Golf opportunity of Olympic proportions
2011-03-28 18:54:00 The LPGA is preparing for the most-important unofficial, small-field, two-round golf tournament anywhere in the world. The HSBC LPGA Brasil Cup is just one ingredient in the recipe that can make the sport’s return to the Olympics a success. Tim Maitland reports. Angela Stanford at 2010 LPGA Brasil Cup A 27-player, two-day tournament is not normally associated with the start of something big in the wide world of golf, but the HSBC LPGA Brasil Cup could be the veritable small acorn from which a giant oak tree grows. Prize money of just US $720,000 might not seem much, but the event is the closest thing to a fully-fledged global tournament in the nation that will provide the stage for golf’s re-entry into the Olympics in 2016. As America’s leading female golfer Cristie Kerr put it when she committed to making her first trip into South America, the Olympics is “the biggest single opportunity that women’s golf has...
2012 London Olympics: "Game On" Says David Howman, World Anti-Do
2011-03-02 14:00:00 Looks like WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) is getting down to business as they strike a "landmark agreement" with the UK Border Agency regarding the trafficking of performance-enhancing drugs. They are going to "share information" as the two agencies have discovered that the same individuals dealing illegal recreational drugs have their hands all over the performance-enhancing drug market. That's the focus in Jacquelin Magnay's recent article, "2012 London Olympics: Landmark deal for war on drugs," at The Telegraph (telegraph.co.uk). In a comparable Australian agreement, sports suspensions for drugs:

Big Three Play On Baby: You Haters Should Blame the Olympics
2010-07-10 19:38:00 Playas have you heard the complaints about LeBron's decision to move his family and career to Miami-Wade; I'm sorry Dade County to play for the Miami Heat Basketball team?He decided to forgo a loftier financial contract, alpha-male leadership positioning and the compromise of his brand to play in another city with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh. The decision has made the Miami Heat the basketball version of the New York Yankees without compromise.This is real big! Let's review, LeBron played his entire professional career for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Ohio is the state where LeBron was born and raised. He has performed admirably for seven years for the Cleveland Franchise. ...

Now THIS Is What the Vancouver Olympics Are Missing...
2010-02-19 15:35:00 I'm an unabashed Olympics fan. I cry when people win, I cry when people fail, I cry at the overworked stories of kids growing up homeless and penniless on the slopes of Vermont with just a pair of skis and a dream. From the figure skating, hockey and half-pipe to the surprisingly enthralling curling competition, I'm hooked. There are people, however, who think these Vancouver games are a snooze. There are those who complain about the lack of suspense in tape-delayed events and those who want more action, fewer heart-wrenching stories told with a soft focus lens. This clip, my friends, is for all of us. The lovers, the haters, even the Canadians. Back in 1992, Ski Ballet may have...
Shani Davis: "I wouldn't change a thing about the winter Olympics
2010-02-18 07:48:00 Chicagoan Shani Davis contributed to America's medal count Wednesday with a gold in the 1,000m speedskating race. "I didn't wear my Sox hat today," he said. Davis was among six Americans to medal in today's Olympic competition with his winning time of 1 min 8.94 seconds, becoming the first man to win back-to-back 1,000-metre Olympic speedskating gold medals.""I am always trying to be really cool and calm," Davis said of his winning time in a press conference Wednesday, "but I was really peeping those times tonight."Davis spoke to how these Games will help the perception of speedskating, and how the sport is going to grow because of how much attention there is on the Games in Vancouver. "It has an instant effect,"...
Vancouver Olympics on NBC
2010-02-18 06:36:00 I've been watching the Vancouver Olympics on NBC lately and I can't get over the style of some of the athletes--so chic! I pulled a list of my favorite athletes who are stylish on and off of competition. Have a look in the gallery for more!: Lindsey Vonn: First American female to win the gold in the downhill in skiing tonight...she is beautiful, talented and very emotional when she won as she continued to have tears of joy in spite of her many injuries!

Cold And Bumpy Road So Far For Vancouver 2010 Olympics....
2010-02-17 01:32:00 To me the things that always stand out about any Olympics is normally the pageantry and desire and heart of the athletes during competition all simply to hear their national anthem played with a medal around their neck. The Vancouver games of 2010 are not off to such a majestic start. Between no snow, pillar malfunctions, problems making ice, top name athletes dropping out of competition and a death......It's been a rough start of the Winter Olympiad....
Team Canada Defeats the USA In the Chicago Blackhawks' Mini-Olympics

One of the highlights was a Canada v. USA "Mini-Olympics," the perfect send-off for the guys before the long Olympic break. In the first challenge, Canadians Andrew Ladd and Jonathan Toews took on Americans Dustin Byfuglien and Patrick Kane in the "Popsicle Challenge." BRAIN FREEZE!!!!! And for the second and final challenge, Americans Adam Burish and Kane tried to salvage a win for the States, taking on Canadians Brian Campbell and Kris Versteeg in the "Skate 'N Shoot" competition. Once you get past the slo-mo, homoerotic dressing and hair-flipping scene, you'll be hard-pressed...

The Olympics have begun--or so we think
2010-02-13 19:29:00 Vancouver--during the 2010 Winter Olympic opening ceremony, the lighting of the torch--a historic and honorable moment, malfunctioned last night as one of the four torchbearers didn't come up all the way.

VANOC, the Vancouver Olympic Committee announced this morning that todays events, men's downhill skiing, women's super combined downhill, and women's super combined slalom skiing have all been postponed. Both events were scheduled in Whistler.

Vancouver Olympics mascots Quatchi and Miga in the flesh
2010-02-12 03:24:00 The mascots for these Olympic Games--Quatchi, Sumi and Miga--have been receiving a ton of attention. And with good reason.When I think of the best reasons to be in Vancouver right now, it's hard to top seeing huge, adorable mascots dancing in person. I was in the Olympic Village earlier today for the Team USA flag raising ceremony and caught some of their moves. Enjoy. But wait, there's more! No word on why Sumi failed to make an appearance. I'll keep my eye out for him....

2010-02-10 21:34:00 U.S. Alpine Speed Skier Lindsey Vonn, 25, announced this morning at a press conference in Vancouver that she might not be able to compete in the Winter Olympics. Vonn is one of the few world-class, four event ski racers and the only American woman to have won two World Cup overall titles.

Vonn has not skied since last week's injury and was unable to walk for at least 3 days. She...

Basketball belongs in Winter Olympics
2010-02-09 06:15:00 I feel like we need a breather from regular-season NBA games. Not every year--more like every four. Nothing too lengthy, either; two weeks is fine. Come to think of it, star players could compete in an international tournament of some kind, where they give out medals and play the anthem of the winning nation.Where is it written that Winter Olympics events have to involve snow and/or ice?...

While Brazil is another country that gets a bad rap and is thought of as dangerous, you'll find that the vast majority of Brazilians are friendly, warm and welcoming people who just want to show you their beautiful country.
