Dudes, I know it’s bench day. But check out Fierljeppen. Pole vault climb for max distance across a river.
(lit. far-leaping) is a traditional sport of the Frisians and of the Dutch.
And these guys take some serious impacts.
I want that included in the Olympics. Below you will see Bart Helmholt doing his thing.
Also check out the previous Sport of the Day – Jala Neti

Hey Gregor!
Really good and interesting blog, just discovered it recently.
I like the new style, although I preferred the chronological order of the posts, all with the same size.
Plus the comment button shoud be at the ending of the post.
Just my 2 cents.
Keep up the good work,
Best regards,
Sebastian

Thanks a lot for the feedback Sebastian. I really appreciate this as I constantly want to improve the site.
I am by no means an expert with this stuff and basically have to learn everything from scratch.
I have a big to do list right now and slowly but surely will work my way through it. All the little things take up a lot of time I rather would like to spend creating content.
But good point on the missing comment button at the bottom. That needs to be fixed.

I would shit myself just trying that.

Haha, I can imagine there being a huge fail video compilation of this sport. There is just so much that could go wrong. Love it.
