russia captain pavel datsyuk led by example he gave the home side the lead midway through the second period a great moment for him he of course plays his hole in the n.h.l. but goals from. and then. put the usa to one up before it was on hand again to level matches at two two with five minutes to go russia thought they'd done enough to win the match but what would have been the winning goal was cancelled out in the final few moments because the net had come away from its moorings it was a controversial moment with even the u.s. coach admitting afterwards that he was surprised that the goal didn't stand now it was a physical robust but only contest between two fierce rivals the game eventually went into overtime but still nothing separated the two sides and eventually the usa prevailed in a long rocking ten round shootout and these u.s. hockey stars. have been expecting a tough challenge as crazy as the back and forth game it seemed they paid score we score and we score they scored. so it was it was a good game as a hard fought battle bible teams. it seemed like from the very beginnin

about what's ahead in sorting out for today well there were concerns over whether russian captain pavel the two should take part having suffered a lower body injury but he managed to play a starring role in a match with no signs of discomfort ice hockey legend pavel bore a also nicknamed the russian rocket for his speed when he played in the n.h.l. told us the olympics have lived up to all expectations. but you have a k chills the arrival of caesar and all the best players in the world come here and play for the conference started so close you know i would. extend the same thing go world cup and the south korean office want to win it you know brazil's play me but with friends see it some way to good teams that's why everybody watching it enjoy it. while the spite of the setback in the hockey russia has seems a major breakthrough as it's now in third place in the medal stable having bad gold in skeleton and both gold and silver in the short track speed skating and there's plenty more hockey drama on the way with russia due to meet slovakia administration chiefs are given off has been che

pavel, thank you for joining us on the show. the russia of today different from the soviet union of yesterday. how does the country now view that withdrawal 25 years ago. well, most of the russian public most likely does not remember or tries not to remember this day. it does not see something by most russians, not a day that we should be proud about. this is a very important date for the veterans of that war, and there are many present in russia. but more or less the public ignores that war, and what happened afterwards. >> now, there are some parallels between what happened 25 years ago and today. after the soviet forces withdrew, afghanistan fell into chaos this year. we are about to see u.s. forces stand down. the security situation unstable in afghanistan. are we about to see the country fall back into the same chaos we saw 25 years ago. that's what many or most observers here in moscow and specialists believe might happen. there's a fear that, yes, afghanistan will again form into chaos, it may fall into the hands of radic

course there's fierce personal pride at stake as well a number of the russian players including captain pavel datsyuk and star alex ovechkin actually play in the n.h.l. in america so they know their opponents very very well on these american stars that r.t. caught up to admit they are expecting a tough challenge. you know how tough that game is going to be against russia. on their home turf and on their own soil so it's going to be. i think all the games will be fun but their game saturday night will be pretty interesting so it's fun playing the russians and probably the one thing. we had the opportunity to play canada in canada and i think that's always a special thing for so much excitement and energy in the building and we were lucky enough to do it in canada now we get a chance to play russian russia which i think is always special ok also we heard from the athletes what about the fads are they ready for this faceoff. yeah well i can only imagine what the atmosphere is like in the olympic park behind me as tens of thousands of fans descend on to the olympic park now twelve thousand lucky

attended a press conference ahead of their first match against slovenia in two days' time not captain pavel datsyuk but he did attend the press conference he is a here in sochi despite fitness concerns he missed all of his side's n.h.l. matches throughout january with injury and the n.h.l. is actually on a mid-season break right now so the n.h.l. players can come and compete in the winter olympics but it might be the final time that they allow that to happen is currently up in the air and currently up for discussion but it does seem that despite the fact there is going to be increased pressure on the russian team playing on home ice and in front of an expectant home crowd it does seem that spirits are high inside a jovial russian camp. who you want to hear for just. can't see in of course. i think because we're playing at home we'll have a lot more brotherly support the entire country will be cheering force we will be united. i agree with our captain and he deserves his title he is very experienced respected by the entire hockey community and beyond so with a captain like that we can aim fo

overtime after a two two draw russia actually took the lead midway through the second period the captain pavel datsyuk leading by example and open the scoring he actually plays his hockey in america in the n.h.l. so it was a sweet moment for him but then goals from cam fowler and joy prevailed for the united states to one up before that man again that suit leveled two to russia actually thought they'd done enough to win the game but it go right to the end of the final period was controversially disallowed by the officials so was two two we've just gone into overtime and there's real drama in the bolshoi ice time it's a physical contest and russia are having a much tougher challenge they did in their opening much that five two victory against slovenia of course these two sides russia and the usa there's a lot of history between them and they are amongst the favorites for gold in sochi these twenty fourteen winter olympics alongside canada and sweden but it's two two at the moment heading in to overtime we'll keep you abreast of what happens there and any latest developments elsewhere today i ca

bolshoi ice time russia actually took the all importantly midway through the second period captain pavel datsyuk leading by example he opened the scoring a sweet moment for him he actually plays in the n.h.l. in america however not long afterwards the usa levelled things with a calm foul and making it one one now it is a physical contest perhaps no surprise there and russia having a much tougher run out and they did in their first match day five two victory against slovenia of course both sides have a point to prove in many respects russia have not claimed gold in winter olympics ice hockey since the fall of the soviet union when of course are they used to be so dominant however russian play is part of the unified team that secured gold in one thousand nine hundred ninety two as for the usa they haven't won gold in winter olympics ice hockey since one thousand nine hundred eighty when they got a famous and surprising victory over the soviet union now the two sides are amongst the favorites to win gold here in sochi alongside canada and sweden but it is one one of the moment perfectly poi

conference ahead of their first match against lavinia in two days' time it was attended by the captain pavel datsyuk now he missed all of his side's matches in the n.h.l. in january through injury so there were serious concerns over his health and fitness coming into these games but he is here and he is fighting fit which is good news for russian fans and despite the pressure of playing in front of an expectant home crowd it seemed as if spirits were high inside a rather jovial russian cow. looked on the trail who do you want to hear first. the captain of course. i think because we're playing at home we'll have a lot more brotherly support the entire country will be cheering force we will be united in that. i agree with our captain and he deserves his title he is very experienced respected by the entire hockey community and beyond so with a captain like that we can aim for the top as for our team where a very friendly bunch there's a great atmosphere among us the team and the coaches are on the same wavelength and that's the most important thing everything is in our hands now. thank you but

the competition they are among the favorites along with sweden and canada will form a russia star pavel bure a who had a long and enjoyable and successful career in the n.h.l. says that this could be one of the most open competitions in years but she advocates chills about. all the best players in the world hero play for the conference so it's so close you know everything. that's been the same thing will come up with the soccer you know it was going to win it you know brazil's need to win friends see it some way to good teams that's why everybody watching them enjoy it. and we'll be talking to paul in just a moment but elsewhere at the games russia is gaining momentum it's now fourth in the medals count haven't jumped from seventh this time yesterday that's things to gold medals in the skeleton and the short track speed skating as well let's go back to paula now to find out where russia had its latest success so quite a turnaround for the hosts now right paul where that success comes from. russia. medals to that highly old ready today on sunday they got a silver medal in the course cros

it was two two at the end of regulation time with nothing separating the two sides russia captain pavel datsyuk led by example he gave the home side the lead midway through the second period a great moment for him he of course plays his hockey in the n.h.l. but goals from come and then just put the usa to one up before that man was on hand again to level matches at two two with five minutes to go russia thought they'd done enough to win the game in the final moments but what would have been the winning goal was disallowed after the net came away from its moorings now it was a physical robust but only as contest between two and fierce rivals the game eventual went into overtime but still nothing separated the two sides and eventually the usa prevailed in a long nerve wracking ten round shootout russia are still likely to qualify for the next stage of the competition they now face slovakia in their final group game on sunday that's a match they now have to win and afterwards are to gauge the reaction of some of the fans who were fortunate enough to be inside the bolshoi. just doesn't know

two two the regulation time rusher actually took the lead midway through the second period captain pavel datsyuk leading by example to opening to open the scoring a sweet moment for him he plays his hockey in the n.h.l. but goals from cam fowler and joe pavelski put the usa to one up before the levelled at two two with five minutes to play now there was control over see russia thought they'd done enough to win the game in the final moments but it goes controversially disallowed by the officials. now the game then went into overtime nothing separated the two sides so went to that dramatic shootout and america eventually ran out winners in the most heartbreaking of fashions for russia russia all still likely to qualify for the next round they are likely to progress they now face slovakia in their final group game on sunday in a match they now have to win all right and what other events were going on today and how did the home team fare in those. well russia russian sports fans do have some things to cheer on saturday they've added two medals to that tally both of them came in short track s

alexander ovechkin and pavel and especially on last net mind he's really been a journeyman really playing is currently in the cage shell for. really unheralded but he have a problem again of his life as he solves thirty five shots to send amounts to a shootout for russia both goals from raul of a couple choke points but plenty of questions for the russians who now go into qualifying round to try and make the quarterfinals one of the top four nations by fruit of the quarters so russia and i play norway russia finishing fifth norway the bottom side and in a way i think we could have probably actually helped the russians lacking a bit of chemistry of the lines working perhaps as well as they have wanted to and also head coach seattle a billion very defensive style of hockey and so is trying to get the players to buy into his system in a way but more games on that have more was going to help his side going on into lead to games in this tournament of course but i suppose the main surprise so far of the sonship games has been the short track speed skating russia of it only won a medal one c. in

it i have no doubt about that and he added that if this deal is there we've got reaction too from pavel bure a internationally renowned ice hockey veteran who was noted his days the russian rocket when he played in the n.h.l. he told us the competition we're seeing right now is as good as it gets but shell ok charles i'd rather see all the best players in the world come here and play for a conference so paul said if i would. extend the same thing go world cup and the soccer you know was going to win it you know brazil's paid me but we're friends we have some way to good teams that's why everybody what you're going to enjoy. and so what else what you are going was my a very old colleague in this and now i she rushed back into the studio to give us her impressions of the contest between these two hockey power. it was an intense. match to watch all together partly rooting for russia because they are the underdogs and they haven't won for twenty years so so much controversy is kicked off tonight on social media indeed there was a goal which of course was counted as a goal by the refs on the
