Olga Korbut's 1972 Dead Loop trended on reddit last night:


That looks scary as hell. But damn, it's a great example of what the human body can do.

Last year my friends got me to follow Formula 1 and I’ve loved the adrenaline that it gives you, but my all-time favorite sport is Basketball, been following the NBA since I was a kid, die-hard Kobe fan and in 2013 discovered a kid named Steph Curry, been my second GOAT since then .

Some finish to the tennis then! Nadal two sets down and comes back to win and take the record 21 titles. Amazing feat at this stage of his career.

It's a shame that Roger Federer has retired from all Tennis apart from laver cup which will be his last.

Tennis is a bit of a mess right now.

A player like Ruud is now #2 and would even have been number one if he had beaten Alcaraz.

In the past a Del Porto or Wawrinka had to at least win 2 matches against the big 3 (or 4 including Murray).

But now it’s much different. Big names are gone, old, or unvaccinated… and new gen is injured or too unstable: Zverev, Tsitsipas, Kyrgios, thiem (not new but gotta name him). Sinner was good, but also not there yet.

Alcaraz the only new talent who really delivers at this moment

Bit of a morbid way to bump a thread, but I guess this would be the best place to share the news.

Pro Rally Driver and Hoonigan Founder Ken Block Killed in Snowmobile Accident​

Pro rally driver and Hoonigan co-founder Ken Block was killed in a snowmobile accident on Monday, Hoonigan and local authorities confirmed.

Block, a prolific figure in the car community, was 55 years old. A co-founder of DC shoes, he moved into the world of rally and quickly made a name for himself, developing the Hoonigan brand and creating the much-loved Gymkhana video series.

Grew up with his Gymkhana videos, and played the shit out of DiRT 3 (which also included an identically-named mode). Shit start to 2023 if ever there was one.

This evening's FA Cup build up on the BBC:

In a week... Super Bowl!

Started rooting for the Eagles in the middle of their 2017, Super-Bowl-winning season. Unfortunately knew absolute dog shit about American football back then and I missed out on a lot of celebrations because I could barely register what was happening on the field, besides a couple of basic rules.

Now it's 2023, and they are in the Super Bowl again. BRING IT.

 

[Archon]

Gutted... So close.

The quality by the Cheifs and Eagles is so much higher than everyone else. It made for a great game. I was surprised Eagles didn't take it honestly. Watching my team, Commanders, is just painful.
