Best No 7

This time i would like to post something about Japan's pride. Since i study at Japan. i have watched a lot of baseball game. So, i decided to write about this man, Daisuke Matsuzaka which is a Japanese baseball player. Daisuke Matsuzaka was born 13 September 1980 in Aomori, Japan. He is a starting pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. He previously played for the Seibu Lions in Japan's Pacific League. He was selected the MVP of the inaugural and the second World Baseball Classic, and is an Olympic bronze medalist.



After graduating from high school, he was taken by the Seibu Lions and started his professional career. He was selected for the Nippon Professional Baseball All-Star Game in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2004, 2005, 2006. He also was voted for MVP of the 2004 game. At November 2006, he sign the contract with Boston Red Sox and be a Major League Baseball player. I heard from my friends that his amount of the contract can buy a one baseball club in Japan. See, how amazing him until Boston are willing to spend a lot of money just only want to get his ability.



The latest achievement when he with Japan baseball team won the 2009 World Baseball Classic at the final againts Korea. He playing a key role as they successfully defended their title. He also won his second World Baseball Classic MVP award. He is one of Japan's pride. eventhough I am a foreigner, i also admire him because he bring Japan name at the international level. He can be a good example to the other. See you guys next time..:-D

Hello everybody!! Yesterday, i watched news and the news told about a latest achievement by Roger Federer. So i decided to write about him. Roger Federer born on 8 August 1981 which is a Swiss professional tennis player. He is a former World No. 1 ranked player, a position he held for a record 237 consecutive weeks.



Federer holds numerous records in the sport, including 14 Grand Slam men's singles titles (3 Australian Open, 1 French Open, 5 Wimbledon, 5 US Open), equalling the all-time record with Pete Sampras. Federer is only the sixth male player to achieve a career Grand Slam and the only player in history to reach the final of each Grand Slam tournament at least four times. Federer has made it to an unprecedented 20 consecutive grand slam singles semi-finals starting with the 2004 Wimbledon Championships, progressing to the final 17 times in that timespan with the only exceptions being the 2005 French Open, the 2005 Australian Open and the 2008 Australian Open. In addition, Federer has won 12 grand slam singles titles during this timeframe.

Federer has his own tight rival, name Nadal.Federer and Nadal have been playing each other since 2004, and this rivalry is a significant part of both men's careers. They are the only men in the open era who have played each other in 7 Grand Slam finals, with Nadal leading 5-2.Their 2008 Wimbledon final has been lauded as the greatest match of all time by many long-time tennis critics, while many critics consider their rivalry to be the greatest in tennis historyNadal leads head-to-head 13-7.



Federer is widely considered to be the greatest tennis player of all time. No doubt about it. He has a good hand that not all can have it. based on his achievement, he deserved to be one of world class athletes. So, see you guys next week..:-)

Hello everybody. I'm so sorry because late to write a new post. Lately I'm so busy with mt mid term exam and make preparation for Hokudaisai ( festival in Hokkaido University ). So,this time i will write about this man, Tiger Woods. I bet everyone must know him, right? But correct me if I'm wrong..:)..Tiger Woods is an American professional golfer whose achievements to date rank him among the most successful golfers of all time. Currently the World No. 1, he was the highest-paid professional athlete in 2008, having earned an estimated $110 million from winnings and endorsements.



Woods started to play golf since 2 years old. While attending Western High School in Anaheim at the age of 15, Woods became the youngest ever U.S. Junior Amateur Champion. Tiger Woods became a professional golfer in August 1996. Here is something interesting about him. He began his tradition of wearing a red shirt during the final round of tournaments, a link to his college days at Stanford and a color he believes symbolizes aggression and assertiveness.

He won PGA tour 66 times, won European tour 36 times, won Japan Golf tour 1 time. Woods also became the first golfer to win four PGA Tour events five or more times. In winning the U.S. Open in 2008, he became only the sixth person to win it three or more times, the first person to win a PGA Tour tournament on the same course seven times, and the first person to win two tournaments at the same golf course in the same season.

Best No 3

This time, i think every one know this man. He is the fastest man in the world. The man that i mean is Usain Bolt, Jamaican man who the holder of the Olympic and world records for the 100 metres at 9.69 seconds, the 200 metres at 19.30 seconds and along with his teammates, the 4x100 metres relay at 37.10 seconds. Those glory happened at the 2008 Summer Olympics.



Bolt became the first man to win all three events at a single Olympics since Carl Lewis in 1984, and the first man in history to set world records in all three at a single Olympics. His name and achievements in sprinting have earned him the media nickname "'Lightning' Bolt"Hhe comes from a standard family and hope with this achievement, he can change his family life. The latest achievement that he did at the Manchester when he break the record of 150m at 14.35 seconds and its show that accidebt that he faced before it can't stop him to run more faster.



I think we can see how he have a high spirit to win and be a fastest man in the world. He did a really good job and deserved to be world class athlete.

Ronaldo began his career as a youth player at Nacional and his successes with the team led to a move to Sporting CP two seasons afterwards. Ronaldo's precocious talent caught the attention of Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson and he signed the 18-year-old for £12.24 million in 2003.

In 2008, Ronaldo won his first UEFA Champions League title, and was named the final's man of the match. He was named the FIFPro World Player of the Year and the FIFA World Player of the Year, in addition to becoming Manchester United's first Ballon d'Or winner in 40 years.
