older graf in the three hundred meter meters speed skating she set up p.b. and to be honest it really was an unexpected medal and a great performance by a russian who really defied the odds to get on the podium finishing behind it in voice no problem of our vote because it was really as one of the world's best competitors in the speed skating arena. well let's stay on the ice then richard because the final event at the olympics is the gold medal match in the ice hockey russia haven't won the gold medal as russia the last call was a nine hundred ninety two with the unified team what are the chances of gold on home ice. what i think of you did a straw poll of russians. anywhere in the country really which medal means were most pretty are pretty sure about ninety five percent would say we want to win hockey gold and to be honest i mean russia their favorites were the bookmakers birds i have my own reservations about the russian side yes we're one of the

they're certainly going to be there or very about sports they have an incredibly strong attack where the likes of you getting mark in politics or colleagues under of age where you don't really need say more than one of course for leading skoal scorer in the n.h.l. of the moments really a lot of talent on the first two lines but the problem i think will be in defense and very ice hockey goaltender and three time olympic champion. treaty agcy certainly agreed but russia could have a few problems on defense during these olympics. he would no longer venture the biggest task for the coaching staff right now is getting the line sorted out the head coach also has to make sure that the players are focused and approach every single game like it's a final we definitely have some problems with our defense but we're counting on our n.h.l. stars who have experience playing on the bigger ice rinks often says definitely more of our strength know. so well russia

where the n.h.l. stars actually flew in. this morning alexander of each given you any given malkin were among the cage hell players arrived from their training camp in just a few gay days ago so russia's team with their head coach senior to lobelia dean of can start in earnest trying to prepare for their opening match on the thirteenth against slovenia and that's all building up really what i want to highlight some of the games repeats of a miracle on ice nine hundred eighty where russia face off against the united states of america on the fifteenth of february also good news for russia's win in a started bear icehockey campaign. great great style there managed by village three n.h.l. six a yashin and they dropped a goal down to germany became banks when four goals to one and they're certainly in with a medal chance of saving gold and silver is going to be decided by canada and united states who really are

a long way ahead of everyone else but certainly the battle for bronze is wide open and russia could certainly have an impact on trying to decide who gets five fine or podium spots so great games so far for russia as very low to try and make these home lympics the best yet. eighty seven nations two thousand one hundred athletes competing in fifteen disciplines and going for a record ninety eight gold medals these are the biggest winter olympics so far in the world's biggest country the laws changed in the past seven years and so on she was awarded the right to host the games with jane using new to structure being built from scratch and these have received some rave reviews from the athletes who think it's more you know the village and everything it's closer to. the ice cream kids close to olympic village so we can go buy a warlock and there is not a big security so we feel we feel free and we feel confident one

a minor wrist injury in practice and saying the course was intimidating after the norwegian medal hope thorsten whoredom gore broke his collarbone however great britain's billy morgan finished ten for all and didn't agree with the snowboarding legends they had problems with with the machinery on the slope which is a common thing if it's too warm you can't get the machines on the slopes but the next day it was cold enough and they got the machines out and it was it was super smooth the problem was they couldn't smooth out properly but it was all gone the next day so we were turned up you know it was a bit scary but it was all fake so it's been brilliant ever since well no way canada in the usa are likely to dominate the medal table seven nations are taking part of the first time such as the island nations of domini korean tongue. and there are also a few unlikely athletes former violin prodigy vanessa mays globally renowned for her music however virtue five year old is also a keen skier since the age of four and will now achieve her dream to compete at the

a quick look at the medal table sees no way at the top with seven overall two of them gold the dutch and americans have also won to events while russia joint fourth with canada with four gongs and not one gold one in team figure skating. and that's all from an action packed pot while at state chains of poncy where we'll have ice hockey and the rest of the news from the well the sport go away. that is for example either the good intelligence unit attached to you keoki doping in london. whole range of different opportunities to gauge information they get from the media they have pushed. people can forward and give them information to give information across borders is actually quite complicated

a lot better than three i want and we knew that going to get him so never stuck together battled through and they motivated in the tournament's final game russia took on finland with both sides knowing victory would secure a second place overall i despite that the first period was pretty subdued. but russia broke the deadlock in the second and the game came alive the finns responded immediately to turn the game back on a knife edge russia then retook the lead but again let their opponents back in with some sloppy defending and midway through the third period the hosts were further punished by finland school to move quick goals. russian must of the many come back later on pulling a goal back to full three but the finns hung on to claim second place ahead of the hosts. said that it is to settle for of course all our opponents during the tournaments were good so third place is also a result i want to congratulate the us because they really were stronger also

congress to the finns for taking second place we lost to them in a fair fight and mistakes were made but the tournaments was great thanks to the organizers and fans who came. well there is no doubt that these five nations do have a bright future however it was the us that led the way with a convincing overall display and maintaining a want to present a record before the team's potentially meet up again at the worlds there is a small matter all for the adult counterparts facing off. at the sochi ice hockey competition which commences on the twelfth of february and all five nations will be hoping for a big lorry like of the janko moscow region. let's move on to football now and in germany by a manic finally tried to now at a stubborn nurnberg to maintain a certain point lead at the top of the bundesliga against the run of play a lover's cross found mario monti to catch the open in the eighteenth minute the visitors then twice hit the woodwork before making it to nil four minutes after the
