mascots this is this is unprecedented to have three nascar three different animals representing represented the games has mascots why. wasn't it possible it's really you know i mean wouldn't you want love i mean i mean who cares about the actual animal i mean the whole thing is how he's drawn you remember the moscow nineteen eighteen s but they're definitely there wish to be there he was a wonderfully draw and everybody still remembers them i mean through it's not all is the truth i was very eager to have one piece of music or some souvenirs when i was young i was in school both times but i can tell you that first of all we're breaking the olympic records more and more and if this is the first time in the history of the olympic games preparation when official moscow has been truism why democratic war you know democratic conference and this is the first time ever where

mation demonstrate the great level of involvement we really engaged in nation in the process of the select him the most beloved rascal and it was the choice of majority of the walters or we received one point five million calls and someone else and it was meant to roll choice of or. why this t.v. channel audience you know concert covered nine times on. and the most important things in bed time frame when the people come to express their wishes for one or another one must go it was very narrow it was literally seven minutes for every time zone when the people were able to court so this is really used to ration the majority of the people expressed the wish and now we have three muskets which

in total pain sixty five per cent of the share of those who was called in or send in the s.m.s. they represent the desire of the majority of our country. well after the because the winners were announced there was a lot of criticism even even the president. realized and had he actually spotted the difference between the online voting and the results announced on television how would you comment and can you recall any moscow election campaign when they stated the risks were involved in this. proud sort of the first of all we have to understand that. the major target audience children five plus and if children's loves an oscar. a quarter to the success of this complaint we're really happy that i was state leaders also participated because they have

children and they must treated the patient for their five poor schools plus their relationship doesn't. rule in some way to them and there were no criticism from the president just so was one the way it was a different. result of the voting for the internet. and for those who was calling. life forms and sent him a summarized but it's a normal it's a natural because the audience i've lived through different. but the was a coincide the two leaders were over them for snow leopard and. they were unbeatable force the provisional media. and for the interim and here the only difference was with the here. with what wabbit. wabbit rather. but i can predict that the might be because. the performance

of this wonderful animal in combination with the well known so chambers adored the need to belong the singular with very famous for the female part of the. lead to the result the women will call him and want him for the pair. these. mean the images that we saw when the voting went on and and then then which we see right now here in this green screen they look pretty fresh from the computer will there be any facelift i mean when we when will we see the final version the final look of those of those masks because i've heard that there will be some some changes in the english got true they will be improved and they will be growing there will demonstrably you ability to perform in different kind of spore the there will be dress so there are only twenty when many of you know we've got the games to

look at this wonderful place for so that probably will prepare some scar a. kilt or whatever is it true is it true that you're going to turn the olympic symbols patchwerk the mascots whatever the search into fourteen got are you going to turn them into major source of income money money making and not during the olympics but but but straight out right now you know and i. the rule so i'm from marketing and rescind we're doing we're going to be efficient in delivering for wonderful project and you know the. north he was in the public funds going and pull money we're only tracked in the private money for the project and we're why did they already have broken a motherly pick record in its record of

a record number of money from the commercial partners one billion euros correct and more to come and they would also expect about fifty million. dollars from our licensing program which would make them sorry what makes your project so attractive to private investors may be the limit of profits point there are several secrets to your ability your secrets your professional abilities to attract investors and what is so know how you rate it would be unforgivable to use in the full swing miracle or power of the most recognized noncommercial brand in the world which olympic games are and we did it in the full swing and we created the very powerful mutual a little more of the law of cooperation between our partners we never called them the sponsors they're not to invest in just to be proud or to be a say associated with the olympic rings they're investing and investing because

they expect in return on investment into the infrastructure of sochi and some project with a very clear. plans how that will be rewarded and what kind of benefits they will have to measure russian companies on the roster gasper and preferred not to invest the sochi rather to invest in two thousand and eighteen world cup football world cup competition in moscow. does that make you happy. and. we're not commenting on that you're not those issues but there. make it happen yesterday i've signed. when case contra with all partners it's impossible to conclude all the world so this should be the market and i'm very glad that there is a tough. competitive environment now in our country this is a great inflation that the sports marketing is growing and we set up the benchmark

what they defer price on the market for the big scale event and partition ok you mentioned that your parents live in such and i want to ask you how heavy is the construction and that doing all this on the residence yes. it will be impossible not to impact on the environment or well your building the most ambitious and the biggest construction site in the world with more than fifty thousand workers construct their workers working days and nights over there of course. they're suffering with some. impact. you know it's rather separated it's allowed but in the area where people are not clean mostly it may be disturbing of course. but not this my ship is in london for . writing this you can see it in member of the city because they're building the

new reason of the sochi about thirty kilometers away from this which is where my money was the purpose in opening this such center in london we called the source you all you know this is brilliant idea to promote the beauties of sorts and the product of the force coming next olympic games while the majority of our target audience will be concentrated them during the summer games in london how would will look like. this. it will be i would traditional open ice free right in the heart in the center of the lawn them on the marble arch street in front of the hyde park and this particular corner and perfectly located which will live throughout the day of the visitors and will be twice a day one. they will the day program and the evening program be for the children
