brand - of our country, because we have our own school, yes, which is known all over the world, with its athletessamsonov, connected primarily, of course, with victoria and pavlovich and veronica, which is why we decided to hold this event in this place, of course such events are very important for us, because our sport is not... these are adults, yes, they are professional, but anyway, this is men's football, all the guys who are experienced here, have played, they still have a thirst for football. watch the report on the debut of the belarusians in the media league in the latest issue of the sports frame project right now on youtube belarus 5. inter became the champion of italy for the twentieth time in history. at thirty-three round of serie a, simone inzaghi's squad was stronger than its closest pursuer milan. the final numbers on the scoreboard are 2:1 for the winners, with goals scored by francesc ocerbi and marcus thuram. thus, in the table these rivals are now separated by 17 points, five rounds before the end of the championship, inter became unattainable for their opponents, and the bla

the international olympic committee athletes commission, representing all the olympic athletes of the world clearly opposes using athletes for political propaganda. the commission even sees the risk of athletes being forced by their governments into participating in such a fully politicized sports event, thereby being exploited as part of a political propaganda campaign. supposed call them is alan moore says that despite the principle the sports should be a political the, to a difficult to separate the politics for, sorry, there's nobody between them. we all know the politicians move to s all the proceeds from a waiting or waiting team. so it goes both ways, so i think it's just the latest, this stuff, you know, politicians will make a statement using sports to make a statement to sports as well. so i think it's just, it's just the latest thing. this whole issue in france is for corruption investigation in tennessee mer, wants to try to start this fall and start the people from the defense. and so they see clearly as, as we move in, in the very bottom deliveries is a huge money making machi

world athletics will pay its 48 gold medallists around 40,000 pounds., who's called the decision �*divisive'... you have all of the info the great thing about the olympic committee is to have all of these committees coming together in the way that we should handle these opportunities in debates is in a communicative way. yesterday we were so rented also are swimmers going to paris and they are talking about this and has put pressure on the world swimming, the world swimming federation. i don't think that is the way we should do it in this world and i think that is inappropriate. tom dean made headlines with two gold medal—winning performances at tokyo 2020 — it was his parent's overnight garden party which arguably gained even more attention. the swimmer will be back seeking further success at paris this summer and bbc breakfast�*sjohn watson has been to meet him — and his famous family. so this is where he had the watch party where everyone was watching. yeah. because it was the swimming club, the neighbours and it was three in the morning. i club, the

we have athletes to win more royal titles and rich history i we have athletes to win world titles andg gold in rio 2016 in current world champion in two events. i feel the pressure, yes and no, it's what surpasses the external factors for the people and very hard for this event and, that puts the pressure on me. in 2016, did your life change? it did, absolutely. in so many ways. but i think, it came too easy in some ways and so young and it happened and since then, things have really rounded me as a person. mallory franklin spent years campaigning for women to race the c1 event and won silver into the tokyo. silver in it in tokyo. at the grave really had that quality in terms of a lot of people said they are performances and in all these things and really is a class, we really driven that on ensuring that we are good enough. and that is a fabulous performance. - how realistic would it be for a gold medal in paris? it is not super far—fetched. being the world champion leading in meddled it every worlds between the two and i think that is a really positive show of performance, i think.

national hockey league, and you are a sports legend, your voice in this world, it is important, do you think, should the athletes of the russian federation perform, for example, at the olympics that will be held in france this summer and at other sports competitions? i am very sorry that the western world allows russian athletes to participate. in sports competitions, including the olympics, i do not support this decision, although not all athletes participate in competitions, but allow participation in sports competitions for many of them. from the very beginning full-scale russian invasion of ukraine, russian sports and russian athletes serve as propaganda for russian war. that we, the western world, allow participation in world competitions for representatives from russia, is actually a form of supporting their war and helping to spread the relevant narratives internationally. this war is causing a great loss of life, and i will remain steadfast in my determination and will continue my fight to completely ban russian athletes from all competitions. every time they come out during the summer, during the compet
