>> it's a great example. shaunte one of the best snowboarders, multiple gold olympian, when he talks about when he -- this recent olympics, when he came in fourth, he talks about the -- he and his teammates talk about the pressure of the situation, the fact that they felt so uncomfortable they were in a different time zone, their schedules were thrown off, they were thinking about being in the olympics, and then, of course, the gold medalist ipod whose name i can't pronounce, russian by birth, speaks russian, in sochi and talks about what it felt like to compete in this olympics where he won a gold unexpectedly and he said it felt very natural, it felt like i wasn't even working at it. i was speaking my mother language. i felt like i do whenever i go out to snowboard on my own. >> so what -- the most interesting thing here is you're saying you can train your mind just like you train your body. if somebody will listen and say i want to be a better athlete and there's only so much i can do with the body at this point

next one i've got is somebody who was disappointed definitely he would be celebrating it is a chap called shaun white he's an american he's a snowboarder teammates from a bit tricky to get on with what they did he did one quite a lot. in the ninety percent he was hotly tipped to get gold in the halfpipe he's called the flying tomato because it is ginger locks butt. he went splat on his first run and didn't even make the podium and then afterwards he did make some very particularly nice comments about the actual halfpipe itself and the conditions so he was moaning and he didn't make the movies alone to do that well yes but the good news is he's got billions billions millions of fans around the world and has mentioned in an interview that he would like to come back and try and regain his olympic crown at the next winter olympics in four years' time so hopefully we'll see men talking of of millions of fans around the world mr pollution of course has billions of fans around the world but real shock move for them yes definitely it started so well didn't it he he was brilliant in the team event helpe
