1) The studio can be an embarrassing place for former sports stars. Just ask Jonny Wilkinson, Sam Warburton and Brian O’Driscoll, who have been asked to demonstrate rugby tackles in a virtual dojo while stripped to their socks for ITV’s Rugby World Cup viewers. “It’s shoes off,” says Martin Bayfield, in a show of respect for Japanese culture. Mind you, at least they have not yet taken a tumble live in the studio. Here’s the great man Shaquille O’Neal tripping over a wire, causing a mini earthquake as he crashes to the floor in TNT’s Half-Time Report. And here’s the best mountain biker in Germany introducing herself on Aktuelle Sport by flying over her handlebars. Oof!
2) It was slippery in Yorkshire for the poor cyclists trying to keep their dignity intact while time-trialling through the rain in the road race world championships. Perhaps they should have watched stunt cyclist Danny MacAskill’s guide to powering through a six-foot puddle.
