Usain Bolt won the 200 meters World Championship title in Moscow, in a relatively slow time — 19.66 seconds. He actually ran a pretty good race, and started slowing down 50 meters from the finishing line as Warren Weir manage to reduce the gap between them to just 0.13 seconds. It was Bolt’s third consecutive World 200m title.
I was amazed to see Borussia Dortmund thrash Augsburg 4-0 in an away match a few days back. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang showed his class en route to his fine hat-trick. Lewandowski converted a penalty (earned by Jonas Hofmann) in the closing minutes.
Signing Aubameyang for only €13 million was indeed a brilliant move by Jürgen Klopp. The Gabon international proved his worth in his first two competitive matches for BVB. I’m now looking forward to seeing another new signing, the man supposed to be the direct replacement for Mario Götze, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, play his debut match for Dortmund.
Okay, so Usain Bolt won the 100m final again in the World Championships 2013 in Moscow. He ran the distance in 9.77s. As you can judge from this post, posted minutes before the start of the race, I was expecting big things from the Jamaican. For example, a sub 9.70s, if not a sub 9.60s, run. Little did I know about the rain, which literally single-handedly ruined the pace of the sprinting event, with only 2 men running under 9.90 seconds.
Whoooo! Usain Bolt just came to the track in Moscow in World Athletics Championships 2013 to compete for the final of Mens’ 100m sprint, having run a 9.92 seconds in his semi-final. With a 9.85 seconds season-best performance, he clearly doesn’t look as fast as he did when he broke the world record with his 9.58 seconds run back in 2009 in Berlin. Then again, he’s Usain Bolt. I can’t predict a single thing except that he’ll win the race tonight. Maybe a new world record on its way… 😉
I watched the 2013 German SuperCup final between Borussia Dortmund (the team I support) and Bayern Munich. Yesterday was saturday, so choosing to watch the match till 2 A.M. wasn’t a hard decision.
I can say that it was worth the time. The match was incredibly pacy, with Jurgen Klopp’s men dominating over Bayern, who seemed to try Tiki-Taka, which I hate.
Incredible performance from Marco Reus, as well as Ilkay Gundogan. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang stole some spotlights with his speed and that assist to Reus, coming on late in the second-half.
I found it funny when Van Buyten courageously netted the swirling ball into his own net. 😀
Awesome final overall. The die Schwarzgelben deserved the win. 🙂
BVB Goals: Reus x2, Van Buyten (Own Goal), Gundogan
