of them thanks to a star studded squad containing eighteen olympic and a host of world champions and which of ample feet takes a closer look at some of them. it will be an understatement to say russia taking these games seriously the whole nation of pulling out all the stops to make a triumphant statement i'm pleased the local crowd which is eagerly supported by the olympic medal winning swimmers you leave the mother and us to see is all we have or even miss for national championships to prepare for. the world heptathlon champion tatyana chernova easily won her events. that occurred in the month the first of all i feel great and just before the world championships two i really needed that as with the secondly i had to armstrong a man of great points going into that tournament food and of course it's a very nice training session for me in one of my favorite stadiums with the support of great fans however in that goal doesn't always guarantee success just ask even one of who was so impressive in london last year winning behind him yet he missed

out on the medals ager gather here coming home fifth to master liam was started as expected was successful in khazan the limpy come even boss champion his father hails from the host region to star is delighted to be competing especially given her roots and she took gold in the bars and the women's individual round events. basketball player so good kind of show of might not be in a little bit champion but the nineteen year old shooting guard has a very bright future ahead of him after being drafted in the first round by the cleveland cavaliers to become the fourth russian currently playing in the n.b.a. . meaning thing. i like. i'm going to go with getting the record player. boxing has long been a russian strength and always earns a country some medals come any olympics yet with no champions can be done here he gave a new generation a chance to shine something gold medalists michael made

a martyr of a new guinea to show are both looking to do. this tournament has been a stunning success for the russian squad who smashed the previous record of seventy five golds set by china at their home games and change in two years ago and with a couple of days to go russia will be aiming for even more medals to make the twenty seventh university eight a sporting triumph to remember. richard from portly tarty. and one of russia's big stars shining in cars and was javelin thrower maria abaco mother is now looking to defend her title at the world that letter championships here in moscow next month and she spoke with constantine but half of. with this javelin throwing twenty eleven in south korea maria back home and made history by becoming the first they were rushing to win a world championships and setting in the national record in the process however she didn't just come out of the blue she had been building for this triumph for some time especially after missing out on olympic gold in beijing losing to her rival by

borish but back to work this physical a gifted athlete is multi-talented and had numerous chances of succeeding in other sports. i tried many sports once a boxing coach saw me training and persuaded me to try boxing since then every time i come to my native city he asks me when i will finally give up throwing the general in and switch to boxing and when coaches learn about my weight lifting results they tell me i need to take up the sport but i'm glad i took up the javelin as it's a sport i'm really suited to last year a buck or headed to one in top form as one of the favorites for olympic gold but suffered a massive blow finishing tale of the twenty seven year old says she's fully recovered and the world championships in moscow are certainly keeping her focused i was really depressed after the london games but they deal of competing in moscow at the world championships help me

a lot for every effort it's difficult to compete on home soil i can share my emotions with my relatives and fans but i'm not only about myself i can make some people happy i felt this after the last will championships when people came up to me and thanked me. about two more had a chance to test the track at the luzhniki steady at the moscow challenge in june and she is not afraid of the extra pressure that comes with competition at home and her family are giving her the backing that she needs. you just need to relax a little bit my mom says you need to find a mental comfort zone for yourself while my granny's my personal hero she is eighty one and practices yoga she gives me a lot of positive emotions and lots of advice she said she kind person and i have learnt a lot from her must go will hold russia's made in world championships and while the two time olympic champion misses the condition because she is pregnant the reigning world champion about more has everything in her right shoulder to add another goal

to her telly at the luzhniki staring i'm constantly on by the above. well meanwhile the showpiece event at the moscow tournament the men's one hundred meters has been dealt a heavy blow after american tyson gay and jamaica's assaf a power both fell respective drug tests thirty year old gay is the joint second fastest man in the one hundred metres and also recently clocked nine point seven five seconds the best time of the season so far while power held the world record before fellow jamaican you same bolt burst on to the scene in two thousand and eight. and that's overbought one but stay tuned for part two where will be four thousand meters above moscow with some record breaking skydivers.

or remember those old wacky communist countries who constantly boost their numbers to make themselves feel better or who cares if stores are in the end this piece of paper a one hundred thousand tons of potatoes that is good enough for me well now we're in a new age of technology but the same lying to make yourself feel good is still going strong it just moved over to the capitals world the u.s. state department's bureau of international information programs has spent six hundred thirty thousand dollars on facebook advertising campaigns to get fans a sense of the government is out there to buy likes oh what a fantastic use tax dollars but wait maybe i'm being too pessimistic perhaps it worked and really helped spread the message of the us state department effectively well inspector general's report says that since the advertising campaign started twenty eleven there has been a dramatic increase in users liking state department sites but the problem is that only two percent of them actually use the sites so you get what you pay for a big bag of likes but if you hard core fans probably the most shocking example is a vision of america group in farsi made for

a rainy and which has gotten over four hundred twenty thousand members but only one percent of them is actually in iran where facebook advertising doesn't even exist that's effective getting lots of likes doesn't mean you are actually reaching people instead of paying for them why not you know get them naturally bar by providing interesting honest content on a regular basis oh wait that takes effort and honesty yeah you know what just keep wasting our tax dollars but that's just my opinion. wealthy british style. time guys. market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's cancer

a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kaiser report on our. welcome back to paul two and to a regime of the sport show in cousin warehouse russia all the runaway ladies of the world student games but as richard found poof it discovered it's some of the less celebrated disciplines that are attracting the headlines and the fans. twenty seven sports one hundred seventeen golds in offer and some famous athletes as well the twenty seventh anniversary aid has captured the imagination of the local population have turned out in force to watch the biggest sporting event ever held in a city. while the likes of some honest to see. who household names among sports fans and russia the same can be said of all the athletes competing here and however the beauty of this of ends as it gives the locals the opportunity to become better acquainted with sports event don't nurture much of violence. take

field hockey for example it's field of bravo's the much played winter variations of only shockey and bandy but further down the popularity stakes from both i russia climate doesn't help with most of the country under a blanket of snow for run four to five months a year and to employ a water based astra pitch would cost more than a million dollars however the sport is gaining a small following. with a majority of fans a still learning the tricks of the trade. what a great game team game the same as food budget but really. it's fifty percent fifty. combined and very interesting. for russia can claim much success in field hockey the opposite can be said of wrestling the countries where the powerhouses of a sports with greco-roman and freestyle the most popular disciplines gets a furred lesser known variety is making its debut because than built wrestling for

the movement of the main feature of barbell the wrestling is that the competitors have to use their opponent's belt to try and throw them to the floor it's not like other wrestling disciplines where you can use your arms or legs or pretty much any part of the body to try and get a takedown here in followed by using your belt. rush head coach lynn was a very accomplished belt wrestler in his own right the house from top to stan the region hosting the games. well the sport enjoys wide popularity wrestling is facing a struggle to keep its olympic status after being provisionally drop for the twenty twenty games and wharfies all in hopes bell dressing may one day become an olympic events he admits changes would have to be made first. of course there's a possibility that this could happen as you can never rule anything out but we'd need to do a lot of work of this is ever going to happen we have to make sure the rules are universally followed around the world and also try and make it more spectator

friendly we need investment and to try and make this board globally popular field hockey is now enjoying belt wrestling and enjoying the greatest popularity in russia in. the locals but the best cities for true sports capital of the country and this year's university aid is helping to prove their points as fisons of plans flocked to be arenas to watch a broad range of events of the tournament that's helped put khazan on the global sporting map which from boldly darty. on to motor sport now and it's been a weekend of spectacular crashes for the top motor g.p. ride us at the german grand prix before fast rising might look at one of the race to take the overall late reigning champion jorge lorenzo fell during friday's practice and had his left collarbone operated on for the second time in a fortnight and the spine is set to miss at least one more race britain look out crutchlow also crashed but regained his composure before eventually finishing second behind while teammate and then standing clayton dani pedrosa lost control of

his honda on friday so i was by surprise and lorenzo out marcus took full advantage to win from pole and go two points clear at the top. while closer to home a two time for my dad car champion. one the still quite a rally the french veteran came second in the seventh and final stage of russia's equivalent of the world's most grueling rally that he may have a serious finished runner up overall as fellow russian anton she my love prevails in the trucks category. well it stay on the track is for we know one fever is set to hit russia next year after the such a grand prix was added to the circuit for the first time and with the world's top drivers coming to moscow this week we asked the winner of thirteen races david coulthard about the formula for success in the fast lane has more. the need for speed is growing in russia like nowhere else motor sports have been flourishing here with the brand new moscow raceway hosting for international serious these year

. and next season a top tier event will arrive in the olympic city of sochi with the black sea resort embracing the country's first ever formula one race something former star david coulthard says was a great move was going to be really interesting about such is the fact that it is going to be around the olympic park and i think this is a really clever idea actually. many people maybe thought formula one would come near to moscow but actually being. on the black sea. this really will be interesting for the teams and hopefully good for the russian market. yet it seems unlikely russian fans will have a home here to cheer on as the country has yet to produce the second f one driver after vitale patrol failed to secure a seat for the on go in season the twenty eight year old men are just one podium finish during his three years behind the wheel for a no and caterer but coulthard believes more speed of talent could be on the way it

takes time to really build the culture of motor racing in any country there are radio are exceptional drivers in russia that that's not the question whether it's in other forms of motor sport was it was clearly very good as well. the problem he had was that he was never in the top team but formula one is quite hard you know you have to get your opportunity whatever it comes and then really show that you have something which. the top teams must have so that's what they're looking for they're looking for that russian driver who has got this this you know the exceptional speed of a law and order of battle or hamilton something like this still there is plenty of russian interest in formula one with the most a team looking to post the first of the points well petrov's former agent oksana because such an canal works as the. commercial director a caterer him and both teams plan to join fear i remark i've been in lotus for the most to see theresa's show later this week former champions jenson button and

camera can and will headline the high of two spectacle and a scooter that says neither of them could have wanted to. i mentioned before the loans were hamilton reichen and. webber you know all these guys are good guys but you need the car you need the team so if you could better. cater him he would know when he may be performing better than the current drivers i don't know but for sure you must have a good car you must have a good team but the good teams in the good cars find the good drivers and the whole thing moves forward together there are many ifs and buts in sport but the combination of sebastian fattal and red who has worked wonders so far and with half the season gone the german is pretty much on course for his fourth street title. let's turn to some fighting talk now as undefeated tyson fury says he's doing full boxing champion david haye

a favor after the two british heavyweights announce they'll face each other in manchester in september let's not get things confused a bit i'm talking you of only your the dog and i'm talking you at home because before the tyson fieri fight well we're going to go hey did you have to fight nobody giving you a chance so you can claim your claim of fame to try and be here is not we have a way around. well meanwhile promoters and trainers have big plans for chinese stars just you making as the two time olympic champion prepares for his second pro fight after winning on his professional debut in april the thirty two year old flyweight is jude to face a lesson on mexican tazers ortega in macau later this month. it's the premier fighting in china users for the early part of the world everyone who goes battles is very talented we believe we believe them through a title but these are major drug charges the we believe we can make of the

retraction here in the united states and in the meantime ice hockey star is all set to return to the k h l after announcing his retirement tony n.h.l. the thirty year old had twelve years left on his one hundred million dollars deal with the new jersey devils but says he wants to go back home and could be rejoining sconce in petersburg the sign he played for during the n.h.l. lockout last season. while in the n.b.a. center superman how it was formerly introduced as rocket man after moving to houston on a four year contract the twenty seven year old free agent rejected the chance to stay with the lakers after a year and now joins a team which reached the playoffs last season and retired houston legend a key on a jew on and young meeting with there to celebrate howard's signing. now a daring world record has been smashed in america as a local sports writer escaped on hurt after catching

a baseball that was dropped from a helicopter somehow paul is an avid baseball collector and has called almost seven thousand balls in the stands at major league stadiums but his latest was the special one as it was dropped from a record height of three hundred sixty six meters or over a thousand feet was traveling at around one hundred fifty three kilometers per hour before hampel got hold of it on the ground. and let's finish in the air as the russian women skydiving team has broken the national record with the formation of one hundred one people five and a half kilometers up in the skies above moscow and our intrepid reporter michael craft dropped in with this report. in two thousand and twelve the sky perl's russian women skydiving team was on top of the world setting a national record with a formation jump of eighty eight people however their late captain eating this needs and i believe the team to do even better daring to imagine a one hundred and two way jump tragically snit's and i died last year leaving the

dream hanging in the balance but the team's leader knew they had to attempted in honor of their captain swenson something there was there's no such thing as impossible but training for any job even a two way jump is difficult the men's record is a four hundred way and the women's record is a one hundred eighty weight on skydivers from all around the world got together in two thousand and ten for that monumental job ours is no less daunting and we're looking at a one hundred two way jump and all of them are russians. the team had to go through formation training on the ground first before taking to the skies for a series of attempts to try and break the previous record jumping from five and a half kilometers and reaching speeds of up to two hundred kilometers per hour the concentration and safety precautions were paramount if they were to succeed something the group were keen to stress that it is

a great responsibility for all of us because it's down to each and every one of us whether or not it was said this new record but where it seemed we all get along well with each other we've been training all week so there is little doubt we can't achieve old girl the weather conditions were near perfect throughout their initial attempts but with the last potential jump a looming tensions began to rise of the still not managing the feat but you can also it's an amazing feeling but we're going to have to work harder to make it happen it's only the first he attempts but this is our task this is why we're here so we'll get it done. making mistakes and it's frustrating but we'll continue plugging away. but lady luck was on their side and on the final day for the record attempt the sky pearls made it happen creating a perfect flower formation in the skies just outside of moscow setting a new national mark of one hundred and one and probably one they'll want to break yet again and to find out just how daunting

a jump like this could be i signed up myself a decision i kept debating well and who are sent before i reach the point of no return. oh. ok i say i'm certainly not a polish guy like the ladies but with this jump i managed to match my own record of jumping from four thousand meters. reporting for r.t. in the moscow region. and that's all from this posting for another week i think i. owe. music is our job the army our destiny these soldiers don't know what real arms look like but it didn't take them a single shots to conquer the world.
