VLADIMIR Putin and his Red Army should brace themselves - rampaging Roy Slaven and his comedy partner-in-crime HG Nelson are set to fire up their comedy blow torch and turn it on the Sochi Olympics.

Reuniting for more fun and Games, the Australian comedy duo will take a hi-tech approach to their famously satirical sporting commentary by presenting The Ice Stream, a 30-minute show for Samsung Stadium's Sochi app and Channel 10's digital platform, Tenplay.

The former Triple J radio pairing have already started preparing material for `Roy and HG's Russian Revolution' which will be broadcast as part of the network's daily prime-time program, Sochi Live.

Nelson, aka Greig Pickhaver, will also join the network's Sochi Tonight panel of Stephen Quartermain and Alisa Camplin, sharing his comedy insights on events each night.

While Putin's controversial stance against homosexuality has already made him the butt of late night talk show hosts the world over, Pickhaver said they would "avoid the `lowest hanging of fruit,,' if I can put it that way.'"

"If you're asking whether we will be screening the Red Army choir singing a version of Sex Bomb, yes probably we'll put that in," Pickhaver added.

From the comedy team which introduced Sydney Games fans to the unexpected and hilarious delights of Greco-Roman wrestling, new sports in the crosshairs for the Roy and HG treatment will include Slopestyle, where skiers are judged for their grace while getting 'big air'.

Pickhaver said: "I think it's the first time in and I know Roy showed (the IOC) some footage of what he'd done, on a handycam, and the Olympic powers that be were very impressed and decided to take it on board."

Learning from their last appearance at the Salt Lake City Games, Pickhaver shared one of Nelson's key survival tips in the icy conditions.

"Don't wash your hair before you go outside...that's a real trap for the younger players. Don't dry it completely and you go outside, the water in your hair just freezes and it's just weird. Unless you're after that rigid hair look, which I like personally. It's something I'll be looking for on the slopes...`have a look at this bloke's magnificent hair!'"

With Australia poised to post its best result in Winter Games history, Pickhaver for one is backing more gold for the green and gold team.

"I know we're going to beat New Zealand, but hopefully we can get up to clocking the heady heights of Norway. If we can snot Norway, we'll be doing incredibly well and I'm not ruling it out."

Roy and HG's Russian Revolution will air from February 8, while The Ice Stream app is free to download today for compatible Android devices, iOS phones and tablets.
