Slovenia is shaking with jumping fever. On Friday, the first race in ski jumping in the new season (2016/17) is on the schedule, where Peter Prevc, who wrote a golden chapter in the history of ski jumping last season, is starting his title defense. In the dreamy past season, he not only jumped onto the jumping Olympus, he also conquered everything there was to conquer, and at the same time broke many records and raised the appetites of the already demanding Slovenian public, who ate out of the hands of the Slovenian eagles last season. The jumpers are ready for the new season, which starts with Friday's match in Kuusamo (November 25, 2016), followed by a new one on Saturday.

This is one of the most adrenaline-pumping shots you've seen in months. When we think of the Swiss Alps and the Alps in general, most of us think of skiing, hiking and mountaineering first, but not Jamie Lee. For him, the Alps are a natural adrenaline park. Watch his heart-pounding high-speed parachute descent past glaciers, canyons and cliffs.

Electric bikes are growing like mushrooms after the rain and we have a feeling that there is something on the market for every pocket and taste. But that won't quite hold. While compact and city electric bikes are plentiful, you will be hard pressed to find an electric mountain bike. Which is nothing tragic, because there is Bultaco Brinco, a superb electric mountain bike, which will make you not feel the need to have a wide choice. The bike of the comeback brand on the scene is a hybrid between a bicycle and a motocross bike.
Physical exercise has become a world religion and 'being fit' is the mantra of the modern world. In autumn, sports training moves from nature to indoors, and the colorful range of sports accessories helps exercise to remain our faithful companion even in the colder months, even if we don't like going to the gym. With a little ingenuity, you can do a great workout at home. Do you want to build endurance, do strength training, improve mobility, balance and coordination? In Intersport's stores you can find all the 'furniture' for equipping a home gym, which usually starts with an exercise bike.
Yellow and red cards are the constant stars of football, and in the Italian Serie B (the second quality class), referees will now also keep a green card in their pocket. Vincenzo striker Christian Galano was the first in history to receive a card, which the referee shows to a football player for fair play.
Although we mere mortals will disagree, downhill mountain bike trails are too easy for many a world-class rider. Namely, the worse half of the competitors are adapted. That's why mountain biker Dan Atherton set up the world's hardest downhill mountain bike course - the Red Bull Hardline - in the Snowdonia National Park in North Wales. The third competition was recently held there. Why this scary nickname sticks to her, you can see in the video, which was recorded by her creator with a head camera. Our hearts dropped in our pants while watching, and you're guaranteed to too!
