i'm so excited about osaka!! looking forward to the women's pole vault final and the men's javelin throw final!! i love athletics

oh, additionally i follow football a lot!! german bundesliga of course, my favourite club is the one from around my place: HERTHA BSC BERLIN ole ole, ole ole, this is us the BSC, ole!!

oh, and i like hamburg a lot...hopefully they can get a title this year. it would be great and they really deserve it considering their awesome fight last season. they started from the last place in winter and in the end managed to reach the uefa cup qualification
they are currently on 2nd place in the bundesliga (who's first? well, of course bayern -.-)

go HERTHA!! go HSV!!

and the big (B-) match between england and germany is approaching

both teams are injury-stricken...german team is lacking almost the complete a-team (oh, lol, great show, btw ), 11 german players are injured

don't know exactly what is going on with the english team, but i heard that the offensive is called "the puzzle" because so many offensive players are missing and now new ones have to fill the positions

oh, gordon brown and angela merkel will be sitting on the bleachers cheering up for their teams

well, looking forward to that match...munich 2001 needs a revenge

Osaka 2007 - Barber withdraws from heptathlon
Eurosport - Thu, 23 Aug 14:14:00 2007
Former world champion Eunice Barber has withdrawn from the heptathlon in Osaka as she has failed to recover from injury in time.

Barber, who took silver behind Carolina Kluft both in Paris in 2003 and in Helsinki in 2005, was considered to be one of the greatest challenges to the Swede's bid to win a third straight title.

But the Frenchwoman has struggled with injury for much of the season and has withdrawn from the tiring multi-event in order to concentrate on reclaiming the long jump title she won in 2003.

"Eunice remains careful after sensing discomfort over the past weeks but remains confident for the long jump," the French Federation said.

But despite Barber's absence Kluft says she still believes the competition will be tough despite being unbeaten in major championships for the past five years.


"My training has been good and I feel like I am ready to compete," Kluft said. "I don't think about [the humid weather] that much. It's sunshine. It's worse to be in the rain.

"[Barber] is a great athlete and we always pushed each other. But for me it doesn't matter. I focus on my own competition. There are still a lot of good athletes out there."

As well as winning her third gold medal at the World Championships, Kluft will be attempting to improve her personal best of 7001 points, but denies she is planning an assault on Jackie Joyner-Kersee's world record of 7291 points.

"It is a really good record and it is nothing that I think of," Kluft said. "I never have that in my mind because I am not sure I have the ability to break it.

"I would not end my career being disappointed because I was chasing a record I might never get. Jackie Joyner-Kersee was a great athlete. It is a great record and she will keep that forever."


i can t believe this news i was hoping her to go for gold !!!

Ohuruogu Enjoys Strong Run
Thu 23 Aug, 09:09 AM



Christine Ohuruogu blew away the cobwebs before the World Championships by breezing to an impressive 400 metres victory in Osaka this morning.

Ohuruogu, whose drugs ban for missing three out-of-competition tests only finished 17 days ago, competed to assist the local organisers' test of the venue's electronic equipment.

The Commonwealth champion produced a controlled display and made a massive improvement on the time of 53.09seconds she achieved on her return to action in Glasgow on August 11.

Ohuruogu showed no signs of the rustiness which was apparent at the Scottish Championships, flying to a very impressive time of 50.56secs.

The 23-year-old east Londoner, whose 400m heat is on Sunday, quickly left the arena after beating off the challenges of some of the opposition she will face.

Her coach Lloyd Cowan said: "It was a good workout because she was nervous. We have a job to do here and we're looking forward to next week."

go british athletes !!!lol sorry (blush)
