russia's ice hockey team aka the red machine what a latest on that you know. yes some of the biggest sporting stars in the world have been on the show throughout the course of tuesday russia's ice hockey team attending a press 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 wit

against stunning backdrops gripping stories of heartbreak in joy emerged on a daily basis russia's red machine taking seconds to light up a nation's heart then deflating it days later with a quarter final exit. russian figure skaters left the world with a veteran and a youngster helping them grab the seventeen gold but hopes of move glory buckled under a bad back in media hype heaped on tiny shoulders the need for another star to sparkle and shine and take her country in fans to new a limp a kite the ups and downs came thick and fast. and so did new russians an american who married a siberian sped to snowboarding gold for the hosts while a south korean slipped to glory in short track repaying the faith for this new adoptive country. these just some of the amazing hollywood like stories such as produced to keep millions chained in world wide and should be remembered long after the olympic flame finally goes over the black sea. and. well let's now talk to those who helped boost russia's success here in sochi gold medal figure skaters i should say double olympic champions next in time called and

it was a bitter pill to swallow for many russians to watch the so-called red machine stall and lose in the men's hockey to finland but there's hope yet for the home audience the ladies certainly figure skating is on the way and. on russia's chances the. vote so what are the chances of a podium spot then for the. yes where there are high hopes for a medal if not two in the women's individual figure skating which is just concluding in the ice skating palace now there was a lot of pressure on the young shoulders of you guys she of course put in a full list display in the team event to help russia win gold and after that performance a lot of people were tipping her for gold in the women's individual but now she has just concluded free program there was another stumble she stumbled in the short program yesterday and stumbled and fell to the ice again this evening however it hasn't stopped her shooting to the top of the overall standings she is very much in with a shout of a medal however there are still five skaters to go so it might be tough for her to hold on to a place in the top three i

managed to put four goals past norway who could offer nothing in response so it's more about how the red machine made it to the quarterfinals as coach up with paul scott now. russia have booked that place in the quarterfinals of the men's ice hockey competition with what on paper looks like a comfortable four nil victory over norway but they weren't made to what freights goals from alexander a jewel of an india cavell chip put them on their way in the second period it put them two nil up but in their attempts to salvage something from the match in the final moments of the final period norway actually swapped that goaltender for a six outfield player and left them vulnerable at the back which will then grab his second of the match before the scoring was completed by alexey teta shang now the four nil victory sets up a quarterfinal tie tomorrow in the bolshoi lifetime against finland all eyes will be on this one but it won't be an easy game because finland bronze medalist in vancouver four years a guy elsewhere today russia have added a silver medal to that tally nicholai a loon in securing the si

heading into the winter olympic quarter finals after claiming a crucial win over norway or the red machine that's facing a stern test against finland later today drew farmer as the school. finland to second in the world rankings one place ahead of russia and in my opinion i think russia will have to improve on their performance that they. showed against norway yesterday i know they won that for nothing but they were only two up with sixty seven seconds left and they did seem to struggle to break down that norwegian side and even the defense defenseman for russia under markoff said as much after the match but the russian fans we spoke to aren't so you can say we're hoping for a big win even if we don't get a high score and we still expect a victory the team is doing a great job i support it no matter what it will be a tough match but russia will win go to russia that much starting at four thirty local time at the bolshoi ice time now appear russia's hopes on the slopes lie with a very special married couple snowboarders lena's the vic wild will compete in the women's and men's parallel gian

first period although russia did take the lead in that match is going to be a stern text for the red machine against the bronze medalist from vancouver four years ago of course russian our defeat would eliminate them from the competition so we really are on the business end of the men's ice hockey competition. and pole what how do the fonz have to watch out for tonight. well one of the stars of the game so far has been a fifteen year old nice guy she put in a fruitless performance to help russia win team gold in the figure skating competition and tonight she starts her program in the campaign in the women's individual event. later on this evening and she says that she's a lot calmer going into tonight's performance than she was before the team event. here in cuba as well sure i was very nervous and scared but the head of my singles event i'm more calm to be honest i've got used to it and singles is a completely different event. well also competing for russia is adelina sotnikova who's only actually a couple of years older than leap nice guy and she says she's trying to put the size of the oc
