assad venia on the thirteenth for russia obviously very high powered in a tank with the lines of malkin does sort cand of age but there are some weaknesses in defense and bats something of a legendary ice hockey goaltender but it's certainly agreed with. you what. are 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 every single game like in the final we definitely have some problems with the fans but we're counting on our n.h.l. stars who have experience playing on the bigger ice rink to them often says definitely more of our strength go. for russia's women also got off to the best possible start been germany by force one the channel that much for quite a long time but came back very strong in the fourth period with four amounts of goals to get their campaign off to verse possible starts in what again and what games it has been so far. eighty seven nations two thousand one hundred athletes competing in fifteen disciplines and going for a record ninety eight gold medals these are the bigges

alexander of each game and you get a malkin to send the game into a shootout which means russia war and she finished fifth and won't get a bye in city quarter finals which is a setback but on the other hand it will give them extra game time on the ice deal of a head coach he has installed a very defensive system to the russians and it's really needing time following some of each kind of malkin and their top players to buy into his system he was caught up with the goal of the all of two time olympic gold medalist in sunny of r. and four years later in calgary and he just says russians need to show more fights on the ice. doesn't matter where you start are you going to be so. i hope this case . where you go to the game the next level. is here for friends to be locals. or because he has the charisma of the russian character. but of course it was an action on the short track as well where russia really have been exceeded all expectations but only won one medal or previously before the games it was way back in one thousand nine hundred two c.i.a.'s but with the import of big town who change

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

of favorites with the bookmakers and have a very high powered attack with the likes of you getting malkin under of age can watch incidentally flew in today the n.h.l. stars finishing up in the north america so coming over to the lympics shell stars arrived just a couple of days ago but certainly russia have a very very high powered all feigns birdhouse main worry is even defend some at something the legendary goaltender of. free time olympic champion also agreed with . you would venture that in this 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 in the 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 though. well also a great resolve for russia's a women's hockey players say we're in action against germany in their first group game we're trailing one to nothing for a long time but responded really well in the first period spies

united states unified team in one thousand nine hundred to let the top of that so you have going to malkin and alexander ovechkin what a way to end the games would be russia could take gold in the final event well certainly the good old hopes going for them i know the last word didn't go that well for russia so we've got the biggest team now at ages and let's just see how they do james you know there's a lot of sun here actually nick surely picked george and i was going to you know i'm going to so what we want to talk about was the live. volunteers there absolutely were there thousands of volunteers are james are we could not we can speak to lower elizabeth gilbert let's you. and i have a chat with lois elizabeth gilbert joining us live for an artsy international lois hello it's a rory sushi here in moscow thank you so much for joining us is so quickly how were you selected for this what must be a once in a lifetime opportunity the role of a volunteer at the twenty fourteenth or to winterland i was selected by. i can't hear anything actually there's nothing going. to lower some story it's
