Through the eyes of Paula...

With the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics approaching quickly, it may interest some people to learn about some lesser known Olympic sports. To take a break from the well-known events, one can take a chance on watching and learning about a different event. Here are a few unusual Olympic sports.

1. Judo: Judo is a gentle way for athletes to take their opponents down – gentle as in not involving kicking or punching. This martial art uses a combination of throws and muscle power. This year marks 52 years since judo was introduced in the Olympics.

2. Rugby: Rugby may be unusual only because it has been absent from the Olympics for decades. The top contenders for the top prize are the Canadian and American women’s teams.

3. Field hockey: Field hockey is the only Olympic team sport in which there are medalists from all inhabited continents of the world. Historically played on grass, the international federation modified it to be played on a synthetic surface to provide a faster pace for flicking or chasing the ball. At Rio 2016, teams will compete in 15-minute quarters rather than 35-minute halves.

4. Trampoline gymnastics: Trampoline gymnastics only made its debut at the Sydney 2000 games, which is fairly recent. Competitors can compete solo or in teams, and they must execute an array of twists, turns, and other aerial feats while completing 10 bounces that put their bodies several metres above a trampoline.

    Добрый день, всем участникам дискуссии! Недавно воспользовался работой машины https://www.aapeducation.com.au/cb-profile/pluginclass/cbblogs.html?action=blogs&func=show&id=490
    для доставки из аэропорта. В целом впечатление — приятное. Перевозчик приехал точно, транспорт была опрятная, а сам он — корректный. Однако хотелось бы узнать, есть ли у кого-то проверенные компании, которые предлагают более выгодные стоимости. Также интересует, как вы обычно оформляете такси — через программы, по номеру или же выбираете фиксированный расчёт? Буду рад подсказкам и откликам. Спасибо!

    Жилищные споры в Алматы — не редкость. Ошибки в квитанциях, некачественные услуги, затопления, конфликты с управляющими компаниями — всё это требует юридической поддержки http://l91692n8.beget.tech/profile.php?u=onadaro

    Since President Donald Trump won the election in November, businesses across the globe have been bracing for higher tariffs — a key Day One promise the president made.

    But over a week into his presidency, Trump has yet to enact any new tariffs.

    That could change, come 11:59 p.m. ET on Saturday — the deadline Trump set for when he says he will slap 25% tariffs on all Mexican and Canadian goods and a 10% tariff on all Chinese goods.

    The tariffs, he said, will be imposed as a way of punishing the three nations, which Trump claims are responsible for helping people enter the country illegally and supplying fentanyl consumed in the US.

    Speaking to reporters from the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump said he meant business, especially with his tariff threats on Mexico and Canada. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also confirmed on Friday that Trump will levy the 10% tariff on China on Saturday.

    Should these threats be believed? Yes and no, said Trump’s former Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.

    The threat of blanket tariffs is likely being overstated, Ross said in an interview with CNN. “There probably will be exclusions, because there are some goods that just are not made here, will not be made here, and therefore, there’s no particular point putting tariffs on.”

    Ross, who was one of a handful of initial cabinet members in Trump’s first administration who kept their position for the entire four-year term, said he advocated for such exclusions when he advised Trump on tariff policies.
