Kenya's Marathon Champion Sammy Wanjiru Dies

Sammy Wanjiru is an athlete who especialized in long distance running. He had broken so many world records specially on half marathons and accomplished so much at an early age.

He won the Beijing Olympics in 2008 to become the first Kenya's marathon champion to win a gold medal.
The following years, he won the London and Chicago Marathon to have the fastest long distance records on both countries(United Kingdom and United States).
He was the youngest runner to win 4 major marathon Series.

Just recently found out about his death couple of days ago on the news after falling from the balcony at his home in Nyahururu. Authorities are uncertain about his death and unable to categorize whether its Suicide,accidental or homicide.

I think he will be remembered deeply by his people and throughout the world for his incredible talent and will become a true inspiration for all of us.

The Longest Tennis Match in the history

the Longest tennis match in the history happened in 2010 Wimbledon. John Isner of United States won the battle against Nicholas Mahut of France on the first round of Wimbledon. It took about 11 hours and 5 minutes over the course of three days (June 22-24). It lasted so long due to being suspended because of Darkness in two nights. We all know that tennis don't deal with time limits. The score of the tennis marathon was6-4, 3-6, 6-7 (7), 7-6 (3), "70-68" in the final set. We got a new world record...lol..I don't even remember what was the record before that, I think it was Mcenroe versus someone.
I play a lot of Tennis, and to hear something like this is insane..hehe.
John Isner did not pass the second round and was actually taken out quickly (6-0 6-3 6-2) by Thiemmo de Bakker. I guess its understandable how much the match took out of him. At least his not leaving Wimbledon empty handed, he's name is in the history as the winner of the longest tennis match.
here's a video of John isner guesting on David Letterman
