Elimination Chamber is another main event like Backlash,Wrestle Mania, Summer Slam & all the others. The EliminationChamber is made entirely out of 2 miles of chain & 10 tons ofsteel. So when the wrestlers through each other against thechains its going to leave a mark (dont worry its only fake.) TheElimination Chamber is on the 21st February 2010. It containssome brutal matches that include Divas (I feel sorry for them.)

The matches contain 6 wrestlers. Here are the matches:

WWE Championship: Sheamus vs. Randy Orton vs. John Cenavs. Kofi Kingston vs. Triple H vs. Ted DiBase

World Heavyweight Championship: Undertaker vs. ReyMysterio vs. John Morrison vs. Chris Jericho vs. Cm Punk vs. R

Truth

Divas Championship: Gail Kim vs. MaryseThose are the matches that are going to be held in that chaincage. It is very dangerous so may I ask that if you watch WWE,Please Dont Try This. Anyway, here are the rules of theElimination Chamber:

>Two Superstars will start the match off while the other four are enclosed in glass pods.

>At the right times, a pod will open at random, allowing a Superstar to enter the match.

>This will continue until all the Superstars have been released.

>A man is eliminated by a pinfall or a submissiononly. >The last man standing is the winner.

US skier Lindsey Vonn to use hi-tech suit at Olympics

United States skiing sensation Lindsey Vonn expects to wear a

new ultra-fast suit at next month's Winter Olympics.

The polyester suit from US firm Spyder could shave hundredths of a

second off times - vital in skiing, where such margins could decide

Olympic medals.

"The guys were in Switzerland two weeks ago doing some testing and

they said things went well," said Vonn after her fifth World Cup downhill

win in a row.

The US and Canadian teams will have use of the suits at the Vancouver

Games. The International Ski Federation (Fis) is understood to have

given the design initial approval at recent tests, and Vonn will be among

the first to adopt the suits after the 2010 Winter Games begin in Canada

on 12 February.

"I've heard great things about them and that they are exceptionally

fast," said Vonn, 25, who leads the World Cup series as defending champion.

"We are looking for all the help we can get and I'm looking forward to trying it on.

"It won't change the way I ski, but if I get an extra couple of a hundredths off thanks to the suit, then great."

The development of ultra-fast suits in skiing carries echoes of similar technological advances in swimming

since the Beijing Olympics in 2008.

Dozens of swimming world records were broken in 2009 after the introduction and widespread adoption of

100% polyurethane suits.

Swimming's world governing body, Fina, subsequently banned the designs despite initially giving them their

blessing, and the suits have been illegal since the beginning of January 2010. Many swimmers have called for

world records broken in the suits to carry asterisks pointing out the technology used, and skiing organisers will

pray their sport's record books do not descend into similar chaos.

Vonn, meanwhile, continues to dominate the women's field without the use of the new suit, racking up her

second win in two days and eighth of the season earlier on Saturday. At the Italian resort of Cortina

D'Ampezzo she was 0.42 seconds ahead of Germany's Maria Riesch in the downhill, with Sweden's Anja

Paerson and Nadja Kamer of Switzerland tied for third another four-tenths of a second behind.

The victory saw Vonn go level with her childhood heroine and former US ski racer Picabo Street, who won five

downhill races on the trot in the 1994/5 season.

"Picabo Street was my idol when I was a youngster, I did not know of her records," said Vonn.

"To win five races is not as easy as that. You have to stay in top form.

"There is a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes. It is very hard both mentally and physically."

Hyena cubs born in UAE's Sir Bani Yas Island

The births are of particular significance

to the UAE as the striped hyena is

extinct in the UAE.

Abu Dhabi: Two striped hyena cubs

have been born on Sir Bani Yas Island

following a breeding programme that is

part of Abu Dhabi's Desert Islands

Destination campaign.

The births, announced on Tuesday, are

of particular significance to the UAE as

the striped hyena is extinct in the UAEand is classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as 'near

threatened' worldwide.

IUCN is the official body who monitor the status of nature and wildlife across the world.

These are the first hyenas to be born wild in the UAE for many years.

Phiri and Arnold, the parents of the cubs, were themselves raised by conservation staff in

breeding centres and relocated to Sir Bani Yas Island in 2008 as part of a conservation

programme after being taught to be self-sufficient in order to survive in the wild.

The hyenas released from the breeding centre roam freely in the 4,100-hectare Arabian

Wildlife Park on Sir Bani Yas Island along with cheetahs and some 4,000 antelopes and

gazelles.

Naming: Suggestions welcome

To help increases awareness of the plight of the hyenas, Desert Islands invites people from

around the world to suggest names for the cubs via the island's website. Desert Islands hopes

that many people will log on to the wildlife blog, which is run by the conservation staff;www.desertislands.com and at the same time learn about the hyenas and other endangered

animals on the island.

Both cubs are healthy and visitors to the island may soon be able to see them roaming

around the Arabian Wildlife Park. The striped hyena is the second largest hyena species after

the spotted hyena and is smaller in stature than the brown hyena.

Hyenas are medium-sized animals with a pointed muzzle, long bushy black-and-white tails,

pointed ears and five to nine vertical stripes on the flanks. The clearer black transverse andhorizontal stripes are on the legs. Males weigh between 26 and 41 kilogrammes while

females weigh between 26 and 40 kilogrammes.
