all events over the last few years have cost diplomatic attention but there are hopes that those problems can be overcome. all the winter olympics in salt sheer fast approaching and with only three years to go now the games site and infrastructure are beginning to take shape well the chairman of the organizing committee dimitri chernyshenko he says that with new innovations in construction and environmental care event will leave a long lasting legacy to the region and the whole country well that's in our interview coming up next. this is genocide but thanks a lot for being with us today my pleasure right so three or so ago till the opening of two thousand and fourteen in sochi you said in one of your recent interviews

that time is your main challenge how ready are you does this mean that maybe you're afraid that you're not going to be done on time you wrote we just in the middle for a wonderful journey to deliver the most innovative ever olympic and paralympic games which will celebrate this period when you more than russia through sustainable positive changes and which in turn will inspire the walled and we can all weakness now really positive changes in the region i can tell you that three years of the games were in the good shape way deliver and everything within budget and on time so that we'll be prepared for the games at the highest possible level so you have test competitions going on in february on the slopes in sochi how do you think they're going to be assessed the european cup will be the first international exam. with the

presence of international olympic committee and i know that. from the i see it from claude killy the great will the chair to the slopes. again i said the first test event well it's been one year since to vancouver olympics what do you think you've learnt there and what are some of the things that maybe you're implementing in sochi the first to fall river a very much. it is a success reach over again in terms of the creating the wonderful electric i would say atmosphere in gauging all the nation around one positive project secondly we were very impressed with the great sports result of which international team of canada the team and this also was a great listen flown from there and certainly the proper planning is the key factor

of the success and that is why we have to be ready for any unpredictable things like you remember what happened in the region the which was secured for the snow for one hundred thirty years suddenly was suffering with the local small so we have to predict ever seen to be ready to deliver what we promised now there's been criticism that canadians bills to so-called white elephants and to thank or of facilities weren't being used enough do you fear the same thing about sochi trying to be in a way to free him everything we created and submit it for the i.c. consideration sold it and sort. the legacy plan will be with me until after the games were and the rest some interest in initiative again we're trying to be innovative there are three even which will be disassembled and then

move to another region and assembled over there. this month but it's not. temporary this is completely permanent but you can imagine how excited the region who are beating to host the real lympics venue in this city which never hosts the game but that's the same thing they did in london right a venue that they had for the olympics was completely dismantle the. yes but dismantled it means that they will be disappeared but will be working in sort of a real sport to multi-purpose mean you. in a different region but in accordance to the same limp expander let's talk about the mascot everyone is dying to know what mask is going to be do you know it's going. who knows this will be the democratic election how does the process go. there are

several stages the selection of the moscow the first of all it was a national wide campaign and then i'm really proud to say that this is the first time in the history of the olympic movement when all the nation express on the air and the must quote candid that their nation all these. candidates more than twenty four selves and different pictures expect so much people to participate frankly we didn't expect expect that it will be a real national interest and we're very happy that it was between. your old caucus in the central part. very eager to bring those on moscow it is a candid to be on the top of their in then professional jury.

presented by most to recognize the respected representative from the league's sport. and of course culture and art selected the short least. eleven candidates they must quote which will be. submitted to the audience and the people will be voting for you revision is the same approach same seat. for those can do that which will be the most desirable who will. the most interesting story and will come to the audience of police it's elect me so it will be like that i know it's a different team but rochelle so won the world cup to host in two thousand and eighteen did you advise them before they went to syria. we were not involved in the

bidding process of to solve them eighteen. like any russian citizen was. very much in spite with the great presentation and the fact that russia. had. a horse first time in the history of. the bald cup and this is a great synergy between. big sport events which is now it's it's a trend that russia has been in and we need a global sports events because sport is a national priority for our country and i was state leaders making the process of the successful process of the bidding and. we use in the preparation for the big scale events the great is at the least it seems to be the rather. smart strategy to develop for all the country. part mr putin said that everyone
