Germany leads medal table in Vancouver after a brace of golds

February 16th, 2010

Gold medals for German women in the 10 kilometer biathlon and the luge have catapulted their country to the top of the medals’ table. Magdalena Neuner won on her skis, while Tatjana Huefner was quickest on her sled.

Germany currently leads the medals table at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, with three golds, four silvers, and two bronzes, after a string of successes in Tuesday’s competition.
First, Magdalena Neuner added a second gold to Germany’s medal count, winning the women’s biathlon 10-kilometer pursuit at Whistler Olympic Park in British Columbia.
The 23-year-old Neuner completed the course in 30 minutes 16 seconds, 12.3 seconds ahead of Slovakia’s Anastazia Kuzmina, to claim her first Olympic gold medal. Marie Laure Brunet of France took the bronze.
Neuner won silver in the women’s 7.5-kilometer sprint on Saturday, then coming in behind Kuzmina. That silver was Germany’s first medal of the Games.
Neuner, a six-time world champion, is a native of Wallgau near Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Bavaria, the site of the 1936 Winter Olympics.

More gold, and a silver lining on the ice
In the luge, German favorite Tatjana Huefner claimed gold in the women’s singles. Another German hopeful Natalie Geisenberger grabbed bronze, and Austrian Natalie Reithmayer came in second, almost half a second adrift of Huefner.
Reithmayer becomes the first non-German woman of this century to win an Olympic medal in the luge singles event, after German racers locked out the podiums at both Salt Lake City in 2002 and Turin four years ago.
On Sunday, 20-year-old German Felix Loch won the men’s singles, so Germany – usually dominant in this discipline – will shoot for a luge “grand slam” in the doubles later this week.
But heavily fancied German speedskater Jenny Wolf just missed out on gold in the women’s 500 meter event. South Korea’s Lee Sang-Hwa won the first race starting on the outside lane and managed to maintain her aggregate advantage when the skaters switched sides, despite world record holder Wolf setting the fastest single time of the competition: 37.84 seconds.
Lee’s combined time over the two races was 76.09 seconds, just five hundredths of a second quicker than Jenny Wolf.
The second quickest pair racing head-to-head in the final, China’s Wang Beixing and Margot Boer of the Netherlands, secured third and fourth places, respectively.

Belgian Justine Henin to Announce Return to Womens Tennis

October 13th, 2009

Former top-ranked player Justine Henin will announce her return to competitive tennis Tuesday, according to two top Belgian newspapers.
La Derniere Heure and Le Soir reported the comeback Monday
Her spokeswoman did not return phone calls and Henin’s Web site had no comment on the rumors.
Last year, Henin shocked the tennis world by announcing her retirement while still ranked No. 1.
As recently as May, she complained that the sport had left her with so many physical ailments that a return was unthinkable.
Henin, a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF, has begun training again, but has refused to comment on plans for a possible return over the past month.
At 27, it would certainly not be too late for a comeback, as compatriot Kim Clijsters proved when she won the U.S. Open earlier this month.

Having played barely a month on the tour after 2 1/2 years in retirement, Clijsters won the last Grand Slam of the season, beating both Venus and Serena Williams on the way to the final.
After Clijsters’ victory, Henin praised her performance on her Web site.
“What you have come to achieve there is incredible,” wrote Henin. “I very warmly congratulate you on your magnificent victory.“

Serena Williams the one to beat in New York

August 29th, 2009

It’s hard to pick a clear winner for the US Open but you can’t really bet against Serena Williams when it comes to the Grand Slams, she has this knack of turning it on for the big events.
She hasn’t actually performed very well since Wimbledon, I’ve watched some of her matches and she’s lacked a bit of intensity and lost to players you wouldn’t expect, but I’m sure when it comes to a Grand Slam she’ll be very focused and turn it on.
But I do think the women’s draw at the US Open is so open, it’s really up for grabs.
It will be interesting to see how Kim Clijsters does having had two years out of the game. She’s made a pretty good comeback. In Cincinnati and Toronto she proved to everyone she can play well but I’m not sure she can go all the way.

It would be a great story if she did win the US Open but physically I wonder if she can play seven matches at that kind of level.
Maria Sharapova has been playing a bit better, she made the final in Toronto although looked a bit tired by the end, but now she’s got her ranking back up and is seeded 29th. I think she’ll do well but, again, seven matches is a lot.
In Toronto she scraped through a few matches and when she lost the first set against Elena Dementieva in the final she called on her coach and said her arm was getting tired. I do wonder how she will cope but it depends how she does early on. If she can win her early rounds comfortably then she can save a bit of energy.
Dinara Safina deserves her number one ranking because she’s been the most consistent player on every surface over the last year.
She’s a tough opponent but she can be up and down, and I’m not too sure that on the hard courts she’s as effective as on a clay court. I’m sure she’ll do well, but winning it – I’m not too sure.
Like her sister, Venus Williams also hasn’t performed so well since Wimbledon and obviously grass is her best surface.
On hard courts she’s had some shocking losses – the other week it was against Kateryna Bondarenko, and these are players she should be beating comfortably.
