This is a video of P!NK the border collie demonstrating her skills by blasting through an agility course at ludicrous speed, beating the next-best competitor by over 2 seconds. Such agility! For reference, I just watched one of my dogs fall off the couch trying to scratch his back on
This is a video of 21-year old Dutchman Jarmo Slutter performing his winning seagull imitation at the European Gull Screeching Championship held in Adinkerke, Belgium. Admittedly, he does sound exactly like a bird. The costume certainly doesn’t hurt either. Next year I plan to win the competition with a cleverly

This is a video of Jomboy providing some lighthearted commentary of the women’s 2019 Norwegian Death Diving (Døds) freestyle competition, in which participants bellyflop from a 10 – 14 meter platform with as much as flair as possible. Miriam Hamberg manages to secure victory in the video, just like she
This is a video of billiard player Shane Van Boening sinking six balls on the break of a game of ten-ball. The commentators speculate he’s going to make three, but no, he doubles that. For reference, the most balls I’ve ever made on a break is probably two. MAYBE three.
