a war that russia all my career as one of the youngest ever drove the same was and got to say it was a formal and you know it's it went like this for all my career in the form of looks like to have with the same. it's always as i said it's always like a joke and doesn't mean that if you're young you have a disadvantage because you have maybe a bit less experience than somebody else and some points of view but it's not that a problem you know it's it's maybe sometimes even better because they have less pressure because they have more time to. while the motor g.p. championship leader mark marquez became the first rider to win five races in his debut season with victory at burnout in the czech republic britain's cal crutchlow started on pole but crashed out on lap eight but marquette claimed his fourth win

a sport but spot attracting big crowds beach volleyball and the moscow grand slam where latvia and brazil reigns supreme on either coast russian stage of the world tour and robert that onion news there. no sun and nasty weather plus no russians even in the semifinals they saw was still not enough to keep the crowd home from the beach global moscow grand slam the spectators were forwarded with ratio by some of the world's best do it's a rainy sunday in the russian capital so the pinnacle the five day tournament ladies first money. the brazilian sisters neil missed out on the stage by one point on friday but in the end the team proved to be the strongest in the women's field after overcoming germany's laura ling and euna walken forced to kneel in the finals i think we serve it really good and when you worried me.

and the server also saw. this we wanted to be really aggro and. i think that makes the difference. and even at an event like this a fan can still be sure for a while they stand around a goal in the stands entertain the crowd during the short break between the women's and the men's finals where in the other brazilian team last year's victor in one area go and he spot if one they're going so wish place lot to this two thousand and twelve london olympics bronze medalist younis and his new teammate looks under some . it was a lot of bands out shined their opponents in this particular final in two sets. so we've done pretty well tonight we played nearly a perfect game and alexander did a great job blocking their attacks but. you know this is an example well it

guess. millions recognise him as one of the sport's greats and only if you know him as a man whose health has always been a threesome because of severe spinal these problems first flying through the pain of the gym and only then proving his skills in the public eye and such mental strength is a formidable yes it with genetics haven't changed over the years. trying to move with the sunni in some respects our generation was stronger there were eighteen others present day athletes would have been it's difficult to compare them as the riders constantly change in general this i believe gymnastics has got more. complicated and the average level of competition is much higher now we with quite a lot of nations able to win medals but the thing is many russian and soviet coaches went to broaden even one of the sports powerhouses in china to actually adopt in the soviet training system and they thought. well back in russia at the

a good gymnast doesn't mean great coaching ability so for now but i'd rather do my best to help an assistant kids who do support group but not train them. there are still a lot of new for arises for the same emma before tunnel and the jam band is currently busy with promoting gymnastics share their activity as a member of the louis world sports academy and in being a journalist as editor in chief of a one of russia's top sport magazines hoping to inspire with boards as much as he did with the. project but only on r.t. . and talking of inspiring deeds the fitness phenomenon called cross fit is sweeping the globe with russia holding its fifth competition here in moscow and michael got janko went along to find out what it's all about. i.
