On the Championship press conference

On the Championship press conference, I told him two things impressed, rye is a glass on his desk Ireland, second, he answered a reporter's question.

That is the purest black beer Guinness in the world. Darren Clarke also drank a deeply at a press conference. In accordance with established practice, twice British Open champion a press conference, once in the competition, once in the morning on Monday, after the veteran comrades took the Championship, starting with the first press conference to the second press conference, drink all night until the reporters will stop cups only half an hour ago. This is a pride.

Another thing is the guardian correspondent to laugh at yourself. The reporter had written articles from previous years that Darren Clarke to die, this time on the first press conference, the reporter sat in the following, asked : " before there are some journalists who think you are stupid out of something.

Darren Clarke said, " Let me try to remember what you wrote the article, I remember this sentence in the article : Darren Clarke slide relentlessly into the dusty memories in the history of the original is he's in his inexorable slide toward irrelevance. The article I was still at home, if you do not believe it, I can find for you to see " and then Darren Clarke grabbed the Cup, added a sentence : this is a mirage? The line, continue to ask, I'm sorry "

I  think the old comraded well, gave each other's face, and proudly proved himself. It is no wonder that almost all the reporters were great supporters, long article praises, there, this guy won the British open, and is the traditional " people's champion " ring.

British Open twice Irishman Harrington

Northern Ireland is very small, in maikeduweier words, driving from South to North, as long as 90 minutes, from East to West, from border to border 120 minutes.

But in two years  Northern Ireland have been out of the three Grand Slam champions. Maikeduweier and Sammy McIlroy won the us open for two years, now turn to Darren Clarke. However, Darren Clarke believes that encouraging him instead of the two large wheat but 2007,2008 year win the British Open twice Irishman Harrington.

Darren Clarke's win also confirmed anecdotal one : Tiger not emerged to see Ireland. Indeed, the Tiger injured out Grand Slam to win Irish.

Harrington was disqualified from the Abu Dhabi

A television viewer phoned European Tour officials to explain they had noticed Harrington marginally knocking his ball forward on the par-three seventh green while replacing his marker during Thursday's first round.
The three-times major champion was playing the hole as his 16th having started on the back nine and eventually signed for a seven-under-par 65 to end the first day a stroke behind leader Charl Schwartzel.
As Harrington had signed for a 65 he is guilty under the Rules of Golf for signing for an incorrect score in that he should have called a two-stroke penalty on himself, for moving the ball.
"I didn't think it had moved but then I now get three days practice ahead me which is something I will enjoy doing," he laughed.
"I had a 20-footer and when I was picking up my coin and I clearly hit my golf ball, as I brushed it with my hand when I was picking up my marker.
"I looked down at the time and I established in the way I line up the golf ball that the ball had moved.
"When you look at TV footage it looks as though the ball rocks forward and then in slow motion it's pretty clear the ball has moved three dimples."
The incident only came to light early on Friday morning with Harrington due to commence his second round at 12.15pm (0815 GMT) local time.
It took officials more than an hour to study footage and assess Harrington's plight before he was informed of their decision.

High jump

MOSCOW - Pavel Karelin, Russia's leading ski jumper, died in a car crash on Sunday. He was 21.
"Pavel Karelin's tragic death is a huge and irreplaceable loss for Russian sport," the country's ski jumping federation said in a statement.
"He was the leader of our team; one of our big hopes (for the 2014 Sochi Olympics)," added Russian Olympic Committee department head Alexander Grushin.
Police said Karelin died in the early hours when his Mercedes collided with another vehicle on a motorway near Nizhny Novgorod, some 570 kms East of Moscow.
Karelin had competed regularly on the World Cup circuit. His best result was second place in Garmisch-Partenkirchen in January.
He took part in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, finishing 10th in the team competition and 33rd in the individual event.

Marathon

BEIJING -The 2011 Beijing Marathon saw the emergence of a new generation and the comeback of a veteran on Sunday.
Chinese runner Wei Xiaojie finished the race in two hours, 28 minutes and five seconds to win the host country's 20th straight title in the women's event, ahead of Tesemma Yeshi Esayias from Ethiopia and Kenyan veteran Catherine Ndereba.
The 22-year-old, who was exhausted after crossing the finish line, attributed her victory to a strong mindset.
"I was running after my teammate and everything went quite smoothly, but I lost my strength gradually in the last part, and finished the race with just my will power," Wei said.

"Also, I think the key to my success was my peaceful mindset," she said. "My coach told me to forget the rankings instead, conquering myself was the most important thing."
Though the gold was Wei's first medal in an international marathon, she said she was not satisfied with the result.
"I expected to reach the Olympic standard by running within two hours and 27 minutes," said Wei, who hopes to qualify for the London Olympic Games by performing well at the 2012 Chongqing Marathon, a selection event for the Olympics.
Though only finishing third, Ndereba, a silver medalist at the Athens and Beijing Olympic Games, said she was grateful to reach the finish line in Beijing after recovering from a muscle tear.
"First of all, thanks for giving me the chance to run in Beijing," said the 39-year-old, who broke the women's marathon world record in 2001, running 2:18:47 in Chicago.
"I am very happy with the result, because I was injured the whole of last year, and I hadn't completed a marathon since 2009," she said. "I was just hoping to have a good race. I can say I'm really happy with my effort."
Returning to Beijing, where she reaped her second Olympic silver, Ndereba said running around the course reminded her of her glory days, and now she is working hard for a chance to make the London Olympics.
"I'm hoping to keep myself in good health and I hope my federation will consider me to run for my country."
On the men's side, three Kenyan runners bagged the medals with Kiprop Francis Kipkorir finishing first in two hours and nine minutes. Mugo Samuel Muturi, the winner of the 2009 Beijing Marathon, and Barus Benson Kipchumba, winner of the 2011 Prague Marathon, took second and third respectively.
