BERNARD HOPKINS



The old man is in the history books.
Philadelphia's Bernard Hopkins, 46, captured the World Boxing Council and International Boxing Organization light heavyweight championships with a unanimous 12-round decision against Jean Pascal of Laval, Que., on Saturday night before 17,560 Bell Centre spectators.
Hopkins avenged a majority draw the two fought to last December in Quebec City, although many at ringside that night believed Hopkins had won. His undoing proved to be two early knockdowns he suffered, in the first and third rounds.

SAMMY WANJIRU COMMITTED SUICIDE

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP): Kenyan Olympic marathon champion Sammy Wanjiru committed suicide by jumping from a balcony shortly after a domestic dispute involving his wife and another woman, police said Monday. He was 24.
Wanjiru died late Sunday after jumping from a balcony at his home in the town of Nyahururu, in the Rift Valley, said John Mbijiwe, the police chief in Kenya's Central Province.
"The fact of the matter is that Wanjiru committed suicide," said national police spokesman Eric Kiraithe.
Wanjiru's 11 p.m. suicide jump came shortly after an argument with his wife, said a police official who was not authorized to release the information and asked for anonymity.
Wanjiru, who had been drinking, was with another woman in his home and was discovered by his wife, the official said.
In the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Wanjiru became the first Kenyan to win a gold medal in the marathon, finishing in an Olympic-record 2 hours, 6 minutes, 32 seconds.
Wanjiru had a history of domestic problems. Last December, he was charged with wounding his security guard with a rifle and threatening to kill his wife and maid. The runner denied all charges and was released on bail.
Wanjiru made an early start to his career, moving to Japan aged 15 where he attended school in Sendai - a city hard hit by this year's tsunami - where he won some major cross country events while also competing in track competitions.
Moving to Europe to advance his promising career, Wanjiru won the Rotterdam Half Marathon in 2005 in a world record time.
He twice improved on that record before stepping up to the full marathon in 2007, back in Japan, winning the Fukuoka Marathon.
The following year he finished second in the prestigious London marathon, and then claimed the biggest prize of his career by taking Olympic gold in Beijing.
Wanjiru became the youngest runner to win four major marathons. In addition to the Olympics, he won in London in 2009 and in Chicago in 2009 and 2010, in the process running the fastest ever time recorded in a marathon in the United States.
Marathon great Haile Gebrselassie, a two-time Olympic champion and world record holder, said on his Twitter feed that he was "totally shocked" by the news.
"My thoughts are with his family and all his friends and colleagues," Gebrselassie said.
"Of course one wonders if we as an athletics family could have avoided this tragedy."
American marathon runner Ryan Hall posted on Twitter: "Incredibly sad news about Sammy. I am shocked and saddened."

ROME MASTERS 2011

ROME (AP) - Novak Djokovic is just starting to get used to hearing his name mentioned in the same breath as the legends of the game.
The seemingly unstoppable Serb stretched his unbeaten start to the season to 37 matches on Sunday with a 6-4, 6-4 win over top-ranked Rafael Nadal in the Italian Open final.
Djokovic's streak trails only John McEnroe's 42-0 start in 1984. Overall, the 23-year-old has won 39 consecutive matches stretching back to Serbia's Davis Cup triumph in December, seven behind Guillermo Vilas' Open era record set in 1977.
"It's an incredible honor to be a part of tennis history in some way and part of an elite group of players - Federer, Nadal, McEnroe, (Ivan) Lendl, guys who were winning so many in a row," Djokovic said. "I don't know how much good it brings to tennis, but it's good that someone else is able to win other than just Federer and Nadal. It makes it more interesting."
The second-ranked Djokovic has racked up seven titles already this year, and beaten Nadal in all four finals they've played this year.
He defeated the Spaniard for the first time on clay in last week's Madrid Open final and this win makes him the first player to beat Nadal on clay twice in the same year, a feat that comes exactly a week before the French Open starts.
Djokovic is collecting so many records that he had to take a long pause when asked which one he's most proud of.
"I'm just most happy about the game I have this year on clay - the way I'm striking the ball and the way I'm so self-confident," he eventually responded. "I always knew I could beat the top players, but now I have the confidence to do it."
Djokovic's edge over Nadal could enable him to overtake his rival for the No. 1 ranking the week after the French Open.
"He's doing amazing things. Every match he's very tough mentally and physically," Nadal said. "I'm doing everything I can. I can't ask myself anymore now. I'm doing very well but one player is doing better than me. I am waiting every week to try solutions, so let's see."
Nadal said it's "impossible" for Djokovic's streak to go on forever. "I have to wait for my moment to win and I know that," the Spaniard said. Also Sunday, Maria Sharapova stormed to a 6-2, 6-4 win over Sam Stosur in the woman's final for the biggest clay-court title of her career.
After a three-hour rain delay, the seventh-seeded Sharapova won the opening four games, then cruised from there to follow up her victory over top-ranked Caroline Wozniacki in the semifinals.
Sharapova is a three-time Grand Slam winner and Roland Garros remains the only major title she hasn't won. She'll now be among the favorites in Paris.
"This is just the beginning of many things to come. This is just the start of everything," Sharapova said during the trophy presentation.
Nadal had won this tournament five of the past six years and entered the final with a 31-1 career record in Rome. His only previous loss came to countryman Juan Carlos Ferrero in his opening round three years ago.
Djokovic attributed his win in Madrid partly to the altitude and faster conditions there. The conditions at the Foro Italico are more similar to those in Paris, perhaps making this victory more meaningful.
"Whatever the conditions I needed to step into the court and take chances and be aggressive," said Djokovic, who also won this title in 2008. "That's really the only way against Nadal on clay."
Djokovic also had to recover from a three-hour semifinal win over Andy Murray that ended near midnight Saturday. Fortunately for Djokovic, the rain delay before the woman's final gave him more time to rest.
"Everything is possible. That's the explanation," Djokovic said. "If you believe you can recover, if you do the job well with the team around you and try to focus on your goal and physically be ready. ... We did the job great.
Today I was able to get the maximum of my abilities on the court."
Despite the delay, nearly all of the 10,500 ticket holders were on hand for the Djokovic-Nadal match, and with Italy located geographically in between Spain and Serbia both players received about equal support.
While Nadal was using more loopy topspin shots to keep the ball in the court, Djokovic flattened his shots out more often, skimming balls just over the top of the net.
Djokovic also stepped into the court more, while Nadal mostly stayed a good distance behind the baseline.
"I was happy with the way I (played) today. I didn't hit the ball (badly) but it seems like he's always in a better position," Nadal said. "I played more aggressive than one week ago. I didn't play all defensive like in Madrid."
At one point in the second set, Nadal began hitting high balls, almost like the moon balls seen on the women's tour years ago.
"I tried for a moment, that's true," Nadal said. "I lost in Madrid so I tried different things today. ... I have many things (to try) next time."
After trading breaks early in the second set, Djokovic began screaming to himself and pumping himself up after each winner as the match drew closer to the end. He also had to stretch his aching muscles in between points.
With rain drops beginning to fall again, Djokovic closed the match out with a break after a Nadal netcord put him in control of his fourth match point, then fell to the clay on his back and sprayed champagne on the court after the trophy presentation.
"I will definitely not touch the racket for the next four days," Djokovic said. "Rest is very important right now and then getting ready for Roland Garros."

SPORT INDUSTRY MALAYSIA

A Ministry of Sports may not be needed in the future when the sports industry fully blooms in the country and National Sports Associations (NSA) become self-sufficient. KUALA LUMPUR, March 25 (Bernama) —  Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek, however, said such a process would take time and that the ministry was in the process of developing the true potential of the sports industry to generate and boost the economy.
“The process will take time because we need time to create awareness and
develop sports as a major industry.
“One way to achieve success is to launch the Sports Industry Year starting
July 2011 to July 2012 and include various activities to create awareness, aimed
at providing information to the people,” he told reporters after witnessing the
signing of a memorandum of understanding between National Sports Council (NSC)
and the Mines Event Management Sdn Bhd (MEM), to organise the ”Malaysia Sports
Trade & Golf Expo (MSTGE) 2011” from Oct 27 to 30 at the Mines Resort City.
Ahmad Shabery said NSAs should work like a corporate body that would enable
them to make good and fast decisions to attract major sponsors.
“This will reduce the government”s role and give a huge impact to sports in
the country,” he said, citing clubs in the US and England as examples of
successful clubs that have made it big without government support.
He said the sports industry needed aggressive promotion and publicity to
succeed.
Meanwhile, the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) president Sultan Ahmad
Shah today met Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen at his official residence in
Phnom Penh to discuss the development of football in the country.
The FAM president who was accompanied by his deputy Tengku Abdullah Sultan
Ahmad Shah, FAM general-secretary Datuk Azzuddin Ahmad and Malaysian Ambassador
to Cambodia Datuk Mohd Hussein Datuk Pangiran Mohd Tahir later met Prince
Norodom Sihamoni at his Palace before meeting officials from the Cambodian FA.

NESTLE KOKO KRUNCH JUNIOR TAEKWONDO CHAMPIONSHIP 2011-EASTERN REGION



Caption: Pahang Youth, Sports and Culture Committee chairman Datuk Wan Adnan Wan Mamat (back row, fifth from right) and Cereal Partners Malaysia country business manager Nirmalah Thurai (back row, sixth from right) join Gemilang Taekwondo Club and other officials in celebrating the Terengganu-based team's triumph in the 6th Nestle Koko Krunch Junior Taekwondo Championship - Eastern Region in Kuantan on Saturday.


HAVING conquered the east coast, Gemilang Taekwondo Club are now looking to stamp their mark in the grand finals of the 6th Nestle Koko Krunch Junior Taekwondo Championship at the Kuala Lumpur Badminton Stadium on May 21.

Gemilang were a rampant side in the eastern region leg of the championship at the Kuantan Badminton Hall on Saturday as they swept the opposition aside to take 10 of the 20 gold medals at stake.
Terengganu-based Gemilang not only emerged overall champions with a haul of 10 gold, three silver and eight bronze medals but were also tops in the boys' and girls' team classifications. Gemilang won five gold, two silver and six bronze to clinch the boys' team title and their girls were equally dominant, taking home a haul of 5-1-2 to leave the opposition trailing in their wake.

Gemilang chief coach Mohd Ramlan Mohd Farookin paying tribute to his players, said they will now have to train harder for the grand finals as the best from across the country will be competing.
"It will be impossible to expect the exponents to repeat their performance from here in the grand finals but I am targetting three gold medals which I believe are within reach," said Ramlan, a former national exponent.

"We came with a squad of 35 exponents and many of them competed for the first time yet we are returning with 21 medals and this is all due to the hard work of the players and the commitment of their parents," said Ramlan.

"They train thrice a week and we went into intensive mode for the Nestle Koko Krunch Junior Taekwondo Championships two months ago," added Ramlan, who was assisted in coaching duties by brother Najib Ali.
 Terengganu-based clubs also took the runners-up positions in both categories, with Bersatu second in the boys classification with three gold medals and Koryo Pahang (2-4-5) third.

Second in the girls' classification were Teguh with a haul of 1-2-3 while Speed Power finished third with 1-2-0.There was additional cheer for Bersatu and Speed Power as Iman Firdaus Nasiruddin and Nur Izzati Damia were picked as the best male and female exponents, respectively.

Pahang Youth, Sports and Culture Committee chairman Datuk Wan Adnan Wan Mamat officiated the closing ceremony.

"I am proud to see exponents as young as seven competing. Exposure is very important if Malaysia wants to win medals at the world stage," said Wan Adnan.
Cereal Partners Malaysia country business manager Nirmalah Thurai said the response to the championship - 386 exponents competed - was proof that taekwondo can produce medals winners at the highest levels.

"We are convinced, based on the quality of competition, that the future is bright for these exponents," said Nirmalah.

All the gold medallists in Kuantan will join the northern zone winners and pit their skills against exponents from Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Negri Sembilan, Malacca and Johor.
