Sports and fun can never be seen apart for they exude a kind of joy that keeps your body fit conjointly the practice and training session will make the boxer a champion. When we talk about the practice and training sessions there are several in-depth things to be conversed and one such imperative matter that should be talked is the boxing safety accessories. <b>Boxing</b> is a sort of martial art where fighters literally thump each other and strive to flatter the adversary. <br />
<br />
This, itself states that there are loads of possibilities to get injured hence safety should be given priority. Poles apart acquiring quality boxing accessories are also a part of the nature. This particular sport necessitates quality <b>safety accessories</b> along with the general corporeal training. The reason behind the imperativeness of quality is because the injuries which are to be had while boxing are quite large in number. <br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The safety gears should bear those kicks along by staying aside as a back up to support. When the products don’t stand out for quality then there are several chances for the boxer to get hurt which may even result in life jolting situation. Now, let us see the list of safety equipment that is required, while training this particular sport? There are different types of <b>boxing equipment</b>, let us see what are the most important accessories that are unavoidable when the boxer is on track!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We all know that it is a game that is filled with blows and punches so the very first accessory that would be the <b>boxing gloves</b>. Only a quality glove will protect your knuckles and there are lots of chances to break the hand bone if the glove doesn’t stand for quality. Hand wraps are also preferred by most of the boxers to be on the safer side. Recent days almost all gloves have thumb attachment. Have a look at the different types of gloves but make sure that you get the one that best fits your hand. Too tight and too loose glove may be a hindrance for your blows.</div>

<b>Punching bags</b> are a very significant boxing accessory that plays an essential role in a professional boxer’s practice sessions. It is great <b>boxing equipment</b> for fitness strength training. They are not only used in boxer’s training sessions but also in gyms for working out, carrying out physical exercises etc. They are mainly used in boxing sessions for improving the boxer’s agility, stamina, power, punching technique and strength.

For ages now <b>sports</b> complete us as human beings. It is not just another entertainment factor. It teaches a lot regarding how to lead one's life and battle life itself as it is. It incorporates tremendous character aspects and sportsmanship within us. It also helps us to understand and persist along with groups and strive harder at what we need to achieve for our own self satisfaction. Life as such is pretty complicated as it poses several obstacles in front of us every single day. These obstacles are not that really hard to jump over. However, one needs to face it boldly and give it their best shot and not lose ways just because they attained failure.</div>

<b>Boxing</b> is a tremendous sport in that aspect. It is one among the toughest sport one can pursue. But it is certainly a great sport for the kind of individuals it has developed over the years. <b>Boxing</b> teaches a lot about patience and taking in hard blows. Life has always been the case of survival of the fittest and it lays several punches on everyone's faces. You need to take it, stand up again and fight with your heart. It helps you to mature as a human being. Of course, every time you step into that ring, you are bound to lose and get injured badly. But victories and the way you fought your losing games are the ones that are bound to stick in your memory for years to come.</div>
<div align="justify">
All said and done, boxing is a very dangerous sport. It requires years of training and patience to perfect or master the art of boxing. You need to dedicate yourself entirely and be determined to make the final cut. Do not ever give up. At the same time, hard work alone isn't enough. You need to do smart work. Being brave and courageous doesn't mean you fight valiantly without <b>protective gears</b> to prove how strong you are. You need to adhere to safety precautions and take good care of yourself while you fight. Train harder on boxing equipments to master the way you move around quickly, block blows and deliver powerful blows as well. In the end, though the sport demands tremendous physical strength, it is a mind game after all. You need to believe in yourself and stay focused and confident.</div>
<div align="justify">
Protective gear is very essential for you to safeguard yourself. You are bound to get hurt and without these precautionary steps, your injuries might turn out to be career threatening and even death under worst case scenarios. Also you need quality boxing gear in order to fight professionally. The better the sports equipments, the better will your training be and more safeguarded you are while you take blows. If you are planning to buy them online, www.ambersports.com is the way to go. You have high quality boxing gloves, boxing apparels, training equipments, boxing shoes etc. You name it, you've got it. Also you are liable to get special discounts on bulk orders and then again you always have off season sales for your convenience. </div>

Five-time <span style="font-weight: bold;">Common wealth Games</span> gold medallist <span style="font-weight: bold;">Alicia Coutts</span>, whose mum lives at Birkdale, has booked her ticket in the Australian swimming team with exciting wins in the 100m butterfly and 200m individual medley at Australian Swimming Championships in Sydney on the weekend.<br />
<br />
Coutts, who used to train in Cleveland and was the 2010 Telstra Swimmer of the Year, beat Olympic champion Stephanie Rice (2.10.41) by 0.35 of a second in the final of the 200 entity medley in a time of 2.10.06.With just 0.04 of a second sorting out the pair at the final turn, Coutts, who has never won an Australian title before, said she had to dig deep to steal the win from Rice, last year's Australian title holder and the former world record holder in the event.<br />

Coutts has now booked her ticket to the 14th FINA World Championships in Shanghai next month.<br />

The 2011 Australian Swimming Championships began this morning, with three-time Olympic gold medalist <span style="font-weight: bold;">Stephanie Rice</span> as the main draw. Rice, who has struggled since winning the 200m IM, 400m IM and 4x200m freestyle relay in Beijing, had shoulder surgery last year after chronic pain enforced her out of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">2010 Common wealth Games</span> in August. She arrived at the Sydney Aquatic Center fitter than she has been since the 2008 Olympics, and she is ready to prove it here.<br />
<br />
In the first session of beginning heats, Rice competed in the 100m butterfly and the 200m IM, qualifying for tonight's semifinals in both. The finals will be Saturday night in Sydney. Australia’s team for the 2011 World Championships in Shanghai will be selected here, with the top two finishers in each event qualified for a spot on the team. But head coach Leigh Nugent has added a twist: a separate list of qualifying times based on the top 12 world rankings.<br />
<br />
Swimmers must beat the qualifying times to be named to the team, regardless of finishing in the top two. Nugent established the harsh selection process to support contest, after a 2010 season where Australia didn't have a single swimmer ranked No. 1 in the world for the first time in 20 years.<br />
<br />
The other big story in Australian swimming isn't developing here, but in southern Switzerland, where Ian Thorpe is training. The five-time Olympic gold medalist announced his return in February, but Thorpe can't compete until he has finished nine months on the drug-testing roster. That makes him eligible on Nov. 2, and he's expected to make his debut at the World Cup in Singapore Nov. 4-5.<br />

A judge is currently taking into consideration whether former Harvard student <span style="font-weight: bold;">Brittany J. Smith</span> can legally be tried for her involvement in the May 2009 Kirkland shooting, despite the non-prosecution agreement she signed in July 2009.<br />
<br />
Smith was indicted on six counts—including accessory after the fact of murder, illegal possession of a firearm, and willfully deceptive a grand jury in March 2010. Prosecutors claimed that she had lied to investigators, thereby violating the terms of the non-prosecution agreement they had made with her in replace for her cooperation against the three other defendants in the case.<br />
<br />
However, Smith’s attorney has argued that the state does not have grounds to revoke its agreement, and Smith should not be allowed to stand trial. With Smith’s trial date set to begin in less than a month, the question of whether she can be prosecuted in this case has still not been settled by a judge.<br />

Riding on her Swiss Open victory, ace Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal has regain the number three place in the latest world ranking. Saina, who missed a couple of tournaments early in the year because of a nagging ligament injury and then suffered early exits from the Korean Open and the All England Championships, serrated up her first title of the season in Switzerland last week.<br />
<br />
The 21-year-old now has 69721.2637 points in her kitty and is currently behind Shixian Wang (83506.4) and Yihan Wang (73988.9106) at one and two respectively. The Swiss Open title was her third Grand Prix Gold title win after Chinese Taipei (2008) and the Indian Open (2010). The girl from Hyderabad also won four Super Series finals in Indonesia (twice), Singapore and Hong Kong over the last two years. In men's singles, Commonwealth Games bronze medallist P Kashyap was at the 21st place with 38415.2559 points, while Ajay Jayaram moved to 28th.<br />
<br />
Anand Pawar and Arvind Bhat are at 42nd and 45th spot respectively. Commonwealth Games gold medal-winning women's doubles pair of Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa drop one place to 19th spot, while Jwala and V Diju slipped two spots to 18th in mixed doubles. In men's doubles, Rupesh Kumar and Sanave Thomas jumped seven places to be positioned just outside the top 20 bracket at 21st place.</div>

The local favourites will be out for revenge with the ladies' singles berth this time going to former British Isles fours champion and TLH employee Terri Kennard. Kennard faces Amy Banes while Swale's former Torquay star Gordon she beat Bellamy in the singles twelve months ago will contest the fours and play opposite young Ryan Whitlock.<br /></div>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03940906520440945062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4301499921333184490.post-86072091270210589602011-03-22T15:30:00.001+05:302011-03-22T15:37:13.709+05:30UNE softball kicks off TCCC play this week<div style="text-align: justify;">Spring has returned, and with it the start of the University of <span style="font-weight: bold;">New England softball</span> season.The Nor’easters, who have played in Florida for their first 10 games of the season, kick off their TCCC schedule on Wednesday at home in a double-header against Western New England College. Expectations are high with the 2011 Nor’easters (5-5), who were rank third in The <span style="font-weight: bold;">Common wealth</span> Coast Conference (TCCC) pre-season poll, and return with a mix of youth and experience.<br /><br />UNE had a successful season for first-year head coach Dan Letellier last year by finishing 25-14, good enough for second place in TCCC take part before being knocked out in the play-in round of the playoffs. The Nor’easters won 10 of their first 13 games of the season, showing their depth by winning despite key injuries to players such as senior first baseman Angie Damon, who led UNE with a .356 batting average on the year.<br /><br />“I’ve been preaching to them all year, we’re a 19-man roster,” Letellier said last season. “It was just a matter of getting some people a few rest, getting people at-bats, because you never know when you’ll need them.”Letellier returns for his second season, and will have a new assistant coach in Courtney Wallace. She is aa Bonny Eagle High School graduate who recently completed her softball career at Pine Manor College in Chestnut Hill, Mass. Wallace completed her career as the all-time hits leader for the Gators and was a four-time selection on the Great North Atlantic Conference (GNAC) team as a catcher.<br /></div>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03940906520440945062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4301499921333184490.post-1085346585622040022011-03-21T16:32:00.001+05:302011-03-21T16:42:11.477+05:30Whitten's winning ways bringing in big bucks<div style="text-align: justify;">Which comes first, the elite Olympic athlete or the comprehensive, well-funded program that produces the elite athlete? For the Canadian Cycling Association, the answer is: <span style="font-weight: bold;">Tara Whitten.</span> It’s also Zach Bell. Canada heads into this week's UCI World <span style="font-weight: bold;">Track</span> Cycling Championships in Apeldoorn, Netherlands, led by the present male and female World Cup champions in the Omnium, a two day event comprise six track racing disciplines. For the 30-year-old Whitten, 2010 was a breakout year. The Edmonton resident won gold medals in the Omnium and the point’s race at the World Track Cycling Championships in Denmark in March, for starters.<br /><br />Then she collected four medals, including gold in the women's road time trial, at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India, in October. Bell, a world championship silver medallist in 2009, won a Common wealth bronze in the Scratch race. This season, Whitten and Bell, 28, both completed on the stage in the three World Cup competition they entered, with a gold medal by Whitten in her gruelling specialty at the Beijing event. Which was noteworthy, if only as a point of contrast with the state of Canada's track cycling transportation at the Beijing Olympics in 2008, where Canada won no cycling medals.<br /><br />So strapped was Team Canada at those Olympics, that when Martin Gilbert's bike was damaged, he had to borrow one from the Danish team to compete with Bell in the Madison event. At the Athens Games in 2004, Edmonton's Lori-Ann Muenzer won a gold medal in the women's sprint with wheels rented from the Australian and French teams. But, when you win, Canadian funding flows, particularly when you win medals at the Olympic Games. One year out from the 2012 Summer Games in London, Canada is, pardon the expression, right on track, led by Whitten and Bell, a converted wrestler from Watson Lake, Yukon.<br /></div>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03940906520440945062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4301499921333184490.post-31830045518727017682011-03-18T15:24:00.001+05:302011-03-18T15:29:59.437+05:30Canary Wharf Squash contenders ready for battle<div style="text-align: justify;">Top class squash returns to the East Wintergarden next week when some of the best players in the world battle it out to win the ISS Canary Wharf Squash Classic. This year's tournament promises to be one of the best, with World Champion Nick Matthew hot favourite to retain the title he won in style last year. He faces hard contest, not least from fellow-Yorkshireman James Willstrop, a three-time Wharf winner, as well as former world number one Gregory Gaultier of France.<br /><br />Tournament co-organizer, and former World Champion, Peter Nicol is excited about the quality of the players on show, particularly the currently domineering Matthew - who also won the Common wealth Games title last year, and is ranked number one in the world. Nicol said: "He's a very impressive young man. Nick's got the physical attributes. He's tall, strong, and he's learned how to play squash better and better. He's a extraordinary guy and a amazing squash player.<br /><br />"Unless he goes victorious all year, he can't top this year. He'll be looking to do what he's done every year and improve and learn as he goes forward and stay on top."It won't be easy for Matthew, with abundance of other top players out to steal the crown he won for the first time last year. One of those is three-time Wharf winner James Willstrop,"James is hugely talented," said Nicol."On his day he can beat anyone, although he really struggles against Nick Matthew. He'll be looking to get through to play Nick, but there are a few obstacles on the way.<br /><br />"The guy who's coming back from injury and was world number one for a short time is Greg Gaultier. You can't write him off, and after a long break he's getting back into it. He'll be physically good, spiritually fresh, and he's always difficult to beat. Then there's Peter Barker, who has improved a lot and made a few semi-finals in major events. It's his home venue, although he hasn't always done mainly well here. He made the semis last year, and has a lot of capacity. If he believes in himself he can take the next step to get into finals and then win them.<br /></div>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03940906520440945062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4301499921333184490.post-47082562997441222302011-03-17T17:02:00.001+05:302011-03-17T17:12:09.553+05:30Old guards miss place for Games<div style="text-align: justify;">The national amateur boxing side coach <span style="font-weight: bold;">Pimentel Hurtado</span> has named 19 new faces in his 20-man provisional squad for the All-Africa Games planned for Maputo, Mozambique in September. The Cuban coach, now in his second year in charge of the team, has retained only one boxer from the team that competed in the 2010 Common wealth Games in New Delhi, India. For the first time in more than 40 years, Tanzania’s envoys to the Commonwealth Games failed to win a single medal.<br /><br />It was the country’s most unsatisfactory outing in the Games since boxer Titus Simba won the country's first silver in 1970. Unveiling the team yesterday, Hurtado named Suleiman Kidunda as the only pugilist old guard in his squad. Kidunda is said to have attracted a panel of coaches named by the Boxing Federation of Tanzania (BFT) to assess the pugilists after some impressive performance during the National Championship in Dar es Salaam newly.<br /><br />Hurtado said indiscipline was a major factor behind the failure of most boxers who represented the country in the 2010 Games to earn a recall to the team."It’s nearly one and a half years since I was unveiled as the national boxing team coach. I have been with the team since September 2009. “A few days before heading to India for the Common wealth Games, I noted that some of my boxers were unmanageable. Thus the BFT I and agreed on picking only the boxers who are disciplined for the All Africa Games and other international competitions,” he disclosed.<br /></div>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03940906520440945062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4301499921333184490.post-44909019495502629162011-03-16T16:54:00.000+05:302011-03-16T16:57:40.578+05:30Daniel Repacholi named Cessnock City Sportpserson of the Year<div style="text-align: justify;">Delhi <span style="font-weight: bold;">Common wealth Games</span> bronze medal winner <span style="font-weight: bold;">Daniel Repacholi</span> was named Cessnock City Sportsperson of the Year 2010 at the gala presentation night held at Cessnock Supporters Club last Friday night.

The event is a qualifier for the 2012 London Olympics. The 28-year-old fitter by trade will be up against some of the best shooters in the world. Cessnock Archery Club member Matthew McDougall was named the junior spot winner after one more planetary year of performances, winning the 3D Archery Association National Championships along with the State title.

The <span style="font-weight: bold;">Delhi High Court</span> Tuesday granted bail to <span style="font-weight: bold;">Binu Nanu</span>, an official of a private firm who was held in legal custody for his taking part in the Rs.600-crore overlays agreement for the <span style="color: red; font-weight: bold;">Common wealth Games</span> last year. Justice Ajit Bharihoke allowed the bail application of Nanu on a personal bond of Rs.50,000 along with two sureties of like amount. He was arrested Jan 18.'Binu Nanu is granted bail as he has finished 57 days in judicial custody,' the judge said. The court asked Nanu to submit his passport to the trial court and to join the investigation whenever the Central Bureau of Investigation called him. It also told him not to try and tamper with evidence.<br />
<br />
The court said he was released on bail because CBI officials submitted that they were not filing a charge sheet against him within the stipulated 60 days from the date of his arrest. The CBI officials said they did not require Nanu's custody anymore because they had already investigated into the matter and questioned his employees, said Justice Bharihoke.Nanu, the director of event management company GL Events-Meroform, said in the bail plea that he was remanded to judicial custody by a lower court on the finish of his four-day custodial questioning by the CBI.<br />
<br />
The CBI Jan 12 searched the offices and residences of Nanu and many others after it registered a case in the alleged overlays scam.'Nanu's wife Roopana is also one of his links in the business,' the agency said.The case, the fourth in connection with the Games, was registered against former Games Organising Committee director general V.K. Verma. The CBI alleged that Verma and others enter into a 'criminal conspiracy' with managing directors and directors of private companies in the award of contracts for overlays for different venues of the Games at 'exorbitant rates'.<br />
<br />
The overlays contracts are also under the scanner of the Income Tax department and the Enforcement Directorate. The overlays incorporated supply of tents, pre-fabricated units, portable toilets, containers, security fences, furniture, public display LED boards, floor finishes, material handling equipment, gensets, cabling, air-conditioners, lighting, civil construction and exercise equipment.</div>

We set out a programme of work, but most of what we've been doing during the year, as well as recruiting people, is understanding better the task that we've got to do and a huge amount of that understanding and knowledge move takes you to re-phasing your work."So we haven't missed milestones, we've re-phased a lot of our work and the reason we do that is to make sure we don't recruit people any earlier than we need to, or spend money any earlier than we need to.<br /></div>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03940906520440945062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4301499921333184490.post-21040550371029430932011-03-11T17:23:00.000+05:302011-03-11T17:27:03.758+05:30DDA builds giant steel sundial near elevated road<div style="text-align: justify;">Months following the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Common wealth Games 2010</span> got over, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) is still completing Games projects. The latest is the beautification of the stretch under the Barapullah elevated road. The land agency, which had elaborate plans to build cycle tracks, urban plazas, walking trail entire with wooden street furniture along the 4.6km stretch, is starting off with a sundial. The giant sundial is being constructed in the space where the elevated Barapullah starts with a slip road on the Sarai Kale Khan ISBT side. Scheduled to be completed by next month, the sundial will be the focal point for the entry to the important road.<br /><br />Said DDA spokesperson Neemo Dhar, "The work has already started. We hope that the construction will be completed by mid-April." The sundial, to be made of steel, has been planned by experts from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi. Added Dhar, "Since the sundial is a giant structure, we needed to bring in experts from outside who would build an instrument similar to that at Jantar Mantar." The steel dial, measuring 40 feet or 12 metres, is to come up on many pillars that will support the structure. DDA officials claim it's the first steel sundial in the country, with others being made of brick and mortar.<br /><br />The experts from IIT were specially called in to construct the foundation on which such a huge structure would come up, added officials. Interestingly, the decoration of the stretch, along with the sundial, was originally scheduled as a Games project. The land agency had even set aside Rs 25 crore as funds, and had planned to divide the scenery based on the demography of the colonies the elevated road would be going through. The sundial was to come up as a reflection of India's heritage.<br /></div>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03940906520440945062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4301499921333184490.post-34468575525544458962011-03-08T14:12:00.001+05:302011-03-08T14:15:42.857+05:30Saina geared up for All England Championship<div style="text-align: justify;">After making it to the last-four phase in 2010, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Saina Nehwal</span> aims to go all the way this year in the All England Badminton Championships. With 5 titles leading up to the first shuttle event, India's brightest badminton star desires to make history by winning the coveted title, a feat no other Indian woman has accomplished..<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Prakash Padukone</span>, hailed as the best ever Indian shuttler, has won the World Cup, the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Common wealth gold</span> and many more titles. He was even the world No. 1, but the 55-year-old is always remembered for winning the All England title. So is Saina's coach Pullela Gopichand, who is the only other Indian to achieve this amazing honour. Such is the trend for this Super Series premier, which kicks off on Tuesday that sports buffs describe it as the 'Wimbledon of badminton'.<br /><br />Though she refuses to accept it, Saina has got the best possible draw with Wang Yihan being the only Chinese player in her half. The news that Yihan had injured her knee tendon would only bolster Saina's chances. The cross-border rivals are likely to meet in the quarters. If Wang opts out and with defending champion Tine Baun of Denmark pulling out due to a heel injury, Saina's first big test could come only in the final.<br /><br />But the world No. 5 says getting past the first two rounds will be quite tough. Saina will open against Seung Hee Bae of Korea and is likely to face Tai Tzu Ying of Chinese Taipei in the second round. "Bae is very athletic on court. She picks up everything and makes it tough for the opponents. Ying is a classic player with all kinds of strokes. On paper it may appear easy, but for me both are very strong opponents. I have to produce my best to beat them," Saina said.<br /><br /></div>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03940906520440945062noreply@blogger.com0
