mr chen the sake of 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 in time you wrote we just in the middle for 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 we will inspire the world and we can all weakness now really positive changes in the region i can tell you that three years to the games in the good shape we deliver and everything within budget and on time so that russia will be prepared for the games

and 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 come to check the slopes. again i said the first test event well it's been one year since to vancouver olympics and what do you think you've learnt there and what are some of the things that maybe you're implementing in sochi the first of all we were very much. inspired by the success reach over again eyes of hers in terms of the the creating.

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 which in national team of canada pain and this also was a great lesson flown from there and this 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 signal for one hundred thirty years suddenly was suffering with the local small so we have to predict every scene and to be ready to deliver what we promised now there's been criticism that canadians bills to so-called white elephant and the bank or of facilities weren't being used enough do you fear the same thing about sochi trying to be in the way to frame everything we created and submitted for the

consideration sold it and sort of legacy plan what will be with me until after the games were and the rest some interest in it if again we're trying to be in a way to if there are three even which will be disassembled and then move to another region and assemble toward their. dismantle it's not. temporary this is completely permanent but you can imagine how excited the region who are beating the horse real lympics venue in this city which never again but that's the same thing they did in london right if any of that they had for the olympics was completely dismantle yes but dismantled it means that they will be disappeared but will be working in. real sport

to multipurpose 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 nascar is going to be do you know it's going to be. this will be a democratic election how does the process go. there are several stages of the selection of the mosque that the first of all it was a mission a white campaign and then 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 the nation all these. candidates more than twenty four selves and different pictures did you expect so much people to participate frankly we didn't expect expect that it would be a real national interest and we're very happy that it was

a completion between. your old caucus in the central part. very eager to bring those born in 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. sport science and of course culture and art selected the short least. eleven candidates must quote which will be. submitted to the audience and the people will be voting for you revision is the same approach same system for those can do that which will be the most desirable and will.

the most interesting story and will come to the audience of police is 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 up to solve them eighteen. like any russian citizen was. very much in spite with great presentation and the fact that russia. had. to host the first time in the history of. the bald cup and this is a great synergy between. big sports events which is now it's it's a trend that russia is beating and we need a global sports events because sport is a national priority for our country and i will state leaders making the process.

successful promote beading and. 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 all the country. part mr putin said that everyone for the players and the participants of the world cup two thousand and eighteen these us will be wait now for the olympic games only the credit people will have to be set free she and why can't everyone have a visa for each team for the olympics. i can tell you that. all the people of course will be provided with. the host country this is mandatory for any host nation. for this big. let's wait and see. it will depend on the situation in the wall

but i can tell her that. we can all see the great progress for the make him. process more simple to get to russia i heard this from my foreign friends that it's. streamlined and. much more easy to come to russia now you've said that hosting the olympic games makes things happen what legacy do you want to leave to russians and to the world right you know everything we're doing we're doing for legacy and legacy but the key aspect of success of beat but we're not only talking about that sochi it will turn from the summer resort all the year round for sort it's much more being. such as a project such

a twenty four thousand words. let's say blueprint for all the russian. model city where the most. you know way to have things could be tested and see it implemented all around the country and i can tell you that we can enjoy already a legacy in. three years to the game and we can already conclude that we have for each. barrier free environment. model in sochi. accessible environment for those who are with disabilities now implemented into the russian law and it's compulsory for in the region for any new buildings or reconstruction to be implemented this is a greatest achievement for the country where. fifteen million people visit disabilities every morning trying to get to the street secondly.

in a way to. the region and we have created a new standard in construction and from the beginning of our beat we aim to not only. protect the environment in the region but also in hence the situation over there and the second achievement we called the legacy it's a green stand in the construction so very similar to the lead bream standard in the sustainable development and now that any construction in the country also should be done within very. strong standards to be environmentally friendly and this sort of things it's also one of the great example that.

continue to do because mentally and psychologically i still want to play badly but i have to admit some defeats and i lost to my buddy. and in the meantime or now those former brazil corinthians teammate roberto carlos is not hanging up his boots just yet as the veteran defender is about to sign a two and a half year deal with russian premier league side the thirty seven year old bright kids contract with corinthians earlier this month and is reportedly set to work over thirteen million dollars for his for the southern russian club if the signing goes ahead call us with the eligible to make his debut on february the twenty eighth in the russian cup game against synods that's back became a worldwide star up by the spanish giants real madrid it's who won the champions league three times. and on to champions league news where garrett bell will miss taught him last sixteen first like match of ac milan choose day after failing to recover from a back injury as harry redknapp has taken a much depleted side to italy the twenty one year old wales left back who has been

an inspiration this season didn't travel with the squad on monday. and rather than develop will play peter crouch and luke and one doubts alone for all that absentees but bell's absence is a big blow following his hat trick on tom's last visit to the san siro of the english premier league side came back from formula down to lose four three to into milan and he also starred and spurs trounced into three one and the return to white hart lane. i mean well ac milan are themselves hit by injuries but choose days match and miss three in eligible january signings but the summer purchases of. abraham of which have significantly bolster their ranks and they're aiming to break the chains of the round of sixteen the italian side has fallen at this stage for the last three seasons and it was english clubs they went to last year the year before so they would have it as i want to underestimate thomas chances i mean we're

not underestimating. because they haven't been. in show business you know over thirty years like you said but we have respect for everybody like me learn and we will play our game and whatever happens happens. it sounds ciro is one of two champions league ties on tuesday the other sees balance they are currently in a spanish league shock at what to tell them the thunder saying that they have played legend khan's champions league also my meeting goalscorer role in the squad shaka also managed to draw on the right previous experiences that inspire their coach knight right so they can buy both players. always does want to love you but for now the favorites to win the champions league this year are barcelona and real madrid from them downwards it's very even apart from the threat that comes from inter milan image still noted but i feel teams at a similar level as russia this time would show i think we have fifty percent chances we believe in our potential and will she respects her opponents. also
