DAVID BECKHAM: FOOTBALL PLAYER OR FASHION MODEL?

When in 1995 a 19-year-old young player came out the United's bench to replace United's star Eric Cantona nobody could imagine that a new era was about to start. His name: David Robert Joseph Beckham. Since this very moment David Beckham, aka Becks or Spice Boy, would become the cornerstone of a team that would dominate European football in the coming years. Beckham was born in Leytonstone, London, England; the son of a kitchen fitter and a hairdresser. His parents were fanatical Manchester United supporters. David inherited his parents' love of Manchester United where he would play for 11 years. In 2003 David signed a four-year contract with Real Madrid although it was speculated that Real's desire to sign him came from the merchandising opportunities he would bring as well as from his football ability. After 2 fruitless years in Madrid he finally won the Spanish League last season. On 10 January 2007, after prolonged contract negotiations, Real Madrid announced that Beckham would not remain at Real Madrid after the end of the season.On 11 January 2007 Beckham announced that he had signed a five-year deal to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy beginning 1 July 2007. On 13 July, he was officially unveiled as a Galaxy player in a ceremony at the Home Depot Center. Married to pop star Victoria, Beckham is considered by many more of a model than a football player. David is constantly sought after by clothing designers, health and fitness specialists, fashion magazines, perfume and cosmetics manufacturers, and hair stylists and is the face of companies such as Pepsi, Adidas, Motorola, Gillete y Volkswagen. Beckingham Palace is the name of David's mansion in England. Beckhingham Palace is often visited by David's close friends such as Tom Cruise, Elton John or Robbie Williams

This blog is intended for lovers of sport and beauty. Here you'll find nice picture galleries and videos related to either sport or beauty or both of them. This post is about the Swedish heptathlete Carolina Kluft who has just revalidated her World Champion title in the World Championships in Athletics which are taking place in Osaka, Japan in August 2007. Carolina has scored 7,032 points. Congratulations Carolina!!. The nice looking pigtailed, baby-faced athlete is made of Swedish iron. Carolina tests herselft to the limit in every championship. Carolina Kluft runs faster, jumps longer and throws farther than any of her competitors. Carolina has become the third women ever to break the 7,000 point barrier in the heptathlon. The Swedish heptathlete signed a contract to become the new face of Reebok for the coming years. The first thing Carolina asked Reebok representatives was whether or not they use children to produce their gear. They said they don't. Anyway Carolina told them she will visit Reebok's factories just to be sure. On March 19, 2008 Carolina announced she would not contest any heptathlons in 2008 and so, wouldn't defend her title at Beijing, stating that she was no longer motivated to train for and compete in heptathlons. Klüft decided to concentrate on long jump and also train seriously for triple jump. Carolina Kluft entered both the long jump and triple jump at the Beijing 2008 Olympics. Her best effort of 13.90m did not qualify her for the triple jump final and she ended ninth in the long jump with a result of 6,49. Carolina, don't worry and keep trying because whatever your results we'll always love you.
