Sometimes talent is just so gobsmackingly obvious that you cannot prevent the inevitable from happening. This talent will rise to the top, similar to the best cut of steak at a braai – everyone will notice it and make a comment. The young lad made this appearance after winning the World Junior title in the under-10 division 12 years ago.

23 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
This unusual occurrence happened during the Promosport Championship race at Magny-Cours. Two guys fall off their bikes, the motorcycles lock wheel bars and then spin impressively for nearly a minute. Watch as the hapless riders comically try to grab onto the handlebars while both machines continue to pirouette on the ground. Bonus points if you can guess what the one rider keeps shouting.

The final score of the fifth and deciding set was Isner 70, Mahut 68. And that’s not even the extraordinary part.

Diary Of An Exhausted Arsenal Fan
13 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
It’s been a weird sort of season. How do you reconcile the fact that Arsenal beat Chelsea, Manchester United and Barcelona in the last six months of the season with the fact that in the exact same period they lost to third-rate Bolton Wanderers, Stoke City and Birmingham City? How do we come to terms with both the heady highs and the unrelenting lows, like the crushing defeat to Birmingham in the Carling Cup Final and the astonishing 4-4 draw to Newcastle United which effectively ended our title hopes? What does one say of the beautiful football, the young talent and complete lack of any sort of silverware in the last six seasons?
