Serena back on court in outrageous outfit

 Serena Williams is back on the tennis court for the first time since a health scare sidelined her two months ago. And, in typical Serena fashion, she did so in style:
What, you expected the woman who once wore this to a US Open to practice in a tennis skirt and sweater vest? If Serena is coming back, it's going to be with some gusto.
The 13-time Grand Slam champion had been hinting at a return to the court for the past few days on her Twitter account. Cryptic messages like "my life starts today" and "back on the shakes" foreshadowed Tuesday's practice session, which was announced in the third-person and later confirmed by her agent.

The outfit, however, was a complete surprise. It's not like Serena had given any warnings that she had recently watched Molly Ringwald in "Pretty In Pink" or was reading "Catwoman" comic books.

There's no word as of yet on when Serena will return to competitive play. It'll come in time. For now, just seeing her on the court with a racquet in her hand is good news enough.

Wrestler with no arms and legs - Dustin Carter

The first story of Dustin Carter. At an early age he suffered from a blood disease, because of which he lost on the part of all four extremities. In eighth grade he joined the school team to fight, even though no one expected that he would be able to achieve anything in this field. And indeed, for a long time he did not succeed. But the hard work and daily exercise have brought their results in the higher grades. Carter represented his school atthe championship in wrestling in Ohio. He was awarded one of the first place among 16 participants in his weight class.

Uneven Ankle-Breaking Basketball Court in Germany

In Munich, Germany there lies an insane basketball court on the grounds of an occupational school. It may look like a regular court from far, but come up close and you'll soon realize that it would be nearly impossible to play a game on it! Art collective Inges Idee designed this wacky space. The playable court was morphed in a 3D program to make it resemble the grounds of a roller coaster with highs and lows. It makes for quite the recreational space complete with hoops and, yes, lights!

The festival of San Fermn - 2011

The festival of San Fermn in the city of Pamplona (Navarre, Spain), is a deeply rooted celebration held annually from 12:00, 6 July, when the opening of the fiesta is marked by setting off the pyrotechnic chupinazo to midnight 14 July, with the singing of the Pobre de M. While its most famous event is the encierro, or the running of the bulls, the week-long celebration involves many other traditional and folkloric events. It is known locally as Sanfermines and is held in honor of Saint Fermin, the co-patron of Navarre. Its events were central to the plot of The Sun Also Rises, by Ernest Hemingway, which brought it to the general attention of English-speaking people. It has become probably the most internationally renowned fiesta in Spain. Over 1,000,000 people come to watch this festival.
