a cyclist to take over our final leg of a five the rings of moscow road race cycling one hundred thirteen kilometers around moscow in a ring road move the ninth is one of russia's biggest holidays and there was a decent crowd to watch the race unfold over the may not have the glamour of the tour de france it still plays an important role in developing competitive cycling in the country. it's not because i think that it's really important to show results here i have given it my all i hope i have made a good impression on the managers of the big russian teams and they will give me a contract but could use a team or acknowledged as russia's top cycling team of the big guns of u.t. to the theme of i'm glad to see of a currently battling it out on the road to tire before every of moscow is a race for the next generation yeah that is what i think i went if i've been with the team for three years and the main aim is to try and develop cycling within russia we have our main team to show on the pro tour these sorts of races are all

about trying to prepare us to compete on the biggest stage at forty one resume of his unlikely to make it into the big time as sages against him but the russian was still a loss for words after winning the overall title there by their version of information to me this is a really big victory for me the biggest of my career i'm just so happy it's difficult to explain just how i'm feeling at the moment. the standard of cycling in russia is improving and it's helped by the ability of teams like you to show to compete at the top level giving young scientists something to aim for respect noble formed a couple of years ago or they can compete with the two she ends their lease are playing a key role as the bridge professional recognition and i was very riders to complete internationally. lawless numbers there last year roosevelt held russian cyclists prepare for the twenty twelve olympics to give her a track cyclists the opportunity to compete in top level competitions like

a continental license gives you the chance to take part in so many events and even have the opportunity to get a wildcard into some of cycling's biggest races. the five rings of moscow race may be a world away from the tour de france is still plays a nostalgic role in preserving russia's heritage and a significant sporting one and promoting the country's future cycling stars richard on board please r.t. moscow. now from local champions to global heroes as former manchester united striker michael owen joined the chorus of admirers of sir alex ferguson after the manager who shaped english football for almost three decades and his retirement. anyone that self seasoned allowed you would have known nothing else other than alex laden manchester united out so i mean it's. a cinema label based on user sites inevitable and moneywise that is going to happen in the next couple years but i didn't say i happen and this year and. what will suppose it's going to be say about

amaze just a phenomenal margin and that's why at this morning i'm in so proud i can see the light on for three yes. let's turn to one very extreme sport as the record for the sky marathon has been smashed after two hundred of the world iron men lead the sky run a well serious charge up here highest mountain held bruce michael kraft yankee reports . i view the insurance board of sky running isn't about going into space on fort but it's still a daunting task of racing up to the top of a mountain especially when it's europe's highest peak at just over five point six kilometers while strong winds and temperatures of up to minus twenty degrees celsius made their way up even more demanding for those taking part in the opening russian stage of the sky run a world series. i've been working here for twenty years now and i can safely say the past winter was one of the coldest and harshest i've ever seen so of elbrus was

already a challenge the past winter has certainly made the task harder. but inclement weather couldn't stop one italian instructs as marco fucking nearly ran the three kilometers of course up to the west summit in a record time the thirty two year old needed just three and a half hours shaving eleven minutes off last year's result by spain's louis have numbers. in the morning i was worried because there was fog everywhere but then i checked my laptop and saw on the webcam that the sun was shining at the top it's a great computer and i'm very happy to have participated with such a beautiful landscape the record breaking run came on may the ninth victory day in russia where the country marks the defeat of nazi germany and for fucking nearly it was victory number two after also prevailing in the vertical kilometer event the day before while the competition was an exclusive to men as russia's women dominated both events while also enjoying the scenery. he had been climbing since i

was twenty years old it all began with walks through the woods. stuff like that but then i became aware of the caucasus mountains and that whole region it's simply brest take him which is why i ended up try and competitive events such as this one . conquering the continent's highest mountain only serves to which the runners up at sides as they now move on to spain for more breathtaking action. r.t. . while at stay up in the mountains are some of russia's snowboarders closed out the winter season by throwing unusual contest where a large pair of dice decided which trick they perform on sunday but out of explains all. spring is finally here but this russian snowboard addicts haven't seen it and don't want the snow to melt they gathered above the arctic circle in the northern city of heroes for their annual training camp and then close the winter season out

in style with an unusual contest is it. it's an open competition so everyone can take part riders throw two big dice to decide which triggers they'll perform and how professionals trained to produce some really jaw dropping tricks but forget how to do some basic jumps while youngsters hone their skills performing these types of jumps and have a chance to rub the pros noses in it at that and it but there was the you know it was no contest between the amateurs and professionals was the amateurs just how mad the pros they really produce such basic tricks it was fun to watch the pros being knocked out with their heads down it's hard to get on board success as the days dictate the trick the russians invented this competition last year and this time around the suspense remained until the very last jump as a local snowboarder powered to the finals and took full advantage of a familiar slope to balk at the one and a half thousand dollar price. and what suppress the bit of bone there i'm really

happy to win as i didn't expect to get as far as the finals i really enjoyed the competitions format it's probably the best one the organizers here have arranged for years the training camp has been going for seven years with all the day's events running for the last two of them this year the first female competitors took part as snowboarders from all across russia traveled to compete. i came all the way from stockholm in islands to compete here and it was an honor to ride with some of the best domestic boarders i didn't expect to get to the finals and i'm happy i did. although they did start with bright spring sunshine this no did rich. as the drilling joke is head form closing in on the winter season and unlike the outcome of today's combat that the snow in this tournament will be back next year constantin by the parties. with nine months ago
