It's clear to everyone that athletes have amazing bodies, but these scenes from the Olympics will blow your mind! You've never seen anything like this! Success doesn't come by itself and it takes a lot of hard work. But while some sports require muscle and height, others require featherweight grace. The Olympic Games are games of contrasts that meet in the same place once every four years, which presents an opportunity for unusual photographs. With the Rio 2016 Olympics come these…
Olympics
Rio 2016 has already served up countless memorable scenes and moves worthy of all respect, but in the preliminaries of the 5000 meters we witnessed the peak of the Olympic spirit. It featured American and New Zealand runners, Abbey D'Agostino and Nikki Hamblin, working together to reach the finish line after falling in the crowd about 2,000 meters from the finish line. Watch probably the best moment from the Olympics.
Many athletes like to decorate their enviable body with various tattoos. Even in the Slovenian Olympic team, there are some who wear tattoos. The tennis player Polona Hercog is certainly the most noticeable, and the kayaker Peter Kauzer, who has a tattoo of a lion with a crown on his shoulder, is not far behind. But those two are far from the only ones we spotted with tattoos at the Rio 2016 Olympics. We have collected only the best ones, from a little more flashy to minimalist, among which the motif of the Olympic rings clearly dominates. These are the most beautiful tattoos we spotted at the Rio Olympics.
Usain Bolt knows Slovenian! The Jamaican sprinter, who once again declared his superiority in the 100-meter race at the Rio 2016 Olympics and thus maintained his status as the fastest earthman in the world, answered a number of journalist's questions after winning the seventh gold medal at the Olympic Games. He spoke to Slovenian journalist Anja Hlače Ferjančič in Slovenian. Check out what he confided in her in Slovenian.
Athletes at the Rio 2016 Olympics take care of the results and professional photographers capture the most important moments of the Olympic Games. Getty Images, the world's largest provider of digital photographic material, also has a large army of photographers in Rio, which ensures that the media always have the best shots available in record time. The process from the moment of capturing the photo to the processed photo ready for publication takes only 120 seconds!
Just like the Olympic rings, which are a constant star in the Olympic sky, the Olympic logos of the individual Olympic Games are also an inseparable part of the Olympics, with the difference that they differ from Games to Games. We've scoured the historical archives and below you can see everything from the Athens 1896 Olympics to the Rio 2016 Olympics and everything in between.
Many Olympic facilities, which at the height of their popularity (at the time of the Olympic Games) were an architectural masterpiece, today show a shabby image, which is a far cry from the one of years ago, when people crowded there. After the spotlights receded, they became home to stray dogs and cats and weeds. Many former Olympic venues have been cruelly dealt with by fate, and today you will look for the former glory there in vain. Find out below which are these neglected and abandoned Olympic facilities, which are far from the image of their best years.
Beach volleyball player Adrian Carambula serves like an elementary school student, but his serves are an unsolvable puzzle for his opponent! While most beach volleyball players serve with an overhead (jump) serve, the Italian punches the ball and sends it high into the clouds. Check out this amazing serve below that has become his signature and an unsolvable puzzle even for his rivals at the Rio 2016 Olympics.
Kate Middleton, is that you? A few days ago, we were wondering what Leonardo DiCaprio was doing at the Olympics, until we realized that the archer is actually the Slovenian son-in-law, the American Brady Ellison. But he is not the only case of the Rio 2016 Olympics having a famous doppelganger, as those watching the women's road cycling race were convinced they saw Kate Middleton, wife of Prince William, cycling. As it turned out, it was not the Duchess of Cambridge, but the Dutch cyclist Pauline Ferrand-Prevot.
It's not easy being a top athlete. Sport at the highest level requires a lot of sacrifices. The same applies to the "profession" of mother, which also requires a great deal of patience and many sacrifices. But no matter how tiring it is, just like in top-class sports, all the effort pays off in the end. Maybe the reward doesn't come in the form of a medal, the medal mom gets around her neck is her child's smile, his kiss on her cheek before bed, a hug, or a drawing he drew just for her. No matter how hard parenting is, comparable to the training of a top athlete, just like athletes, mothers know that it will pay off someday. Mother will not experience the acceptance for her successful upbringing, as Tina Trstenjak will, but her mother and father are to a large extent responsible for it.
Watch the final match in which Tina Trstenjak won the Olympic gold medal at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. In the final of the category up to 63 kilograms, she defeated Clarissa Agbegnenou with an ipon and wrote a new historic day for Slovenian sports. With this, Bera's tally of Olympic medals from the Summer Olympics in Slovenia increased to 20, to which judo, together with Urška Žolnir, Lucija Polavder and Trstenjakova, already contributed four medals! Tina Trstenjak succeeded Urška Žolnir on the Olympic throne. Take a look at her ipon, which won her a minor medal at the OI. With the Olympic title, she became one of the eight judokas to hold all three titles from the biggest competitions - European, World and Olympic!
The main news of the day from the diving venue (Maria Lenk Aquatics Center) is that the water suddenly changed color from blue to green just before the final. But at this venue these days we witnessed another phenomenon. At the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, the story from London 2012 was repeated, when the graphics on the TV screen showing the results of the jumpers "censored" the groin area of the contestants, and for a moment it seemed that you were "naked". Some scenes even resemble scenes from adult films! Don't believe it? See for yourself!
