The legendary Le Mans race is happening right now. Here’s a video of something that happened in the first hour of the race.

Some people have used up all their luck for this year. The video might be removed because of various media rights, if it’s gone, try to do a YouTube search.

Now I know that Curling is a bit hard than it looks, the slippery shoe is damn slippery and that most amateur games are more a game of chance than a game of skill. Still it was great fun – go ahead and give it a try.

Oh, Eurosport. One again, you have made me aware of a sport I didn’t even know existed. This time, it’s Bowls. I’m almost as excited as I was when I discovered Netball. Funny thing is that both sports are popular in Commonwealth countries. So what else do you crazy people do in your spare time?

Nike’s “Write the Future” World Cup 2010 commercial. The best (and perhaps most expensive) commercial ever made? At least it’s brilliant, even I want to watch the World Cup now.

Every year I try to catch a little cycling on TV during the Tour de France.

There’s about a week left of this year’s tour and I must say that I’m very impressed by how well these top athletes perform. The race is around 3,500 kilometers (2,200 miles) and lasts for 23 days. Out of those 23, three are used to rest, meaning that they are racing in 20 days. That’s an average of 175 kilometers (110 miles) every day. On all the stages I’ve seen so far, the average speed has never been below 40 kmh (25 mph).

Let’s put this into perspective. I took my bike to Nordstrand today for a surprise visit to Ola and Hege. The thing with surprise visits is that both the visitor and the “visitees” might end up surprised. Today it was me, the visitor, since they weren’t at home. I probably should have called first, but that sort of ruins the whole surprise thing.
