World @ Tokyo2020 Olympics!!

Its 5 rings Time!!!!

World @ Tokyo2020 Olympics!!

Hello!

 

Many of you might be a Travel enthusiast! Any guesses? How many countries will particiapte in Tokyo olympics? 

205 countries qualified out of 206.

This may sound wiered, because total countries in the world is 195! 

So, how can 206 countries participate in Tokyo when only 195 really exist? Well, simply not all countries participating in Olympics are really countries!

Simple! IOC takes the final call on who participates in Olympics.Each body or state is called NOC i.e National Olympic Committee. For Example, the Indian NOC is  Indian Olympic Committee. So 206 are nothing but 206 NOCs.

It includes 193 UN member countries, 1 Non-member observer country of Palestine,9 Dependent territories of American Samoa,Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands, Hong Kong, Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Guam, Aruba and Puerto Rico, 2 Partially recongized states of Chinese Taipei or Taiwan and Kosova and 1 Almost-independent state of Cook islands.

Around 11,000 atheletes are expected to compete in Olympics this year!

No matter of geo or cultural background of an athelete, it gives the feeling of belonging to one beautiful blue planet!

Messi's Special gift for 'Didi' !!

Barcelona captain Lionel Messi has sent a special gift for the West Bengal chief minister - a signed Barcelona jersey, with "DIDI".

The signature blue and red number 10 jersey has been worn by players like Diego Maradona, Romario and Ronaldinho.

Lionel Messi sent the signed club jersey for Ms Banerjee via Barcelona Legends last week. The team came to Kolkata last Friday for a friendly match against Bengal's own Mohun Bagan. 

FC Barcelona Legends Juliano Belletti and Jari Litmanen handed over the jersey to the Football Next Foundation organizers after the match. 

"They couldn't hand it over to Ms Banerjee personally, so they gave it to us. We have approached the CMO. Whenever Ms Banerjee agrees to meet us, we will hand it over to her," Kaushik Moulik, founder of the football foundation, said.

FIFA U-17 World Cup 2017 !! India !

Waka Waka ... This time for India!!!

Long wait comes to an end !!! India on world football stage !! 6th OCT 2017 to 28th OCT 2017!

Tweet using #BackTheBlue Show your support

For Amarjit Singh Khiyam and the 21-member India U-17 squad, the long wait is over. In April 2015, German Nicolai Adam was appointed as coach. He stressed on the need for foreign exposure. Since then they have travelled to four continents and visited 18 countries. Their last visit was to Mexico in August—September. 

They have played more than 100 matches and travelled more than 200,000 miles. No team in the history of Indian football has been so well prepared. The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has spent a colossal Rs 15 crore on their preparations, which includes the salaries of Adam and coach Luis de Norton Mattos of Portugal appointed in March 2017

As dusk descends on Delhi on Friday 6 October, deep lying midfielder Amarjit will be India’s first World Cup captain in their first match versus USA in the FIFA U-17 World Cup at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Delhi. The 10 other players, who will walk out proudly in front of the Prime Minister, Narender Modi, the FIFA secretary Fatima Samouri and the president of the AFC Sheikh Salman, will also be the first Indians to play in a World Cup. History will always remember them fondly.

Facts about Micheal Jordon !!!!

Here are some great facts about this basketball legend that you didn’t know that makes him even more awesome

The night before the Olympic final, Michael Jordan apparently spent the night drinking and gambling all night, then he went on a long day of press appearances, plus 18 holes of golf in Barcelona before he went on to lead Team USA in a gold-medal winning victory over Croatia 

• Michael Jordan's best friend is the limo driver who gave him a lift when he first arrived in Chicago back in 1984
•  After Michael Jordan scored a game-high 69 points, teammate Stacey King quipped “I’ll always remember this as the night that Michael Jordan and I combined to score 70 points”
•  Michael Jordan donated his first year’s salary with the Washington Wizards ($1,000,000) to victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
• Michael Jordan’s “Jumpman” logo is actually a silhouette of a photograph of MJ performing a ballet move, not an actual dunk.

Rafa returns to No 1 !!!!! But Race Narrows down on US Open Clash !!!!!!!!!!!!!

       Rafael Nadal returned to the top of the ATP Rankings on Monday for his fourth stint as the World No 1. Nadal, who had already spent 141 total weeks at No 1 in the past, replaced Great Britain’s Andy Murray, who had held the top spot for 41 weeks since 7 November, 2016.
The Spaniard first rose to No 1 on 18 August, 2008 at the age of 22, and he last held top spot three years and 45 days ago on 6 July, 2014.

"Being No 1 after all the things that I have been going through the last couple of years is something unbelievable, so [it] is, for me, an amazing achievement to be back to that position after [a] few years, three years," Nadal was quoted as saying in an official press release by the ATP. 

Murray has the most points to defend and will at least need to reach the semi-finals to stay in contention if all three players make the second week of the Slam. If either Federer, Nadal or Murray win the title, that player would be crowned No 1 regardless of how the other two fare.
The other scenarios depend on how far each of these players progress — Federer will need to get a better result than Nadal to be No 1. Here's a look at the number of points a player receives for every round at a Grand Slam.
