BLANKA VLASIC BEAUTIFUL HIGH JUMPER

Dear readers of sport&beauty. As you will have noticed, sport and beauty are often closely related. That’s the reason why today we’re going to talk about one of the most beautiful female athletes in the world. Besides having dangerous curves, she’s a great athlete, has won many important competitions and is an icon in her country. Today’s post is dedicated to Croatian high jumper Blanka Vlasic. Here you are Blanka Vlasic, a real champion of beauty in and out the athletic track.

Croatian high jumper Blanka Vlašić was born on November 8, 1983 in Split (a Croatian city located on the Adriatic coast) when Croatia was still a Republic of the former Yugoslavia and there were eight years to go before the outbreak of the war in the Balkans. Blanka’s father, Josko Vlasic, was a decathlete that participated in the 1983 Mediterranean Games held in Casablanca representing Yugoslavia. It seems that Josko got lured by the Moroccan city to the extent that he decided to name her newly-born daughter after the African city. Out of curiosity we’ll say that the Vlasic family is an unusual case in the world of sports since father and daughter are national record holders. Josko holds Croatia’s decathlon record since 1984. Blanka Vlasic is naturally gifted for high jump as she’s 193 centimetres tall and weighs 75 kilos. As you can see this Croatian beauty looks nice from the front and the rear. What do you think the Chinese judge in the last picture is looking at??

Let’s review Blanka’s athletic career. Aged only sixteen, Blanka unsuccessfully participated in the 2000 Sydney Olimpics. Four years later and aged twenty, Blanka participated in the Athens Olympics obtaining the same bad results than in Sydney's. However, Blanka’s breakthrough was in 2004 when she won the gold medal in the Junior Athletics World Championships and the broze medal in the IAAF World indoor Championships. In 2006 Blanka finished 4th in the high jump final of the European Athletics Championships held in Goteborg being the first woman not to win a medal after having jumped more than 2 meters high. Blanka managed to jump 2.01 meters but she needed more attempts to make it past the bar than the bronze medalist winner, gorgeous Swedish athlete Kajsa Bergqvist. Here you are some more pictures of Blanka.

In 2007 Blanka managed to jump over 2 meters high in seventeen out of the nineteen outdoor meetings she participated and made some unsuccessful attempts to break the world record set in 2.10 meters. Blanka won almost every outdoor meeting she participated in and she was only defeated at the Opening meeting of the Golden League held in Oslo. Although she won the remaining Golden League events, this defeat caused her not to get the $1 million jackpot won by other athletes such as Russian pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva and American runner Sanya Richards. Her big break came during the IAAF Outdoor World Championships held in Osaka ( Japan) in 2007 where Blanka won the gold medal with a jump of 2.05 meters. In October 2007 Blanka was recognized by the European Athletes Association as the best female Athlete of the Year being the first Croatian athlete to receive this award. Even when competing, Blanka never forgets about fashion. Have a look at her navel piercing and her nails painted in red matching the red bottom.

In 2008 Beijing Olympics, Blanka suffered her first defeat in thirty four events and probably the most bitter defeat in her long and successful career. She lost to Belgian Tia Hellebaut (the one wearing glasses and looking like a nerd). In spite of the fact that both of them made it past the bar set at 2.05 meters, Blanka needed two attempts while the Belgian had enough with only one. As both of them failed to overcome the next height Blanka finished second winning the silver medal. Anyway, I bet she’ll take revenge in the 2012 London Olympics winning the gold medal and breaking the world record. To finish today’s post I’ll leave a slideshow with some pictures of Blanka Vlasic and a video of this beautiful Croatian woman where you can check that, besides being a great athlete, she could also be a good dancer. Best regards.

The Equator's long 125.9-inch wheelbase contributes to comfort and stability, while its 206.6-inch overall length (Extended Cab or Crew Cab with standard bed) provides a good balance of maneuverability and utility. Available for serious off-road duty is a comprehensive system with four-wheel active limited-slip traction control, an electronic locking rear differential, Vehicle Dynamic Control, Hill Descent and Hill Hold Control. Transmission choices are a five-speed manual (standard with the four-cylinder only) or a five-speed electronically controlled automatic, with or without available shift-on-the-fly 4WD with an electronically controlled part-time two-speed transfer case. of torque, while an optional 4.0-liter DOHC aluminum block V-6 ups the ante to a more robust 261 hp and 281 lb.-ft.

Standard engine is a 2.5-liter DOHC four good for 152 hp and 171 lb.-ft. The available Premium, Sport and RMZ-4 packages include cruise control, power mirrors, locks and windows and remote keyless entry, while a Sport package adds eight-speaker-plus-subwoofer Rockford-Fosgate audio with steering wheel controls, a six-CD changer, XM Satellite Radio, an auxiliary input jack, wireless Bluetooth and, on the Crew Cab RMZ-4, even a factory moonroof.

Of course, the wide range of available accessories includes specialized bed components for securing and transporting a motorcycle or ATV a relatively simple task. Extended Cab and Crew Cab models offer an available "high-utility" bed with a spray-on bedliner and a cleverly useful tie-down system with adjustable tracks. A set of unique Suzuki styling elements-including the hood, front fenders, grille, bumpers, front fascia and tailgate-differentiate Equators from their Nissan Frontier cousins. Beyond that, very few of today's pickup alternatives are fuel-efficient compact or midsize, and this very competitive new Suzuki Equator line provides another set of excellent choices. It's available for 2009 in Extended and Crew Cab, short- and long-bed and rear- or four-wheel-drive (4WD) variations.

Suzuki says this new Equator, developed as a joint effort with Nissan North America-and named "4X4 of the Year" by 4-Wheel & Off-Road magazine-offers a well-rounded blend of comfort, style, utility and off-road capability, and we can't argue. Come to think of it, why has Suzuki, known better to most Americans for its motorcycles, ATVs and boat motors than for its cars, brought a new pickup to market at all? truck sales were tanking due to high gas prices? Why has small-but-growing Japanese automaker Suzuki brought a new midsize pickup truck to market just as U.S.

Trendy And Elegant Cars Of Suzuki Kizashi 3 Concept

Suzuki is also leaving on the table the possibility of future hybrid and clean diesel versions of the car. Under the bulging hood, the concept adopts a 300 horsepower naturally-aspirated 3.6-liter V-6 that is teamed with a paddle-shift six-speed automatic gearbox and uses an Advanced i-AWD (All-Wheel Drive) system that is the beneficiary of the company’s success in racing. Kizashi is Suzuki’s first glance at the third phase in their ‘Way of Life’ global strategy, which started in 2004 with the launch of the first tagline, which was ‘sportiness’. That’s further emphasized by Kizashi 3’s wide track, muscular stance and, at the very least, the image of upscale performance. The oversized, 21 inch aftermarket wheels add plenty of style, though the huge brake rotors partially hidden behind the spokes communicate an underlying athletic theme Suzuki was seeking.

In attractive silver paint, a somewhat Audi-inspired, large metallic crosshatch grille and a wide and muscular stance, this concept looks to be all business. In Japanese Kizashi translates to something like “foretaste.” With the bold-looking Kizashi 3, the first attempt by Suzuki to take on the midsize car market is a serious look at what the future may hold. The typically economy car producing company already has plans for a Nissan Frontier-based truck and judging by recent marketing ads is attempting to remake the image of their SX4 as a viable Mini alternative. Vince Vaughn quoting aside, Suzuki’s all out offensive into previously unthinkable areas of auto making continues with the third concept in their latest series of prototypes; the 2009 Kizashi 3.

BEAUTIFUL GIRLS KIM KARDASHIAN

Dear readers of sport&beauty. Today we’re going to present one of the most beautiful women in the world. She’s an American TV personality and socialite and perhaps the curviest woman on Earth. Do you already know who she is? A couple more hints. She’s a good friend of Paris Hilton and her father was O.J. Simpson’s attorney. I think it’s enough. Today’s post is dedicated to the American model, celebrity, socialite, entrepreneur, actress, and TV personality Kim Kardashian. Here you are American bombshell Kim Kardashian. I really love her curves and so does she.

Kimberly Noel Kardashian was born on October 21, 1980 in Los Angeles, Califonia, United States of America. Kim is daughter to Robert Kardashian, an attorney in law of Armenian origin, and Kris Houghton. Kim has two sisters (Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian) and one brother (Robert Kardashian). When In 1989, Kim Kardashian’s parents got divorced, her mom became Kris Jenner ( because of her marriage to former Olympic gold medalist Bruce Jenner), and Kim added a sizable set of stepbrothers (Burton and Brandon Jenner and reality star Brody Jenner) and stepsisters (Casey Jenner, Kendall Jenner, and Kylie Jenner). As her father was quite a wealthy man, Kim grew up in a privileged environment attending the best schools, eating at the best restaurants and wearing clothes from top brands and fashion designers.

Because of their posh and lavish way of life, the Kardashian family have always been surrounded by celebrities and Kim Kardashian is intimate friend with Paris Hilton with whom she used to attend each and every party in Los Angeles. Although Paris may have contributed to boost Kim’s fame, the Hilton heiress is just one of many Kim Kardashian’s distinguished friends.

Kim Kardashian’s prívate life might well deserve to be plot for a film. Kim has been romantically linked to pop star Nick Lachey, rap star The Game, actor Nick Cannon, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and R&B producer Damon Thomas to whom she was married between 2000 and 2004. In April 2010 Kim became apparently involved with Portuguese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo with whom she was seen making out at a restaurant in Madrid. After that, she dated Dallas Cowboys player Miles Austin until August 2010 although she has admitted that she and Austin are indeed dating. However, it was her relationship with R&B member and former Kim's boyfriend Ray J which drew attention from the media and the great public. Their relationship came to light when the yellow press started to report that one of the videotapes recording their relations had been leaked. In spite of the fact that, in the beginning, Kimberly denied the existence of such a videotape, in the end it was confirmed when the tape was sold to Vivid Video for $1 million. Although Kim Kardashian herself was suspected to have leaked the videotape, she hurriedly denied that either her boyfriend or she had been involved in its sale and distribution. Kim sued Vivid Entertainment for ownership of the tape but finally dropped the suit settling with Vivid Entertainment for $5 million.

In 2007, Kim started dating NFL star Reggie Bush whom she met at the ESPY awards ceremony. The couple broke up in July 2009 although they came back in October. Apart from the videotape affair, Kim Kardashian also posed for a sultry editorial in the 2007 December issue of the Playboy magazine. Kim said it hadn’t been a comfortable experience and she was sorry about it claiming that had been urged to do so by mother Kris Jenner to promote their "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" TV show. Nevertheless, Kim felt more comfortable when she did the same for Harper’s Bazaar. Anyway Kim Kardashian likes to show off her curvy body and she’s very proud of it. Kim has also tried her luck as an actress starting with a small role in the TV series “Beyond the Break”. From October 2007 Kim is the star of the family reality show “Keeping up with the Kardashians” and in 2008 she participated in the role of Lisa in the film “Disaster Movie” and in the chapter “Benefits” of the TV series “How I met your mother”. Here you are Kim’s filmography:

2007 – present: “Keeping up with the Kardashians” as Herself

2008: “Dancing with the Stars” as Herself, “Disaster Movie” as Calvin's girlfriend, Lisa

2009: CSI: NY as Debbie Fallon (1 episode), Deep in the Valley as Summa Eve, Beyond the Break as Elle (4 episodes).

Besides being a socialite, actress, and TV star, Kim Kardashian is also a successful entrepreneur and is co-owner of DASH, a clothing boutique placed in Calabasas, California, that she owns together with sisters Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian with whom Kim has launched a clothing line for bebe. They are working on a new clothing line called K-Dash to be released in September 2010. Kim Kardashian has her own perfume, named after her, that was launched in February 2010 and together with her sisters has reached an agreement with cosmetics retailer Sephora to market their new “Kardashian Glamour” sunless tanner. Kim together with Khloé are writing a book entitled "Kardashian Konfidential". The book that is due to be released in November 2010 will be about their childhood, their beauty and their style secrets. Kim is also producer of SPINdustry, a TV reality show about Command PR, a public relations company based in New York. On May 2, 2008 Kim Kardashian launched a DVD containing fitness exercises and titled “Workout with Kim Kardashian” and a bunch of her workout cards produced in cooperation with Kath Kaehler. She also went into the Internet world as in March 2009 Kim launched shoedazzle shopping, an online personal advisory service about the latest in footwear fashion. As you can see tireless Kim Kardashian never stops giving birth to new ideas and projects. We are going to finish today's post leaving a slideshow with the best Kim Kardashian pictures and a video of this American stunner so you can enjoy and admire her. Best regards.
