so it's all foreigners now call him biding his time before taking the lead about two thirds into the race that's twenty four year old control of the pace south of it finishing the job and three hours forty one minutes and twenty four seconds and use there's a goal of the finished one minutes twenty one seconds behind the mains at gerrit's on was that. let me this is going after i watched the last ten kilometers on autopilot i don't remember the last kilometer i pulled myself together only when my chain mates picked up off the ground the race was very hard mainly due to the humid weather. zimmermann's i'm on the cheated over added another gold for russia in the women's high jump by clearing two metres three centimeters with a fast that sounds double defending champion blank of lossage operations and so the bronze one to tell him until he had to do not see no. one more podium for russia in the women's four by four hundred meters relay as they do braun's behind

the winners you say and second placed jamaica. and the final gold of the day one to you same ball to the two hundred meters the jamaican clocking nineteen point four two seconds beating american water dixon frenchman christophe america into second and third respectively so sweet revenge for baltimore was the score five from the one hundred meters last week due to a false start. to feel like they don't want to be if and i want to be a part of what that's boxing like i do and that's up but i'm not one to normally pick like you for balance tomorrow and hopefully i can beat you with some of the work that. you've now in football russia's also most a call for patient four year olds went as wild looks all but certain of the big advocates charges big macedonia on friday night which has been portrayed as the details. free points are imperative for russia to keep their hopes alive of qualifying automatically for next his finals in poland and ukraine however the

russians didn't get off to the greatest of stunts and they had to wait until almost a half hour march create their first opportunity codes under his recall of seeing his drawings and had a go just wanted to keep his left hand post must only over a bit straighter hosting long periods and they could open the scoring five minutes or trying to cool him hundred men in trying to keep up which is not nor did however the napoli forward was a greek culture has been awarded a penalty as it seems he was tripped and miriam's and russia went in front just sixty seconds later under a a shove in who was a slim run for the fifty metres from the goal with a feeling of to recall who in turn find eagleson sure was completely among to gauge of the area on the gentleman most to me field is taking short somehow managed to find his way into the back of the knights milton efforts from macedonia keeper i want to see him in a very effective pressure put in a much improved performance in the second home however for older possession they

were unable to double their advantage to be two hundred beans he had just my space chance however the committee of most human fielders hayden was brilliant you see why marching with the team over would change preserve the era and stick it to russia and managed to hold on for a bunch of free points but i'm unsure all curved their mintage his side's poor personal form and. very happy about her first half performance. thankfully there was a happy ending which is great for the fans. rochelle and i look ahead to tuesday's match against republic of ireland which will need to take place and most and even shaun huge his first goal in almost two years with a national team to beat spanking should be much harder sure. three points tuesday's match will be very different. in a much more generic story but three dream games against russia that they did three of them. have

i want. and i have. to give. you my style. and you have to. use it in a different way. and in the eyes hockey the russian youngsters thrashed their american rivals nine one to reach the final of the inaugural junior club on course it has the full story. that's asking to be much easier for the russians had they not lost their match against latvia but the red army now needed to win by at least two goals against the american in the arts and or it's quite a fight for the final of this inaugural junior flop roll call however it was obvious that that's when he eleven european junior champions didn't want to take any chances the score was already four nil to the home team at the start of the

second period and it didn't look like they were russians were satisfied with that result and that's no wonder mindful that the red army were up by the same scoreline in their opening game against the bulls from slovakia but eventually conceded three by the end of the game which they won for three goals both of us opponents of that which is going to consideration on the stakes from our creators game where young team and it's not surprising that when made them but with luck licensed and that's how the us today. those who like ice hockey for an occasional fights when the players will probably love this match between russia and the united states as it's also a six players receiving match penalties in this group a decider that's a healthy adult as the red army found the back of the american that's another three times in the second period taking the sports in the air and reachable seven nil

eight thousand fans here at the un's corrina went into frenzy each time the russians or adding pressure on the americans or until today words accustomed to such an atmosphere never been in that position before the show is certainly a new experience for me as well as i'm sure there are those guys because they're used to being on good teams and not taking a beating in the way that we did tonight so you know all that we have orange well today is for i know the expense for the atmosphere i don't think are i mean our guys never played in front of a crowd like that the red army added another two goals in the third period with the match be at. that's at least over at that point but a shot sounds wasn't on the cards for the russian goalie as the american scored a face saving consolation goal five minutes before the final buzzer celt nine one the store which is by the way at cern in its record and it's always in the red army in the final our group big winners energy from the czech republic why yes it's a stickied in the generic lot of top among cos red r.c.
