Double world 10,000m champion Tirunesh Dibaba added the African title at the Addis Ababa stadium on Saturday. The 23-year old, made her move to the front at the 150m mark to take victory ahead of her sister Ejegayehu Dibaba in a time of 32:49. Ethiopian National champion Wude Ayalew came in third. Tirunesh says the three had a winning strategy from the start. [Tirunesh Dibaba, World 10,000m champion]: "While we were warming up we discussed that we would work to take first second third place, and everything happened as planned." The African Athletics Championships are held every two years. @@@@@@@ Now to Brazilian striker Ronaldo who expressed shame after an incident with transvestites in Rio de Janeiro last week. The AC Milan soccer star, who said the evening began after a "silly" fight with his girlfriend, gave the interview at his waterside home in Angra dos Reis. [Ronaldo, AC Milan] "This was the worst decision of my personal life, it took on a very big dimension and had worldwide repercussion. It will stain my personal life for ever." Police said Ronaldo went to a motel in Rio de Janeiro's upscale Barra da Tijuca neighborhood with three call girls only to find they were transvestites. And, finally, to India we go for a jump-roping feat fit for the Guiness Book of Records. Ranjit Paul, a body builder from northern Punjab has always dreamed of the spotlight so he set his sights on a target of 234 skips in a minute which he easily beat recording 255.
