Remember that time when that unattractive woman won Miss California? No, because it didn’t happen. Michael Phelps seems to have found himself a keeper after dropping knee yesterday.
Oh dear Mbalula, what have you said now? It looks like an apology by the ANC to yet ANOTHER African country will need to be made after this guy went and said something rather embarrassing. Again. On Tuesday, Fikile Mbalula who is our country’s Minister of Sport and Recreation, sat at a meeting with some […]
Sochi, Russia, post the 2014 Winter Olympics is looking a little, er, dead. Deader than dead actually. In fact we would go as far as to say that the next time Hollywood sends out a location scout to find the perfect spot to shoot a block-buster Zombie apocalypse flick, Sochi should be the location of choice.
If you, like me, aren’t exactly an impressive athletic specimen, then this is the closest you’re likely to come to knowing what it feels like to ski down an Olympic-level piste. Graham Bell does know what it feels like. In fact, he knows what it feels like to ski down that course holding a camera. Because he’s a badass.
Much has been made of Russia’s homophobic policies in the lead up to the 2014 Olympics.The Canadian Institute of Diversity and Inclusion have therefore taken it upon themselves to piss the Russians off with the stunning combination of lycra body suits, synchronised thrusting, Human League, and an Olympic sport.
UN goes hard at Vatican. Mia Farrow’s son takes Woody’s side. Hoffman death: 4 arrested. Olympics worried about toothpaste bombs. 9 trapped in SA gold mine. Google facing massive $5 billion fine. Twitter shares tanking after loss. Beckham’s grand plan revealed. Bieber pilots had to wear gas masks.
Coca-Cola’s Olympics PR nightmare. ANC calls DA’s Ramphele move ‘rent-a-black.’ Italian Mafia executes 3-year-old. Depp engaged. The iPod is over. The Pope is officially a rockstar. Prince sues fans. Universal boss urges Bieber intervention.
Just about how many times have you had to go to toilet mid-conversation with your buddy, only to sit on the toilet and feel desperately alone?
The Winter Olympics in Russia have not yet begun, but the scandals surrounding the games in Sochi started a while ago. One would think that hosting an international event in a country run by a despotic, homophobic regime would be a bad idea. Washington Post journo, Charles Lane seems to think so – he called the olympics a “corrupt quadrennial exercise.”
At the Short Track European Championships, the final proper tune-up before the Winter Olympics, Russia’s Viktor Ahn had defeated the Netherlands’ Sjinkie Knegt in the men’s 5000m team relay. The race wasn’t a close one at all – and Knegt felt he needed to vent some anger. This is how he did it.
Wrestling to be dropped from Olympics. Elon Musk angry with car review. Foreigners can’t buy farmland in SA. Woman dies from drinking too much coke. LA fugitive found and killed. UK horse meat scandal gets heavy. Now you can use Twitter to pay for things.
Double Olympic gold medalist Mo Farah has revealed that he was detained by American border officials on suspicion of being a terrorist when trying to enter the country for Christmas.
2oceansvibe is proud to present the young man, Cameron Van Der Burgh, who represented our country so well at the London Olympics. He’ll be making an appearance on The Bailey Schneider Show between 14h00 and 15h00 today! The 100m breaststroke gold medalist secured South Africa’s first gold medal at the London Olympics and broke the world record […]
The overly pink London games are over, and hopefully the memories of the Lisa-Simpson-giving-Bart-a-blowjob logo will soon fade. The logo for the Rio games was revealed to the world at the closing ceremony, and it turns out that there’s more to it than just the beautiful symbolism of people holding hands.
As we all know, matric dance season is here. For hormonal teenage girls, and high schoolers in general, this is a very stressful time of the year. Even if you’ve got your dress, car, before- and after-parties, and everything in-between sorted, you’re still have to find the perfect date. So why not ask Chad le Clos?
The London Olympics has hardly even had time to enjoy its success and already Rio is attempting to steal its shine, earlier this week releasing the official theme song for the 2016 Olympics. As can be expected, the new song and video showcase the typical laid-back, tropical style associated with the South American gem.
Of all the things that attract people to the Olympics, record-breaking performances are surely near the top of the list. People sit in anticipation at the venues, or huddled around TVs at home and in pubs, waiting for records which once seemed inconceivable to be smashed by the latest crop of top athletes. And then four years on, they do it again, ad infinitum, or will they?
Undisputed fasted man alive, Usain Bolt, is fast. Really fast. The New York Times has already compared him to every other 100m athlete that’s ever run in the 100m event, but how would he compare against something that isn’t human? Like the force of gravity?
The Olympics are officially and you’ve undoubtedly been left with a gaping void in desperate need of filling. Seeing as the next epic installment is four long years away, it’s best to start weening yourself off slowly as soon as possible and what better way to begin that process than with an awesome gallery of multi-exposure photographs from this year’s games.
It’s no secret that here at 2oceansvibe we’re rather fond of London mayor Boris Johnson. Who wouldn’t be? He must have had a rough two weeks, running the city during the world’s largest event, so it seems only natural he’d let his hair down at the closing ceremony.
The Olympics are over, but which country really ranks where on the medal table? There is no official way of ranking the medal count because the media decides.
Last night the 2012 Olympics came to a grand end with the official closing ceremony. A scale model of London took centre stage and was wrapped entirely in newspaper. Damien Hirst interpreted the Union Flag by using members of the crowd, and black London cabs performed a taxi ballet.
The Telegraph has put together what they believe to be the 10 best photographs of the Olympics so far. There are some pretty spectacular images in the selection, but I found them to be a little biased toward team Britain.
Five female Olympic Gymnasts on an open-top double-decker bus in London teaching George Bush’s daughter how to Dougie. Kind of sounds like some bizarre fantasy, doesn’t it? Except it’s not, it’s exactly what happened earlier this week.
This must be any photographer’s dream – Usain Bolt, the undisputed fastest man alive, grabbed an Olympic photographer’s camera and started snapping pics straight from the track.
It takes a lot to get to the Olympics. Strict training, years of dedication and many, many sacrifices. Especially when you come from a country like Germany, where the competition to make the cut is tough. When you finally make it onto the springboard at the London Games, it must really suck to Feck it up.
It is incredible to think that we are just over halfway through the Olympics already! More than 10 000 athletes from 200 national Olympic committees around the globe are taking part, and so far dozens of Olympic and World Records have already been broken – resulting in more than 500 medals already awarded!
Finally, Google have stepped it up and delivered the kind of awesomeness we’ve come to expect from them! Their initial Olympic doodle was a bit of let down, offering no real interaction or fun Easter Eggs, today’s however is right up there with the best of them.
If you are going to be a big douche at the Olympics, don’t do it with Edith Bosch, Netherland’s world judo champion, standing next to you. Bosch put her skills to use at the 100m final on Sunday night, by hitting a moronic spectator who threw a bottle onto the track just before the race.
We know that Usain Bolt is one man that does his surname justice. Officially the fastest man on the planet, and with four Olympic gold medals behind his name, he may arguably be the best sprinter that the world has ever seen. But how does he stack up against former medalists?
