Thousands supporters lined up on the Colombo streets to welcome their heroes in an open bus.It has been few tough years for Srilankan cricket as they gone through some absolute nightmares,when they attacked in Lahore in 2009.They were always a good team but for the last few years they haven't won any major tournaments despite reaching the finals.
But luckily  last night they managed to win one after beating ever predictive Pakistani team.The emotions were on roll as they have been on the loosing side in four major cup finals.

here are the highlights of the asia cup

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

Kaitlyn Farrington captured the gold medal in thewomen’s halfpipe competition on Wednesday, becoming just the third gold medalist of the Games for Team USA.

Her second-run score of 91.75 gave her a narrow win over Torah Bright of Australia, who had 91.50. Kelly Clark, also of the U.S., won bronze with a score of 90.75, edging U.S. teammate Hannah Teter, who was fourth with 90.50.
Coming into the competition, Farrington was not considered a favorite—and didn't have the name recognition of veteran teammates Hannah Teter and Kelly Clark, both former gold medalists in the event. But she had the stuff to be one of the top competitors.
Farrington was fast and precise. She landed a pristine alley-oop to start things off and fought hard through a slight loss in momentum midway through the set to finish with a good score.
It was not a surprise to see an American woman atop the podium, but it was a shock for it to be Farrington. She was the final snowboarder named to the U.S. team, and that didn't happen until mid-January after the final qualifying event at Mammoth Mountain, Calif
 From the flat of the land to the top of the mountain, Farrington won Team USA its third gold of the Sochi Games — all in snowboarding — and survived the best efforts of the past three Olympic champions to do so.

Bieber, obviously, is going through a lot lately
. From his DUI case in Miami
, to an assault charge in his native Toronto
 and possible felony charges in California over an alleged egg raid
 on his neighbor, the 19-year-old singer has undoubtedly hit a rough patch.

Last week, the Biebs found himself in another ruckus at a Starbucks in West Hollywood, California. It seems that the 19-year-old pop star wanted service without his shirt on.

Barista Joey Goldsmith refused to serve him because he was not abiding by the coffee franchise's standard rules.

He started cussing at the Starbucks employee and threatened to have his bodyguards "kick his ass." The good news is that there was a Good Samaritan also enjoying his morning cup of joe, Los Angeles Clippers star Blake Griffin.

the NBA player walked up to the Biebs, tapped him on the shoulder, then “smacked the sh*t” out of the singer.
it was falsely claimed that the sportsman "smacked the s**t" out of the Canadian hitmaker, following which a source told Gossip Cop that Biebs hasn't been in Los Angeles - where this clash allegedly took place - for "weeks".

Furthermore, Bieber was accused of reportedly begging police not to release video footage of him in various states of undress after he was arrested in Miami.
Ofcourse it is another internet hoax like the hoax of his death in an car accident last year but it would have been a lot more fun if his ass was kicked for real especially by a NBA player because But if you still have a small ounce of appreciation for the teen heartthrob, it’ll likely vanish after watching Bieber play basketball.
The Canadian-born singer posted a few videos of

 himself and his ‘bro’ playing basketball in one of Bieber’s spray painted rooms (yep, because you needed you distaste to grow even more) which featured JB pretending to be a cocky point guard.

First off, if you’re going to play basketball – play basketball. Don’t play in a modified room with stairs and skateboard ramps placed every fifteen inches.

Second, Bieber clearly thinks he’s better than he is. Granted, the kid isn’t a bad basketball player but the dribbles have that ‘I think I’m better than I really am’ stench.

Lastly – what the hell is up with the crappy jump skips? You’re playing on a court that would make Fisher Price blush due to it’s small, child-like size. Stop that.

 The Sochi 2014 is finally underway and there is a huge social media out roar due to the underdeveloped infra structure and pathetic conditions faced by athletes and media personnel.Currently these conditions are highlighted on the social media by tag "Sochi Problems".The journalists are tweeting photos of adverse conditions in which they are forced to live in Sochi and the local administration is busy in finding excuses and cover-ups for the current situation but the difficult times have not even begin yet.
The winter Olympics always end up surrounded by the controversies at least what is observed during the last decade and Sochi2014 is no different.

Salt Lake City Olympics 2002:

In 1998, several IOC members were forced to resign after it was uncovered that they had accepted bribes from Salt Lake Bid Committee co-heads Tom Welch and Dave Johnson in return for voting for Salt Lake City to hold the Games. In response to the scandal and a financial shortfall for the games, Mitt Romney, then CEO of the private equity firm Bain Capital (and future presidential candidate), was hired as the new President and CEO of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee, leaving him and IOC President Dr. Jacques Rogge to contend with the public outcry and financial mess.Romney, Kem C. Gardner, a Utah commercial real estate developer, and Don Stirling, the Olympics' local marketing chief, raised "millions of dollars from Mormon families with pioneer roots: the Eccles family, whose forebears were important industrialists and bankers" to help rescue the games, according to a later report.An additional $410 million was received from the federal government.

The 2002 games were the first Winter Olympics held after formation of the World Anti-Doping Agency; as a result there were a large number of athletes disqualified following the new testing.

Athletes in cross-country skiing were disqualified for various reasons, including doping by two Russians and one Spaniard, leading Russia to file protests and threaten to withdraw from competition.

In the first week of the Games, a controversy in the pairs' figure skating competition culminated in the French judge's scores being thrown out and the Canadian team of Jamie Salé and David Pelletier being awarded a second gold medal. Allegations of bribery were leveled against many ice-skating judges, leading to the arrest of known criminal Alimzhan Tokhtakhounov in Italy (at the request of the United States). He was released by the Italian officials. 

                     Turin 2006:

The Games had issues with costs covering and national attendance. Due to a lack of funding by the Italian Government, Toroc risked dissolution. American skier Bode Miller was also a focus of controversy in his home country and Canada, where his actions were not considered in line with the Olympic spirit.

The metro was finally opened to the public on February 4, 2006, after a 45-day delay. It operated on a shorter stretch (XVIII Dicembre (Porta Susa) to Fermi – 11 stations) than originally forecast; it finally reached the main railway station (Porta Nuova) and the rest of the city centre more than one year after the Games, in October 2007. For the duration of the Games, a single ticket (5 euros) covered use of both the metro and other means of public transportation for a whole day. However, during the Games, metro service stopped at 6:00 pm, making it impractical for spectators of evening events. Furthermore, the metro did not reach any of the Olympic venues. On the other hand, the bus service was heavily improved for the Games, although still inadequate at night hours.

Italian police raided the Austrian athletes' quarter in search of evidence of doping. The raid was conducted due to suspicions over the presence of biathlon coach Walter Mayer, who had been banned from all Olympic events up to and including the Vancouver Olympic Games in 2010 due to previous doping convictions. Around the time of the raid Mayer and two Austrian biathletes, Wolfgang Perner and Wolfgang Rottmann, tried to escape and fled back to Austria. Later, the Austrian ski federation president said that the two athletes told him they "may have used illegal methods". After some days the results of the tests of all 10 tested Austrian athletes were presented and were all negative.

           Vancouver 2010:

The opening ceremony was stalled while organizers recovered from mechanical problems which prevented the pillars forming the cauldron for the torch lighting from completely rising out of the stadium floor as planned. However this was soon fixed as seen in the Closing Ceremony, where they made a joke out of it. An Engineer Mime climbed out of the stage as if he had just fixed it and he pretended to pull it up. Speed skater Catriona Le May Doan, who was supposed to have lit the 4th pillar, came out from the floor to finally get the chance to light it.

After problems with malfunctioning buses and lost drivers delayed spectators trying to go to or return from Olympic venues, the games organizers called in an additional 100 buses and drivers.The problematic buses and drivers were contracted from Gameday Management, an American company which had also serviced the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.Representatives of BC bus drivers and companies criticized Vanoc for using Gameday and its American drivers instead of local operators, contending that drivers from states such as Texas were not experienced with mountain driving and winter road conditions.

Some time after winning their gold medal in the finals of the women's hockey tournament, a 2-0 victory over the United States on February 25, 2010, several members of the Canadian women's hockey team celebrated on the stadium ice while drinking beer and champagne, and smoking cigars. Unbeknownst to the players they were photographed and their celebration was criticized in the media,the reason being that smoking and drinking in public was unbecoming of Olympic athletes, especially while in uniform and in their playing venue. Hockey Canada issued an apology, although other members of the Olympic community dismissed concerns over the event.The IOC considered looking into the incident.Canadian hockey captain Hayley Wickenheiser said a double standard was being applied, and that a male athlete would not have been judged so harshly, as was the case with skeleton gold medalist Jon Montgomery and his post race beer consumption.

It would be interesting to see that how Putin administration would handle the Sochi problems and would they able to hold a controversy free winter Olympics this time?
But the political  controversies have already begin due to the consistent widespread boycott of the world leaders to enter Russian soil.
