Australian athletes have dodged a bullet in Sweden after the entire twelve member Australian Institute of Sport Volleyball managed to escape from their tour bus after it went up in flames.

The team had been on a three week toru of Europe and were just one week in when the bus they were travelling on between Gothenburg Airport and Falkoping inexplicably and suddenly burst into flames.

The junior athletes, ranging in age from just 15 to as old as 20 managed to flee the bus along with four coaching staff unharmed however two of the athletes were treated for minor abrasions, bruising, smoke inhalation and shock.

The two athletes are expected to make a full recovery from their injuries and will no doubt have a very interesting tale to tell upon their return home.

Acting director of the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) Phil Borgeud praised staff and elder members for their quick thinking in avoiding what could potentially have been a tragic and devastating disaster.

The team had been travelling exceptionally well just a week into the three week tour, winning their opening first two games in the Italian leg of the tour.

Despite losing the vast majority of their equipment and uniforms, the team will continue its tour, playing another four games in Sweden over the next week before continuing onto Slovakia to play another five games.

It is expected that the near tragedy will have little impact on the team’s performance in the coming weeks.

www.centrebet.com.au – Just twelve months after capturing the A-League title, the Newcastle Jets are preparing for their their second straight Asian Champion’s League appearance – only this time they will have the dubious honour of attending as this year’s wooden spooners.

The jets endured a horrid year in 2008 – 2009 and collected the wooden spoon after winning just four matches and missing the finals for the first time since the A-Leagues inaugural season four years ago.

To add insult to injury, Con Constantine, the Jet’s club chairman has come under fire from the Football Federation Australia for his alleged verbal abuse of protesting fans during his sides rare 2 – 1 victory of the Perth Glory.

The Jets will join last year’s minor premier’s, the Central Coast Mariners in the Asian Champions league despite a lack of form from both teams – the Mariner’s finished fourth in the A-League’s most recent season.

This season’s top teams have every right to be aggrieved as the Asian Champions League is one of the more lucrative competitions on the Football Calender.

A Spokesperson for Football Federation Australia stated that it was extremely unlikely that the current system for qualifying for the Asian Champion’s League.

It is apparent that fixtures need to be set in stone early and it is not feasible to wait til the end of the season to try and organise pool matches.

Despite their lack of form, the Jets are confident they can make an impact in Asia after Adelaide United surprised everyone with their sizzling run of form in the competition last year.

Nobody expected United to feature but they held their heads high after being narrowly defeated in the final.

Sportingbet.com.au – Lance Armstrong is proving to be a sensational drawcard after the seven time Tour de France winner turned out with team Astana for Australia’s biggest and most lucrative race – the Tour Downunder.

Race organisers say the crowds have been unprecedented despite searing heat in South Australia – not uncommon for this time of year.

The mercury is set to top 35 for the third day running but it has not deterred record numbers of cycling enthusiast from turning up to witness the spectacle that is Lance Armstrong.

Armstrong finished well back in the field in the Tour’s prequel but was not the least bit disappointed with his performance.

It has been a long road back for the undisputed greatest cyclist that has ever mounted a bike and he is happy just to be riding again and raising awareness for his charity – Livestrong – which is dedicated to raising awareness for all forms of cancer.

True to form, the media contingent was more than double the previous numbers at any Tour Downunder, giving Armstrong the perfect platform to re-launch his career in the name of cancer awareness.

Many riders would have cracked the champagne when Armstrong retired after dominating a sport like no other individual has dominated in recent history.

However there will be many worried faces as Armstrong gears up for this year’s Toue de France (his main goal is to compete in and finish – if not win it for the eighth time) with perhaps one of the strongest teams ever assembled behind him.

www.centrebet.com.au – The American National Football league will capitalize on its assault on Australia top punters with ex North Melbourne full forward Saverio Rocca looking to be the first Australian to ever play in the Super Bowl after his team, the Philadelphia Eagles, won through to the most coveted sporting event in America.

BET NOW

Rocca will square off against ex Geelong Cat Ben Graham whose Arizona Cardinals beat the Carolina Panthers on the weekend to secure a semi final opportunity.

In what will know doubt be the most supported NFL match by Australian in history, Rocca’s Eagles will take on Graham’s Cradinals with only one man emerging to claim the title of first Australian ever to play in the Super Bowl.

Coming into the Philadelphia Vs Giants match that set up the show down, the New York Giants were seeded number one and bookmakers had them installed as red hot favourites to take out yet another Super Bowl.

However the Eagles had other ideas for Giants, running out 23 – 11 victors in a narrow game that saw star Quarterback Donovan McNabb find the in zone first with a decisive run and then with a spectacular snap pass.

The Cardinal enjoyed a surprise 33 – 11 thrashing of the Panthers to see them just one game away from the big one.

Graham was cut by the New York Jets last year before finding his feet at the Philadelphia and earning the role as their first string kicker.

Either way Australia can be proud as one man makes history to take the field in Super Bowl 2009.
