a long race in recent years we've been putting together our own team that participates in twenty four hour cart races across europe and in the middle east and it's great we've not only managed to bring it to russia but also make it such a fun weekend for anyone and all morning. after the success of a twelve hour go karting race back in two thousand and twelve organizers felt it was time to up the stakes to a full day of nonstop racing fourteen teams comprised of professional amateur and celebrity drivers had to complete as many laps as possible during twenty four hours only stopping to refill or change drivers while such adrenaline and there's so much competition at there it's just like in my profession everybody wants to be the best and this race is no exception. just like it's more or less just relative the famous le mans twenty four event was not only a fun weekend out but also

a real insurance test even if it was only with nine horse power engines the race proved to be very tight with the first and second place teams finishing within just twenty five seconds of each other and the eventual winner has managed to complete a whopping two thousand four hundred thirty four laps. it through turned out to be a difficult race by an interesting one at that i was pretty impressed by how many wore the opponents were out there and that's what you want in any competition even though it's in a fight right in two of the end and to be able to come out on top after twenty four hours with such pressure use them testing. with a twelve hour race and twenty. and now the twenty four hour race who's to say there won't be a thirty six hour go cart race in the future. well it's still a lot of grandiose as lamont twenty four but it is russia's first ever twenty four

of the shocked your football club and kind of gonda kazakhstan believe that a certain special ritual help them achieve victory against the world famous scottish team celtic this ritual was sacrificing his sheep at the stadium as someone who lived in kazakhstan for two years i know there's a real meat eating country with deeply rooted traditions in life stock racing so this news is unusual but maybe it's not completely bizarre for the culture of course defenders of animal rights who don't seem to realize that the sheep would be turned into people of the next few days anyways demanded that you a full officials punish the shock to a club for the actions of individual fans this is the same logic as if someone wearing a sexy tim kirby t. shirt went around robbing liquor stores i am not responsible for the actions of people like this program and it's not like i'd ever advocate robbing liquor stores and i doubt the shocked your management secretly arranged for fans to slaughter the sheep at the stadium where the slaughter of animals is acceptable to you or not

well that's one thing but we don't need to regulate the morality of individuals in other countries via soccer especially if that regulation means punishing the football clubs who aren't responsible for the actions of individuals but that's just my opinion. this is the media leave us so we leave them the. motions to the way your party is a go. for shoes that no one is asking with to get that you deserve answers from. politicking . our team. we speak your language as i think about the law another day in. one program some documentary some spanish what matters to you. a little turn it in bangalore

are young through have just won three gold medals for south korea at the two in the olympics in two thousand and six but just a few weeks later that future looked to be in limbo after a disagreement and subsequent irrepairable fallout with the korean skating union however russia offered on a new chance and a new home in the hope he could reproduce his medal winning performances. when i came to russia two years ago for the first three months i missed career but then i met other athletes and things became better i like being here i like the food the culture it's all very interesting. after missing out on the vancouver games due to his then ongoing differences with the korean federation the twenty eight year old is determined to make a name of himself in the upcoming olympics season. last year i started to skate professionally again and with every competition i've participated since then i've been true for this year has also been good for me with

the russian championships and i had to do well in the upcoming world cup however the russian short track team isn't all about victor ron who won two silver medals at this year's world championships in hungary according to french coach sebastian go there are other skaters in the team that are ready to challenge the status quo and if we look at the last series through that victory the biggest number of clear though but it was not the only one so sure why did that guys. can do so too there really as well so i don't see that on the boy side it's of course victor but there is few guys where you. can do good things. and one of those guys is letting me a goodie of who won silver in the five thousand meter relay with on at this year's world championships and he's delighted to have a man of armes experience in the russian squad. the whole collective is a very easy going and it's great to get along with victor both on the ice and all

three with their absolutely no ill feelings and we're all keen to talk and hang out together and that's great. as host nation russia will have a full quota of places on their roster five spots each for the men and women the qualification process will start in november for those hoping to make the team and while russia seems to be making steady progress in short track speed skating they will still have a battle on their hands to claim a podium spot in sochi when they come up against the sport's powerhouses like south korea china and canada. genco r.t. . moscow region. after picking up just two medals of materials and ten vancouver olympics the pressure is on russia's figure skaters to improve ahead of their home games in sochi however hopes are high with a new talented generation emerging as our correspondent macleod scholz and that. hopes were high for a long a little over after an impressive silver medal at last year's world championships

elite however twenty thirty hasn't been the best of seasons for the twenty two year old she could only manage a disappointing thirteenth place at this year's worlds in london ontario got the offer from the start of my training was really intense and was heard but i knew what i'd let myself in for i really needed to concentrate on my skating but i'm happy and have things are going and will be ready for the olympics. has changed her program ahead of the games and should be no skating to the music of comment during her routine the st petersburg native is currently ranked ninth in the world and there is plenty of competition within the russian camp with i believe a certain a cover and elizabeth a doctor misha we're also in the top ten list on of are really into is the friendly rivalry between the competitors and believes it helps her to improve she has a room for months to prepare for the world championships in taiwan and has been getting ready in the usa which hasn't always been easy for us carol that's about it

was difficult to get used to living there at first but things got easier with time there was a cow magnetosphere and there were plenty of training sessions so it certainly didn't die of boredom. just like leon over the our stance of the illini and nicky thickets a lump of ace or coach one nickel or models of the pair were trying to perfect a new program and will be darting to swan lake which was written by the legendary russian composer theatre czerkawski and villainy who is just nineteen certainly believes their routine has a lot of potential or she has that we really want to do justice to this amazing piece of music and i think this music will help to motivate us and make us better due to the inspiration will get from performing teammate who haven't looked to copy all the elements from the ballet on to the ice we have a number of difficult moves that we're trying to master in our four minute program

but i think it will be really strong and moving. the jewish finished ninth at this year's world championships but it's still in the shadow of fellow russians rover and dimitri sell a view of who won bronze at the same event with their lympics so close the pair aren't looking to make any major changes to their routine they both understand they will be under a lot of pressure when the games get underway but the young really should be living up to expectations and will look to make a major statement in sochi in four months time. nicolo chose forty was going. on move on from fighting talk to talk of fighting art shell maligned live in maybe russia's best combat support of more tie this young aspiring part. russian a bear of a kids of his prime in himself and even greater glory as michael crabtree found out

despite being only twenty two of is ready to compete with the best the russian bear has already been crowned three time world and four time european amateur champion. and made an instant impression stateside when he defeated louis in a glory nine matches including two blistering blows that wowed the crowd. i suppose i'm a workaholic when i was young i was always told to finish what you started and as a child i always dreamed of winning the war through sport you know becoming a world champion and it's taken a long time and quite a few losses but i never lowered my game and it's got me to where i am now but he does his also emerging from the shadow of russia's most successful. live in the to come from the same city in southern siberia and have known each other since they were kids and although twenty six year old live in beat but he dove in a world cup fight back in two thousand and ten that you continue to spar together.

i've known our joan for a long time and we still train at the same fight club you could say i grew up watching him when i began to fight seriously he was already a world champion so when i began sparring with him it was really tough for me but i think it was all for the best because of what i've achieved since. but heat of status as a recognized white tie fighter was underlined when he became one of a select few to help train a bunch of hopefuls in a russian reality t.v. show something the potential stars of the sport were quick to praise. these aren't just guys who've come of the streets to try and they've gone through fire and brimstone to get where they are now they've long done what we're now doing and have tested it and gained invaluable experience and what they're teaching on is only what's necessary for real fight in real life so not to listen to them would be a sin the russian bear is certainly want to respect especially when you hear his

determination to be the best in every kind of tournament. was that because i don't like to look too far into the future but i do want to continue fighting in the golden glory fight serious i thought i performed well in my debut fight in new york and right now they're considering my candidacy in the seriously of course i'm also focusing on the upcoming russian amateur championships as well as the world combat games in october. with such a calm and focused approach the young bear may well eclipse his lion mentor and rise to the top of the mighty world. r.t. moscow. of the paid chan the call to the open air power shooting world cup a second place just outside moscow where the competitors battle the elements to execute precise landings and i went along to take a look. it may not be everyone's idea of a pass time or immediately consider as a sports police parachutists it's

a way of life decision and timing are everything as the competitors try to land in an area of two square metres of jumping from a high needs of over one and a half kilometers. over eighty competitors from nineteen different countries were taking parts each for a line free jumps using the water to help slow them down before eventually trying to land on the target zone which is easier said than done. curry shooting often has reception of being one of the riskiest extreme sports given the obvious fact that jumpers prove themselves out of airplanes relying on what amounts to a large piece of fabric on a harness to break. how the parachute is nicholai so hard to make of says it's not as death defying as it looks. up ice and so i wouldn't say that it's more dangerous than a lot of other sports from my personal experience i would say the works of rally

driving are just as dangerous the most important things to be aware of what's going on and remember that i have loved ones waiting for me at home of course it's nice to get a good result but my own wellbeing is certainly more important russian parachute team receives very little private funding and often has to pay to compete which can be expensive this is in contrast to the soviet union with parachuting was well supported by the states as it was promoted to help increase civil defense. despite this sports is still seeing an increase in popularity with five to six fires an amateur is turning up to chum at this airdrome every year proving that the sky isn't the limits of those who seek their frills in the air richard pombo for the dancy the moscow region. well it's all from the sports same hope you enjoyed it's life and i.
