mistake there so from sporting action let's move on to some passionate words as we heard from former tennis great andre agassi has revealed the secret of how to beat australia open supreme about novak djokovic probably going off i was in the locker room before the match i might have a chance maybe there i don't know it's been amazing watching the standard continually sort of get better you wonder how it's possible. well meanwhile two thousand and eight formula one champion lewis hamilton admits he's wary of former team mclaren and other front runners as the briton made his first public appearance at the same guard since joining the german outfit for the new season. i live to win that's what that's what i work towards every every year so that's what we're going to be working towards a sharing of course it's going to be tough to compete with the to beat the guys

that are already at the front like the red bulls and the far isn't a clarence but i don't think it's impossible. former england manager spend your own erickson says he does it for love nor money off to taking up another lucrative post as technical director at all nasa in dubai. i can promise you that the jobs you know very coast. time and here it's not for money absolutely no. i don't complain about myself. i'm happy with that but. it's not for money it's for the love too for. well in the meantime the first official testing of the biathlon track has been held at next year's winter games resort of sochi with russia's olympic champions but long as lips over taking gold at the warm event stevens has more. at the twenty tena lympics in vancouver russia finished eleventh overall with three gold medals two of these came in biathlon the country's

second favorite winter sport behind ice hockey. clinched one of these in the women's relay and also took gold in this week's i.b.u. cup had the purpose built lauer a sentence with the twenty six year old claiming the victory left her exhausted you know it seemed today i tested the track and i really felt it there's no other track in the well like this it's hard the downhills are steep there's no place to have rest and they the strongest athlete will win the olympics to get ready for the games they need not only to train here but also to live here there seems to bode well for russia's biathletes who also get to test the track again in march when saatchi will host a stage of the world cup meanwhile the other issue of vancouver wasn't just one of the medals but also of snow the canadian venue had to import it to help keep the events running in their mild winter but sochi managed charlie parker move says this seaside resort will have no such problems. as for the snow there won't be any races

where not even worried about it it's the of course or or some other problems in vancouver we have more natural snow here in february and every track has its own snow machine with them the biathlon track wasn't the only one tested this week the russian junior bobsled team also tried out the sankey sliding center the one thousand seater arena is almost ready to host next month's final stage of the bobsleigh a world cup while the sochi officials are not just looking towards the olympics but a wider sporting legacy in the black sea city. if you visited so much you know that not only our olympic objectives many other projects and should such as the formula one track the russian state of the season two thousand and fourteen. finally there's also some good news for the world's press as the cutting edge media center is also near to completion with still more than

for the inaugural season of the i is b.-l. sees the pick of student basketball from course russia ukraine as a stand still in and with the one in united in the same combination is still far from catching up with nothing americas and c.w.a. march madness money set to develop and expand in the future the new league is supported by the russian government which has a lot of that control lovers and players who took to the court in the intermission alongside some of russia's great veterans for an indication game. although the show was still owned by the young guns twenty four of the best players representing the lakes and west. i'm never been a big basketball fan but i feel great today such that tech an action and so many

handsome boys on hand i like it. despite being sold off as a shill to the all-star game so no lack of tough competition with it is comfortably beating the west one hundred thirteen points to eighty points. the difficulty to cut down the becoming a failed cut. but they are going to look a little sick of the look. of it will cut but thank you the fellow is a nearly i think. if you look at. it live a little less clear. cut the fish a little so with the all-star game now finished the players focus turns to the playoffs which down the way on march the town which were the first real test to see
