Hamilton Makes History

England's Lewis Hamilton is only 23-year-old, but he achieved what others only dream of. Hamilton, who drives for McLaren, has created history in Formula One, by becoming the youngest world champion despite his fifth position in the Brazilian Grand Prix. He took the crown, thanks to his grit and determination. Hamilton, considered by many as the first black driver in Formula One, told journalists, "It's pretty much impossible to put into words how I feel. I'm speechless. It has been such a long journey and I am thrilled to be able to do this for everyone." I wish him all success, good luck, and greater achievements.

I wish I were in his position ! What an effort ! Yves Rossy, who is a Swiss pilot, inventor and aviation enthusiast, proved that everything is possible in this world. Rossy created history when he became the first person on the planet to have flown a jet engine-powered wing strapped to his back. He has done this stunt several times successfully. So are you going to follow in his footsteps ?

Is It Worst Drubbing In History?



Bulgaria's national women's ice hockey team went down 0-82 to Slovakia in their final fourth match at a tournament in Latvia recently - one of the most one-sided matches in the history of sport. After reading this line, some readers will say 'hahahahahaha', while others will argue why the team was sent to take part in the event? Quite pathetic to see such a score-line. So incompetent that they failed to score a single goal. Still, I wish them all the best for the future!
