Women's sports gear should look good - but carefully, it's also important that it serves its purpose, and that should be a priority. Nike has finally decided to create a basketball line of sportswear just for women. But to make sure they didn't miss a beat, they consulted with ladies who know a thing or two about the sport.
Catch your breath and get ready for an unusual innovation - the X2 Sport, an underwater rocket backpack/bracelet that will turn you into an underwater Superman. Why Superman? Because the device works on the principle of flying a superhero, with arms stretched forward. Only under water. It uses two propellers, one for each arm, capable of speeds of up to 10 km/h.
Robert Lewandowski scored an incredible 5 goals in the space of 9 minutes in the match of the sixth round of the German Bundesliga at the home Allianz Arena and led Bayern from a 0:1 deficit to a 5:1 lead. Legend has it that Lewandowski still scores!
You've probably seen quite a few extraordinary table tennis exchanges, but the world was still waiting for the most beautiful, most extreme and most epic point in the history of table tennis. And he lived to see her.

From the latter, he borrowed a table, which is not a flat but a convex surface, and he changed the rackets and the ball for legs (and other limbs) and a soccer ball. It is suitable for two or four players, and thanks to the transparent "net" that can be raised above the normal level, table tennis table tennis can also be played solo. The rules are similar to those of ping pong, but clearly adapted, and the game does not only bring a lot of fun, because with it you will greatly improve your control of the ball, so it is ideal also and especially for those who practice football.
Golf is too expensive a sport for you, and you don't play soccer because you have two left feet.

The summer holiday at sea is approaching, where many people spend part of it underwater. The secret of holding your breath for a long time deep below the surface was revealed to us by Samo Jeranka, who holds the Slovenian depth record in free diving. Recently, with a new Slovenian record, he won third place in the discipline of static apnea at the World Championships in Belgrade.

The story of the fallen cycling champion Lance Armstrong also got the Hollywood treatment. In the film The Program, Ben Foster (The Sole Survivor) took on the role of a disgraced superstar who literally swept away his cycling rivals at the famous Tour de France cycling race. And if the director of success or the man behind Armstrong was Johan Bruyneel, the man behind the camera of this biographical drama was director Stephen Frears.
