was a slight uphill finish into the zero and it was edvard course in harbin in the black on the far right there and i'm these big to the line affection keeping matt goss from age to see a proud day today for fellow norwegian thought who showed who keeps the yellow jersey albeit by a single second straight into doubt ever since. now the second fastest man on earth tyson gay is pulled out of next month's world athletics championships with a hip injury the american would have been up against hundred meter world record holder at the same bolt in south korea but withdrew from the semifinals of the u.s. national trials because of pain and is expected to miss the rest of the season gay has run the fastest time this year nine point seven nine seconds and his personal best of nine point six nine is just a tenth of a second behind bolt will record. that switch to go for the world's top players a completing their build up to next week's open championship firstly on the p.g.a. tour it is chris blanks he has a one shot lead after the first round of the john deere classic in illinois and

and the practice over the last couple of weeks. ago it was nice to refresh i'm looking forward to the next two weeks and sixty carbs a good way to start those two weeks today well a noticeable absentee from the tournament is u.s. open golf champion rory mcilroy has decided to rest ahead of the british open however at twenty two the northern irishman could still be playing in the found a series which inspired him to become the major winner he is a constant thing but top of reports now on the youth development program which has come to moscow to help produce a russian golf champion. british six time major winner sir nick faldo founded his serious in one nine hundred ninety six and the blessing of champions have already developed through the system including the likes of u.s. open champion rory mcilroy and jani saying the youngest player male or female in the morning to win four major championships could this scheme have any bearing advertisement it's great for us to be have to say. that the whole program does well

you can see kids here today oh i want to be the next morning mcelroy say they want to come play of us it's the fourth time before the su is has come to moscow and the event offers a unique chance for russia's young golfers to show off their skills in getting tournament experience and under the inspiring supervision for all those personal coach keith woods the kids could hardly help but grow to love the sport and progress quickly every year i come back i see a difference which is fantastic which is a credit to i think to your. whole development their year out of each time so physically they're changing and with that their golf swings are changing. and i think if you can if you can continue to develop the techniques through your through your coaches then there's no reason why you can't you can't really aggressively progress that with while his assistant the young players gets ready to take the

next step and break into the professional rinks a small country like northern ireland perhaps might not have expected to produce such a talented young major as much sold a beer is there with great passion and determination future champions can appear from anywhere every country wants wants to see a champion for a domestic champion and it's very difficult to say at this stage at these ages because obviously players that are progressing fast and then they may play plateau often going through different changes in the physiology. and so at this point you can't you can't say whether you've got a champion on your hands but if they keep progressing and they keep working at it and and your coaches continue to improve these kids then who knows you of course you can have a rory mcilroy defiled a serious aims at producing future champions and the search for young talent all round the world this year teenagers will take to be courses at thirty five

tournament in twenty five countries to drive cheap and point their way to the fifteen grand final which will be held in northern ireland in september is named. boxing now and olympic champion alexander but that can has increased his chances of getting his first title fight the unbeaten russian has entered talks about a clash with russia and china have the two were vying to lay their hands on the heavyweight title which means the a room became vacant after that to make h.k. pointed david taylor are slated to become a super champion if it does go ahead. and forward to be holding probably square off in germany on the twenty seventh beckham has won all of his twenty one professional class. but has yet to be great elsewhere all six of the world's heavyweight belts are being kept in one family in the klitschko brothers showed off their medical collection in ukraine in capital of kiev the elder sibling to tally w.b.c.

title with vladimir for the rest of them and at thirty five despite all. the countries but if you look at i have no thoughts of finishing my career i'm currently at my peak or i'm approaching my peak and i would like to use these possibilities more and more in the ring i have dreams and want to make them come true one of them is to fight a new cream. and lastly in basketball six time former champions to the moscow have been drawn in the same group as holders pundits annoyed cos the next season's euro leak these are the two clubs playing for the last season also in group b. a spanish side when you. get it through when you're german. and croatian champion secret last season was wanted to get the ts scars the army men failed to make it out of the group stage for the first time in fourteen years a major turnaround for this time i the few big names being brought in including european player of the me last dosage.
