Did you know there is a world championship in seesaw jumping? We played with the swing as children, and many people still use it as a sports prop. Jumping a seesaw helps improve endurance, strength, speed and coordination. It's an aerobic activity, so it's great for burning calories. We don't know how much was spent by the Hong Kong boys who set the world record in the team vaulting of two seesaws, but we do know that they made 671.5 vaults in three minutes!!!
Will future Olympic medals be made from recycled phones? Organizers of the Tokyo Olympics are considering making medals from recycled metals obtained from recycled smartphones and other electronics in a bid to contribute to a cleaner environment.
The Czech swimming team, which competed at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, had a good time in their spare time. Boys and girls took advantage of the photogenic nature of Brazilian beaches and filmed a sexy adaptation of the opening credits of the TV series Baywatch (Baywatch, 1989) entitled CzechWatch on one of them. David Hasselhoff would be proud! We believe that these swimmers have a bright future in the world of film and fashion after their swimming career.
German twins Anna and Lisa Hahner finished 81st and 82nd in the marathon and would probably have gone unnoticed if they hadn't crossed the finish line holding hands. Instead of the moment going down as one of the most moving of the Rio 2016 Olympics, the Germans became the target of criticism as the move was self-promotional, with the director of the German Athletics Federation, Thomas Kurschilgen, even saying that their performance looked like olympic match one big joke. What is your opinion?
The story of Kenyan athlete Julius Yego is truly unusual. Although Kenya has always been considered the land of runners, Julius Yego is not a runner. Julius Yego is a javelin thrower. And not some average one. He came to the Rio Olympics as a favorite. The force came to this title in an unusual way. After being written off by the coaches in high school and realizing he wasn't a good runner, he tried his hand at the javelin. The problem? Where the hell do you get a javelin coach in Kenya and most importantly where do you even get a javelin? Regarding the latter, he has somehow found his way, and he even hired a YouTube channel as a coach! This honed him into one of the best javelin throwers in the world!
It is not for nothing that they say that in sports you have to be collected until the referee's final whistle. until we cross the finish line. These athletes found this out the hard way. After they already had the victory in their hands, they squandered it so cheaply by showing off prematurely...
Dominik Sky, the Slovenian who climbed the highest chimney in Europe and fluttered there like a flag man, jumped over buildings, jumped through windows, did a stand on the railing of a railway bridge, jumped from abnormal heights and performed other daring acrobatics, is back with a new video , which confirms that he is a stuntman like no other in the world. Don't believe it? Here are his best feats.
Not the injury, not the referees and not the opponents, his masculinity shattered his Olympic dreams. Japanese pole vaulter Hiroki Ogita's carrot cost him his performance in the pole vault final at the Rio 2016 Olympics! Watch the incredible bad luck that befell him in qualifying.
The next time you think you're too old for something, remember Madonna Buder, the 86-year-old Iron Nun, as she's called, the new face of Nike's ''Unlimited'' (Unlimited Youth) campaign, proving that age is no excuse. At almost ninety, he still competes in the Ironman triathlon, which means that he first swims 3.8 kilometers, then cycles 180 kilometers and then runs another 42 kilometers! It embodies both the slogan of Ironman: Anything is Possible (Everything is possible.) and Nike: Unlimited Youth (Eternal Youth).
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.
