Klara Peric, the wonderful Croatian volleyball player

Formula1 is one of the most watched and followed sports shows in the world. The premier category of motorsport features the most extreme, fastest cars and the most talented and skilled drivers in the world. Over the years, safety has also made great strides, mindful of past tragedies.

So many great champions have in fact lost their lives whose World Championship circuits, others have come very close, and still others, in more recent times, have been saved by luck and technology, which today makes it possible to safeguard the lives of drivers despite traveling at over 300 km/h.

In this article we offer a brief sequence of what have been the most frightening and terrible accidents, including fatal ones, in F1 history.

Australian tennis player Ajla Tomljanovic is in the spotlight in the new Netflix documentary "Break Point".

Learn the story and interesting facts about Ajla Tomljanovic, the Croatian-born Australian tennis player who has won the hearts of fans around the world.

She has not yet won a WTA tournament and her best ranking is the current 33rd place and still she is one of the most followed tennis players.

From her origins to her life off the court, here are some fascinating facts about this talented athlete.

A few days ago the new Ferrari SF-23, the single-seater that will run in the Formula 1 world championship from the weekend of March 5-7 in Bahrain, was unveiled in Fiorano. The Cavallino Rampante has become an iconic brand in the racing world both for its successes but also for its extremely beautiful and refined models.

Some historic single-seaters from Ferrari are still among the most expensive cars in the world, and a rare commodity for the most avid and wealthy collectors.

In the wake of the Ferrari presentation, we tried to think about what might be some of the most iconic models in history.

Imagination, intuition, keen eye and speed of execution. Formula 1 drivers employ these skills, on the track, to try to file down a tenth of a second in each corner, and off the track to taunt their colleagues.

When they take off their helmets, some prefer to relax, locking themselves in motor homes, alone or with family members.

Others, however, are eager to have fun and often do so by pulling pranks on teammates or other team members. We have chosen some of the most successful ones on and off the track.

On Sunday, 16 April, former Dutch footballer Arjen Robben ran the Rotterdam Marathon, completing it in less than three hours. An excellent result for the former Bayern Munich phenomenon who, even now at 39 years of age, still continues to dedicate himself to the world of sport, even without the classic feint to return with his left hand.

Less sprinting and more endurance, it may be a coincidence, but many former footballers, once they have hung up their boots, devote themselves to the queen of races, the marathon. 

Robben is in fact only the latest in a long list of champions who attempt the feat and test their physiques, trained for years in very different ways.

After Jaylen Brown's contract renewal with the Boston Celtics, what is in fact the richest deal in the history of the American professional basketball league, 'Sky Sports' went looking for the other pharaonic contracts in the NBA.

The list of the five biggest contracts ever signed obviously only includes contemporary players, and in fact there is no mention of the technical value of the player but only of his 'salary'.

Incredibly, neither LeBron James nor Steph Curry are on this list.

The calendar of the first World Championship in Formula 1, that of 1950, contained seven grands prix. Seven circuits, therefore, three of which are incredibly still used (Silverstone, Montecarlo, Monza), one... almost (Spa-Francorchamps), two completely abandoned (Bremgarten, Reims).

Here are some of the tracks on which the Formula 1 has left traces of its history, but which are no longer part, for various reasons, of the calendar.

Let's start with the first two decades.

Forbes' has compiled the ranking of the highest-paid sportsmen in 2023. At the top is footballer Cristiano Ronaldo thanks to his millionaire contract with his current team, Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia.

Two other footballers complete the podium, but in the top 10 there are athletes from four sports: basketball, tennis, golf and...boxing. NBA stars known to all sportsmen and women, and golf champions who have rich prize money at tournaments.

The ranking takes into account both earnings from sports and 'off the field' earnings from sponsorships and image rights.

The competition will consist of 104 matches and 48 teams will participate. The Fifa Governing Council has, in fact, unanimously approved the proposal to change the format of the review. The rounds will remain four-team and there will be 12 instead of 16 three-team groups as first thought.

Ronda Rousey is undoubtedly one of the most iconic athletes of recent years. She started out as a judoka, winning an Olympic bronze medal at Beijing 2008.

With an impressive career in mixed martial arts and a strong personality, Rousey has won the hearts of fans around the world. 

But what makes Ronda Rousey so special? In this photo gallery, we explore her career, achievements and personality and try to understand why she has become the world's most clicked athlete.

In team sports, especially in the world of football, it is very common to become a coach after a career on the field, although it is not automatic that being a great footballer is equivalent to becoming a great coach.

There are cases, for example Trapattoni, Guardiola, Cruyff or Capello, who from great players (exceptional in the case of the late Johann) have become great coaches.

But also those like Maradona, Pelè or Toni Adams, to whom this passage did not bring the same success.
