  • Story Text: Cristiano Ronaldo began his World Cup preparations early as he showed off his skills at a promotional event in Madrid on Friday (April 16).
    The Portugal and Real Madrid star appeared earlier in the year in a football skills challenge and was in Madrid to try to beat his own record for dribbling a ball over a 24-metre course, but this time racing a huge video projection of himself.
    Ronaldo appeared relaxed as he came up on stage, chatting with the presenter, before showing off his skills by dribbling around a course made up of various training dummies.
    He comfortably beat his previous time.
    Ronaldo and Portugal are set to begin their South Africa World Cup 2010 campaign in Port Elizabeth with a group G match against Ivory Coast on June 15.
