oh and welcome to technology while the. time is ticking. into a cutting edge winter sports complex. it's time for the final push.

the great. shape. should be. first of all the torch has to stay late under any condition and it must

like immediately it has to function twelve minutes in temperatures lower than forty five degrees below zero has to work properly whether there is wind blowing from the left from the right behind the front and so on it has to work in the rain snow or any other weather most of the torch has to function in a high mountain where there is low pressure which is important but in my limited number of torches it will be produced especially for this purpose. before the torch can be used to light the cauldron in sochi next year it's got quite a busy travel schedule ahead of it it will make its way all over russia being carried by many of the country's biggest and brightest personalities the list of those carrying the flame will likely include summer olympians who will have to sit on the sidelines as their cold weather compatriots carry the national banner into competition. over seven the torch will be lit in greece and flown over to moscow
12:32 am
from there it will be taken on a whirlwind one hundred twenty three day tour around russia is slated to pastor nearly three thousand cities and to cover around sixty five thousand kilometers in the process but fifteen thousand olympic and paralympic torches will be built specially designed to deal with whatever the russian winter throws at it rain wind or snow the olympic flame and ideals it represents simply won't be extinguished. the journey to this point started five and a half years ago when russia's and vicious plan was chosen. the olympic park in the company to read it will be down to the water's edge amid sochi subtropical weather in an effort to make the experience more accessible for visitors all the coastal cluster venues will be within a ten to fifteen minute walking distance. has had to be built from scratch what you see today is completely unrecognizable from what was huge. but that's only half the

12:35 am
in the whole of russia. it was built from the ground up. to make sure everything is working. the world's attention the technology required to create such breathtaking displays is. giving ice at just the right temperature and is a major part of the task. so far the results speak for themselves. i like to track the ice is getting better every day is becoming. i think the track was designed properly. in the case . of the course is really priority number one. three in client hills to help keep over the top speed. keep an eye on the potentially dangerous chemicals used to make the track traditionally and free on have been the two main ways to keep big things

it's almost hard road to top for any of us on here in russia i have added an experimental exercise enough already and we agreed training regimen. it seems cruel but despite all the hard work blood sweat and tears the majority of aspiring athletes will never reach these peaks of professional sport with that in mind researchers working with the university of physical culture and sport in moscow are looking to harness the latest technology to get aspiring athletes over that hump is potentially dangerous and illegal doping isn't an option the new secret to success may lie in element ever present in the air we breathe but long over looked. was discovered over one hundred years ago by sir william ramsey and morse travers'
12:49 am
a novel finding certainly practical applications for it were fleeting until the one nine hundred thirty s. when it found use in high speed flash photography and a bit later as an anesthetic in operations however is prohibited lehi cost prevented from being adopted by the medicine that all could be changing. thanks to work being carried out here at the institute of medical and biological problems xenon could be on the verge of a major revival. amongst the hyperbaric chambers where many of the country's divers and astronauts have gone through pressure chamber tests and training docs are taking a look at just what xenon has to offer. in recent years what used to be observable favorable side effects of xenon base and has become objects of inquiry in their own right. exactly how the gas interacts with receptors is still under study initial trials and experiments have shown that xenon and its neuroprotective properties can relieve stress. anxiety and even help addicts get
12:50 am
over withdrawal symptoms. and if we talk about the production of xenon in russia there's no better place to look than a kellet in the business for over twenty years it ships its goods all over the globe company officials placed their market share but around one quarter of total demand. for most of their history though the company has primarily dealt with so-called technical xenon that is not for human ingestion but over the years as the gases and medical benefits have grown the demand for alter peers seen on has followed accordingly. other noble gases are all around us all of the time they just in such small quantities that getting our hands on them require sophisticated machinery and no small dose of know how as a result there's a very limited number of countries currently able to capture scene and then put it to use for human kind. you know if for me to portray it as well of course there
12:51 am
were only one producers worldwide extracted from air but there are only five countries they produce it commercially around the united states france germany russia and ukraine. is recovered as a byproduct of oxygen production it's large mental or physical factories it's plants special air separating machines single out oxygen and also generate as an encrypted mixture as a byproduct or the next of those to gases is then shipped to us before the refining which we manufacture zenon for medical purposes encrypt and mixture requires extra puti cation. and they will produce is ninety nine point nine nine nine nine percent when i mean edition only we also limit the share of harmful impurities in the gas are refining isn't paid indeed unique and allows us to remove all these impurities entity in pure medicals. they can further be used for surgeries and all
12:52 am
kinds of other treatments. at the end of the process they get nearly ready to be sent to clinics and hospitals under the brand name med at the moment is still rather expensive especially when compared with other and statics. proponents argue that when you take into account problems in complications associated with other knockout gases the prices come closer together but before the medical xenon gets into the hands of a qualified doctor every batch is tested and checked for purity. requires them to control for six kinds of impurities they go the extra mile and control for a full tin as a result the level of impurities in the medical xenon produced here is around two to three times lower than regulators demand. every year we discover new particularly using xenon as in an authentic as a result we're figuring out the absolutely new ways to play. this is
12:53 am
a truly unique medicine it is totally harmless to humans but at the same time it is still a very powerful and it can be used to treat just about any organ in the body depending on what the problem is with. medical xenon has many potential applications researchers here are specifically interested in how we can improve the performance of athletes they recently organize an experiment to lay the groundwork for future use in sports. to be a very strong stress protector. in other words in all cases involving stress whether it be acute a chronic stress the best way to deal with it is small therapeutic doses of this substance and when we talk about spilled before competition with an athlete needs to relax sleep well and improve he's a functional capacities with this experiment we're trying to see just how xenon can

help. period a group of young athletes were given. a healthy. to better understand how actually interacts with the body's organisms as well as working out the best way to. work out after taking in the gas. in a controlled environment. like from the athlete. training. country. in two thousand and fourteen in his mind. after the experiment in the chamber it was much easier for me to train and i was
12:55 am
able to recover much more quickly afterwards. during their test trainings at my ski club i posted the best results. more experiments are planned for later this year. to get. researchers hope that they've done their part to bring. back home this time next year. old to be used. it's going to be. physicians and hopefully they will be able to use it to help athletes get fitter. and. earlier this month the main path to the. not for any

competition but to mark the start of the final countdown following a decent amount of entertaining performances as well as speeches by international sports chiefs and national leaders there's not a minute. much less a second to waste. a lot of people one year in counting until the point ceremony here we are truly going to wait that long coming to the technology of those the next time it's a joint mind. choose your language. of choice because we know if. someone. chooses to use the consensus he can. choose the opinions that immigrate to.
