F1 Europe 2007: Back to form!

The Nürburgring race this year was phenomenal by recent Formula 1 standards. It is probably the most impressive race I can remember in the 21st century to date. At times it was reminiscent of the battles between Hakkinen and Schumacher in the late 1990s or Prost and Senna about a decade earlier. It goes a […]

Federer's Fifth!

Roger Federer matched the Wimbledon title record of Björn Borg in what — must have been (damn you Hellenic TV for not covering this!) — a great final game against a guy regular readers of this site should know I really like and respect, Rafael Nadal. Federer’s achievement is massive if you consider how young […]

On Roland Garros and Federer's nightmares.

A year ago Rafael Nadal won his second Roland Garros, successfully defending what was considered by some as a lucky win in 2005. And while some might be doubting his capability and talent then, few will do so now. Between June 2006 and today Rafael Nadal has solidified his superiority on clay, winning an all-time […]

Is Formula One finally getting exciting?

After many years of boring championships, 2005 was the first time signs of ‘change’ began to make their appearance in F1. Renault won the championship instead of Ferrari, Alonso became a respected driver of his generation ending a streak of five championship wins for Michael Schumacher and Ferrari and, a year later, Schumacher, the undisputed […]

¡felicitaciones España!

España beat Hellas, 70 – 47 in what was a shockingly poor performance by the Hellenic team, and an excellent, organised performance by the Spanish, despite the absence of it’s star player, Pau Gasol. Well done Spain!

Team USA vs DreamTeam Hellas: 95-101

Χωρις αμφιβολία η καλύτερη διεθνής εκπροσώπηση της χώρας μας που έχει υπάρξει! Το σημερινό παιχνίδι Ελλαδος-ΗΠΑ ήταν πραγματικά ένα ρεσιτάλ καλαθοσφαίρισης από την ελληνική ομάδα απέναντι στην δυνατότερη, τρομακτικότερη ομάδα του κόσμου. Ξεκάθαρη υπεροχή σίγουρα στην άμυνα αλλά και στην επίθεση. Διαφορά πάνω από 8 βαθμούς υπερ της Ελλάδος στο μεγαλύτερο μέρος του αγώνα. Η […]

A Tennis Thriller.

Forget the boring, mediocre, football World Cup final later tonight. A thriller is taking place at Wimbledon where two of — what seems to be — the dominant male players of the next 5-10 years are competing again, just a month after Roland Garros in France. I’m referring to Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer who […]

Rafael Nadal wins Roland Garros. Again.

This is one of tennis’ paradoxes and it makes the Grand Slams this year, and I guess probably for some years to come, so much more interesting. Roger Federer (pictured left) is one of the best and most promising male tennis players in the world, and some argue one of the greatest, if not the […]
