OS Beijing 2008 Paralympics Olympics Pekin

The world champion Clemente Russo was beaten earlier today in the final game with Russia’s Rakhim. Final score 4-2, it was a game of tension and heavy weights for the fighters, yet superb for the crowds to enjoy. Sports betting sites were registering a considerable advantage for the Italian, but Rakhim turned around all the odds and earned the gold medal.

Chakhkiev, who knew that it was going to be a close game, was betting on this Olympic Games to revenge his lost game in AIBA championship by a single point! Gladly for him, his bid got thumbs up; he is the gold medalist of Beijing’s games.

Silver medalist in the world championship Somjit Jongjohor finally reached the golden dream by out-classing the Cuban Andy Laffita (Pan America champion and silver medalist in world championship 2005) by 8 points to 2.

Asian champion who bet on his speed, seemed like Cuba’s fighter was fighting a ghost, an illusion!

Thai boxer was in peak of the game while Andy was out of energy… and focus.

Somjit won the gold medal, Laffita took the silver reward while Georgy Balakshin(3^rd) and Vicenzo Picardi (4^th) took the bronze.

It took only a single goal, to earn gold. Lionel Messi and friends have been terrific along the tournament in Beijing, and their efforts just paid off. 1-0 the final score, with 5 minutes of additional time ended Nigeria’s hopes of another golden medal.

Argentina just earned its 4^th Olympic medal overall, of which 2 silver rewards and 2 golden medals in a row (2004’s Athens, 2008’s Beijing).

1^st half of the game included chances for both sides: Lionel Messi for the tango team was architecting many deliveries of the ball while Okoronkwo and obemwingie were leading Africa’s attacks. Although Argentina possessed the ball for the longest part of the half, Africans were clearly more dangerous, bidding on a first half opener and a calm break. Blue and White jerseys weren’t that easy, unwilling to compromise in the final game for gold, and opting to revenge their loss in Atlanta’s games.

As the 2^nd half got whistled on, South Americans looked a bit better with an excess of energy, maybe experience too while Africa’s hopes were not being at their performace’s peak.The advantage was rapidly clear on the score board, when Angel DE Maria gave the lead for the tango boys (58th minute ); he was served by Magical Lionel Messi who pulled the defense towards him, leaving a gap, from where he delivered the ball.

Despite the African attempts to find an equalizer, Nigeria was unable to find the back of the net and were always missing on scorers but that didn’t stop them from trying and creating lanes. Sergio Romero, Argentina’s goal keeper made a pretty nice job out there keeping the Tango’s web safe.

Referees signaled 5 extra minutes into the game, and that wasn’t enough to break the South American defensive lines.

TV channels reflected how thankful Football fans are for Barcelona that allowed Messi’s presence in Beijing’s Olympics; the new Maradona’s magic touches were the main attraction in the soccer tournament as he led his nation’s team for gold medals.

Notice that season 2007-2008 seems too promising for Argentina: sports news are pointing at it as the best team in the world, and a definitely winning bet. Despite Ronaldinho’s Brazil, Tangos were leading in the betting sites and panels and that maybe pushed them further more into winning!

Nigeria’s silver medal isn’t much of a disappointment, it’s been a while since the African team has been rewarded; they must be very satisfied with the result especially that they were not in their best shapes today…

The game was more like a marathon, with both players unwilling to loose it up for the other. 10-12 at the end, a hard luck for the French Alexis Vastine who really deserved to play for gold too, but it’s always about the best! Dominican Republic’s hope is so close to set a win in Olympics with 1 step further to over-come: fighting Manus Boonjummong. The Thai has already won over Rosiel Iglesias, while the Cuban couldn’t do much! A 10-5 game sent Cuba’s bets away.

Sports betting sites are all about the Dominican Republic and Thailand; both odds seem to be in close proximity one to another on the way to wear a gold medal.

Li Yang was out-scored earlier today by Ukraine’s silver medalist in Athens. 12-3 was the final count in favor of the tournament’s favorite in Beijing: Vasyl who had beaten both the world champion and all the expectations posted by sports betting sites since the 1^st round, qualified on behalf of the Albert Selimov.

In the final 4, Ukraine’s boxer will face Yakup Kilic in a game that decides who will have a ticket into final game in chase of the gold medal.

The fight was tensed; both sides’ nervousness was reigning. James DeGale from Britain and Shawn Estrada from USA were in a critical situation of necessity to win or head home!

British boxer was anticipating his opponent’s moves, and betting on his quick reflexes: a quality of smartness that gave him a significant advantage, along with his speed and technique.

James’ triumph puts him face to face with Artayev, gold medalist of Athens in a game of destiny and smugness. DeGale announced that he will punch Athens’s golden boy just like he did once, and that he’s keeping the best boxing performance for later!

Betting sites were delighted by the Brit.’s statement, for it creates an atmosphere of dispute, challenge and daring: 3 mains to stimulate internet betting and sports betting.

Team USA formed out of 9 boxers is now down to 3 after Shawn’s outnumbered defeat 11-5. Eagles are definitely disappointed when it comes to boxing sport.

In a way to make up their losses in quarter finals, both American sisters were willing to bring back the gold with them for a 2^nd consecutive time after Sydney’s 2000.

Spain’s Anabel Medina and Virginia Ruano weren’t so tough to beat! They

gave their opponents an easy game allowing them to leave Beijing with a gold medal.

6-2  6-0 score declared Serena Williams and Venus Williams as women tennis champions on double. Beijing’s Olympics isn’t so frustrating for Serena and Venus who weren’t up to the level during the singles tour.

Betting sites and sports news were putting pressure on the American duo, whose performance wasn’t as usual… luckily, they responded in the best possible way:

We’re back to back, and that’s our 2^nd successive!

Coach Mike Kryzewski and Co. are soaring too high for being reached. The USA team is definitely worth the surname of “dream team”, reminding us of the previous line ups during the late 90s, with a Magical Magic Johnson, Sir Charles Barkley, mail man Carl Malone and on top of all, the flying Michael Air Jordan accompanied with others; an era, during which, nations played for the silver medals, incapable of looking the world’s best players in the eye.

After 2 world championships disappointments and a bad reflection in Athens 2004, eagles are this time clearly, and with no doubts the best bet to make for Beijing’s golden award. I wonder if betting on the winner’s name has got any importance now, because it seems that fighting on the gold medal is apparently out of question!
