What a week for avid sports fans! I'm still feeling high over last week's brilliant moments from various sports that i enjoy. First of all, a big YAHOO goes over to Lewis Hamilton who FINALLY FINALLY won his overdue first race in F1 at the Canadian Grand Prix last Sunday.
Now the whole world will be waiting with bated breath if he will win the Championship in which he is currently leading by 8 points from Alonso. Of course the Canadian Grand Prix was a classic race. It was chaotic right from start to finish. I was elated to see Felipe Massa black-flagged and disqualified from the race ( no love lost between me and Massa haha).
The shocking moment of the race came when Robert Kubica had a colossal accident, really massive and the spectators all gasped, reliving Senna's death back in 1994. But kudos to FIA and their impressive safety measures these days Kubica walked away unscathed, minus a slight concussion and a sprained ankle.
If only the race had gone on for another half distance, i would have no doubt that the winner of the race would be the safety car...haha...it appeared a grand total of 4 times throughout the race and only 12 cars out of 22 were classified at the end of the race.

For the last 2 weeks, i spent my nights watching the live telecast of French Open, direct from Roland Garros, Paris. The eventual winners were no surprise : Clay-court specialists Justine Henin ( women) and Rafael Nadal ( men).
.
I had rooted for my favourite player, Roger Federer, since the beginning but i didn't expect him to win. Had he won, he would have made history and might just go on to make this year the 'Roger Slam' year and hold all four Grand Slam at the same time ( a rare feat). I must admit Nadal was too strong on clay. He played flawless tennis on his favourite surface and he deserved the win.
.
Also, really great play from Justine Henin. I once remarked that the way she moves on a clay court is like an ice skater skating on ice, smooth and swift. What a joy to see her glorious backhand ( the best in the world of tennis, even better than Federer's one-handed backhand). The final was a little short, her opponent was the beautiful Ana Ivanovic. Ana showed a lot of promise but she lacked mental strength and experience.
Justine Henin.

And now, i'm waiting to see if Real Madrid or Barcelona wins the Spanish League....ahhh...
