Best Sport Movie Video Ever

Merry — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 11:42:26 +0000

Is there anything a sports fan enjoys more than a good sports movie except a sport event itself, of course? Taking into account the huge amount of them, I say no. A good sports movie can make you sit on the edge of your seat, laugh, or even cry. But most of all, a good sports movie video makes you care.
• Youngblood. If you are looking for the best movie about hockey, that is what you need. I cannot but mentioning xcellent performance of Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze, Keanu Reeves. The film tells about a 17-year-old farmhand from rural New York state, Dean Youngblood who has dreams of playing in the National Hockey League. He must have proved to everybody and to himself that he can do that.

• More than a Game. Before LeBron James became one of the most unlikeable athletes of all time, this movie helped make him one of the most likeable. The real story here was his friendship with his teammates, which seems to have kept him grounded for as long as humanly possible.

• Any Given Sunday. The movie is a behind the scenes look at the life and death struggles of modern day gladiators and those who lead them. There are a few redeeming moments, though, none more so than when Pacino gives his locker room speech about inches.

• Bend It Like Beckham. Well, the movie is for certain age category. In my opinion, it will be interesting only for teenagers, though I may mistake. The story tells about a young girl who is forbidden to play soccer by religious matters, but—guess what?—she goes against her parents and plays anyway.

• Ali. Will Smith managed to show charisma and strength of will characteristic of a boxing icon Muhammed Ali. Gorgeous story about a legendary person.

Enjoy Cheerleading Bloopers on Video

Merry — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 11:37:45 +0000

It was first in 1898 when Princeton graduate Thomas Peebles introduced the idea of organized crowds cheering at football games. November 2, 1898 become the official birth date of organized cheerleading. Up to now this activity has reached incredible popularity. But even the sun has dark points on it. As agile as cheerleaders are, there are a lot of funny and stupid moments. Luckily, some of them are frequently caught on video. That is why, now we can enjoy best cheerleading bloopers and some curious facts about the activity.

Some people may have an outdated view that it’s just waving pom-poms but if you open your eyes and look at modern cheerleading it’s a lot sportier than many other sports out there. Do you know that 37 per cent of schools offer now cheerleading in PE lessons?
According to teachers, the exciting thing is cheerleading empowers young people to take charge of their lives, to stay fit and active and say no to unhealthy life choices.

In the early 1980s cheerleading passed from being a simple cheering of the public during football or basketball to a real sport activity. Claimed to be the fastest growing sport in the world, it is played in 82 countries, with men and women competing in teams before judges with fast-moving, complex acrobatic routines, blending sports disciplines including tumbling, gymnastics and dance. This sport demands strength, flexibility, lightening quick footwork and, most of all, dedication and teamwork.

There has been debate on whether or not cheerleading truly is a sport. Supporters consider cheerleading, as a whole, a sport, citing the heavy use of athletic talents while critics do not see it as deserving of that status since sport implies a competition among squads and not all squads compete, along with subjectivity of competitions. Anyway, thousands of young active people are involved in cheerleading and feel self-actualized thanks to it.

Tennis: Amazing Facts & Best Moments on Video

Merry — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 08:07:01 +0000

Are you a tennis fan? If you are, do you know, for instance, how many grand slam titles your favorite player has won? Or perhaps, when was the first match of Wimbledon played? Never mind, it is hardly a problem if you do not! There are so many facts and interesting things related to each player of the sport, that it is almost impossible to remember them, even if you are huge fan. But right now, the text coming up will be about interesting tennis factst featuring The Best Moments caught on video.

According to most historians, the game of tennis was invented by French monks in the 11th or 12th century. They hit a ball with their hands over a rope strung across a courtyard or against the walls of the monasteries. The first tennis balls were made of wool or hair wrapped up in leather.
As the game became more popular, players began using a glove with webbing between the fingers or a solid paddle. Eventually players began using a piece of webbing attached to a handle, which became the modern day racquet.

The longest tennis match took place at the 2004 French Open. Two French opponents Fabrice Santoro and Arnaud Clement played two days with a pause of course. The match started on Monday and lasted till it got dark. The next day they continued the match until Santoro finally beat Clement.
On the contrary, the shortest match in the history of tennis took was registered at the 1988 French Open when Steffi Graf beat Natasha Zvereva 6-0, 6-0 in a mere 32 minutes. That is really amazing!

The credit to the fastest serve officially recorded goes to American player Andy Roddick, at 155 mph, or 249.4 kph. He achieved this feat on September 27, 2004 in a Davis Cup match against Vladimir Voltchkov. The fastest serve in women’s tennis was recorded by Venus Williams. The serve clocked 127.4 mph, or 205 km/h and it was in European Indoor Championships.

Enjoy The Worst Bowling Shots Ever on Video

Merry — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 07:59:56 +0000

Bowling is a sport that you can do at an early age and enjoy for a lifetime. Bowling is a good exercise that works over a hundred of different muscles yet it does not take a lot of strength to become a good bowler. This game also works to improve hand-eye coordination. It takes practice to become good and with confidence. But now everybody plays it and does not think about necessary skills and practice. That is why everybody who has visited bowling centers could see people who ruin the game, the gutter, balls and pins. Below is a compilation of The Worst Shots Ever caught on video and some curious facts about bowling.

Some historians say that bowling has existed since Egyptian times and that one of the earliest Egyptian pharaohs was uncovered with primitive bowling pins and balls in his tomb. Others argue this fact, but all of them agree the sport has existed in some form or another since at least 300 AD in Germany. Later on, bowling has come a long way in the last millennia. And now it is one of the most popular sports and there’s even an active movement to make bowling an Olympic sport.

The biggest celebrities in professional bowling have been Jeremy Sonnenfeld, who is the first person to ever roll three perfect games in a row in a three-game series, and Chaz Dennis who is the youngest person in history to bowl a perfect game.

Nowadays a lot of bowling connoisseurs claim that modern technology has been making victory increasingly easy to achieve. Changing materials in balls, synthetic lane materials, oiling machines that lay out the oiling patterns in ways that make it easier to hit the pins, have all made bowling far easier. For that reason these dedicated bowlers have developed a specific set of rules for what they call “sport bowling”, that makes the game more challenging as it was earlier.

Best Windsurfing Moments on Video

Merry — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 07:39:46 +0000

The sport quickly spread throughout North America, and by the late 1970s it had become widely popular in Europe. Its popularity soon spawned a thriving sailboard-manufacturing industry in Europe.

There is a lot of variation in modern sailboard design. The boards now usually range from two to four meters and weigh between seven to eighteen kg. By the way, some boards can reach speeds of over forty knots. There are also different types of modern windsurfing that include racing, slalom, freestyle and wave sailing.

It is amazing that windsurfing was included in the Olympic Games. Olympic windsurfing features sailors who race over a traditional triangle course. It was first contested in 1984, as a demonstration sport, with separate competitions for men and later on for women. There were some equipment changes in successive Olympiads: sailboards of the Windglider design were used at the 1984 Games, Division II boards in 1988, Lechner boards in 1992, etc.

Summer is a season when everybody does not want to stay at home and prefers to change the view. The majority of people go to the seaside where lots of activities wait for them. Somebody loves to lay on the beach sunbathing, while others choose active rest. Below are some video loops of the best windsurfing moments caught on video. Enjoy them and get to know new facts about the sport.

Windsurfing is one of the most amazing and captivating water activities. It is also called sail-boarding or board-sailing and means a water sport that requires a sail and board device and combines elements of surfing and sailing. This sport activity was invented in the USA during the 1960s by Hoyle Schweitzer, a surfer, and Jim Drake, a sailor. Hey received the first patent for a sailboard, called it a Windsurfer and started the history of windsurfing.

Free Fight Video: Worst Boxing Moments Ever

Merry — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 08:28:27 +0000

Professional boxing is an extremely popular sport but the rise of MMA, a lack of a central governing body, corruption and players themselves have threatened to end this glorious sport. Mega fights still bring in huge revenues but they are few and far between, while numerous incidents contribute to the downfall. Here are some of them and a series of the worst fight videos ever:

Everybody is aware of corrupted Olympic judges and numerous stories about their unfair decisions. New Zealander Keith Walker was officiating a bantamweight bout between Byun Jong Il of South Korea and Alexander Hristov of Bulgaria. The fight was an ugly foul-filled affair and Walker had to repeatedly penalize Jong for head butting. Finally Hristov was announced a winner, which incensed Jong’s countrymen. South Korean boxing officials and coaches stormed the ring and viciously attacked referee Keith Walker. The Korean Boxing Federation president and the president of the Korean Olympic Committee both resigned after this deplorable incident.

In 1996 Andrew Golota fought against Riddick Bowe. In the 7th round the fight began to take a very strange turn. For some reason Golota started to punch the rival below the belt line. He was warned several times and even received point deductions but his behavior continued unless the player was disqualified. That led to a riot where dozens of fans, boxing personnel and police were injured.

A superstar in South Korea, Kim earned a world title shot against the famed Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini in 1982. For Kim the fight was extremely brutal. In the 14th round Kim was knocked out, in spite of the fact that he managed to rise the referee stopped the fight. Minutes later Duk Koo Kim collapsed into a coma and was carried out of the ring and taken directly to the hospital. Tragically the Korean star died 4 days later from severe brain trauma. His mother committed suicide three months later, Ray Mancini reported that he blamed himself for Kim’s death.

Best & Worst Moments of the World Cup 2010 on Video

Merry — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 08:24:35 +0000

And one more time I return to the topic of the World Cup 2010 as it is doubtlessly the biggest sport event in the world. Now when the epic tournament is over, it is time to remember the Bet sand the Worst moments that have been spotted so far.
Before the tournament Nike launched an ad that resulted a sort of curse, or at least they say that now. The point is every football player featured in the ad was a huge disappointment on the tournament. Among them there were Ronaldinho who didn’t even make the Brazilian squad, Drogba, Rooney with no goals, Cannavaro, Kaka, totally adrift and others.

Another video presents a truly masterful strike for South Africa. Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s 40-yard screamer that ended up in the top corner of the net was doubtlessly the most jaw-dropping goal of the tournament.

What can be considered the worst moment for a football team, their fans and the whole world that is watching the tournament? That is miss! But even among misses there are the worst ones. A vivid example is the match between Nigeria and Korea. Nigeria’s Yakubu Aiyegbeni misses a wide-open tap-in from 2 yards away. And yet how effortless he made it all look! Now the video is on the Internet with the title “World Worst Miss Ever”.

Horrible refereeing is a fixture of any World Cup. While 2006 was darkened by an absurd amount of yellow cards, 2010 World Cup was the victim of too many good goals being disallowed and too many bad ones being allowed to stand. The most shocking case was during Argentina vs Mexico match. Carlos Tevez’s goal was considered as offside. The question is how many feet was Carlos Tevez offside against Mexico? I wonder if the referee could answer this simple and evident question.
