to claim a blistering victory in the one hundred meters the heavens opened just before the blue ribbon event and despite lightning flashes feeling the light sky all eyes were on the other bolt as the six time olympic champion powered past america's justin gatlin to regain his crown with the season's best time of nine point seven seven seconds off a full starting debut two years ago the twenty six year old is also off the new world record but he was still with him and. i want to do better but it just. wasn't perfect where are you going to talk about it was there boyd's car win is always what i came here for to remark that folks are going to do so but. while the host nation claims their first goal courtesy of luca alexander even off after the twenty year old prevailed in the twenty kilometer event on double olympic champion mo farah out won the men's ten thousand meters to holding off title holder even him a land of in on the final lap the thirty year old briton also aims to retain his

title in the five thousand meters. it is great to win here is the medal was missing for me two years ago second just and this year i was just so it makes it more exciting is great for the school where you. might i don't know or can give away. well meanwhile america took an early lead in the medal table after ashton eaton won the men's to castle and fellow olympic champion brittney reese dominated the women's long jump with a leap of seven meters and one centimeter and croatia's sundra perkovic won the women's discus dooku so repeats and london success. but before proceedings have got underway a group of athletes including defending a women's high jump champion and a cheater about visited the capital's icon. mc leod square for

a ceremonial start to the championships former pole vault great said gable care was also on hand to end the men's world record holder back his female counterparts elaine is in by other to claim her third world title in what could be her last major tournament. and the land that will compete in the home crowd i think she she can do good because support of the crowd support of the fram friends will help good to make good results. now let's turn to football with fabio capello's russia aiming to regain top spot in great beth as they travel to northern ireland for the latest well cup qualifier the two games in hand over their group rivals which have on court feet reports. seems karmas russian get ready for a very clash with northern ireland on wednesday five year capello is based assigned in london in preparation for the encounter though not all has been smooth in the build up to encounter an ego denise i was involved in a bus stop before my time g.t. made some reliance on masama diarra the twenty nine year old subsequently moved to

drama moscow after the southern russian club were hit by financial problems despite his son restaurants on zuba has enjoyed a great start of a season with his new club rostov says everything is going to plan. the atmosphere in the camp is great capello has told us how important this match is we have been working on our attacking options going into the match with northern ireland we all understand how crucial this fixture is for us and the good thing is that everyone is fit. capello has been handed a blow job with alexander caught in missing out through injury the twenty four year old couldn't take to the field in his science previous qualifier when they lost one nil and political however van could open the way for a real madrid midfielder binny's chair to shift to make his competitive debut something the twenty two year old is relishing. we have a good squad but if i get the chance to get on the field and help out my country i will be very happy that again it's up to the coaching staff to decide who will play

one of the two teams should have played this qualifier in march however due to heavy snow in the northern irish capital the game was called off this is likely to be one of russia's hardest remaining fixtures and zuber is expecting a bruising encounter when they take to the pitch on wednesday. we aren't expecting an easy time of things against northern ireland they're very physical side who will look to get stuck in against us and they have a very good pressing game they want to win as much as we do we must look to try and get on top of them and not let them dictate the game after the fixture in belfast russia will have four games remaining home encounters against luxembourg in israel and away games in luxembourg and as a by john russia will be expected to gain maximum points from all these games and cheer the ship of minutes three points at windsor park rusher in pole position to qualify for brazil in two thousand and fourteen. this really is

a commercial gave for us i don't think it will decide the group as there are still more games to play however we really need to win and if we have a curious it will be a big step in helping us qualify for next year's world cup in brazil russia will start a strong favorites when the game gets underway michael o'neill's side have yet to win the group and drawn at home to minnows answer by shannon luxemburg so if capello's men play to anything nearing their ability they should have few problems in picking up a valuable three points which of on bully d'arcy. and staying with football has moved from world cup qualifiers to the pick of the week's top stories. experience coach got his back in charge of russian premier league side angie after as we heard billionaire owner saleman karimov announced dramatic plans to cut back spending the sixty seven year old takes over from caretaker manager ronnie merlin stay in after coach whose hitting resigned last month the top russian players igor denice of alexander got korean and eurasia calls have already left for dinamo moscow while

foreign stars like striker samuel eto and midfielder villian could also soon exit the club. while in germany courage but claudio made a winning start in the world as leader as defending champions by a munich wrapped up a three one opening victory in time to produce human conduct back iraq when opened after twelve minutes and then swiftly turned provider for mario monti kitsch to no . bond just before the break dante helped his former side by pushing through their nets. and then midway through the second half defender alvarado domingo's found old for the first time. but almost failed to add binds third power that dominguez somehow handled for a second time. and stay with a lot made no mistake three one by him. and then p.f. emerick our man became only the six player to score

a hat trick on his part in his league debut was last year's runners up as champions league final is worse here dortmund triumph for now at times berg the gabon star opened in the first half and added two more in the second before robert leavened of ski added a late penalty. than they were in america ninety nine cap us i started dempsey finalized his return to the m.l.s. as he was unveiled as the nice striker the seattle sounders the thirty year old left a new england revolution in his homeland to join fullam in january two thousand and seven and then spent a year with taught them where he scored. well goals in forty three appearances the sounders went into the weekend sevens in the western conference. now let's move on to swimming and while russia finished third at the world aquatic championships in barcelona stop us from what you know if there ever was making a splash both in and out of the pool considering the top off has more. russia was

all smiles once again as they're all dominant synchronised swimming team swept all seven golds at the world aquatics championships in barcelona the u.s. reigned supreme in the swimming but russia's unity femur was the one bright spot for the nation that's only won one gold since that lands olympics in one thousand nine hundred six the twenty one year old when two gold medals won in the two hundred meters breaststroke yet the femur says a bronze in the real weight was more important i mean it was a surprise medal for us as we knew some key swing rushed in the squad all the young girls didn't let us down is this one with great determination for me it was the most emotional event of the championships he female and made a big splash in twenty ten as she twice storm to victory at the european championships in budapest the following year she went to america to train on the renowned coach david selling california and the russian says the move really boosted her results as she went on to claim braun's at the london olympics is going

to finish school and it all biggest difference between russian and american schools is that in the u.s. i was getting psychological stability training in california i was always supporting us even when i didn't perform well i never heard a coach being critical towards he swimmers is your third an argument broke out in barcelona between you feel more and the russians winning for the ration after she'd been obliged to be form at the recent student games in cars on a head of the world championships while officials had refused to take a few moments father is all she has coach to spain and she had to compete in the new feeding space here however the dispute between the sport's governing body and russia's biggest winning star for over a decade now seems to be over fish that just about that i've been and i don't think that truth can hurt had a talk in the federation admitted they were wrong on some issues but they will be resolved and if we work together everything will be fine in bars. you can always

seem to be gearing herself swimming hopefully she will maintain her inspired form and noticeable thinks we have to do anything at the next world championships in thousand and twenty fifteen and then at the rio olympics i don't think about the world our team. now has turned to the fast approaching winter olympics in sochi where women's ice hockey will be contested for the fifth time and after achieving a best ever bronze at the recent wall tournament russia will be aiming for a first ever podium finish as michael craft found that in may russia beat finland two nil to clinch third place at the world ice hockey championships in ottawa the result was the country's best ever showing at the women's event behind only the powerhouse duo of the u.s. and hosts canada and with the dream of claiming a maiden medal at the first of a home olympics now a reality the team of cut the holiday short and turn the focus to february in sochi . who doesn't want in the limbic medal i think everyone understands

why would come together so early in the year so i don't think anyone's thinking oh i'd much rather have gone on holiday to the maltese and then he wanted to fly the multi you have to earn money and spend money we need to work hard. the team has flourished since the n.h.l. and russian legend alexei yashin was appointed general manager last december on his guidance and that of head coach mikhail chicana of the team had acquired a culture of order and determination were among the lucky first to instill proper game discipline into the team then we took away the notion of young players versus veteran players everyone is equal we've even enforced a dress code as well as a sense of decorum which altogether has helped push the team. was as well as inspirational coaches the side will also be looking to their home support as the women's red machine goes in search of a first olympic medal while the whole squad who. hopes rekindled that fighting

spirit that saw them earn world bronze in summer well there's no doubt that alex suggestion and his managerial team are behind the recent success of the team but many do believe that is also down to their diehard come naturally and the all for one and one for all attitude but it's getting them the results it's probably not last season done for us a lot because all girls connected by a well liked friendly and we've done many styles of size not to panic to each other you know and i think this works for us to lots of russia's men i've always enjoyed a proud tradition and i saw winning eight olympic golds as the soviet union and unified teams and now the country's women will want to join their male counterparts in trying to take that tally into double figures in front of their own fans mark of jericho r.t. the region. and that sort of part one but don't go anywhere as we have plenty more

actually in part two on the court in the air on the beach and in the park. the u.s. government project arrow marty has been in place for twenty years this project was designed to break the media monopoly of cuban television by putting u.s. government propaganda up to t.v. screens this injection of american t.v. works with a blimp and a c one thirty military plane working in tandem you know this would actually be a major achievement in the history of technology if it actually worked this program which over the years has built up a billion taxpayer dollars simply does not work but continues to exist despite the cuban government completely blocking the transmission the official logic of continuing the program is that it would send a bad message to the cuban government if they stopped brilliance and action but the

big question is who gives the u.s. government the right to propagandize cubans just because they have a different lifestyle doesn't mean it is wrong and the u.s. government does has the right to destroy it and even if cubans on mass actually do hate their system then it is their job to change cuba not the military industrial complex and its cronies in washington but that's just my opinion.

i would rather ask questions for people in positions of power instead of speaking on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on r.t. question more. welcome back to the sports show and let's regime was possible as russian have trained for the first time and a new coach pressing the cut us off before being put through his own paces team regular and says guy shooting got to tell if it's on hell the counting clinics the kids and then it was back to business and robert fought on looks at russia's preparations for next month's european championships.

just. a young and hungry squad killed by a russian star of the ninety nine days that's what the nation of basketball teams is now all about my city going to sell was among europe's best point guards and has already proved himself as a trainer living mosco region side through two top three nations only finished in two thousand and twelve as well as russia's student team the big three at the recent dinner scene and just over we could do he rose to the next level taking over the country's number one team ahead of the european championships in slovenia which get underway on september the fourth. a little i'm not going to change the team that won olympic bronze and not a year ago i just want to make it stronger and with some of our leading players having left the team we've got a great opportunity to give a real chance to our young guns and test them out and let them gain experience as

was just looking to forge a great combination of youth and experience the generals. will have to make do without some of the team's brightest talents including the brooklyn nets and break their leg off and sisk us week that help us for taking a break and it's got a self son sergei place currently one of the nation's biggest hopes the nineteen year old guard who played under his father at troon it's just been signed by the cleveland could while there's an expose of blend of the likes of junior along with seasoned professionals alex a shred undone been threshold and then david onstott each of us of a genius you know it's a lot of we should be an offensive and aggressive team and we will be one said we are young ambitious and ready to work very hard to make it in. to the national squad and produce our best over there you sleep any old so you can guarantee each of us has great motivation looks

a bit prior to this year is your basket selected as those men are playing nine friendlies to decide who will be in russia's side and builds team chemistry physics like out of their own it's too early to say how strong we are it feels like we could lose to anyone but also thrash any one of us you will see how good we are in the friendly's a new coach some new klez that's the lot to be done. well you know our goal is to win every game we play i can't tell you we'll bring the year of goals to russia but i can make sure we'll give our all to win every single match and who could ask for more. archie must feel. and after a lot let's catch up with the best of the rest from this week's while the sport. over in america on monday baseball's highest paid star alex rodriguez was booed off to picking up a ban of two hundred eleven matches for allegedly taking performance enhancing drugs the new york yankees third baseman is suspended without pay until the end of

next season but the three time most valuable player has since appealed and can't play and a decision body arbitrator the thirty eight year old was given a woman reception on friday in his first home game since the news broke. and on sunday american jason dufner held his nerve to clinch his first major title with a two shot victory at the u.s. p.g.a. championship the thirty six year old beat off overnight leader jim furyk with a final round sixty eight and kill to finish ten under par sweet henrik stenson was third on seven and does not have a called the lowest score in major history with a second round sixty three on friday and a victory made up for the disappointment of two years ago when a fine shut me up this major with four to play before losing to cheating bradley in the playoffs. you know me and him it kind of came down to a two man race there and then he's

a great champion and he's played you know so well in so many majors and he's been there before so it was a tough test for me the golf course was tough but. you know like you said my name was be on the trophy and now nobody can take that away from me so it's a great accomplishment for me and i'm really excited about it. and in tennis men's world number one never joke of it and don't do a wig and danced with a giant ball to celebrate his third round win over denise is stunning in montreal however his joy turned out to be premature after the defending champion was edged out by perennial rival rafael nadal in the last four and the spanish king of clay went on to outlast local hero milosz ray on it six two six two in the final and returns to third place in the world rankings. in the women's game wimbledon champion marion bartoli ran out of rockets into wrong and had to borrow one from her slovak opponent magdaléna mubarak about the frenchwoman still retired injured at a set and again down in the third round while the batek about went on to lose to

eventual champion serena williams the world number one didn't drop a set throughout and thrashed unseeded set on a chair stay over many at six to six love in the final for her fifty fourth career titles. because exciting when i know there's room for improvement or by played my best and i know i can play any burden of leg. or. arm girty one and i still have room for improvement in minutes for me that's a good sign. and in the meantime russia were once again only god in budapest after winning gold for the full straight time at the fencing world championships the title holders face remain yet in the final of the men's team saber as nick alike idea of secured the top goal for russia after losing in the individual saber final at the hands of teammate binyamin additionally golf while a third goal to russia came in the women's team at pay off the annus of gaza let her side to victory against china. found in beach

volleyball russia's consent in semi on offset a spectacular race to wow the crowd in that lane and seal the first set against the brazilian jiu of detail philippe and evander wrote in the final of the grand slam event on saturday but semyonov and his new partner yet just let the silly golf last them enter and then the match in three sets but will be looking to go one better when the to arrives in moscow later this month. or so from the beach to the air as a group of russian daredevils boarded five planes to set a skydiving record with a difference because i didn't get up off explains all. skydiving has always attracted adrenaline junkies and in the early one nine hundred seventy s. experienced parachutists began to experiment with two people while in freefall this was the start of what became from asians guy diving the soviet union then said one

of the first official records with a twelve man formation which by two thousand and six had become an international team record of four hundred which was this year the sports federation extended the rules and introduced a new system before that we concentrated on the amount of scar divers who came together in a formation now we try to build more than one figure per jump and to set a new record we now need just over a quarter of those four hundred jumpers. to that and one hundred thirty of russia's dog skydivers met for a six day training session at cologne just outside moscow with go to his devising and synchronizing the human basel on the ground first in the pro says the team managed to save the mastic and european records but that wasn't enough and their guns as a player as a plan you know the americans and the germans have already planned to beat our record even though we haven't said it yet so don't have any room for error we just

have to do it one hundred and one russian skydiver is aim to set a new world record as they jump from five planes at a height of six and a half thousand meters and come together for two formations during their free fall . and the russians did it in style adding them names to the record books. and although them are mine not last too long it will always carry the distinction of being the first constant in by the r t. and finally muscovites had another chance to indulge that passion for extreme sports at the annual adrenaline games where skateboarders and b.m.x. riders from around the globe showed off their skills in goalkeeper and like i've changed i went to meet some of them. extreme sports monica because they're risky and few would attempt them yet the rise in popularity of skateboarding across the

nation is certainly challenging that notion and for the ninth straight year riders have competed at the adrenaline games to get their kicks and thrill the fans the guys that are up to. this event is part of the massive popularisation of the sport in russia and like for any country it unites us all together it's almost considered the russian open if skateboarding where riders from europe and beyond come to ride i have good friends from brazil and the us here and it's great to see them here looking at the crowds it's hard to believe such an event didn't exist here twenty years ago the entrance is free and curious newcomers often get introduced to the sport via such shows and it's also won with huge stars homegrown in russia are getting the chance to make their break. up but we definitely need more advance like this one i mean shows like this give young writers huge opportunities to develop their skills and again it simply helps put skateboarding on the map it's great for

people to see too in the last two years everyone started to write skateboards in gorky park back in one thousand nine hundred nine there were an estimated one thousand regular skaters in moscow and st petersburg now russia is nearing the meteoric rise of skateboarding in the west from two decades ago which means the skate scene looks set to get even bigger and this is particularly thanks to local authorities who've moved from curbing the sport to embracing it watching go there still must know what i have to give them big things to more sport for the fact that in the last few years so many new skate parks have been opened and there are more to come even concrete parks are being built you can also skated night with the lights on too so it's very much like the spots in the u.s. either backlash area next year because it's a may. people here it's amazing people and i get in here it's the same full full brazil and up i love it does exist you get ration and the vibe is so good the

girl and it goes. well it seems the most those most famous top goalkeeper since the dawn get enough all the extreme sports that drilling games has now been held in the past the third time it is many years and no doubt they'll be plenty more the future of the day go to moscow. and also from the sporting for another week i think. the interview.

most of these boys has been told to law for violence or fast. but we drove the window climbed in and tried to start it. we pushed it a little way we were drunk. and soon who you're an alcoholic nearly all of them are homeless orphans with no money or relatives. and without me school for a moment but there until i was back with those street hooligans are going to beat me up at any moment. you know that i turned my back i couldn't help wondering about my safety. goodale of is an award and he's their adoptive father you could say that slobber raises us he makes normal people out of ugly duckling.
