World 200 meters silver medalist Usain Bolt
always thought he could be a fast 100 metres runner.
Convincing his coach took some time. His bargaining chip
turned out to be a 200 metres run, the coach, Glen
Mills, told Reuters this week as he reviewed the
21-year-old's stunning 100 metres of 9.76 seconds last
Saturday. Bolt, the world junior 200 metres record
holder, ran his first professional 100 metres last year
in Greece, clocking 10.03 seconds. The coach agreed Bolt
would run the shorter race early this season for
experience and speed work.

Former West Indies batsman and current regional Under-15
coach Keith Arthurton has called on the West Indies
Cricket Board (WICB), to keep the side together for
further development programmes. The buoyant Arthurton
was still basking after West Indies beat Pakistan by 89
runs, in the final of the CLICO International Under-15
Championship, at the Queen’s Park Oval on Sunday. “They
played like true champions. The batting was disciplined,
the fielding was very good and the bowlers bowled the
correct line and put the ball in the right places.”

Lyon fined for Ronaldo laser beam
By bbc - Thursday 20th March 2008
|
Uefa has fined Lyon £2,520 after Manchester United's
Cristiano Ronaldo was targeted with a laser pen during
their Champions League tie last month. The incidents at
the Stade Gerland both before and during the first leg
of the Champions League last-16 tie on 20 February were
reported by United. And Uefa's Control and Disciplinary
Committee imposed the fine for "incidents of an
unsporting nature". There was no suggestion Ronaldo's
health could have been affected. Uefa made
the decision after studying reports from referee Luis
Medina Cantalejo and Uefa delegate Jan Damgaard. The
game ended in a 1-1 draw but United went through 2-1 on
aggregate.
