played. with a chance of moving on to the drop zone all based on the size of the tall traveled sea-tac. ones also eighty saturday in england called base also travel to liverpool who are seven and not see what took place at least in the year a plea by winning the calling task chelsea offis behind arsenal only on goal difference and travel to enfold west brom table toppers manchester city hosts second bottom bolton looking to win andrew five points clear of manchester united manager about the munchies that's controversial strike a call australia's needs to build up his business for making this public return. carlos these are top strikers know about them in this moment they are used to the drain and it's important that in just a moment. or striker a score of their goals from the former base is very important because of their music to be and to give the green try to grab this record. and in the k h l

playoffs all about you lie about losing to extend their best of seven series leads to cheer wins from two as a whole has actually teatime former champions i'm boss and so you face each other in the like but for once it's on the golf pinched a last minute will have to get out and go on a full three went into no serious made against. my feel like going to the wall start trying if there are two kazakh side berries and plaques i have twice couple behind to level matches against you drop the ball while there's a birthday boy because i nice and netted both goals and and i'm lost as to know how when i didn't know my minsk and he's in turns twenty four points fifty in some room for his first strike and the second period option popped into the top corner and out of a couple of minutes later he made it to deal with a powerful shot the russian side securing a possible to meet in the best of seven series however the next two games are in valorise and i'm almost as dependent dominic i'm not expects him to be tough. it's going well for me it's going to. be

a big able right similar to this to be you have see them here in moscow. but i don't know if it's been going to be advantage for us or but they don't play in their own ring because everybody goals. are good they're very far but we have to be focused on our game and go to the world. but people now understand moscow have ensured home court advantage for the playoffs after beating an adult f.a.'s eighty two sixty five in istanbul to win three things and they carry like a top score does fifteen points for the army man who finished with a record of five wins and one defeat elsewhere olympiacos reached the quarter finals with an eighty eight eighty one when i was right and what's got the buildout also went through only just a handsome beaten fellow spanish side which they days and then hope for a moment you didn't beat on to pass the sienna bundles twenty three points well the way out couldn't do what they needed to do the match was evenly poised by the end

of the third period and even though they all moved up a gear in the final quarter they could only manage a one hundred two points to ninety victory against the italian outfit and screwed up a place in the quarter finals. golf now in u.s. ryder cup captain davis love the surge topped the leaderboard after the first round of the hundred classic in florida all time to woods isn't danger of missing because well it started well enough with a birdie at the first but by the way to record a seventy one and that it was seven shots behind the leader no he hit a hole in one during his round of sixty four and urgent the final two holes to take a two shot lead had a group of eight games movie merkle roy and victory for the northern irishman in florida would make him thank you world number one. now after nineteen years in formula one the sport's most experienced driver is raring to carry on driving in the indy car series and thirty nine year old brazilian remains barack

has signed a one year deal with k.v. technology and is to take part in all sixteen races of the new season which starts on march the twenty third it's very close the record of three hundred twenty two starts in formula one but was replaced by compatible you know center at williams earlier this year. your because there are just log. on to i'm sure i just changed address isn't it remember cars so you. have to learn all the old was great it's going to be interesting. finally with the london olympics less than five months away hopes are high in russia bringing home some medals in cycling and the new team called all spelled out could change that course on course or a custom of. following a period of stagnation after the breakup of the soviet union russian cycling is slowly but surely returning to the sport's elite the launch of team cut you shot four years ago proved successful and show that cooperation between the private

sector and the sport's governing body in russia is critical for the rebirth of this particular sport bruce below is the next natural step for russia's global cycling project which was started in two thousand and eight by the presence of the cycling federation eager to my current. sports as russia's cycling is going through a hard time at the moment but the emergence of new competitive teams could be the first indication of really sense oh girls are ambitious indeed being at international events in professional sports and it cheating the highest results at the world championships and olympic games. germany's leading cycling expert high cost self that all was given the reins and over at ruth fellow his successful international career began when he moved to australia back in the one nine hundred ninety s. celts ventilator developed a program that bred champions like robbie mcewen can sell evans and mark cavendish

to maine just a few as he spread his expertise down under as well as in his native germany great britain denmark and canada i've never worked with such a company defied shoprite as before great talents and become a mix. of the part of true i'm really optimistic that you can do something really really surprising it's a lot of bits it's not going to be a surprise for me but for a lot of other countries one of the team's biggest hopes is the twenty four year old beauty again hero minute up twenty eleven season saw the russian cyclist win the european championship as well as a couple of world cup stages at the moment she's one of the country's main contenders for gold at the olympics in london the result of the community i have won two stages of the world cup on the m so it should be sufficient to qualify for the olympics we didn't score any points in the team pursuit we still have the last chance of the world championship but it will be a hard job but as for the omnium event i will do my best because i want that matter
