This a video presumably recorded off of ESPN69 of the 14th annual UK Wife Carrying Championship. Such action! I even witnessed a spill in there (seen above). It looks like the majority of contestants have a similar technique, with the wife’s legs dangling in front of the man’s face, and
This is a video of South Korean figure skater Kim Ye-Lim throwing out the first pitch at a baseball game and performing a beautiful triple axel just prior to her throw, which was right the money. Awesome. The only thing that would have made it better is if she’d actually
This is a short video of a contortionist performing a series of moves and poses that almost made me forget his upper body is connected to his lower body. Or is it?! Dum dum dum! He begins with some flips where his feet and hands touch the ground simultaneously, and
