OS Beijing 2008 Paralympics Olympics Pekin

for the 1st time in ROC history, the motorsport event will be hosted in an Asian country; the Beijing ROC 2009 will take part on the 4th of November 2009, with the participation of 18 racing drivers, considered as the best racers in the world, despite the absence of Sebastien Loeb, the 6-time WRC champion.

The Race of Champions is a yearly racing and motorsport event that puts together all the best rally drivers along with the best racing drivers from various championships (WTCC, DTM, F1, NASCAR, GTA, WRC S2000, MotoGP and many more…). The world’s best racers are divided based on nations where duels are hosted on the same track in order to answer the following topic: Who is the best driver in the world?

The concept of the ROC (Race Of Champions) counts on the usage of similar racing equipment where motorsports drivers should compete in a head-to-head; the racing procedure will occur on a parallel track for the purpose of proving the best racing skills and determining the best racing driver in the world. The start line puts both contenders on the same level, with the same racing cars and would be urged to race on exactly the identical track before finishing side-by-side. The identical Cars are exchanged throughout heats so racing drivers would have the opportunity to prove the racing skills in various types of cars before claiming the win.

The ROC 2009 is one of the most awaited events of the racing season for it marks the funniest way to end the professional motorsport season; for instance, racing in the ROC will not be hosted for marketing and sponsoring purposes whereas driving is done for the glory and for the major award of “The Best Racer in the World”. Thousands of crowds gather every year and rush to get the ROC tickets; the event is full of action especially due to the parallel tracks that are crossed in the midst of every heat which allows the results to be really narrow between racing drivers. Moreover, racing fans have the opportunity to watch the greatest drivers driving against each others in a stadium atmosphere, pointing at the marvelous sounds of racing engines and wheels screeching.

Many sports statistics are pointing at the massive growth and expansion of the hockey game; despite being centered between the USA and Canada under the NHL management, hockey is also a popular sport in countries such as Russia, Ukraine, Norway, Austria etc…

Betting on hockey has also expanded, just like betting on other sports of major importance (NFL, NBA, MLB, soccer) and is considered to be one of the most demanding betting procedures, for it requires an excellent knowledge in hockey players potential, hockey team’s rankings and mostly, history of hockey teams.

Professional sports betting online sites are rare; nonetheless, I always prefer to refer to the best gambling books.

Hockey ice is reducing the gap in comparison with other games, especially with NBA; some sports news and ice hockey experts have pointed at the close gap in the number of fans and bettors.

Medals Afghanistan

Unwilling to go home empty handed, USA stroke again, this time leaving a South American sufferer: Argentina.

Argentina is gold medalist of Athens 2004 Olympics beating USA in final game

At the final whistle, it was 101-81. If you are a math fan, Tango boys will definitely be the toughest rival.

No one has preserved a winning average of 20 points, and it is considered a victory after diminishing the score average of the eagles that was 30.4 points.

Disaster stroke in the 1^st quarter as Manu Ginobili suffered again from his left pre-injured ankle. The Argentineans rapidly found a new leader: Andres Nocioni!

Nocioni who started on the seats, was also distressed from a knee injury but was pulled in for the rescue! At half time, Tango was only trailing by 9 points despite the wounds in its line up and the fact that they scored 10 points more than the Dream team in 2^nd quarter. Luis Scola was the absolute man of the game, leading the score sheet with 28 points and 11 rebounds.

USA’s key to success was in defense by out-rebounding the Southern team 43-32 and in successful offense jumping over the 100 points. Carmelo Anthony scored 20 points leading the US team while Lebron James hit 15 dots.

NBA basketball jerseys will reface Spain in the final match, the winner takes it all. There’s no room for 2^nd place in American Philosophy and that has been clear since the arrival to Beijing. As for the Spaniards, it is pay back time and a chance to take the smiles off the faces of Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Dwayne wade and the rest of the chain; that’s an uncertain bet placed by the Toreros and a pledge to their fans and nation, however, sports betting sites are recording some approvals on the Spanish adventure that’s counting on a bombshell in face of the Dream team 5!!

Italy’s Clemente Russo faced Deontay Wilder (USA) in the semi-final and managed to get away with a 7-1 triumph.

In the other semi-final game, Rakhim Chakhkiev who seems to be unstoppable in Beijing’s games qualified to the last game after smashing Cuban Osmai Duarte 10-5.

20^th of August:

China Vs Lithuania

Argentina Vs Greece

USA Vs Australia

Croatia Vs Spain

“Organizers of the October 15 U.N.-backed “Blog Action Day” said about 15,800 sites had signed up and were offering ideas to millions of people via blogs, or online diaries, ranging from planting more trees to how to recycle plastics.

“Our aim is to get everyone talking towards a better future,” according to www.blogactionday.com.

The blogs are a new sign of concern about the environment, reflected in everything from a UN summit about climate change last month to the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to former US Vice President Al Gore and the UN climate panel on Friday.”
