two thousand and

eighteen world cup well first of all. russian football union has. made it very clear by by the statement of its ruling body the executive committee that it's it's this something that it didn't it really would like to address in the near future they doubled the memorandum on combating any meth men if a station of racism. would show we think would be a foundation for certain activities. in the end these activities would be very effective sort of infrastructure which is always going to help russia massively building new roads new transport systems new stadiums of course one of the factors can help the development of russia by winning the right to host woke up europe in all this factor is of course the economic potential of russia i mean. russia's gold and current series are are substantial russia's economy is on the

rise. g.d.p. seven percent annually we do not see any obstacle on the way of successful investment projects in the way of successfully. creating this infrastructure that is much needed not only for the world cup but for forward normal life standard in this country in general and many many people now think that we need this interest infrastructure specifically for the world cup we don't the world cup will benefit from the natural course of development in many of our countries regions but not just economically able to socially as well because russia's going to be opened up to hundreds of thousands millions of supporters are going to come over to watch the woke up and dispel some myths about russia which amongst people in the west the reputation image of benefits are immense it's it's very hard to overstate them because we it was our intention in the first place to really show

a totally different country to the world to really see what it's like. dear that's no different from any other countries that we do share the same problems same issues but at the same time it's not it's not something strange something. something weird going on in this country and it also could help develop football in russia as a moment unfortunately. at premier league games and in spots in moscow have the highest average attendance but it's only thirty thousand which is hardly comparable to any sort of club around europe so you think this couldn't miss world cup could get a kick in the right direction get more people more families attending much is absolutely we. were talking about heritage about the legacy and this legacy is not only. perfect infrastructure it's about the overall rise of interest to football the number of people who play football or interested in football trade football so not

only. interest toward football grow but there will be wonderful stadiums that will suit perfectly this rise of interest and so it's it's sort of a parallel lines along which football will be developed one of human and the other is infrastructural and both of these lines will lead towards. increased attendance was not just about football stadiums but also about academies academy which was built entirely at sea which was received a lot of support from proceeding when he was manager of the russian national football team a many more of these economies going to be set up in the build up to the woke up around the country of course you know there's a specific plan in the russian football union to think these academies now will all grow intensely in the country there is a particular need now to to produce by two thousand and eighteen the best possible national team and of course there are going to many efforts directed towards

towards descend to the couple final questions i mean how difficult has it been for me personally how are you feeding the night before the bad i how has how the last few months been think you have sleepless nights moderately confident a little nervous. we were not. that nervous about the final presentation i mean we've done a lot of presentations we've spoken to these people we've done individual presentations so it wasn't about the audience because the atmosphere during the final presentation was very friendly it was about the decision of course when we felt that nervous pressure significantly increased closer to four o'clock when the word rush appeared from the envelope. but some magic and of course there's a lot of discussions a lot of fears so it's also a question about corruption and corruption is a driver would of president made the difficult moment to try to root out corruption in various societies within russia how is the russian bid going to stay away from

this how are they going to make sure that corruption is in the pot doesn't have any effects the best way to stay away from corruption isn't to be not to be part of it but that's exactly what we intend to do simply not be part of it not to partake in some processes which we feel can run counter to certain ethical principles. we know that. the world cup is not the business of l o c it's it's a joint endeavor by thief and seat so it's working in partnership it's trusting each other. and so a lot of good things can spring up from this cooperation with thief i mean if i give you extra incentive in a way because you knew the media scrutiny to be so much on russia if you did slip up don't even one think about it but if we if we did slip up again it would be

a notable failure notable failure but still there are some some speculations which we read now. here in there there appear people who claim that it's russia qatar it could have been could not have been on this but we were simply neglect these things i mean that everybody is entitled to their own opinion. it's strange that we are regarded dissuade. some weird people but we we were quite tolerant to this. be drawing all my expenses it's a dummy jordan who was head of the south african bit committee the chairman committee which hosts the world cup in two thousand and six x. from will comp will be drawing on their experience there of course where you would know many of the organizers of these two successful world cup personally i will certainly use their experience their expertise would know mr giordano very well he came to russia as part of the inspection commission i'm sure it's not it was not

his last trip to our country sure there's going to be many more we have excellent relations with the german national association sure we will be in contact with them so we but most of the knowledge transfer will come from of course that's the organization where a lot of experience have been collected over many years well the phase he said are going to be going expection in january what are they going to be looking at what are they going to be trying to find out from the russian side the sort of inspection it's a working visit we don't know the contents we believe it's going to be preliminary discussions and some mapping out of what needs to be done at what time so it's basically. a project management meeting i would say things that are so much like of the next few weeks the next few months and experience thank you very much thank you.

to buy it in candidate because unfortunately there is no production of this equipment in the whole country for the first international desk for the russian team was because we can sprint internment in the middle school region the home side faced rivals from norway south korea and the chair probably russia's lack of experience showed up and they were struggling to contend that the women's however after wards braun's paralympic medalist norway gave credit to the holes the russians levels of for i think they have a lot a lot to build to build on and. in europe probably. ten top ten i think for sure a bright future of sledge holding russia is also no doubt for the russian paralympic committee livy going to go we are currently in talks with some sponsors i think will sign agreements soon sledge hockey is a very entertaining sport therefore it's interesting for the sponsors. and the
