You ever get that feeling things aren't rather what they appear to be? That feeling when something looks, smells and sounds as you 'd expect, however there's something just a bit different, and you can't quite put your finger on why. Like baseball, but with an uncommon accent. Or the Olympic champ that uses a kite, but out in the ocean!


We're on our bikes with the oldest female to win an Olympic biking medal in the group pursuit discipline. Dotise Bauch was nearly forty when she won silver as part of the US group at London 2012. An exceptional accomplishment, made all the more amazing by her late arrival into the sport, she was recommended by a therapist to take up biking to her mental health, but likewise since she put on the podium on a plant powered diet.


It looks simple enough, but there are fewer more technically requiring sports than Kitesurfing. You ride a board under you, with a massive kite above you and your task is to navigate a course out on water quicker than anybody else, moved by the wind and your ability to remain on the board! And if you still aren't sure exactly what the sport includes concern not since Olympic champion Ellie Aldridge, who won gold in ladies's kite hindering in Paris in 2024, will discuss all


As Baseball's World Series Champions are crowned you might be forgiven for believing that your alternatives for delighting in a video game is restricted ... however what if i told you there remained in reality a small however growing passion for the game in a place you may not expect! And whilst we understand that baseball isn't just an American sport and it's hugely popular in East Asia, the Caribbean, and in South and Central America also. But Europe? Well possibly that's more of a surprise to fans whose dedication is to heaven Jays, the Dodgers or the Yankee's. We are in search of baseball enthusiasts on the other side of the Atlantic.
