Red Bull Air Race World Series 2008

The Red Bull Air Race World Series features the world’s best pilots in a motor sports competition based on speed, precision and skill.

Using the fastest, most agile and lightweight racing planes, pilots navigate a low-level aerial race track made up of air-filled pylons, reaching speeds of 400 kilometres per hour while withstanding forces of up to 10 Gs.

Touching down in ten cities worldwide in 2008, each Red Bull Air Race is unique. From the heart of the city to the open countryside, over land or water, a Red Bull Air Race can take place almost anywhere. Spectacular backdrops and jaw-dropping action guarantee that spectators experience one of the most innovative and exciting new sports competitions around today.

Fattest Athlete in the World

Even in a sport of the very biggest men, Emanuel Yarbrough stands out above the rest.

The American sumo wrestler is a staggering 6 ft 8 inch, 770 pounds and undoubtedly the heaviest sportsman in the world today.

While most athletes need to be fast and agile, sumo wrestling is all about brute force and being able to push an opponent out of the ring.

Female Sumo Wrestlers

At the age of 14 and weighing in at 20 stone, Samantha-Jane Stacey is born to be a sumo wrestler.

She will be aiming for sporting glory as the youngest Australian to participate in the world wrestling sumo championships this month in Estonia.
Much focus will be on the championships after the sport, plagued with recent scandals, was hit with yet another controversy as three wrestlers admitted beating up a junior trainee who later died.
