"Sports Hijab" not just for Muslim women
The next sporty must-have is not just for Muslim women
The ResportOn, a tight-fitting hoodie covering the hair, is the new sports hijab – but it's attracting orders from non-Muslim women and men
Move over, Nigella's burkini – you are so last season. The latest addition to the modest Muslim wardrobe is the ResportOn, a sleek sports hijab designed for female Muslim athletes who like to keep their hair covered while working up a sweat.
The ResportOn, whose tagline is "Be Yourself. Unveil your performance", is the brainchild of Iranian-born French-Canadian designer Elham Seyed Javad.
She came up with the idea after five Muslim girls were banned from competing in tae kwon do tournaments in Montreal because of their hijabs (the headscarves were considered a health and safety risk). Javad, who doesn't wear a headscarf herself, heard about the ban and figured there must be a way to make it easier for hijab-wearing women to participate in sports.

Twenty20 World Cup 2010
T20 tournament returns guaranteeing suspense, tears (for the losing sides =p) and excitement all round.
The cricket T20 is now well under way with the first 4 matches completed. Now for those who don't know what a game of Twenty20 cricket is, a summary would be that it is a shortened version of a normal 50 innings one day match.
Who are your favourites to win this years T20 World Cup??
Workings and History of the T20 game and World Cup.
T20 conists of two innings typically lasting 20 overs if disrupted by bad weather then the innings may become shorter.
T20 has officially been around since 2003 but has only become more popularin recent years with the introduction of the IPL tournament and T20 World Cup.
The previous T20 World Cup was held in the United Kingdom and proved to be very popular with tickes being sold out for most of the matches. The current T20 champions are pakistan which considering their start to the last T20 world cup, it was very surpirsing they even made it to the semi finals.
This years groups, A-D
Group A - Pakistan, Bangladesh and Australia
Group B - Sri Lanka, New Zealand and Zimbabwe
Group C - South Africa, India and Afghanistan
Group D - West Indies, England and Ireland
As you can see Afghanistan is a new team to the tournament and it will be interesting to see how they perform.
The first stage of the T20 will be the group stages whereby each team will play the other teams in their groups. Only 2/3 teams frome ach group will qualify for the super eights which will lead to the semis and then the final being played on Sunday 16th May.
Who do you think will be first to be knocked out?
The first 4 games of the T20 have been played and the current defending champions are off to a good start. Things will get more interesting when all teams have played and have reached the super eight stages.
All in all T20 is more enjoyeable than a test match that lasts four days in total and even a normal one day which lasts 100 overs ..... with a T20 game of cricket it's exciting as you can nearly always expect great batting sides and suspense as the matches draw to an end.
Remember the final is on Sunday the 16th of May!!

The Revival Guide To The World Cup 2010
The Rainbow nation is set to stage the showpiece event in the football calendar with some of the game’s most dazzling players set to take centre stage.
The names of the famous footballers set to star in the forthcoming World Cup in South Africa run off the tip of your tongue: Kaka, Lionel Messi, Wayne Rooney, Michael Ballack, Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres and Didier Drogba.
Talking of African football, the most illustrious footballer to participate in the World Cup, Brazilian Pele, claimed that within ten years an African nation would win the World Cup. That prophecy however has long since been outdated.
Flying The Flag For Islam
WORLD CUP 2010: Fantasy Football - Muslim Style!
There will be no shortage of world class players in South Africa and a lot of them will have one thing in common - the faith of Islam!
France and Bayern Munich’s Franck Bilal Ribéry is the standout performer who could make World Cup glory possible for the French. An attacking forward, he has the pace and the dribbling skills to outwit any international defence in the World Cup. A lot will depend on him, as the current French squad is an average set-up with internal problems rife. Ribéry has been recognised on the world stage as one of the best French players of his generation. The previous talisman of Les Bleus, Zinedine Zidane, has called Ribéry the "jewel of French football".
Women's Boxing
What are your thoughts on women's boxing? Is it right or wrong?
What about your views on the sport itself? Does it make a difference if it's women or men who are punching each others lights out in the ring?
Those of you who watch men's boxing, are you as enthusiastic about watching women fighting it out in the ring?
In 2012 women's boxing will be included in the Olympics. Is it about time, or just equality gone mad?
Someone who's hoping she's there fighting at the 2010 London Olympics is Ambreen Sadiq aged 15 - the first Muslim female boxer in the UK. She's not just got her opponent to worry about or the fact she's competing in a male dominated sport, but also religious restraints and cultural stigma.
Could she claim the huge support, from Muslims and non-Muslims alike, that Amir Khan did back in 2004 at the Athens Olympics, or are we just not ready yet? Will we ever be?
Ambreen: The Girl Boxer will be showing this Friday 22nd January on Channel 4 at 7:30pm.
