We are less than 14 days away from the start of the Summer Olympic Games in Rio, when modern gladiators will once again fight for the most glittering medals. Also at the 2016 Rio Olympics, Omega timekeepers will measure the hundredths and thousandths that will determine the medal winners. Among the candidates for them will be the swimmer Michael Phelps, Omega brand ambassador, who in 2008 won as many as eight gold medals at the OI, surpassing the achievement of Mark Spitz in 1972. We spoke with the great American swimmer before his imminent departure to Latin America. America.

Is this the dumbest own goal in football history? Spectators of the friendly match between the football teams Minnesota United (USA) and Bournemouth (England) saw a really unusual goal. After the goalkeeper Sammy Ndjock already had the soccer ball safely in his hands and wanted to pass it to his teammate, with a great amount of clumsiness he kicked it into his own net instead of his teammate!
The longboard is admittedly a more urban means of transport, but among its supporters there are also many who do not only swear by the asphalt and concrete jungle, but also like to get out into nature - without a longboard, of course. We have found the perfect board for all lovers of both nature and longboards. A longboard by 31 & Change, which is made from a raw log board. So different, so attractive!
Just like unusual food combinations that sound strange but are actually brilliant (such as peanut butter and chocolate), sports also produce unusual pairings. The last such example of a hybrid discipline is foot darts, which is a mixture of football and darts. It is an unusual but very lucky combination that is quickly gaining followers. In the game, instead of a goal, you shoot at a bulky inflatable dart target, and instead of a classic ball, you use a "velcro" ball, i.e. a ball with velcro, which is "stuck" into the target.
With a following of 4.8 million people on the Nike Women Instagram account, every day is greeted with an inspiring array of different women proudly showing off their muscular bodies. But the palette was not so varied until recently. Women with curves were missing. That has now changed.

Slovenian cyclist and entrepreneur Tomaž Gorec filmed a daring descent with a bicycle along the abandoned Olympic bobsleigh track in Sarajevo, located on Mount Trebević, thus fulfilling his ten-year wish. After watching this video, you too will add the descent to your wish list.
Cristiano Ronaldo is a football player that we cannot remain indifferent to. Whether you love him or hate him, Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest grandmasters of the game of football of all time. Although he earned the wrath and anger of many with his simulations, he knows how to show a great deal of respect to his rival on the field. He is also not afraid to show his emotions on the green. When opportunities are wasted, he sometimes fusses like a small child who wants ice cream in every way, and in difficult moments he is often overcome by emotions. Not even the European football championship Euro 2016. Watch Cristiano Ronaldo's most emotional moments.
Who needs rivers when we have sand dunes. If the world runs out of water, at least we won't run out of one water sport. Kayaking. Well, it's true that it won't be a water sport anymore, so we won't be deprived of such pleasures, because kayaking "on" sand dunes seems just as exciting as on (wild) waters. This was proven to us by experienced kayaker Eric Walter, who is no stranger to descents over the highest waterfalls in the world. Well, this time he was in a hurry in the Namib desert of Africa, where there was neither spirit nor hearing about water.
Of course, it is a perfectly directed and played event, where behind the mask of an elderly gentleman hides Kenneth Leverich, the junior Olympic champion and one of the best Crossdit competitors, who easily lifts 242 kilograms.

Euro 2016 was served with quite a few penalties, which also decided quite a few matches. At these, quite a few national team players submitted a candidacy for the worst penalty taken of all time. The last time this happened was in the quarter-final match between Germany and Italy, where, after the execution of the 11-meter penalty, our western neighbors drew a short shot, among whom Simone Zaza, who tried to confuse the goalkeeper by jumping before the shot, but was confused earlier sent himself and the ball into the audience instead of into the net. Of course, this is not an isolated case, there have been quite a few unfortunate attempts to take penalties in the history of football, and we have searched out the most desperate attempts of famous football players, which showed that they too are only human. These are the worst penalties of all time.
