Carnival of Sports #2

Welcome to the second edition of the "Carnival of Sports". This week, I have received some great entries. Before taking you through the posts, I request all my fellow bloggers to provide a link to this carnival in their blogs. Otherwise, it will be difficult to make the "Carnival of Sports" popular on the web. If I don't get a link back, I may be forced to dump your posts from the future editions. I am sorry if I sound a bit harsh. But this is a compulsion of blog business. And, I hope you will understand it. Now let's go through the posts that deserve to be here.
