A tongue-in-cheek November 2012 article featured on 2oceansvibe has returned to the spotlight. What was originally an article about jealousy, turns out to reveal some relevant insight. This, following Oscar Pistorius’ alleged killing of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.

The details on this morning’s shooting are still unclear, but whatever the outcome it should serve as another warning againt raising a simple sportsman up to be something he ultimately isn’t.
The identity of Oscar Pistorius’s current girlfriend has been revealed.
It is good to know that sportsmanship isn’t completely dead! Footage has surfaced of a Spanish runner, Ivan Fernandez Anaya, intentionally losing a race in order to do the right thing.

I just read an article on channel24 and I’ll be honest, I’m confused. Oscar’s ex is saying that he is basically a player and that his new FHM model babe, used to stalk her. She is also very close to ‘revealing’ what Oscar used to ‘do’ to her. Riveting stuff. Click through for photos of both girls.

Every day, the internet is flooded with ridiculous claims and preposterous stories, each begging for attention and the majority lacking even a shred of truth, and it’s our duty, as your humble news-givers, to shift through them all and bring you the rare, uncommon gems. Today, I believe I have found just such a gem – there’s a legitimate chance that Usain Bolt may play for Manchester United.
Of all the things that attract people to the Olympics, record-breaking performances are surely near the top of the list. People sit in anticipation at the venues, or huddled around TVs at home and in pubs, waiting for records which once seemed inconceivable to be smashed by the latest crop of top athletes. And then four years on, they do it again, ad infinitum, or will they?

The video shows her smiling, hopping up and down, wiggling her hips, and waving to the crowd. Thanks to some super corny music that was added to the footage, along with slowing down some of her movements, we now have a video titled: The Hottest Hurdler Ever”.
But did her enthusiastic preparation help? Hell yes! Check her out – soaring past her competitors, and flying ahead to win first place!

Michael Johnson, a four-time Olympic gold medalist sprinter, has been quoted as saying that he believes slave descendants make better athletes and that the controversial topic should not be avoided, but rather discussed openly.
Prince Harry is basically having a complete jol, as he cruises around the Bahamas on behalf of his grandmother, HRH Queen Elizabeth II. Part of his daily mix of official duties and general fun-and-games, include things like this – racing against Usain Bolt – the fastest man in the world. And would you believe it, […]
