Practice in writing #1

So, I've started to try and improve my writing skills.
I know a lot of grammar rules in English, but when I start to write something on my own, I feel so unconfident..but, sooner or later, I need to do it. 
I hope anyone can help me correct my mistakes. 
In the morning I have been trying to rewrite news reports and this is what I‘ve made:
"The article has told us about specific thoughts of Russian people: they are interested more in victories of Russian sportsmen than simply watching the competition".
What is incorrect?
