but first athletics and with russia's first ever world championships due to start at the luzhniki stadium here in moscow this saturday there was a double blow in the head tough learned defending champion tatyana chernova was forced to pull out of her home event due to a knee injury while a little bit gold medalist jessica ennis hill will also miss the world event because of a nagging achilles problem however the pole vault world record holder elena is in by about will be there looking to end her stuff like career in style or what might be the thirty one year old's last major tournament where you have on court reports . going to be a championship titles are being successful grief amongst. one star and one more medal to her trophy cabinets gone from home games. they've used to do i've got i have so much motivation to do well in this world championships i really like it when the crowd gets behind me so i don't like all my friends to watch me and p. . it'll be an amazing experience to have so much support in this imbibing was

a hot favorite to win a third limbic gold going into the london games yet had to be content with first place the russian seriously considered quitting off the bank disappointment last summer but thankfully far from it expands she had a change of heart. that if they see year's world championships weren't taking place in most cases then i definitely have retired after the london olympics i notice i suffered a drop in form and my results weren't as good as they used to be however after the games i took a long look at myself and worked on the technical side of my jumps and things and moving forward this imbiber is suffering from something that medal drives the last major title coming the british england picks in two thousand and eight despite sex in the carnival recalled the following year a form venditte and she took twelve months off for the pole vault great now believes she's almost back to our best some of almost the most important thing is

my jump is guess and so much better the technical side of my jumping is the past it's been a long while and that's really satisfying for me i've been working towards the world championships with my coach and i'm sure i will be in good form i have to be in good form fittingly want to be some buyer of his last big competitions will be in a very stadium where she competed in one of her first fifteen years ago a she's sixty a promising young star won gold in a world junior event to the usually key stage here she cleared four meters on medication and or the course of her career has spent about mach by one metre in six centimeters yet for me it's really nice to compete in the stadium as this was where my career as talented a long time ago in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight i was taken part in the world youth games and thankfully i enjoyed an amazing career after eight not much has changed since then in terms of the stadium the track is due. friend but i'm

really looking forward to competing here at the worlds this in my research in my computer to diamond league meetings of your term i want to choose a second to trim a retirement or championships depending on her results you have a double olympic and world champion is one of the most decorated half breeds of the last two decades and would love nothing more than to british a glittering career one law school was in front of a home for. richard one point three dollars. well meanwhile one of our flat it's bigger stars you saying bolt has arrived in moscow looking to regain his one hundred metre crown while also defending his title in the two hundred metres but before going back into training bolton showed his artistic side as the six time olympic champion swapped his spikes for a mike to throw a jamaica party in the capital's gorky park d.j. bolt is one of the biggest attractions at the fast approaching world championships out of even taking a crash course in russian to win over political founds. because. particularly

this. point is sad story that's how. i put my head out. now football and there might be five years to go until russia host the world cup but construction is in full swing across the country including the city of surrounds some six hundred kilometers east of moscow the navy is one of nine stadiums being built from scratch with three more existing arenas set to be upgraded by world cup then you must hold at least forty five thousand spectators but after the tournament up a seat will be dismantled to reduce the number to twenty six thousand he will a name is set to become the home ground of local side mordovia were relegated last season after making their premier league debut. and building for the future was

the message from by a new nick honorary president franz beckenbauer when the former defender recently came to moscow and i went to meet the man they call the kaiser who is looking to tomorrow to help make football history. franz beckenbauer is a true football legend nickname's de kaiser the german remains the only man to have captained and coached his country to world cup glory and with by need it's the only player to have led his club to three consecutive european cup triumphs boks the sixty seven year old is looking forward not back the uses of future not the future of the future so i think it's the best idea that and the best for his football and beckon bauer's in moscow to support gazprom suitable for friendship scheme which promotes solidarity and fair play through kids' football while the former defender thinks development of the younger generation has helped improve germany's bundesliga urns national team who started to fifteen years ago in the academies

or each club has an obvious its own take at them is all turman players playing for the for the german national team they all come from this academies it's also a point to be successful and successful they have been last season and indomitable bind to the unique travel of domestic league and cup and champions league trophy as well germany's record is consistent and impressive three times champions of europe and three time winners of the world cup back about things hosting football's biggest tournament in two thousand and six provided a legacy which boosted his nation as it will russia work up to two thousand and eighteen comes to russia and syria helped them a lot a lot of preparation new stadiums it's convinced that the world cup two thousand and six helped germany tremendously to be successful like like today this will happen in russia. you know when the world cup is two thousand and eight if russia

could be germany's example it could go one step further than to sky's two thousand and five you wait for a cup victory and soon it's in two thousand and eight producing a champions league winning try out and luring a world class young coach such as body ella is added says back and can make the very in giants better. going to pose in the last years a very very successful mate a triple as you know what what can people have to do to improve the team you can do a lot he knows how to improve players single players how you can improve the team and he will do it definitely along with encouraging young coaches and players and building stadia they're going to sleep good traps usually have systems of joint ownership which generally work with the new weight is new financial fair play rules and they can bow thinks this format could benefit other european leagues not spending more money then they take the money so that's i think that's the best

system that's for insure money we have a very very relative system we have created their financial fair play the system and i hope it works but i hope we have for you strong enough to really to control that lapse back about his faith in us investment in fair play you might see more idealistic in the game increasingly dominated by money it's in practical terms germany has raised the bar in europe and will again be a major contender in next year's world cup so perhaps the kaiser is not just part of an illustrious past but also a glorious future partridge party school. so from the future to the costs let's look over the week that was in the world of sport. on monday syria runners up napoli paraded their new signings at the status on paolo before a three one friendly win over turkish side gala tough serai new manager rafael

benitez greeted the fans along with striker gonzalo higuain and goalkeeper pepe reina on loan from liverpool however the celebrations were muted out of respect for the victims of a nearby coach crash that police season opener is at home to belong here on august the twenty fifth. while on tuesday a fellow italian slide into milan gave a trial to n.b.a. star steve nash in somewhere in the u.s. for a pre-season tournament while lakers god nash is an avid soccer fan and a part owner of m.l.s. side vancouver whitecaps yet the thirty nine year old canadian won't be quitting his real job and aims to use last season's early playoff disappointment to motivate him this year. on wednesday rail madrid star christiane iran although i was given the honor of throwing the first pitch when the dodgers took on the yankees at dodger stadium the twenty eight year old may be one of football's deadliest finishers but was less

accurate when he threw the ceremonial opener though his second effort is much better and one lucky fan captured a special memento after the portugal captain kicked a football into the crowd. thanks. on thursday taught them a greater reported club record forty million dollar deal with the at the striker roberto soldado the twenty eight year old netted eighty tell lies in one hundred forty six appearances for the leaders side and just scored six goals in eleven games for spain salgado is set to sign a four year deal and hopes to make his english debut in the season opener at crystal palace on august the eighteenth. and on friday world number one tiger woods he called his career best round of sixty one to take a seven shot lead at the halfway stage of the bridgestone invitational in ohio but nine under par round included seven birdies and an eagle and the thirty seven year

old held that advantage on a route to his aides title at the firestone club and goes into this week's u.s. p.g.a. championship looking for a first major win since two thousand and eight. thanks. on saturday french driver sebastian oshie extended his lead in the world rally championship after a frightening victory in finland the most like a man beat belgium steering wheel by more than thirty six seconds to post his fifth wheel of the season while too little he wrote me to her then and had to settle for force behind the way she was offered oh she now leads by ninety four and overall with a maximum one hundred twenty five left in the five remaining races. and on sunday it was a mixed day for world's touring car championship leader even after the french been prevailed in the first race in argentina but then finished outside the points as local rookie jose maria lopez won the second race to

a memorable debut however is still the runaway leader with four stops left to go and that brings us speedily to the end of part one but we'll have more high octane action straight after the break don't go away. americans have long seen latin and south america as part of their geopolitical backyard stereotypes die hard but new realities on the ground give reason to believe this continent is on the rise and determined to control its own fate regardless of washington's unilateral perceived interests and given the trends should americans be learning spanish.

welcome back to the sports show and we resume ponce with a pace of motor sport history as overall leader micro can fell a race to victory to win russia's maiden stage of the german touring cars a race calendar but off reports. need to really wait to hear and see real is finally broken brown is moscow raceway hosted russia's first ever stage of the championships regarded as the formula one of touring cars. world leader mike walker fellow went into the weekend as they were it on the short track how it would just do when separated the twenty nine year old german and last year's weena world the spaniard a flawless qualifying for a broken felon saw him grab called position while he's canadian rival could only start from fool it was involved in the collision at the first turn of lap four eventually finishing nineteenth in outside weights meanwhile worked until i was in

front until his first beat stop which handed the lead to sweden's there's an extra but with eight of the seventy four whips left to be a rock and fell it rocketed into first place and never looked back to win the third race of his career racetrack is a lot of fun to drive. very technical i think it could be a bit longer for sure maybe we can work that out in the future if we do a different a different one but even this one i like a lot i think overtaking was possible there's a lot of action on the track and i'm very happy of course to be to be doing that today around forty five thousand speak teeters walk to the moscow raceway circuit celebrating a year of success to be designed by f one architect harriman to keep it seemed as though everyone enjoyed what they saw including russia's first of a formula one driver who thought he could throw the city my first time when i see the paddock i was in they got us my service to talk with the people who think that

working here so it's fun. if you don't think it was a great race to the mike rockefeller claim his second win of the can paint at the inaugural russian stage increasing his lear with defending champion during the spangler to twenty seven points and with just four races to go it seems like the german confidently cruises to his maiden sail on same by that of r t moscow region . now from the track to the sound as well the beach circuit champions russia had the perfect warm up for next month's title defense into haiti by winning all three games at their home like in the euro make sure been portrayed has will. germany remain here and spain provided the opposition from russia in the latest leg of the beach soccer euro league first stop of the germans from russia making more proved to be a very time to plan which the reigning world champions won for free this occasion proved to be no difference as russians had to come from behind win two one really

early on as men would mind long periods from german goalkeeper sasha ping can't but eventually did enough to one big. useful i think we only really started to play it when we want to go down we knew we had to improve in order to find a way back into the game to develop we conceded midway through the second period and then gave us enough time to equalise and then thankfully find a winner russia have no such problems again to remain here with a dispatch comfortably by five goals to nail the result and even more significance for head coach me how you cut short side spot when told them qualify for the end of season super final and spain later in the week and it was spain who would be russia's final opponents of the competition despite issue one of the strongest science and world beach song can a mid twenty's took the lead only from russia to equalise would you go or you to me it popped up with the winner to send the capacity crowd home happy space is always a tough team to play against the win against them gives us a lot of confidence in our game was very silly to us and we did what we had to and

hopefully we can move on from this to achieve even better results. obviously stands for beach soccer season in russia starting to find food when it really matters especially with the super final and the world cup coming up over the next six weeks but three wins out of three for the russians but more importantly it's been excellent branches for them as a prepared to defend their world cup title into haiti next month brigit i'm fully darty moscow. and let's return to regular football because brazil legend pele says the time is ripe for his native country to lift a six world cup when they host the event next year well meanwhile time stood still on rio's cup about a beach after the clock that counts down the days until the tournament starts broke down there are actually ten months to go but the clock said there was exactly a year well despite the hake of pele thinks with winning coach big phil scolari back in charge brazil still have time to prepare for football's ultimate test two

years ago we did the look the spirit if you don't get there one team don't have one base but now with the philippe with we have a bit o. have a look at we were in the top of the national guard we have only a year to prepare the team for the world cup i think we were in the right to it. and there are less than two hundred days to go until russia has their maiden winter olympics in sochi and doesn't think the top off went to the black sea city to see how the one time seaside resort has developed into a state of the art sporting venue. july the fourth two thousand and seven a date which meant russia's seaside resort of sochi would never be the same again as this sub tropical cd one the writer who's the twenty fourteen winter olympics these geeks started one of the biggest construction sites in the world producing eleven brand new stadiums across two areas the coastal and mountain klosters spending forty kilometers this only big arena will host the most thrilling

competition the ice hockey tournament where russia hope today gold this multi-functional venue will stage where is can petition is off to the games and probably provide the home for a sochi based ice hockey team as its name suggests the iceberg ballast is a moveable venue and could be relegated to another russian city after the olympics this unique arena will also have an unusual job of hosting both feeder and short track speed skating events leaving the organizers with the challenge of keeping the ice in top condition. if you go to all but they have us now with this boy and they go to different temperatures on the ice are needed for figure skating and short track speed skating up to three events a day will be held during the games so we'll have just two and a half hours to change the temperature and surrounding boards. this world cost speed skating the arena is three four will be shoes long and has an airway equal to three ice hockey rings the black sea climate also means the ice is different to other venues yet new records are still expected to be set and after the tournament

they are is set to become an exhibition sounds. named after one of the local mountain pigs the fish is the biggest and the only steady i'm still under construction however that one house standing committee sions only the opening and closing ceremonies both again. it's forty thousand capacity will increase to forty five thousand as it's due to hold a twenty thousand world cup football match. our center is located at a height of fifteen hundred meters above sea level perfect for competitions according to the biathlon and cross-country skiing for the ration and it's set to become one of the most notable venues of the games as twenty three sets of mantles will be claimed here. on this night he predicted a stroke when the mothers on the new boys when we designed the track we knew it would be a tough one after all the test competitions we decided to make it a little easier i think in a couple of years it will be on the calendar of the world's top competitions this

center will host bob slay skeleton in loser vans and both school longest artificial dreck in the world with sixteen to and in a maximum speed of one hundred thirty five kilometers per hour the course fulfills both top safety and top competition requirements the rosa huda resort will host all the alpine skiing and snowboarding uns all the alpine runs designed by olympic champion their number who see have the same finishing year it while also choose venues have stage successful test events however two of these were cancelled due to warm weather but russia had already planned on how to beat the sunshine. you know we didn't imagine that you know we've been training how to store snipe for three years ahead of the games we plan to say fifty percent of our stock of four hundred fifty thousand cubic mentis it's cost us more than four and a half million euros i'm reasonably warm temperatures last winter became the biggest issue for the organizers and they were forced to save some snow just think

ace a specially built snow storage is covered by a reflecting sunway blanket will make sure that white powder will not become a problem next february and about out of. such a. and finally won a limp exporting which russia has an outside chance of a medal in both the men's hard women's events is curling after foster rising popularity has turned into success on the ice as nikolai chills found at. the winter games and now just six months away and it will be the sixth time that curling has been on the program for the russian men's team it promises to ban memorable olympic debut at this point on went in sochi is on a ski center and after finishing tenth overall at their first ever world championships last year hopes are high the team could even reach the podium so that one of anything can happen it's just a matter of being on form by the time of the olympics and following the coach's

instructions if we do that the medals will be within our reach while the men are working hard to finish strong title challenging team rushes women have already tasted success the double european champions and finishing fifth at last year's world championships in canada given their male counterparts something to live up to your tricks racialized the women's team started taking part in international events before we did and they have more playing experience they secured more victories we don't have as many wins because until recently we weren't as good as other teams in europe but last year we took a big step forward when we began to develop and play on a par with the top teams so i hope we can keep the momentum going and to strengthen the men's team all eyes are on the national youth team who showed their force to be reckoned with in sochi this february just missing out on first place to scotland at the world junior tournament some of that group and now potential candidates for the

scene is silent and might get their chance for glory the winter games but if you're going to go out in style they said the guys might finish fifth or even fourth but they went on and proved that anything is possible they fell just short of winning the whole thing which we have a large team in training at the moment and it's yet to be decided exactly who will be on the olympic team if these guys could well be because now we're all working together that was the museum of these ten teams will be competing for gold in sochi and with high spirits home support and the never say die attitude russia's current is will be looking to brush aside the opposition and slow to glory in the sport they call chess on ice make an arch old r.t. moscow. and that's all from the small stain by him. the interview.
