those were literally a stone's throw from some bottles cathedral in the kremlin though the ice wasn't quite as even as the indoor events thirty four year old goo show has previously competed innocent petersburg shopping mall i believe such events can help boost the popularity of turning across a country but is tailor made for its. russia really fits a profile of a curling nation very similar to canada we are called winners. you know with this optional hockey i think curling could probably take over as one of the big winner sports here if if we can raise the profile get more people interested the more you can take early night to the masses for people to see it because there's a lot of people that haven't seen curl and don't know how. we can take it to venue for a in the public eye the subjugators will mark the first time russia's men have competed at the olympics after making rapid progress over the past few years and finishing ten to twelve teams at last year's world championships it may be too soon for bend

to think about winning a medal before women who shoot things it's a different story when we played in the. the olympics in two thousand and six russia didn't even have a team in there and and they had a national team but they were weren't very good and and to be honest in the last eight years they've really improved and i guess there's been some more money and some more interest go in with the olympic spirit sochi this year and and they've gotten much better and like i said the women's side the women's. the russian women's team they could win the gold medal very easily the women's team a coached by former swiss european champion thomas lips the forty three year old steve the russians to their own european glory in two thousand and twelve but they finished a disappointing six from the last war championships however a team performance of a lifetime could ensure they reach the podium and achieve more in a few days and test of ends can achieve in many years is helping to make earning a national sport in russia. which of involved me to r.t.

moscow and i was over part one but don't go away as we hear if this teenage skater who won the russian national title will be among those representing the country in its function don't go away. i've always had mixed feelings about speed traps it seems like it's a waste of the police officers time but on the other hand they sure do make people paranoid and drive more slowly one man from texas is completely sure of his opinion about speed traps and he set out to save his felt texans from being fined for speeding and much more importantly from potential traffic accidents caused by the hidden police and now he's the one who is in deep trouble according to fox news runner martin faces a misdemeanor charge for violating frisco texas sign ordinance that says that you

may only stand around holding a sign on private property martin claims that he was doing the exact same thing as a speed limit sign reminding people to slow down and i think ultimately he is right you should be able to tell other people where the police are setting up speed traps because that will cause them to drive more slowly which is the real goal of speed traps in the first place the only reason local authorities would be against this is because they love the income that comes from a nice big pile of speeding tickets i hope that mr martin finds a way to go right back to holding his sign but this time on private property precious my opinion. how do you operate dylan but i'm going to the most good sports such. as ruth. and i live the poppy. on. my. wealthy british sign it's time to

martinez dooku assailed a fifth consecutive world cup skeleton title with his six victory of the eight rounds season four must of course finished second to his younger brother for the fourth time this campaign so martins was top of the final welcomed standing head of hamas with american matthew antoine in it. and watching those athletes in sochi will be the world's media will be reporting from the newly opened bookies then into the venue where is the mountain base for the press at the games it covers thirty thousand square meters and is set to receive around four thousand t.v. and radio broadcasters as well as five hundred print journalists the main media center is located by the coastal and big bang. and so in less than two weeks such a will be the epicenter of the winter sports world yet many people outside the country might struggle to find the city on a map so which of them poor feet put together this founds i view of what to expect

when the games get underway this will be a regular side for the people of soncino over the next month as fountains of athletes spectators and journalists descend on the black sea resorts but you are porto mentally is quick to hand over large influx of visitors while the high speed training takes some passengers to the main rail hub but i've learned from there they'll have the option of going to saatchi's city center the mountain plastered across napoleon or or to be limping park. billing can accommodate eight and a half hours and pass just an hour and will prove invaluable during the games especially for fans of skiing take them on the fifty kilometer trip from sochi to the snowy peaks across may of pollyanna also the mountain home of rosa horta which will host the alpine and sliding events among stabbers has been billed specially from scratch for the sorts of games our house some of the best facilities that you'll find anywhere in the world. there are plenty of hotel rooms bred for the

the vancouver games where the arenas are spread out for the city and seoul chivo will be in one central cluster the distances could be covered on forwards but getting around is much quicker by bus so that your word that is your thoughts that there will be nine hundred sixty three buses in operation around sochi during the olympics will be centered around three bus stations which have been constructed specially for the games and around two and a half thousand drivers have also been hired while the organizers have a final touches the venue has no plans of ready experience for a number of high profile events such as the russian leg of the euro toys hockey i'm a national figure skating championships the stadiums have been builds a transport links are in place have ensor been held over the last year or so to make sure everything runs like clockwork well in around a month's time was all eyes will be on someone she as a city gets ready to host the biggest everest sporting event of the country has ever hosted which above all three darty sochi. now into ice hockey where champions

russian women's ice hockey team is continuing to emerge from the shadows of their illustrious male counterparts after finishing a surprise third at last april's world championships by beating finland two zero in canada to clinch their second bronze medal in the tournament's history and with less than a fortnight to go until the olympics confidence remains high in the team camp we really hope they can get a good result but everyone knows how good two thousand and thirteen was for the team how much was done for women's hockey and would have to thank them in history of support for that you thanks for their first bronze medal in twelve years the girls have now tested to be experienced and are in a very good mood from. russia behind five time when is the usa and hosts canada on the podium with the north american leagues representing the pinnacle of the women's game none of the twenty one russians will be going to such a play outside their native country though among the eleven forwards seven defenders and three goalkeepers there's a new wave of youngsters the captain caught up in

a small insofar remains coarsely optimistic as she prepares for her fourth winter games i wouldn't say these team is stronger than previous ones that would be three or to those teams i think every national team has to be strong and i kept in has to believe in he's on her team i don't think in the many new goals that came in last year and they've given us extra dimensions to work with so we'll see and while the women's team doesn't seem to have any individual superstars like the men's team does and alexander ovechkin or you can they did bring in a veteran player because they're in a passion give each who tend forty to last december in order to help the girls out when you get a little old a little wiser you know you start to see things differently you know i see those girls some of them i see you know what they do and how they train so much i see myself and their age even are just trying to share with them what i would have done better how it could make me better at their age if you know i would have done things differently for him. or you can just buy this you know and then i understand

their mind because there were two former forward went to boston in one thousand nine hundred one after the fall of the soviet union and later coach the women's team at the massachusetts institute of technology a wealth of experience of playing for a national team as well as in north america is coupled with the recent injection of youth into the current squad where half of the players are under twenty five all bringing their talents together and what they hope is a winning formula. i think it's a good thing to have such a diverse squad because you're interacting with girls of all ages some of the girls you could even call mother so to speak with and having that maternal approach certainly helps also being able to guide the younger girls when something isn't right or just for additional support i think it's the right approach it's unusual but it's good that the next weekend the team will have to sort well they'll have three training matches based on the same timeframe as the group b. games which starts against germany on sunday the ninth of february. michael jenkins

there were some of the money and see what he has turned them into cut off in december and the first rounds are played an unexpectedly warm weather and this is probably the cold this conditions you faced on the way to the decider and that's fair enough that's how we'll find out the winner such conditions certainly provided a real test of the team's passion and determination to win especially for the goalkeepers though european on the seventeen champions. knows that gold is no reason for not even year old would like to make it all but i used to play a lot in similar conditions so of course the keeper has to put on more clothes than the outfield players to get or really enjoyed that when you winter in the yard. yet it seemed the harder the conditions the better the competition as the teams battled to overcome the elements as much as each other and after defeating all
