JUVENTUS OPEN NEW STADIUM

JUVENTUS OPEN NEW STADIUM  WITH FAKE ZEBRA GIRAFFES


Juventus begin life in their new stadium
They could have invited Barcelona, Real Madrid or Manchester United to inaugurate their fine new stadium. Instead a great Italian institution summoned the club standing 12th in the third tier of English football to join Thursday's opening ceremony and, if there has been a more elegant gesture in the history of football, it would be good to hear of it.
Juventus open new stadium with fake zebra giraffes

For it was Notts County, in 1903, who answered the call of a Juventus member, an Englishman named John Savage, to send a set of the club's black and white striped shirts to replace the pink numbers worn by the players of the Italian club since their founding by a group of students six years earlier. Thus did Notts, who were then midway through a spell in the old First Division, save Juventus from a century of being confused with pink-shirted Palermo.

Themselves founded in 1862, Notts are the world's oldest football club who are currently professional and, when their chief executive, Jim Rodwell, contacted Juventus with a tentative invitation to visit Nottingham for a match to celebrate next year's 150th anniversary, the response was more than he could have imagined. Juventus's young president, Andrea Agnelli, immediately called Ray Trew, Notts' owner, to suggest that they might become the first visitors to the new ground, which is built on the site of the unloved Stadio delle Alpi in Turin's northern suburbs. Notts have a league match against Walsall on Saturday but could hardly turn down such a request.

This was the night when their 200 travelling fans in the 41,000 crowd could watch Neal Bishop, Lee Hughes and Ricky Ravenhill rubbing shoulders with Alessandro Del Piero, Gigi Buffon and Andrea Pirlo – not to mention Dino Zoff, Giampiero Boniperti, Luis Del Sol, Fabio Capello, Marcello Lippi, Claudio Gentile, Roberto Bettega, Ciro Ferrara, Angelo Di Livio, Edgar Davids, Paolo Montero and Fabrizio Ravanelli, who joined the pre-match parade to represent earlier generations. The future embraced its history, and vice versa, in a marvellous football occasion hosted by Agnelli, the fourth member of his family to hold the presidency.

Two and a half hours before kick-off the Notts squad made their way on to the pitch. They had been flown to Turin on a plane chartered by their hosts and been put up at a five-star hotel, receiving a police escort to and from Juventus's training ground. They looked around in awe, taking photographs of the stadium, which is steep-sided, with no running track, rather like a half-size Camp Nou in black and white.

The brilliantly staged gala featured a brass band, speeches, fireworks, a diva on stilts, film clips of Omar Sivori and John Charles on giant screens, the mass singing of Juve, Storia Di Un Grande Amore, huge replicas of the club's trophies, Agnelli cutting a ribbon with golden scissors handed to him by a Monica Bellucci lookalike, dancers dressed as zebras – Notts may be the Magpies, but Juve are Le Zebre – and a quietly devastating parade of 39 white-clad children representing the Heysel dead. And, eventually, a decent game of football.

Could Del Piero, in his 678th game, score his 285th goal and Juve's first in their new home? A Nottingham bookmaker was taking bets on Hughes beating him to it, after the veteran striker became the first Notts player to amass 30 goals in a season since Tommy Lawton. But Notts' manager, Martin Allen, withheld his top scorer until the second half, probably with an eye on the Walsall match rather than out of a desire not to steal the Juve captain's thunder.

The nearest Del Piero came in his 45 minutes on the pitch was with a shot over the bar from the edge of the area. Robert Burch, the Notts goalkeeper, made a couple of fine blocks in the first half, and eight minutes after the interval he saved a penalty from Fabio Quagliarella after Ravenhill had handled the ball but Luca Toni slid the rebound home, putting an end to the only real suspense of a genial occasion.


Three minutes from time Hughes had the satisfaction of becoming the first man to score a goal for a visiting side when he rammed the ball home from two yards after a free-kick had squirmed out of the hands of Alex Manninger, Juve's second substitute goalkeeper. Notts had been good value for their 1-1. Now back to Meadow Lane.

BEST OF ALLISON STOKKE


ALLISON STOKKE
Alison Stokke, who normally rises over the pole-vaulting bar, rose to Internet Fame when a picture of her when she was 17 at a track meet was posted on the Internet.

Allison Stokke Life Story

Soon, more pictures would surface, millions of new fans would stare at her pics, and this future California Bear Field Star, would find unexpected, and unwanted fame as one of the few Internet stars that have kept their clothes on.
She was the National Freshman Record holder in the pole-vault in 2004 going 12-08 and winning the California State Meet.In 2005 she was trying out a new pole during a practice session at Golden West College and unfortunately fell into the concrete box, breaking her tibia.

Allison Stokke Athletic Career

At age 15, Stokke won a California state championship, and broke several national records in her age division. As a senior at Newport Harbor High School, she set the second best mark in the nation for that calender year with a 13'7" vault. In the CIF State Championship finals she finished 4th after a leg injury interfered with her ability to sprint down the runway. After being highly recruited, Stokke now vaults for the University of California at Berkeley.

TOP TEN HOTTEST WOMEN OF SPORTS


 THE HOTTEST WOMEN OF SPORTS

Ok. Now we’re in the top 10 and the sports world has never been more on fire. So who are the top 10 most beautiful women in sports? Read on and find out…

10. Romi Bean

Romi Bean cheerleader
Ah, cheerleaders! Romi is one of the 34 members of the Denver Broncos cheerleader team. Wait a minute, did I just say 34? Holy crap, imagine what it must be to visit their changing room after the game….

9. Amanda Beard

Amanda Beard swimmer
This is our fifth swimmer? Man, what a blessed sport. Apart from being hot as hell, Amanda is also a fantastic swimmer. She made her first Olympic appearance at the age of 14! She also got featured in several publications, including Sports Illustrated, FHM and Playboy.

8. Maria Kirilenko

Maria Kirilenko
Yet another Russian tennis player, I know. But it would be pure negligence to leave Maria Kirilenko out of this list right? A bit of trivia: she is a very good friend of Maria Sharapova. I found this info Wikipedia, and I guess it will keep my imagination busy for a while.

7. Jenny Adams

Jenny Adams track and field
This track and field American athlete got famous after she appeared on the FHM magazine “Sexy Olympic” edition. She will probably participate in the next Olympic games too, so keep an eye for the lady.

6. Daniela Cicarelli

Daniela Cicarelli soccer
Not a sportswoman, but the ex-girlfriend of Ronaldo. He is one of the best soccer players of all time, but letting this girl go was definitely a dumb thing to do. The picture says it all, I am speechless.

5. Maria Sharapova

Maria Sharapova tennis
This is a woman not for the faint of heart. At 6 feet and 2 inches, the Russian beauty is a former number one tennis player in the world. And she only has 20 years. I just couldn’t find if she is engaged (personally I prefer to think she is still a virgin).

4. Haley Cope

Haley Cope swimmer
Haley was born in Chico, California. Her best swimming performance was the gold medal on the world championship. We would be her fans even without these achievements though, especially after she appeared on Maxim and Playboy.

3. Alisson Stokke

Alisson Stokke pole vaulter
Allison is a pole vaulter for the California high school. She doesn’t have any major sport achievements to date, but she became immensely popular on the Internet after a big website featured her pictures. Well, after I saw the images I became her biggest fan immediately.

2. Bia e Branca

Bia e Branca swimming
No, you are not seeing double. They are actually twins. These two hot bombs come from Brazil, and they represented their country on the 2007 Pan American games on the synchronized swimming. I was able to read the local press during the event, and they received most of the coverage. No wonder why!

1. Ana Kournikova

Ana Kournikova tennis
We know that placing Ana Kournikova on top of a “hot” list is becoming a cliché. Trust us that we really tried to find someone else. After the strenuous task of analyzing ever curve of her body, on every picture that we could find on the web, we could not help but give her the first position. She is hot beyond what we thought was possible….

Anna Kournikova The Hottest Women of Sports

Anna Kournikova 
When it comes to sex symbols in female sports, the first name that should come to everyone’s mind isAnna Kournikova. Despite being one of the most popular females on the WTA circuit for several years, Anna failed to win even a single tournament. That has led several critics to question her popularity among tennis fans, but something tells me that many of those so-called “tennis fans” were interested in something other than her tennis skills.  If that doesn’t help clarify things, perhaps this photo gallery will.
