Nicol David is presently one of Malaysia's hottest sports properties. Perhaps, she is hotter than the hottest real estate property around the nationhood. While most Malaysians will have to take a really good look before becoming a professional sports person, Nicol shows them how she did it, and why they should do it too.
Nicol was born Nicol Ann David on 26 August 1983 in Penang. She is a daughter to Desmond David, an engineer and Ann Marie David, a teacher. Her first encounter with squash began at a tender age of 5, and at the age of 8 she started to take squash seriously with regular training and involved in competitive games. She received her primary education at SM Convent, Penang.
Her first international win was at Hong Kong Under-13 category. Soon, Nicol began climbing her way up conquering the challenges in the Asian level and world championship.
Nicol began dominating the squash scene by winning the Asian championship as well as becoming the youngest player to become the worl

China once again showed its superiority in world badminton by clinching 4 of the 5 titles at stake at the 2007 Denmark Open. Malaysians Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong survived the sweep by beating Danish runner-ups Jens Eriksen and Martin Lundgaard in three games.In singles, Lin Dan and Lu Lan climbed onto the top step of the podium while compatriots Yang Wei and Zhang Jiewen were given a scare by Koreans Lee and Lee in the women’s doubles. On the other hand, He Hanbin and Yu Yang won their first Super Series title in mixed doubles.He Hanbin and Yu Yang are certainly a pair to watch in the future. Their win in Saturday’s semi-finals might not have been the most convincing one, but in the final, they proved that they could beat any pair in the world.Indeed, the Chinese started strong against the English pair of Nathan Roberston and Gail Emms and snatched the first game 21-17.

Like so many others, the drama of the Brazilian Grand-Prix yesterday on Sunday had me on the edge of my seat for the duration of the race. It was an interesting situation, all Hamilton had to do was to finish with 5 points and he would have won the championship but the young rookie driver made a big mistake at the start of the race and slid off the track which cost him a few places and then later in the race, faced some gear-box issues which lost him 30 seconds more and in the end it was something that Lewis Hamilton could not make up for preventing him from becoming the first ever rookie F1 champion. But I'd say that he has enough to be proud off, who would have thought such a result for him in his first championship season? not even him or his father. As for Raikonen, I am very very happy that he finally won a championship. To be honest, I have always liked him since he was driving for McLarren, he was the only one who could replace Mika Hakkinen at the time and was strong enough to

I made a bold prediction and it happened. I am thrilled that the Spurs had swept the Cavs. Actually I based the prediction on five elements that the Spurs possesed.
Here are what have taken place.
1. Spurs fourth rings in nine years. A dynasty as Mike Wilbon says so? I don’t think so.
2. Tim Duncan’s fourth rings tied with Shaquille O’Neal. Who is better?
3. Spurs now joined the historical teams with at least four rings. Boston Celtics, LA Lakers, Chicago Bulls.
4. Robert Horry’s 7th ring. Yes, he now outnumbers his idol, Scottie Pippen.
5. Greg Popovich joins the elite group of coaches.
6. Tony Parker the Finals MVP.
A repeat will make them a dynasty. See you next season San Antonio..
Formula 1: If the news about Michelin Tires leaving Formula 1 at the end of 2006 season wasn’t enough, BREAKING NEWS coming out of the McLaren Mercedes with the signing of the current World Champion Fernando Alonso to race with Vodafone at McLaren Mercedes in 2007.We have seen this before, but even this news was surprising to me when I first read it today, Alonso moving to the team that he edged out for the 2005 Formula 1 World Championship to drive for not in 2006, but a year later in 2007. The question is, with both Kimi and JP Montoya’s contracts up at the end of 2006, which one will be back in 2007, you could see both drivers going else.Two big pieces of good news for the 2007 season in Formula 1, one tire suppier that fixes most problems and a champion going to McLaren with a new title sponsor and just think we still have the entire 2006 season to go.
