Statistics of the Week

January (SMail 2)

Sven Hannawald became the first ever ski jumper to win all Four Hill meets in the same season, icing the Grand Slam with an emphatic victory that included an improvement of his own hill record at Bischofshofen.

Hannawald's first ever Four Hill victory came at Bischofshofen in 1997/1998. Effectively, his victory in Innsbruck already meant a place amid the elite group of jumpers that have notched career victories at each of the Four Hills, a group that consists of just seven jumpers. He came back to the place of his very first World Cup victory exactly four years ago and as a prize he won a car. After his incredible success, which happened in the 50th edition of the tournament Hannawald was almost speechless and just said: “I am very, very proud that it was me who managed to break the jinx of the 4-Hill-Tournament.” His trainer Wolfgang Steiert said that winning this Grand Slam is the greatest thing that can happen in an athlete's career as well as in a trainer's career. Even so, according to statistics Hannawald still has three more successful German jumpers ahead of him. Here comes the text referring to the first Statistic...

China are most keen on clinching their first Winter Olympics gold medal, having claimed fourteen medals of another colour as of now. The elusive gold may very well come in Short Track Speed Skating.

No other country has won more than nine medals of another colour than the coveted gold before they reached their first Winter Olympic grand prize. Second in this respect are mighty Norway, who won five silver medals and four bronze medals before Jakob Tullin Thams got them their first gold in the 1924 K90 Ski Jumping competition. China need only two gold medals to roar into the top twenty of the all time medal table and their short track speed skaters can make it happen.

March (SMail 13)

Michael Schumacher is on the brink of achieving yet another milestone in a brilliant career. He can become the second driver in F1 history to complete a century of podium finishes by placing among the top three in the forthcoming Grand Prix of Brazil.

Schumacher already owns the record of most career Grands Prix won at 54. In addition, he has finished second on 29 occasions and third sixteen times. The only driver with more champagne showers to his name is Alain Prost, who reached the podium a total of 106 times.

Recap: Schumacher would go on a record breaking spree in a truly phenomenal 2002 season. This particular total reached 114 at the end of the season, since the sensational German did not fail to reach the podium in any of the 17 races in 2002. Prost's record was broken in the Grand Prix of Great Britain on July 7.

April (SMail 16)

Richard Gasquet became one of the youngest winners of a men's singles match in an ATP tournament when he defeated Argentina's Franco Squillari in the first round of the TMS Monte Carlo Championship.

Gasquet, only 15-years-old, was the same age to the day as Andre Agassi when the Vegas Kid recorded his first victory in an ATP singles championship. No other Frenchman has recorded an ATP triumph at such a tender age. The youngest ever winner of a men's singles match on the ATP Tour is John Austin, who notched a first round victory in Cincinnati in 1971. At the time, Austin was just fourteen.

May (SMail 20)

Real Madrid secured their ninth Champions Cup victory by defeating Germany's Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 at Glasgow's Hampden Park. Thanks to Real Madrid's victory, Spanish clubs have now won more Champions Cup/Champions League titles than clubs from other countries.

Real Madrid took the early initiative and with less than ten minutes gone a swift throw-in by Real's Roberto Carlos was met by forward Raúl who wasted no time in slotting the opening goal past a stunned Hans-Jörg Butt. Thereby Raúl became the first ever player to score in more than one Champions League final. He also scored the third goal in their victory against Valencia CF in 2000.

It took Leverkusen five minutes to clear the cobwebs, but after having done so they managed the equaliser fairly rapidly. A Bernd Schneider free kick was headed in by Bayer's Brazilian defender Lúcio, who shook off those who were guarding him to score the 125th goal in the history of Champions Cup/Champions League finals.

But it was to be Real who would prevail and it would turn out that Madrid had got their money's worth in signing French mastermind Zinedine Zidane. The elegant midfielder blasted in a Roberto Carlos cross on the brink of halftime to give Real the lead. By scoring what turned out to be the matchwinner, Zidane became only the thirteenth player in history to have won a continental and intercontinental trophy with both club and country. He joins countrymen Didier Deschamps and Bixente Lizarazu, but he is the only player of the thirteen to have won the club prizes with two different clubs. Zidane had already won the Intercontinental Cup with Juventus shortly after arriving in Turin in 1996.

June (SMail 23)

In the first week of the World Cup various milestones were recorded, with perhaps the most interesting being the 1800th World Cup goal and the 100th dismissal.

In extra time of their encounter with Brazil poor sportsmanship from the Seleçao's Rivaldo resulted in a dismissal for Turkey's Hakan Ünsal, who had vented his frustration by drilling the ball into the Brazilian's leg who promptly simulated being hit in the face.

A more jubilant occasion was the eighteenth century of goals in the World Cup, attained in the match between the United States and Portugal. Portugal's Beto was the goal scorer as the Europeans started mounting a comeback. However, it would not result in a turnaround like the Portuguese had managed in 1966, when they defeated North Korea 5-3 despite a three goal deficit early in the game.

July (SMail 27)

For the second time in history Luxembourg will be the starting point of the Tour de France, having also served as the launch pad for cycling's main event in 1989. The capital of the grand duchy is the first city across the French border to host the start of La Grande Boucle more than once.

In 1989, the prologue, first stage and second stage (a team time trial) all had the finish line drawn in Luxembourg. In 1947, the city on the River Alzette hosted the finish of the third stage of the Tour of that year, which was won by Italy's Aldo Ronconi. The nation that brought forth former Tour de France winners François Faber, Nicolas Frantz and Charly Gaul joins Germany (Saarbrücken) as the only countries other than France to welcome the Tour this year.

The last stage winner in Luxembourg was Spain's Miguel Indurain who won the ninth stage time trial there ten years ago. Indurain still holds the record of most consecutive Tour victories with five. Defending champion Lance Armstrong can come within striking distance of equalling that record with a victory this year. The Texan can join Indurain, Eddy Merckx and Jacques Anquetil as the only riders to have captured the yellow jersey in four consecutive editions of the Tour, if he succeeds in taking the "maillot jaune" to the Champs Elysées once more.

August (SMail 34)

The international media are hailing the United States as the odds on favourites to win the men's basketball world title, but statistics suggest Russia and Yugoslavia are also in with a chance.

Judging by world championship results against other participants at this world championship, Yugoslavia should be considered the top challengers. The reigning champions have won 77.6% of their world championship matches against this year's participants.

Based on all-time victory percentage in this event, Russia have a slight edge over the Yugoslavs and Americans. The tournament will be tipped off on Thursday in Indianapolis.

The best represented nation in the European 2002 Ryder Cup is Sweden, with Jesper Parnevik making his third appearance as one of captain Sam Torrance's selections. He is joined by countrymen Pierre Fulke and Niclas Fasth, who will both be making their debut.

Sweden are one of six nations from the European mainland to submit players to the team since 1979, when continental Europeans first entered.

Thomas Bjørn is one of only six players to have won the Ryder Cup every time they have been selected to the team. Moreover, "The Great Dane" is one of only four to actually make a contribution on the course in the winning cause. The others are José Rivero (1985 and 1987), Per-Ulrik Johansson (1995 and 1997) and Philip Walton (1995).

October (SMail 42)

Paula Radcliffe won the Chicago Marathon in a world record breaking time of 2 hours, 17 minutes and 18 seconds, destroying the previous world record. She was exactly 89 seconds faster than the previous World best mark also set at the Chicago Marathon one year ago. The holder of that previous record - Catherine Ndereba from Kenya - finished in second place more than two minutes behind Radcliffe.

In recent years, Radcliffe had been regarded as the best British athlete at the 5000 and 10000 metres, but major successes had eluded her. In 2000 and 2001, Radcliffe finished fourth at the 10000 metres at both the Olympic Games in Sydney and the World Championships in Edmonton.

This year however, things went much better for Radcliffe. In July and August, she won gold medals at the 5000 metres at the Commonwealth Games in Manchester and at the 10000 metres at the European Championships in Munich. Earlier this year in April, she made her debut at the Marathon in London, where she smashed the European record of the legendary Ingrid Kristiansen and was only eight seconds short of the world best.

FC Wil 1900 hammered hapless FC St. Gallen 11-3 in the Swiss Nationalliga A, resulting in the most productive match in 65 years at the highest level in Switzerland. The record is 17 goals and also involved a demolition of Sankt Gallen.

In the 1936/1937 season Lausanne-Sports steamrollered St. Gallen 15-2. The 11-3 is extraordinary given the fact that eight of the ten matches in which at least a dozen goals were recorded took place before the 1950s and no such event had taken place in the last forty seasons.

Mikhail Youzhny’s dramatic five set win over Paul-Henri Mathieu made Russia the latest country in Davis Cup history to win the coveted trophy after losing the doubles. France looked favourite to defend their title after Fabrice Santoro and Nicolas Escudé booked a five set victory over Marat Safin and Yevgeny Kafelnikov in the doubles on Saturday, but on Sunday Russia turned it around. Safin defeated Sebastien Grosjean to set up a deciding clash between the two twenty-year-olds Mathieu and Youzhny. The latter also made his own piece of history by becoming the first man in the 102 years of the competition to win a live fifth rubber in the final from two sets adrift.

In Memoriam: Sam Snead

Samuel Jackson Snead was born in Ashwood, Virginia, on May 27, 1912. He was the youngest son of five and it was through watching one of his elder brothers that he learned to play golf. He was not from a wealthy family and in his youngest years he made golf clubs himself from sticks and later used cast-off clubs. Once his name was made, many wondered how an autodidact could have developed such an elegant and mighty swing. The swing, a smile and an ever present straw hat would become Slammin' Sam's trademarks.

He won seven Major tournaments, a total that could have been higher if World War II had not caused 14 Major championships to be scratched. When the war started, Snead was just hitting his prime, which is confirmed in his lone British Open victory in 1946, the first Major following the war. In 1949 he won his first green jacket at the US Masters and extended his wardrobe in 1952 and 1954. His total of three victories at Augusta is topped only by Jack Nicklaus (6) and Arnold Palmer (4). He also won the USPGA Championship on three occasions (1942, 1949, 1951). His total of three victories at the year's final Major is topped only by Jack Nicklaus (5) and Walter Hagen (5).

Snead was ace when it came to representing his nation in the Ryder Cup. He captained the US team in two winning campaigns (1951 and 1959) and the first ever drawn match in the competition (1969). In total, Snead made seven Ryder Cup appearances, during which he played thirteen matches. Ten victories, two defeats and one halved match underline his superiority in the prestigious event.

He still holds the record for most PGA Tour victories with 81, eleven ahead of Jack Nicklaus and 47 ahead of the closest active player. When he left the Tour he became one of the founders of the Senior Tour where he continued his winning ways. When he won his last sanctioned title in 1982 he had scattered an estimated 135 victories over six decades (1936-1982). His eleven Tour victories in 1950 still marks the season record. He also became the youngest player to shoot his age at 67 and the oldest player to win on the PGA Tour at age 52, a feat that still stands.

Snead passed away in his Hot Springs, Virginia home four days before his 90th birthday.

In Memoriam: Fritz Walter

"Football is not only played on the ground", said Sepp Herberger once. The legendary German coach, who led West Germany to victory in the 1954 FIFA World Cup, made this remark to criticise his rising star Friedrich 'Fritz' Walter. Herberger accused the talented young player of ducking away when going for a header. Walter answered his critics by scoring three goals in his debut match for the Mannschaft against Romania (9-3) in July 1940. Two of these goals were scored with a header.

Fourteen years later, Walter was the central figure of Herberger's team that surprisingly won the World Cup in Switzerland. The 33-year-old striker, born in October 1920, captained the West German side to the final in Bern where they played the Hungarians, who had not lost a match in four years. When the two countries met earlier in the tournament, Ferenc Puskás' team defeated the Germans 8-3. After ten minutes in the final the Hungarians were cruising. Despite being 2-0 down, Walter would not give up though. He drove his men forward and in the dying minutes Helmut Rahn scored the winner. It was Germany's first World Cup win. A proud Walter, whose younger brother Ottmar also played in the final, collected the trophy.

In 1958, the reigning World Champions lost to host country Sweden in the semi-final. Walter, who scored 33 goals in 61 caps, retired a year later. Herberger did not accept his retirement. He seriously tried to persuade the then 41-year-old player to join the German team for the 1962 World Cup in Chile with no success.

After his international career, Walter was honoured for his achievements. He was voted into the German Team of the Century and was made honorary captain of the Mannschaft. His home town club 1.FC Kaiserslautern, the team he stayed true throughout his career, paid tribute to him by naming their stadium after him on his 65th birthday in 1985. His career was marred by the outbreak of the Second World War. Between 1942 and 1950 the German national team was not allowed to play international matches. Despite this gap in his career, Walter is one of the true legends of German football.

On June 17 Fritz Walter passed away aged 81 at his residence in Enkenbach-Alsenborn. It was during the World Cup and his beloved Germany were preparing for their quarter-final encounter with the United States. The old master must have been reassured by the thought that his nation was returning to the apex of international football.

Infostrada Sports Sportsman Of The Year – Mario Cipollini

In a year with great sporting events like the Winter Olympics and the World Cup football, many athletes can claim the title "Sportsman of the Year", yet only one truly deserves it: Mario Cipollini. Like a great wine, the Italian cyclist seems to get better with age. In his fourteenth season as a professional cyclist, the 35-year-old Italian was in a league of his own from February right down to October.

The first highlight of Super Mario's season came on March 23, when he claimed his first ever World Cup victory by winning Milano – San Remo. An emotional Cipollini declared that the win would forever change his life. However, the 'new' Cipo was back to his old tricks only weeks later, winning Gent – Wevelgem in April.

May and June saw Cipollini excel in the Giro d’Italia, claiming six stage wins, bringing his total number of victories in the Giro to 40, just one shy of the all-time record of the legendary Alfredo Binda. July should have been a relatively quiet month as the Acqua & Sapone team was not invited to the Tour de France but Cipo managed to make headlines once again, this time by announcing his retirement.

But his plans to retire were shortlived and in September he added another milestone to his list of honours, his first ever win in the Vuelta a España. He would go on to win two more stages in the Vuelta, bringing his combined total for the three major Tours to 55, ten short of record holder Eddy Merckx.

Yet Cipo was still not satisfied, and only the World Championships could quench his thirst for success. On the circuit of Zolder ‘Il Magnifico’ became the first Italian World Champion since Gianni Bugno in 1992, capping off a brilliant season.

Based on the number of wins this season, this was not even Cipollini’s finest year. But his wins this year were more important than in previous years, as is reflected by his UCI rank. Never before had he finished inside the top ten of the UCI ranking.

Infostrada Sports Sportswoman Of The Year – Serena Williams

The 2002 women's tour was dominated by the Williams sisters the whole year round. Three out of four Grand Slam finals featured both Serena and Venus and each final had the same outcome: Serena winning in two sets.

Serena started the year with a minor set back in the January. She was forced to withdraw from the Australian Open due to an ankle injury. However, the younger of the Williams sisters recovered to win the three remaining 2002 Grand Slam titles. By doing so she became the seventh woman ever to have won at least three consecutive Grand Slams in the same year.

The last woman before Serena to win three successive Grand Slam tournaments in the same year was living legend Steffi Graf in 1996. For ‘Fraulein Forehand’ this achievement was just a rerun of her 1995 and 1993 performances when she also prevailed at Roland Garros, Wimbledon and the US Open. Graf’s heydays however were in 1988 when she dominated all four Grand Slam tournaments, equalling Maureen Connolly’s Grand Slam record from 1953.

Apart from her three Grand Slam titles, Serena won five other WTA-tournaments this year: Scottsdale, Miami, the Italian Open, Tokyo [Princess Cup], and Leipzig, making her the unrivalled number one in the WTA year end ranking.

Infostrada Sports Sportsteam Of The Year – South Korea Men's Football Team

At World Cup 2002, hosts South Korea performed far beyond the expectations of even their own people by finishing fourth in a roller coaster ride which very nearly took them to the World Cup final itself. Dutch coach Guus Hiddink was undoubtedly a major factor in their success and he can look back on a period which has made him one of the greatest heroes that his adopted nation had ever seen. He also managed a unique achievement in getting South Korea to the last four as he had done the same with the country of his birth, The Netherlands in the 1998 World Cup. No other coach has ever taken two different nations to the last four of a World Cup.

The South Korean World Cup adventure opened on 4 June 2002 against Poland and Hiddink’s team immediately changed the fortunes of their nation at a World Cup by recording their first ever World Cup win on their fifteenth attempt – the scoreline was 2-0 and the scorer of the opening goal, Hwang Sun-Hong, became the 16th player in international football history to record 50 international goals. Korean substitute Cha Doo-Ri also set a World Cup record by being booked after just ten seconds on the pitch.

Game number two was against the USA on 10 June and it took an equaliser thirteen minutes from time for South Korea to gain a point in a 1-1 draw. Statistically, the game was notable for Lee Eul-Yong’s missed penalty – the first penalty awarded to South Korea at a World Cup and the first to be missed by any team at the 2002 World Cup. A 1-0 win over Portugal in South Korea’s final match put them into the second phase – a stage that no hosting nation had ever failed to reach.

It was in this second phase match that the world really began to take notice of South Korea as they took on Italy on 18 June. Having reached this phase, it was expected that this would be the limit of Hiddink’s team’s capabilities. However, a quite remarkable and controversial game climaxed with an 87th minute equaliser from Seol Ki-Hyeon and then a golden goal from Ahn Jung-Hwan with five minutes to go before a penalty shoot-out. Ahn actually played for an Italian club and was initially sacked by them but later reinstated. Beating Italy made South Korea only the second ever Asian nation to reach the last eight of a World Cup. The first had been neighbours North Korea in 1966 who had also proceeded to the quarter-finals with a win over Italy. The other notable statistic about this match was that the eventual hero, Ahn Jung-Hwan missed a fifth minute penalty – no nation had ever missed two penalties at a World Cup.

At the quarter-final stage, Spain were the opponents and a tense controversial encounter ended with a penalty shoot-out to separate the two teams which was won by record international Hong Myung-Bo’s penalty. This was the seventh victory by an Asian nation over a European nation at a World Cup with four of these being achieved by South Korea at this edition.

South Korea’s incredible achievement at reaching a World Cup semi-final ended with a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Germany but they had got further than any of the hosting nations from outside Europe or South America. Of these Mexico had reached the quarter-finals on both their hosting appearances, the USA had reached the second round in 1994 and this had been repeated by South Korea’s co-hosts, Japan.
