Rio 2016: athletes as nudists and adult film actors

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!

The Olympics: Unusual Olympic sports that are no more

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.

Rio 2016: all different, all equal

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.

Rio 2016: American archer and husband of Slovenian woman Leonardo DiCaprio is cut

What does Leonardo DiCaprio do when he takes a break from making movies? Enjoying a yacht with the girls and scaring his friends? No! He participates in the Olympic Games. At least that's what many believed, who confused him with American archer Brady Ellison, who recently won a silver medal with his national team in a team competition in Rio. But the seventh-ranked player in the world did not attract attention because of his sporting achievements. Brady, who months ago proposed to the well-known Slovenian archer Toja Černe, closely resembles the famous actor, and many were convinced that DiCaprio was on the American team.

French skiers came to training in swimsuits!

As we all know, alpine skiing is an expensive sport. But it is not only the Slovenian national team that has problems with money, the French national team also faces a lack of financial resources. That's why the French alpine skiers - Speed Frenchies, as they call themselves, which could be translated as Flying French women - pulled an interesting marketing move. At training, instead of ski jerseys, they appeared in swimsuits in order to attract the attention of the public and collect money on the crowdfunding platform for training in Ushuaia, which is the summer training base for many national teams, including the Slovenian national team.

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!

Foot darts - when darts meet football

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.
