the premier league of world cycling it takes in some of the capital's most picturesque sights of the final stage is held right it is very hearts it's quite a rarity to see one of moscow's busiest for affairs almost completely devoid of traffic however for a few hours on the current a it's a cyclists who take over the 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 around 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. the progress i think is 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 uni to fema and like me a goose if

a currently battling it out on the road to tire year before every of moscow is a race for the next generation yeah that is what i think i'm waiting 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 is unlikely to make it into the big time as age is against him but the russian was still a loss for words after winning the overall title yeah the by that much and was measured 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 spark the ability of teams like you to show to compete at the top level giving young cyclists something to aim for respect lower forms a couple of years ago or they can compete with that usually ends then also playing a key role as the bridge professional recognition was very riders to complete

internationally. as well as numbers there last year roosevelt held russian cyclists prepare for the twenty twelve olympics give or track cyclists the opportunity to compete in top level competitions like the continental license gives you the chance to take part in so many events and you even have the opportunity to get a wildcard into some of cycling's biggest races over 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 for local champions to global heroes as former manchester united striker michael owen joined the chorus of admirers of ceramics ferguson after the manager who shaped english football for almost three decades and wants his retirement. anyone that sold. you would have known nothing else other than

alex laden manchester united out so a man gets. a cinema label based on user sites inevitable and money wise that is going to happen in the next couple of years but i didn't see a happening this year and. what was suppose i was going to say about a maze just a phenomenal margin and that's why i had this morning in may and so proud i can see the light on june fourth and yes. let's turn to one of very extreme sport as the record for the sky marathon has been smashed after two hundred of the world's iron men lead the sky run a well serious charge up here highest mountain held bruce michael crouch and the reports. i view the insurance board of sky running isn't about going into space on foot but it's still a daunting task of racing up to the top of a mountain especially when it's elbrus 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 in this tracks as marco fucking nearly ran the three kilometer 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 wasn't exclusive to men as russia's women dominated both events while also enjoying the scenery. has been climbing since i was twenty years old it all began with a walk 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 at the sides as they now move on to spain for more breathtaking action mike of genco r.t. . well let's 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 consenting to top off explains all. spring is finally here but this russian snowboard addicts haven't

seen it and don't want the snow tomorrow to give her the 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 ok to sit in the line is it's an open competition so everyone can take part riders throw two big dice to decide which tricks they'll perform and how professionals trained to produce some really jaw dropping tricks forget how to do some basic jumps while youngsters hold 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 who's the amateur is just how mad the pros are 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 this is ben's 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's that brought the bit of bone 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 their all the day's events running for the last two of them these here are the first female competitors took part as no words from all across russia traveled to compete. i came all the way from stockholm in islands to compete here. 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. but although they did start with bright spring sunshine this no did richard as that drew in junk is head form closing in on the winter season and

unlike the outcome of the days can bet that this snow in this tournament will be back next year constantin by the r t. and finally with nine months to go before the winter olympics such as ice hockey rinks passed another test as more than one hundred how much the teams from across the globe played at the bolshoi i study and the scheiber arena over the past week the russian n.h.l. or the night hockey league was the brainchild of president vladimir putin and the head of state was on how to present the trophy to the winning because on dragon side before dropping the puck for the exhibition finale well that's all from this post am i for now.
