  9. Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympic athlete of all time, has revealed what no sports fan wants to hear – that Olympic swimmers occasionally relieve themselves in the pool.

  10. Algerian runner banned for not trying hard enough at London 2012 • TaoufikMakhloufi, an Algerian who was one of the favourites for gold in the 1500 metres, was ejected over his “failure to compete honestly” in the 800m where he did not finish the race. • But on Monday night he was reinstated in the 1500 after the Algerian federation insisted he had a knee problem and that organisers knew about it.

  11. Loch Ness monster. • Nessie hunter George Edwards has waited 26 years for this sight, and he now believes he has the best picture ever taken of the Loch Ness monster. • He spends around 60 hours a week taking tourists out on his boat Nessie Hunter IV, and has led numerous Nessie hunts over the years. • But this image has convinced him that there really is a monster - or monsters - out there. • After watching the object for five to ten minutes, Mr Edwards said it slowly sank below the surface and never

  30. Sports Hernia • is the weakening of the inside of the lower abdominal wall, which is believed to be a result of overuse. • Symptoms of sports hernia include a sudden onset of groin pain, which may radiate into the lower abdomen and testicles. • These symptoms increase with activity causing strain on the abdominal cavity such as a sit up, coughing, and sneezing.

  31. What is this?

  32. Kinesiology Tape

  33. Kinesiology Tape • The tape is used in therapy in an attempt to relax overused muscles and in rehabilitation to try to facilitate underused muscles. • The elastic properties can also be utilized in a mechanical fashion to limit or encourage a specific motion at a joint.

  34. Kinesiology Tape • So far there is no scientific evidence that elastic therapeutic taping produces clinically significant benefits. • A 2012 systematic review found that the efficacy of Kinesio Tape in pain relief was trivial given that no studies found clinically important results. • KinesioTape may have a small beneficial role in improving strength, range of motion in certain injured cohorts and force sense error compared with other elastic tapes, but further studies are needed to confirm these findings.

  35. Why Yellow Shoes?

  36. Answer • The color is just what was used by the company who made them. There is no reason they are one certain color. • While Adidas has dominated the London 2012 Olympics as an Official Team GB Sponsor, it seems Nike has still managed to grab some of the attention with its neon yellow running shoes which are, quite frankly, hard to miss.
