UNBREAKABLE

david
In karate exhibitions, breaking boards might seem like a skill reserved for martial arts masters, but there are actually a few tricks behind it. They don’t just use any random plank; the wood is dry, with aligned grain that makes it easier to break, and some even have subtle pre-cuts. The key isn’t brute force but technique: striking with precision, speed, and following through without hesitation. Plus, the board is positioned in a way that concentrates the impact energy at the exact breaking point.

I have no idea what they were using in the next video, but the participants' experience was anything but smooth—more like painful and embarrassing.

CITIUS, ALTIUS, FORTIUS

In Ancient Greece, women were strictly forbidden from participating in the Olympic Games—not as athletes, nor as spectators, except in rare cases. Only unmarried young women were allowed to watch, while married women weren’t even permitted near the stadium. However, they didn’t just stand by; instead, they created their own competition, the Heraean Games, held in honor of the goddess Hera, where they showcased their athletic abilities in foot races.

It wasn’t until the 1900 Paris Olympics that women were finally allowed to compete, but only in a few sports like tennis and golf, and they made up less than 3% of the athletes.

Times have changed, and by the Tokyo 2020 Games, nearly 50% of the participants were women.

LIN YU-TING LOSES AND IMANE KHELIF WINS

Yesterday, we discussed the controversy surrounding the boxing competition at Paris 2024 due to the participation of Algerian Imane Khelif and Taiwanese Lin Yu-Ting, who, after undergoing DNA tests, were found to have XY chromosomes.
The fights are taking place since the IOC allows countries to choose their representatives. On one hand, Lin Yu-Ting lost to the Russian representative, while Imane Khelif won after the Italian Angela Carini withdrew, stating that "it was too strong of a punch."

POLE VAULTING IN PARIS 2K24

Pole vaulting is a sport that only interests the participants and their mothers—unless it gives us standout moments like those from the Frenchman Anthony Ammirati and the Estonian Tilga Karel.

THE BEST FANDOM

Sometimes situations speak for themselves without needing more details. I'll just mention that on a certain day in April, there was a memorable event at the Verburch football club in Poeldijk, known as De Poelluk. During the game, a spontaneous fan ran onto the field. The rest, you can see for yourself.

THE REAL-LIFE VERSION OF THE DICTATOR

What happened a couple of years ago at the Tohopekaliga Tiger Invitational in Kissimmee, Florida, seems like something straight out of a Sacha Baron Cohen comedy. During a high school race, one competitor decided that rules didn’t apply to him and, instead of overtaking his rival with effort, opted for the quick route: a surprise punch.

Apparently, this runner wasn’t even officially part of the race, but he decided it was the perfect time to recreate that epic scene from "The Dictator," where the protagonist, gun in hand, ensures there’s no competition left on the track.
