i'm going to be guaranteed to play as long as i'm training on playing well and. this is the best place for me to be leading up to the world cup and so i took all that into account all that into consideration but it was so overwhelmingly obvious that this is the place i want to be leading into hopefully my fourth world cup. well meanwhile pep wadia enjoys a merino faced each other again as by immunity to ten month chelsea five four on penalties in the european super cup final in prague fernando torres volley the blues in front off to minutes then straight after the break frank rebury equalized from twenty five yards chelsea a last remaining us to a second booking late on but two minutes into extra time a them has not restore their lead better check them produced a flurry of saves but couldn't stop having martin as levelling with the last kick of the game and off the nine successful penalties manuel neuer safe from remember lou compu to give quadea his first trophy with fine in my opinion the best team

lost the team that deserves more to win last but that's football sometimes it happens in football not always the best team the best team wins a lot always a team that deserves more win the game we have the opportunity to win the first time for this club the super cup. so no bias of the titles around the world it is the first time in we are so proud for for her this club to make bigger. well three days before their european super got triumph by and dropped their first points of the buddha's league a season after they were held to a late one one draw at struggling freiburg don't you care we put a dominant bond ahead off the thirty three minutes but the defending champions have to settle for a point often little less go snatch a stunning piece that equalize a fine and i'm second two points adrift of brasil dortmund. while a governess second leg draw a time to ten month athletico madrid was enough to see barcelona try on away goals

and lift a record eleven spanish super cup that developers produced great saves on either side of the interval visit of ben hunt reproduce sent off late on in the last minute boss were awarded a spot kick start strike a little messy but the ball in coach for the other martino still claimed his first piece of silverware after guiding the cats one giant twelve one one until the away leg. now with the european basketball championships about to get underway russia finished their preparations with a comfortable friendly win at home to ukraine and head to slovenia in a confident mood because the temperatures are both as more. it's been six years since russia lifted their biggest bust them all too often as they edge pro spain in the euro basket decided in madrid that it blots man men failed to defend their title but did play in bronze into a nail our five members of that squad will miss this year's event including all

star forward on that he can enter into my famous go as the two meter a sixteen centimeter or seven foot tall center took a break to prepare for ollie for the new n.b.a. season but only because it is my training is going well but it's a pity i can't help the side of this tournament it's hard to watch the game sitting in the stands and not playing i believe that these guys can achieve a lot blot his sins gun and the role of head coach has now passed to us to look at ourselves in the build up to the european championships the russians steered his side through in mind friendlies with mixed results and it was only after claiming victory in the last match at home to ukraine that their olympic bronze medalist felt a real sense of optimism despite trailing twelve points to two in the first few minutes against ukraine the russians for the back don't to be dominating on the court and just as he had been in the last summer olympic bronze medal match against argentina minnesota's alex he should be at was the nation's leading scorer this time sinking

twenty three of the points in the eighty six to seventy win but this was published i feel some acts are sponsored military and they know that manifests count on me it's all trying my best not to let them down work even harder and claim victory. while city could i self once again proved he was russia's biggest boss but the nineteen year old son of the head coach and cleveland cavaliers draft pick is keen to shine in his second major tournament as his country's much change squad turns to you rather than experience but by the way that we have a new team with new coaches we're getting to know each other's game and we had to win this last match on home ground to gain extra confidence at. we're in a tough group of the eurozone that we're hungry for with us civil do our best job was always to that's most of the other we have many young players and a lot depends on the atmosphere within the team there are a few things we need to improve but it's so far i'm satisfied of the way we play tonight's if russia finishes at least seventh in slovenia they will qualify for

next year's world championships in spain in the first group stage they will face twice former winners italy and greece as well as turkey sweden and finland and if they knew form confidence leads to an opening victory against the tail and so wednesday then russia's younger stars will be hoping for a podium finish as well as a ticket to spain constantine by the above our team. moving on to tennis and there have been several big name upsets at the last grand slam of the season the u.s. open in the women's draw or two thousand and eleven champion sam styles that was the first round highest profile casualty with a shock three set defeat to american teenager victoria duval the eleven seed lead by a set of four games to two but the seventeen year old qualifier for back to stun the home crowd before crashing out of the next hurdle. and it was a third round exit for checking patrick bitter that is the former wimbledon

champion fell ill and bow danced to american wildcard alison risk six three six love and former world number one caroline wozniacki also lost as italian qualify at camilla georgia prevailed in a twenty three set at four six six four six three. while you katherina mccarver is the last russian standing in the women's draw after upsetting wimbledon finalist sabine lisicki of germany six four seven five in the third round before also knocking out polish birdseed national banks got six four six four to reach their second grandson go to form the season but maria kirilenko fell victim to the hands of simone. inform rumanian extended her winning streak to eight matches with an easy six love six one victory and two time grand slam winner spent on equipment so but also turned into the net go crashing out to get his body up america seven five six one. and in the men's draw thirty two year old

lleyton hewitt claimed the biggest scalp so far seem not transfixed the torn martin del potro who made seventy errors in the second round five set battle to form a champions that lasted just over four hours this trainee in veteran went on to beat yevgeny don't score in four sets and makes faces another russian in the last sixteen. now let's move on to ice hockey as some of the stars of the russian national teams and valves they knew a little bit kits with the red machine targeting gold at the country's main winter games in sochi next february michael crabtree and co reports. the unveiling of a new kit for any team carries with it a sense of a new start but for russia's ice hockey teams the strips unveiled last week serve more as a reminder of past excesses the men's white jerseys have eight gold crowns on them and eight gold stars on the red version signifying the eight olympic gold medals

won by russia and the soviet union and the new kids are also meant to galvanize the team and the nation ahead of russia's biggest sporting event yet the sochi twenty fourteen winter olympics where the men will hope to make it gold number nine with the help of n.h.l. star alexander ovechkin. every athlete wants to participate in the olympics as it's one of the most important the words in your life but it's one thing to take part and not think to when we were shows always want to win and i think we have what it takes especially with this new kit you always want to perform in a nice new kit. and the chelan russia legend alexei yashin took overall charge of the women's national team last december and in preparation for the olympics has now expanded his role to work with the men's squad. because born i'll still be the general manager of the women's team and will continue to work with them but i also now be working closely with the men's team especially with those players based in

the u.s. as i spend a lot of time there and can check up on my performances and fitness more closely. meanwhile just outside of moscow at the training center men's head coaches in italy believe will lead the red machine to gold at the two thousand and twelve world championships was busy working with the squads russian based plays and believed in the thinks there's no discrepancy within the national team between those members who play in the n.h.l. and those from the cato. we don't have any inhale players training here right now but when we gathered in sochi recently to check out the infrastructure the lads had time to catch up the atmosphere within the squad was great plus there were hardly any differences between the n.h.l. players and the k h l players which makes it all the better however the head coach stressed that while spirits are high the squad's main goal was to hone this commodity to help them focus on succeeding at the winter olympics. and i wouldn't

say there are many difficulties ahead in terms of preparation as everything is going according to plan but i think the main task will be to really get each player to shake off any personal issues they might have and ensure we put together the most tight knit team possible only this way can we realize our goal. is with just over five months to go until russia is first ever went to games it seems there's no lack of enthusiasm in the men's ice up the team and they'll be hoping that this will be the extreme greedy and to help put another star on the red shirt michael genco r.t. . and that golden ambition brings us to the end of part one but don't go away as we'll be back with more on ice action after the show break. ok. i do have a crock it welcome to ten year all of virginia edge

a little island in the middle of the chesapeake bay and a virginia shod. county. a romp a year all in the chesapeake bay probably one of the best our is an offensive salt fred. this is an old picture of ten year island before the channel was cut oh here. a way up there. as go all. right here are some of the headstones from the graves it for here this is a fruits that's that's what we don't want to happen to taint your all and we want to get some protection and make sure that we don't go into the chesapeake bay like uppers did in other communities. it was a. very hard to take on. once again here is

a plan by adding that fact would that hurt their nuts. thanks so.

much. welcome back to the sports show and do a regime point to insult she way another defeated norway to win the four nations ice sledge hockey tournament and russia beat the czech republic to wrongs in the final test event before the country's first winter paralympics michael crouch anchor reports from the black sea resort. the reigning world champions canada went into the final as favorites with a one hundred percent record in the round robin tournament well no we had just suffered one defeat but it was a five one drubbing at the hands of the canadians and true to form the north american side easy win two zero up in the first period then cruise control in the second coasting to a three an elite and could have scored more than norwegians bravely held off their opponents going into the third of canada added two more goals later on to seal a convincing five zero victory and keep the un record intact win or lose this term

at the meetings come see the race. you know just know the atmosphere how the how the puck goes off and see the change rooms that was the number one goal this week it's a one off i've got a game it's just kind of the ratio in the case. you know we have great difficulty so we're we're still doing try to train now we've got talent spots and you know september first we want to be here and so it's. just well right now i'm already thinking about all the work we have to do we get home so i will enjoy tonight and he'll jump on the thing to watch and then they'll be back to sit in the match to decide the place russia had the chance to make amends for a disappointing overall showing after failing to register a single victory while opponents the czech republic were also looking to avoid finishing last and opened in the first period but russia immediately leveled. the home fans urged the team on with trumpets and the familiar cry of shy shy or one

more go and russia julie responded scoring twice in a second to take a three one lead though the czechs pulled one back before the break however the floodgates opened for the home nation in the third as russian that's it for an ounce of goals to finally secure a comprehensive seventy two first victory of the tournament and with it the bronze medal. our first game didn't go very well maybe we weren't properly motivated then however against the chicks we were. and forth and we were third and we simply couldn't let ourselves down we also knew it would be an forgivable to let down our fans coaches and everyone who works with us so we grit our teeth and we got the result we get to feel blimp experience and that was once all the changes but it was good for everyone to test a new venue. and while the competitors had the opportunity to practice in their arena well they'll be vying for gold come march those who planned the test event were also impressed with the new infrastructure great job with the facilities the

organization the organizing committee this extremely well organized and cooperative so easy to work with which is important for us coming in and having a vent like this so at this point we're really happy with you know the preparation that's taking place for the paralympic games and i think we all can look forward to a great great event come march so with all the test events now successfully over the shi'a or puck arena can now focus on the fine details with the seventh of february and the seventh of march now firmly within sight when the seven thousand seat arena is set to be filled with fence shouting the rally cry show for the national team like of genco saatchi well let's stay on the ice as the sixth season of the kontinental hockey gets underway this week and robert fatton man takes a closer look at the hold as the nominee and contenders taste go after they face

each other in a pre-season tournament here in moscow. saw that in russia nice hokey classics the country's most famous club around the globe and in a most skilled one of their arch local rivals throughout the decades in domestic leagues up on two occasions and even in the division games the ice rink is a battlefield my legs never oak the man who led the reigning champions and i must go to the victory twice in a row and john for charity the american who was with it you gotta let hard stanley cup winning team as an assistant coach and cross the atlantic to take over and revive the glorious traditions of the on the men who are going to try and play a fast. with a lot of conditioning the last month. or so we have a strange coach. we want to play a scheme and you know we're going to make mistakes as we go along here because some

new system and we're just going to keep trying to improve in that system you know week by week and month by month. by christmas a fast game exactly what gave them. in the maersk up match against the non-o. sedition opened two minutes before the first intermission to prove some of the team chemistry is already there for monk who are can export brandon reed to turn winner without bourse alexei models of the likes of seasoned professionals for their further off and alex a break in just some of the new reinforcements this isn't we're just trying to put together a group of guys we've got almost twelve new players so we're not you know we're focusing on just getting better game by game. and just hopefully we can just keep building our team to play like a team like i and the team managed to level the game in the final period not seem so obvious make it one one on a pole play with

a great eight. it would help his one club during the lockout watching from the stands yet though the blue and white had retained last year's victorious roster there yet to regain their imperious form it was the other men who snatched the three three minutes from time to dish it out of netting a brace to seal the final score of q one has completely my congratulations to scoff for this when when the game started we just weren't ready for the temple they set us we managed to pick up the pace in the second period and i would shot them in the third and it was a good game we always want to win and i'm glad we played with heart and we're close to coming from behind so we'll be working even harder now that means the devil defending genocide going to be even tougher to the throne this isn't while the other man eventually secure the maersk up and could well be one of the main threats

to the none has done us but i'm not fighting them r.t. moscow i am staying with winter sport the new ball place season gets underway in november and that's when russian team leader at exams is a call for is preparing to be in top form for his fifth winter games in sochi author recruiting a former rival in his quest for gold because i didn't get up off has more. nineteen ninety nine was a turning point for alexander's of course and for russia after more than korea on the lose he switched to bob slate and became a star they say be remade to for the first russian to win the european and then the world championships as well as the world cup and now aged thirty nine he is preparing to claim the one man old that so far eluded him olympic gold on his feet for periods and at his home advantage horton were still in training so we're far from top form at the moment we have time and a lot to do before the olympic season gets underway the main thing is to avoid

injuries and if we work hard enough we'll get the result. i at the two thousand and six games in two in zuckoff to excel when the four men event and added bronze in the two man board four years later in one coober he then retired to become the minister of sport in his home region offer coots but just a few months later he was back dating the two man team to their maiden world championship go and have to saw their limbic track will also host russia's first ever world championships in two and a seventeenth a date in the targets of call has yet to rule out i've never said to anyone that i'd quit after the sochi olympics will see how we perform there and it all depends on my health if i'm fit enough then who knows what might happen zuckoff is now training under his former rival and canada's most successful bobsledder p.r. looters the forty two year old retired after competing at his feet and also home

olympics and then cover and became russia's coach last year now the one time adversaries have teamed up and aim to bring home russia's first man saw they had the olympic gold i think the thing that's very unique with with alexander and myself is there was always a good level of competition when we competed there were never any problems i think there was a high level of respect and that's carried over not only with him but with all the athletes. you know where we're not working together and we're working together for the goal and that's to win when you know it at the olympics for russia to get it i like working with looters well just a couple of years ago we were competing against each other so it didn't take long for us to understand how we'd work together after three decades on the track in two different disciplines and with a host of achievements of thirty nine year old zuckoff now has just one target gold for russian saatchi consignee about out of r t. now after all that wintry action
