So far, 43 different sports have been present in the Olympic program at the Summer Olympics. The current program of the Summer Olympics includes 28 sports with 38 disciplines. In the past, many sports were also present at the Olympic Games, which we will not see at the Rio 2016 Olympics. Such are tug-of-war and hot air ballooning. This year, after more than 100 years, golf returned to the list, and in 2014 the International Olympic Committee removed the restriction that only 28 sports could be represented at the Olympic Games, which was often the main reason that certain sports fell out of the program. The limit is now 10,500 athletes and 310 events, which will apply for the first time at POI Tokyo 2020.
Every day, the 2016 Summer Olympics serve up new top achievements, new milestones, new moments of indescribable joy and sadness, and last but not least, new memes. But Rio 2016 will go down in history with something else. It represents a milestone for athletes of the Muslim faith. Some time ago, due to religious and cultural reasons (not least the weather conditions, remember, it was quite cold in London), the International Volleyball Federation adjusted the rules regarding the equipment of the competitors, which opened the door wide open for the Egyptians Doaaji El Ghobashy and Nadi Meawad, who made sure that the "unusual" scenes from the beach volleyball match went to the world. But this is not the only "non-sporting" historical moment from Rio.
This is courage! For 19-year-old Fabian Bösch, the current world champion in freestyle skiing in the snow park, this adrenaline sports discipline is clearly not getting the heart rate up enough, so he set himself an even bolder challenge. And if his heart didn't beat wildly this time when he went backwards down the ski jump, turned around in the air, landed on the back of the jump and then jumped again and did a forward roll before landing, then he's not human! Watch his incredible jump that will take your breath away.
For top athletes, every detail is important, so manufacturers of sports equipment are constantly looking for ways to provide the athlete with an additional competitive advantage.

And the price is also suitable for this - 1200 US dollars! Do you need them? Probably not, but it must be admitted that the world has never seen such sports glasses.
