MAO ASADA made 3 Axel jump twice
MAO ASADA got silver medal at the competition of Figure Skating of Vancouver Olympic. Her way was really long. At the previous Olympic, she could not join in the games because she was too young. But at the time, she was already the top skater at world competition. In that sense, she was not lucky in her career. But she proved the technique [...]
DAISUKE TAKAHASHI got Bronz Medal on Figure Skating Competition
In Vancouver, Japanese players aren't making good results judging from the numbers of medals. But yesterday, Daisuke Takahashi gave us a touching moment when he got bronz medal for the first time ever as a Japanese figure skating player. Japanese female figure skating made some good results in the past Olympic games. Shizuka Arakawa got Gold [...]
Good Luck, Yuko Kawaguchi !
I didn't know a Japanese girl is playing ice skate in Russia as a Pair Skating player. Her name is Yuko Kawaguchi. Yesterday, she and her partner Alexander Victorovich Smirnov (Александр Викторович Смирнов) played skating in Vancouver Olympic. Russia seems to be traditionally strong in this competition with more than [...]
Joji Kato & Keiichiro Nagashima got medales on Speed Skate
On Speed Skate 500 meter competition, Keiichiro Nagashima and Joji Kato got medals today. Nagashima got silver medal and Koto got bronz medal. Japanese speed skate team is always expected medals since Kitazawa got silver medal for the first time in Sarajevo Olympic games. After that, Hiroyasu Shimizu got gold medal in Nagano Olympic, which [...]
AIKO UEMURA missed a medal at Vancouver Olympic
Today Ski Mogul or Free Style Ski competition for women was held at Vancouver Olympic. From Japanese team, I followed a player, AIKO UEMURA. For her, this is the 4th Olympic games and she has never won a medal before. To be honest, her peak time was probably 2008. She got gold medal as annual season winner of world cup games then, and won [...]
ASASHORYU news and Sumo spirit
Recently the Sumo Grand champion, Asashoryu, retired. The biggest reason for his decision was an accident that Asashoryu was involved. News reported he hit a man and the man's nose bone was broken. Asashoryu had a few accidents in the past, and Sumo committee seems to have decided " that's it". There are still many pros and cons, but I [...]
MAO ASADA won today
Mao Asada won the 4 continental figure skating competition today. Yesterday, she made some mistakes in the short program, so many worried about her success today. I think it was a brave choice for her because the next event is the Olympic games. Many of the world level skaters did not join in this competition because of the condition control, [...]
Tiger Woods, Really Sex Addiction ?
This is a really shocking news for me. I don't play the gold so often but sometimes I play it. Although I know I'm just a poor player and not like top player's sensitivity in playing, I understand how Golf is a mental sport and integrated humanity is the most important for gold playing. When I play the golf with some trifle things in my [...]
NORIAKI KASAI, the hidden best ski jumper
Vancouver Olympic is looming. I don't think Japan team would take a lot of medals as they did in Nagano Olympic games. Some players on ski games and skating games are expected, but not such a big possibility for medals. Although we know as above, I can't help hoping that NORIAKI KASAI would take a medal on the ski jump games. I really [...]
Hideki Irabu, an ex-major leaguer, retired playing
Hideki Matsui recently moved his team from NY Yankees to Anaheim Angels. The same first name player, Hideki Irabu was also a member of NY Yankees from Japan. Hideki Irabu is not remembered well because he often commented badly about others and his attitude in the baseball field was not always good as an honorable major league player. [...]
