London Olympics: Brilliant Usain Bolt scorches to sprint gold


LONDON: Usain Bolt achieved his aim of becoming a sporting legend on Sunday as he scorched to the second-fastest 100 metres ever, a superb 9.63 seconds, to become the first man to win back-to-back Olympic sprint titles on the track. 
The Jamaican's 9.58-second run to take the 2009 world title is the only quicker time and Sunday's brilliant display silenced the doubters who predicted his hamstring problems would open the door for his rivals in one of the most eagerly-anticipated races in history. 
World champion Yohan Blake made it a Jamaican 1-2 when he won silver in 9.75 seconds and 2004 Olympic champion Justin Gatlin of the United States grabbed bronze in 9.79 as the first seven men all broke 10 seconds.

UAE footballer Awana Diab scores 'best ever penalty' with back-heel strike

Fans were not amazed with the result of the match as UAE beat Lebanon 6-2, but what stole the show was Arab footballer Awana Diab's astonishing back heel penalty.
Football enthusiasts have termed Diab's penalty kick as the ' best ever strike into the goal post', The Daily Mail reports.
With the hosts leading 5-2 at Al Ain's Khalifa bin Zayed Stadium, Diab strode up to the 12-yard spot to convert past Lebanon goalkeeper Hassan Moghnieh in the country's emphatic 6-2 victory.
The 21-year-old ran up like any other spot-kick but moments before he was about to make contact he quickly spun around and took the penalty backwards leaving the goalkeeper wrong footed.
But Diab's celebrations were cut short when he was booked for showboating and substituted by his manager, who had only brought him on three minutes earlier - for showing a 'lack of respect'.
"This is not respect. He's a young guy and he knows he made a mistake immediately. I just want him to show respect, not just on the field but off it as well," UAE coach, Srecko Katanec was quoted, as saying.
The bizarre goal has become an Internet hit, with football fans heralding it as the 'best and the most innovative penalty ever'.

We are strong, but not the best batting side,' says Dravid

Senior Indian cricketer Rahul Dravid has described the country's batting line-up as strong, but not yet the best in the world.
Speaking ahead of the Lord's Test between India and England here on Tuesday, Dravid said: "I don't like to say that we are the best batting side and they are best bowling side in the world. At the end of the day it is contest between India and England. That is the important thing. Who is the best and who is not the best? At the end of the day, we have got a strong batting line up, the series will be decided may be that contest."
The 38-year-old batsman said it was important to get off to a good start, as it could set the tune for the high-profile series.
He admitted that the team had been lacking on this aspect at times in the recent past.
"Starting well for us will be important. It is an area of our game that, we do recognize that sometimes we have not been as good as we would like to be. So it is something we want to do well. If we can start well then we see that it makes a big difference," said Dravid.
India is currently the number one side in the world and England is hoping to assume that mantle by beating the visitors by at least a two-test margin. By Praful Kumar Singh

Swann says Dhoni's wicket more important than Sachin's

England off spinner Graeme Swann has said he will target Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni rather than Sachin Tendulkar in the upcoming test series which begins tomorrow.
"He (Dhoni) leads from the front, is a very dangerous cricketer and is possibly the most charismatic player India have ever had, with the sway he holds in that country now," Swann was quoted, as saying by The Daily Express.
"If we can get at anyone he is probably the key man," he added.
Swann also said an incomplete 'Decision Review System' (DRS) in the test series will hamper his chances of getting more 'leg before wicket' decisions in his favour.
"In my opinion it (DRS) has been a great addition over the last couple of years and it works, but the powers that have been decided, we are only using it for caught behind decisions" Swann was quoted, as saying by the paper.
"I am sure in a year or two it will be used across the board for all decisions," he added.
The Lord's clash is the 100th between the sides and the 2,000th in Test history, and Swann wants to relish the occasion of playing against the world's number one Test side.
"We are playing against the number one team in the world and we are striving to be number one. It is the current number one against a team biting at their heels," Swann said.
England will make a decision on the make-up of their XI on Thursday morning, with Tim Bresnan and Stuart Broad fighting for a place in the side.
