Superstar boxer Wladimir Klitschko told CNN that he sold the gold medal he won at the 1996 Atlanta Games for $1 million, with the funds going to the Klitschko Brothers foundation -- a charity set up by him and his brother Vitali to help impoverished children in their home nation of Ukraine.

"We care about education and sport, that is the key in any children's life," Wladimir said.

"If they have knowledge, they can succeed with that in their adult life and sport gives them the rules -- how to respect your opponent, how to respect the rules.”

"It is always in life like that, you go down but you have to get up, and sport gives you this great lesson."

Fingers of Steel - Mini Skateboarding


Fingers of Steel from Sebastian Linda on Vimeo.

"Chris Heck fought his way up over the most dangerous, lifethreatening tricks, with numerous sore finger injuryies, and nerval breakdowns to where he is today.

Since winning the German championship in 2003, he worked everyday on his inventive tricks while phoning with his wife wife Anna, on his wooden kitchen table.

Through this hard training his fingers became harder than any industry steal you can buy.

His Pro Model, with a a red Skwirral, (which is his favorite animal, right after turtles and foxes) crowns his legendary 21 years of Finger Skateboarding.

Ladies and gentlemen.

In fact, he competes professionally for the U.S. Paralympic Archery Team and even set the Guinness World Record for longest accurate shot in archery. In Stutzman's words, 'no matter what the challenge is, you can overcome it.'"

ACROSS THE SKY - a world record slackline in the utah desert

ACROSS THE SKY - a world record slackline in the utah desert from Camp 4 Collective on Vimeo.


"On November 15, 2015 Théo Sanson walked nearly 500 meters on a slackline rigged from The Rectory to Castleton Tower in Castle Valley, Utah - likely a new world record. Rigging the line is perhaps as significant a feat as walking it."
