England torn between sporting heroes
From this highoctane weekend of rampant adrenalin, deafening roars, ferocious cornering, burning rubber and that's just the front row of the England scrum one small man should emerge from the mountain of bodies, machines and hyperbole as the nation's hero. Jonny Wilkinson or Lewis Hamilton. Either, neither, both? It is a fair calculation that when the dust, and teeth, settle on the rugby pitch in Paris and the wheels stop turning at Interlagos, Brazil, one of these formidable sportsmen will be hailed as our nation's darling.
Weirdly, they have much in common. Raised in Hampshire and Hertfordshire respectively, Wilkinson and Hamilton are hardly the products of inner city hunger. We have blamed leafy suburbia for years for denying us a Wimbledon champion, then all of sudden it produces two of the most monstrously talented and massively motivated sporting superstars this country has ever known.
Not least among their attributes is courage. They are in very dangerous sports, where collisions can be shattering, paralysing or worse. But neither is a blubbing prima donna. While that pantomime villain and Hamilton's socalled teammate, Fernando Alonso, has been strutting and fretting with a foiled superiority complex, the British driver has been mature, measured and resolute. Wilkinson is being hailed the world over as England's saviour and yet he retreats into a hermitlike anonymity the instant his work is over.
"He probably enjoyed himself for what 15 minutes before beginning to think about the final," England defensive coach Mike Ford revealed after the dramatic semifinal victory over France. "I've never worked with anyone like him."
Above all, both men have the uncanny ability to be still, to be calm, to be calculatingly intelligent when all around them are crashing beasts and revving engines. It is a mirage "I don't think I've ever played a game when my heart wasn't racing. People might not think I look nervous but the reality is different," said Wilkinson but it is a mirage of incalculable importance. From this still central core stems the confidence of the entire team that surrounds them.
But who would have thought that anyone would catch Lewis, least of all some old crock who was probably in traction when Hamilton was winning his first grand prix of the season? That Wilkinson has arisen from his physio's couch to walk, let alone play in the final of the Rugby World Cup at the Stade de France, is almost incomprehensible. A month ago he was rattling around a hotel in France, nursing an injured ankle to add to his collection of physical breakdowns that included knee, shoulder, arm, kidneys, appendicitis and a hernia. For four gruelling years, since the last World Cup, the 28yearold has been under the knife and the sword of Damocles simultaneously. Any minute we expected the announcement of his retirement and a move to the knacker's yard of the commentary box. But it didn't happen.
As for the England rugby team, any minute we expected their great hulking frames to be bowed down in the cheap seats of a crossChannel flight after ignominious departure from the tournament. But that didn't happen either.
Wilkinson was repaired and England miraculously reborn as a band of behemoth brothers intent on salvaging their tattered reputation. It all comes down to this one match against the huge, hard favourites, South Africa. England will either fall like a felled oak at the final hurdle or surf the momentum all the way to outlandish victory.
Barely will the levels of shock and awe have subsided to governmentrecommended guidelines than young Lewis will take up the cudgels, aspiring to become the youngest Formula One champion in history against a rogue's gallery of characters trying to stop him. There can scarcely be a household in the country that is not laying in siege supplies of tranquillisers, beer and blindfolds to get through the next 36 hours.
We are unprepared. No one saw this coming. We were three quarters of the way through the year, and the BBC (on this issue only) could rest easy. Their Sports Personality 2007 was assured. Hamilton was an ironclad certainty. He led the drivers' championship in his rookie year from the third race of the season. Young, handsome, modest and eerily efficient, he went from 0mph to 200mph in terms of professional esteem and public recognition. It was over. Jonnycomelately changed all that.
There is still no downside to the Hamilton story (if you discount global warming). Named after the American Olympic sprinter Carl Lewis, he grew up with similarly welldeveloped ambition. "On the pitch he was a leader," said the coach of his junior football team, Bedwell Rangers. He signed for the McLaren driver development programme at the age of 14.
Eight years later he is the youngest driver ever to lead the race for the world championship. Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna are mentioned in the same breath. It is a ludicrous plot line. Disney would throw it out.
He has waded through a set of ridiculous controversies, including the jealous enmity of Alonso, the swingeing punishment of his team, McLaren, for allegedly stealing secrets from rivals Ferrari, and the goading buffoonery of the head of Spanish racing, Carlos Garcia, who tried to introduce an apartheid note to proceedings when he said: "It's ironic that the racists in England are now having to rely on a coloured driver."
It was an absurd and classless observation, as are so many in F1, a sport in which all sorts of political motivations obstruct the common decencies of life. No doubt Senor Garcia was trying to add to the white noise of confusion in Hamilton's inexperienced head.
But Hamilton does not have an inexperienced head. He probably didn't have one as a toddler. He was born ready, very much like Wilkinson: ready to assume the heavy responsibility of trying to be as good as he could be. It has caused the rugby man no end of pain down the years, not just from his breakages and maulings, but from a mind that would not release him from obsession.
Even this week he has said: "I'm struggling to enjoy this occasion." He is the highest points scorer in the history of the World Cup, he is revered to the point of worship by rugby fans, male and (for their own reasons) female, he is popular with his team and feared by opponents, and he has found no enjoyment in any of it. Not quite true. "I am enjoying being here on this fantastic adventure with a fantastic group of blokes." He can be happy with and for others, but relentless with himself.
One way or another, by Sunday night the wondering will be over. Fate or a pit stop or a Springbok shaped like a boulder will decide which of two richlydeserving characters the country most takes to heart. If England become the first team in history to retain the World Cup and Hamilton fails to win the championship, it will be Wilkinson. If Lewis becomes the youngest F1 champion of all time and England lose to South Africa,[url=http://www.sport.fr/economie/airmax.html]air max pas cher[/url], it will be Hamilton. If both lose, the nation will be in too much mourning to care. But if both win, the hysteria will be pronounced, ongoing and break every harmful drinking code the government has ever issued.

Scandals such as don't bomb Xie Changting cable "President election&quot,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych];
2007-07-17 12:08:02
social commentary in the Hongkong on 17 July, and Xie Changting should be involved in recent years, "fraud" most "presidential" candidate, whether out of ten cases, nine cases were four cases,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], like don't bomb, as long as any prosecution, Xie Changting afraid would have faced back selection pressure, so these scandals day not been clarified,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as in "Xie Changting cable selected 'President'".

Any judicial cases, as long as there is new evidence, we can re investigation, Xie Changting was a lawyer, should know this truth,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but Xie Changting now how many cases in the hands of the special investigation group, Xie camp also would not hesitate to say: "we don't know!" Obviously,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in the face of these legal cases, is "the enemy in the dark".
Xie camp evaluation, the special investigation group to restart the Yuhuang palace is the case,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], prosecutors special fee in order to balance the Ma Ying-Jeou case, had to pull Frank Hsieh.

now and Xie Changting about the case, including the Bank of Kaohsiung, board re election of six standard CR7 Gao Jie public standard engineering case, Yuhuang palace political donations, unified dream times square case and the Kaohsiung dome BOT case, Xie Changting to run for president,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], should clearly explain white, but not before the foreign threat "not as unfair judicial endorsement", or "special fee only promise prosecution to step down", "repeated shaping judicial injustice" image.
Xie Changting certainly can defend their own rights and interests, but to "justice." as a self cleaning action, a little wisdom, Democratic Progressive Party being in power for nearly eight years, husband also questioned the special investigation group of blue green full support, detached, not only for their rulers took a BA zhang.
