"Time measurement in sports not reliable"

Present basics for time measurement in sports are very indecisive. What consequences does that have for the Olympics 2012?

Support the Olympics 2028 in The Netherlands

We think it’s unique for such a little country as the Netherlands to host the Olympics in 2028. Therefore, we must be proud!

We love field hockey

Hockey is a lovely sport to follow on television and to watch from the side line. However, it has also other unique selling points why we love it...

UEFA Champions League Trophy Tour 2012!

The UEFA Champions League Trophy Tour 2012 presented by Heineken will visit three continents in a month: America, Africa and Asia...

Erbens natuurijs

It was a little bit quiet around us but we are back and how!
Sunday, Erben Wennemars launched Erbens natuurijs. You might wonder what the relation between natuurijs and sports is. Well the yield of the ice goes to Jeugdsportfonds.
We have written almost ten weeks about different sport disciplines and athletes. These athletes had the chance to play sports and have fun. A large amount of children in the Netherlands do not have this chance because their parents do not have enough money to buy sport accessories or to pay for the contribution. Jeugdsportfonds takes care of the children who cannot participate in sports but this costs a lot of money.

Erben Wennemars was a successful speed skater and he has won a lot of titles in his career like  the World Championship sprint. After his skating career he did some things for the television and he was on daily basis in the news about Elfstedentocht in February.
You can buy Erbens natuurijs at Albert Heijn. We think everybody should do this because it’s Spring time and then you have to eat a lot of ice creams. However, the most important reason is that you can personally help a child because all the money of the ice creams will be donated to Jeugdsportfonds.

VIP´s in the cycling circus

Almost a year ago the Tour de France was struck by a new scandal. It was not about doping, bribery or spectators hurting the riders but a car hitting Johnny Hoogerland. The driver of the car was expelled of the Tour de France and Hoogerland was luckily able to step back on his bike. Sadly he fell into barbed wire which resulted in 33 stitches. Everybody who loved cycling was convinced this would never happen again.


De Ronde van Vlaanderen was two days ago and we almost saw the same incident (click here for the video and then choose the video:Volgauto's rijden bijna tegen de renners bij het passeren ). Some cars were overtaking the peloton to reach a small group in front of it. The third car did not see a sign on the side of the road and almost crashed in the peloton. It is ridiculous that this is the second time within a year that a car with VIP´s in it makes such a maneuver. Something needs to be done fast, otherwise people might even die!
