The adventures of Duracell Bunny and Pocket Rocket Man

Squash queen Nicol David and national cyclist Azizulhasni Awang were named the Sportswoman and Sportsman of the Year (2010) at the National Sports Awards night hours ago.

Nicol is nicknamed Duracell Bunny while Azizulhasni is our Pocket Rocket Man (no relation to Rocket Singh).

See how a handful of men try to scare Nicol by doing the Haka during the Cayman Islands Open and what Azizulhasni endured when a large splinter pierced through his leg at the Track World Cup in Manchester recently.

Well done to all those who won.

But the question that lingers on the minds of many...is the National Sports Awards becoming a boring and predictable event? Hmm...

UPDATE (11.30am): "And at the same time please change how the awards are presented as it's the same for donkey years, no progress in terms of making it lively, boring is the key word. " So says SS Dhaliwal, based on his posting Sheer Waste of Money.

  3. I have to agree with you bro. The awards are very boring. I couldn't wait to get home but had to sit through the whole process as I was seated with some VVIP.

    On another note, your mentor does have a good blog but he keeps stealing stories from foreign websites and newspapers. No wonder he is afraid to allow comments on his blog

    see below for examples
