Eptathletes hand in hand
I found this nice picture on Flickr 
Eptathletes after Osaka Eptathlon 2nd day.
Let’s guess who they are! Read the following names in order of appearence from right to left (fotofinish rules )))
Vasilikí Delinikóla, Linda Züblin, Yvonne Wisse, Aryiró Stratáki, Jessica Samuelsson, Olga Kurban, Ida Marcussen, Karolina Tyminska (I suppose… ) preceding for some centemeters Sonja Kesselschläger, Irina Naumenko and Nataliya Dobrynska.
It would be nice to have them all! OK, I’ll search some other photo 
Post Update…
As promised, I found another one
Same order: Marie Collonvillé, Simone Oberer, Aiga Grabuste, Linda Züblin, Carolina Klüft, Jessica Ennis, Sylvie Dufour, Lyudmila Blonska and Kelly Sotherton
Movie review: Grindhouse – Planet Terror
ASTONISHING. I was incredibly impressed by the second fragment of Grindhouse: Planet Terror. It is that kind of movie that you can leave the cinema before it ends, or you can be captured for its insanity and non-sense violence and irony. You need a genius (and Robert Rodriguez who wrote and directed the movie, is, indeed) if you pretend any possibility to make the second thing happen, with such an extremely Splatter movie
You can definitely see that Rodriguez had a lot of fun directing it! He must be ‘orgasmically’ pleased to being able to put on a film EVERY scene and EVERY shot he directed.
What about the characters created by RR.. ?!? Cherry (Rose McGowan), the gogo dancer who loses her left leg, J.T. (Jeff Fahey) the fool BBQ owner, Lt. Muldoon (Bruce Willis) with his unutterable secrets, and at least other 5 incredible ones.
This could be the most important difference between Planet Terror and Death Proof. In the first movie, Tarantino had a great satisfaction of the exterior appearence, in the second one is Rodriguez’s insanity that dominates everything.
just to taste:
Lt. Muldoon: Where are my men?
Abby: [ throws a bag to Lt. Muldoon] I put several right here.
Lt. Muldoon: What the fuck is this?
Abby: Their balls, sweetheart.
I really suggest to watch it, but don’t be disapponted if the former thing happens
100 minutes Decathlon results
Yesterday evening 3 brave guys did the 100 minutes Decathlon in Besana… I suppose that nobody who was not there can imagine how weather conditions were
I’m waiting for the event photos, and it will be evident, I’ll post about it; anyway, it was raining a lot, and less that 10 degrees, certainly not a good day for a decathlon.
Despite that, Lukas, Matteo and Paolo pushed all their best energies; they absolutely had no fear , great job guys!
Results: note that they had some points penalty because they exceeded the 100 minutes for some seconds

I’m sorry for the low image quality 
What about Jet Lag for athletics competitions?
I was interested in Jet Lag symptoms and remedies, thinking about Osaka World Athletics Champioships, and I found this interesting article by Thomas Reilly, speaking about symptoms, circadian desynchronization and reduction of jet lag. Here the most interesting extracts of the article:
- First of all: it takes 24 hours for each time zone you are passing, in order to completely recover your biorhythms.
- 2-3 days after the desembarkation are worse then the immediate day after, then gradually, it will go better and better. Even in these difficult days, there is a better day period to train, (usually from Europe to East is during the morning).
- Eastward travels are much worse than Westward ones! (Osaka case )
- Don’t try to get used to the new time when you are still at home (wake up in the night and go to bed at strange times)
- Sleeping time is not the only thing you have to pay attention to; light time and social time factors are also important.
