a nice challenge you get some nice corners so fast corners fast cars for drivers it's always nice it's all really looking forward to it for the race you know the she is callid the begins on may the fifth in germany with other rounds also in austria netherlands england as well as russia as the series are based mainly essentially europe it's not yet widely known to the russian public so the moscow very small provide the heart octane series with a great opportunity to increase its fan base. well spectators inso had a sneak preview of one of the cause that will begin bracing this season as the audi team reviewed a new a five day winter we have been trying to unfold the said the put the car to make it drive a quick turn the corner think return the straights and there is a lot of five detail work in the suspension with their dynamic and they're also some small modifications coming to the engine so hopefully we'll get some extra

says he has no regrets that i had zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero in my career goes on in his career. to be a part of. the team to be in the team so this is the sort of thing there is no bad blood between the kazakh and russian tennis federations russia's davis cup and fed cup camps in sheffield had a piece of gave his blessing for the likes of golovin karloff to make the switch and former french open champion and us to see and we skin understands what a play is decided to play for very adopted nation that it happened a long time ago and at that time they had very little support in russia money's a huge factor in tennis a player needs to travel a coach and good facilities in which to train at that moment in russia there weren't that many good training bases available to the players though things have changed since the tennis center in austin eyes fantastic and caters for the players

every needs and kind of says but it is extremely helpful to have such great supports but the facilities are great. that is how we were going to practice just that and to give because i would come in practice with a talk with you first possible so this is a great topic to determine as far as well two to three of those happened and you know the facilities that were there were reports were. recorded indoors you know as well facilities where we think we're good because exxon success comes at a time when the men's game in russia is really struggling the verse time in two decades to peace of sign dropped out of a world group and will face great britain in april to try and make it back to play with tennis is alit. however they will have one of the country's rising stars to call on i'm very close knit sort of who actually said he turned down an opportunity to play for kazakhstan a couple of years ago they offered me after i won wimbledon and i was like i don't

know every i became famous here. i decided to stay in russia. not because of or not not only because of the money but because of. because i because i'm russian. of course of course maybe the russia can't or can't compete was. in it but. i mean they are helping as well because it stands men's tennis players have secured best status amongst the sports lead for another year at least now it's up to russia to try and catch up then near neighbors and also make it back into the davis cup world group and with young talented players like chris and it's often you've done school but it's certainly possible richard three dati astronaut. now from notable deeds to memorable words as australian prime minister julia gillard was appalled by the damning report claiming illegal drug use is widespread in her proud sporting nation all sports fans including may

find this pretty sickening paypal who go and sit at ground zero or watch sport on t.v. and marvel at amazing sporting prowess swayed cheer on the day and the saints that anything they've saying has actually been fueled by banned substances i think would be pretty sickening for sports fans it's pretty sickening for may as well me wanna know manager also vendor has called for severe punishments for anyone involved in match fixing after the european police said they were looking into almost four hundred suspicious games including world cup qualifiers. but you could not accept that somebody who works a whole week decides to spend his money to go to a game and beauty team because of all these decided before he gets to astound i cannot stand up for that and i think but we cannot accept that on a brighter note nigeria captain joseph yobo says he's blessed to have finally lifted the africa cup of nations on his final appearance at the tournament after

the super eagles aged eighteen a fast one nil in johannesburg this is my sixth time and i said it earlier that it was going to be my last not because i cannot play any more but. i realise that i've given it a lot of time and i was praying to god before i came to this tournament yes hopefully this will be and i'm going to win it and god gave me there so i'm very delighted. while russian tennis player elena vesnina says knowing each other well helps her team prevail in the deciding doubles rubber as russia would take in the distance in the fed cup quarter final victory over japan. when you're playing for your country ranking is doesn't matter and we were just trying to play our game and. i mean things are that everything worked out here that we really need to do because now we're playing for by an awfully long time together and we have some special relief sometimes in a few moments and the i think we both played really good today the key moment in

doubles and that helped to win this very important match. however well number one the about joke of it was happy to have a few weeks elf as the serbian tennis star visited a school in his native belgrade to donate money to disabled children after retaining his australian open title last month. i'm trying to take the free time out of for official season without any sort of links in these few weeks and to come here in serbia to visit my family and close close friends and of course be a part of the humanitarian work that is that is very important for me in my career so after that course going back to business and finally with now less than a year to go until such an olympics russians across the country can join in the countdown as a group of twenty fourteen cloaks have been set up nationwide to herald in russia's first ever winter games michael brutsch i go brings us this timely report. well the

biggest news to come out of sorts of this week was undoubtedly the unveiling of the olympic countdown clock which was unveiled on the seventh of february exactly one year prior to the start of the winter olympics now i'm standing in front of the moscow edition of the clock one of nine that was unveiled across the country and it will give people an up to date look on just how many days hours and minutes left until russia host its first ever winter olympics russia has already been counting down the days since it won the right to host the twenty fourteen games back in july of two thousand and seven but now all the planning feels more like reality and just around the corner. i believe every russian citizen will be the face of these olympics and there will be even more responsibility on the athletes they will be fighting not from their lives but to the death so to speak the feeling now is it's so very imminent and now we have this great clock which won't let anyone have time

to rest every second counts. meanwhile any fears of disruption in the media have been allayed with the opening of a brand new press center which promises to use cutting edge technology while delivering the most comprehensive olympic coverage yet. the sochi games promises to be one of the most technologically advanced ever and there will be we are using the latest tech equipment for television the internet and so on and i think the journalist will have the best possible working conditions and while almost all the infrastructure looks to be on schedule city organizes as well as the russian government have already been looking beyond sochi twenty fourteen as they aim to bring a stage of the formula one season to the black sea resort. as of today everything is going according to plan although this project hasn't been without its problems it has been a colossal effort to try and coordinate the work while preparations for socialists

go in the. a lot of construction companies working together causing confusion however i can say that we're definitely heading towards the finishing line. here and not usually a man who's easy to police f one chief bernie ecclestone was also quoted as saying he was very happy with the progress made if all goes well the race will go ahead next year one hundred one years since russia's last grand prix held back in one thousand thirteen the actual date remains undecided but the track will contain part of the olympic park access roads which means some of the infrastructure or regionally built for the games will fulfill the organizers hopes of continuing a sporting legacy in sochi mark of moscow and that's often the sports show i for.
