I love World Order and I love dubstep. Together its like my eyes and ears just had sex.

I think this excerpt from Wikipedia about World Orders founder may be interesting to all of you -

Genki Sudo is a retired Japanese mixed martial artist and a kickboxer who, until December 31, 2006 competed in the Japanese fighting organization HERO'S and before that, the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He is notable for his elaborate ring entrances and unorthodox fighting style. His philosophy is "We are all one." He is a practicing Buddhist. Signature moves include the flying triangle and spinning backfist

This happed a couple of years ago during Europs NLB championship game. We have two other video's with slightly different angles/cuts of this already (Both sifted 2 years 3 months 1 week ago):

http://videosift.com/video/Don-t-Celebrate-Too-Early

http://videosift.com/video/NLB-League-Final-from-heaven-to-hell-in-0-5sec

I would consider this one to be a dupe of the second one, but they are not exactly the same. Do we need three videos that are only slightly different here?

The whole Olympics is a stupid outdated nationalistic joke.
Nobody watches global individual sport championships but for a couple of weeks they go insane supporting "Their countries team".
Half the Athletes trained in other countries or by coaches from other countries, wearing sport tech researched and developed in other countries.


So? They're still representing their country.

Suggested description:
German girls compete in the Indoor Cycling European Youth Championship at the Varenbeuk Sports Hall in Heerlen, Limburg, Netherlands in 2009

Not that it changes the value of any of these comments but this is not the Olympics, it's the 2012 World Indoor Track and Field Championships held in Istanbul in March.

Edit: I would say this makes the title inaccurate except I was just watching some beach volleyball and I think he's at the Olympics as well.

The po po in Cali are shell-shocked forever after Watts Riot, Compton's Cafeteria Riot, Sunset Strip curfew riots,the Berkeley riots,the White Night gay riots,the 92'Los Angeles riots(Rodney King),the Staples Center/Championship riot, the 2000' Riots in Santa Cruz~

Anaheim Police, afraid to be added to the list sought to quash a potential mob with rubber bullets and puppy-dogs. Hmmmm....all that got burned was a trash dumpster? Shit man, these folks looked predominately Hispanic which is probably why it never escalated into burning down homes and businesses in the immediate area....Pride of ownership and respect for personal property.

#1 ranked in the world...I'll be Kasparov could come outa retirement and destroy this kid. Young whipper snappers. Also the FIDE rating is sort of messed up in certain ways. This guy though can play 10 games at once not looking at the board, that's a special sort of autism right there, pretty neat.

He has played Kasparov before, as he mentions at the end of the clip. They played two matches in 2004. One was a draw and Kasparov won the other one. Of course, Carlsen was only 13 back then, so I think he'd have a considerably better shot now. Anyway, very few chess players can hold a candle to Kasparov in his prime, but Carlsen is one of them, even though their playing styles are very different. Whether his career will be as impressive as Kasparov's remains to be seen, but he's definitely had a good start: youngest world number 1 ever, second highest FIDE ranking ever. He needs to win the World Championship now, but I'm sure that's coming. Incidentally, Kasparov actually coached Carlsen for a little while.

Fuck off with all this helpful information! Anyways Kasparov has been retired for a long time, so yeah Carlsen would probably take him. I still think FIDE rankings are bullshit, the best chess master ever as Fischer dammit!


Fischer was ridiculously dominant in his heyday, but comparing players across eras is difficult. Chess has become so much more professionalized now. The players train a lot harder, and more importantly they have computers to help them train, so in general players at the top levels now have a much tighter game than their counterparts in the 70s. It's kind of like tennis: if you judge based on dominance over his peers, Rod Laver is the greatest tennis player of all time, but I'm sure Federer, Nadal or Djokovic could absolutely spank Laver in his prime.

Still, you'll get no argument from me if you believe Fischer is a strong contender for the "greatest ever" title. I still prefer Kasparov, but I might be biased because Kasparov isn't a racist lunatic. It's good to know that it's possible for a person to be a transcendent chess genius and still be a functional human being.

He actually kind of sucks. He was way out of his depth in the World Rally Championship (finished 22nd of 30 last year). He had marginal success in the American Rally Championship largely because his equipment budget was much higher than anyone else's.

Pretty much all he does of note is making these videos.

I think everyone is too quick to put the racism tag on things.



Try going to junior championship boxing match and listen to the kinds of things that parents are yelling to their kids to do to the other fourteen-year-old in the ring. That was an experience in creative language I won't soon forget.

Also Finland has the best racing drivers. Dunno why.

No endless straight roads, a lot of distance between places, lots of unpaved roads if you want to get a feel for rallying, pretty harsh requirements for a driving license, and a culture that's enthusiastic about racing.
Frankly what astonishes me is that for a population of under 6 million, Finns have won a medal or some sort of championship in just about everything at some point, and without relying on cultural diversity or immigrants (say what you will, in many sports like running there are huge racial differences). Everything on skis/snowboards, just about everything with an engine, most track and field events (though interestingly not sprint events, nothing below 400m at least), boats (F1 boats, sailing, rowing), shooting, many team sports (though we royally suck at soccer, still many individual Finns have ranked among the top players of the world, Jari Litmanen being a prime example), boxing, wrestling and other fight sports, weight lifting, the list goes on.
Must be something in the water of the so called "million lakes".


Damn vikings.

They don't do that because that wouldn't really give them that much points in the competitions, though I've seen some do them in exhibitions. Gymnastics is a very old fashioned and rigid art form, there's not a whole lot of creativity involved. Just like ice skating exhibitions are often more impressive than actual championship competitions, because they're not prohibited from doing flips etc.

Personally that's the main thing that I dislike about watching gymnastics, the overemphasized rigidity. Of course it's better for judging, but I like it more when they kinda just jam around and loosen up a bit, it's more aesthetically pleasing somehow.

EDIT: This guy is a good example of what they can do in practice etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL6uLi4r5G0 Handspring, backflip, handspring, double backflip (with a straight body, much harder), backflip, backflip, handspring and finally a double backflip with a 360 in the first one. So yeah, nothing new here, but not bad either.
