2006 Formula 1 Season Blown Wide Open

Today, Micheal Schumacher won the 2006 Italian Grand Prix at Monza, becoming the first driver in history to win 90 races. The seven-times world champion also announced today that he would be retiring at the end of this season with the Brazilian Grand Prix on 22nd October set to be the last race of his career. I have been following the sport for the last 5 years, and Schume has been the reason I have fallen in love with the sport. I am not going to be too verbose, All I can say is that we will miss him, and we wish him and his family a very happy future. As for the remaining three races, they are going to be an awesome spectacle to watch. Hope Schume can pull it of in style. Go scarlets.

Andre Agassi

Today is the 3rd of September, 2006. Andre Agassi's tennis career came to an end today. Benjamin Becker of Germany defeated Agassi 7-5, 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-5 in the third round of the U.S. Open. It was a good match that Agassi nearly controlled. In his tearful goodbye speech Agassi said:

"The scoreboard says I lost today, but what the scoreboard doesn't say is what it is I have found. Over the last 21 years I have found loyalty; you have pulled for me on the court and also in life. I have found inspiration. You have willed me to succeed, sometimes even in my lowest moments. And I have found generosity. You have given me your shoulders to stand on to reach for my dreams; dreams I could never have reached without you. Over the the last 21 years I have found you and I will take you and the memory of you with me for the rest of my life."

Have a good one man.
