A snowboarder makes history (despite a fracture)

On January 24th, during the X Games in Aspen, Colorado, a highly recognized extreme sports competition, the young Japanese snowboarder, Hiroto Ogiwara, made history.

In fact, the 20-year-old athlete achieved the very first recorded 2340 in the history of an official competition!

A 2340 is a trick that consists of performing six and a half rotations in the air. As soon as he took off from the jump, Ogiwara immediately began his spin, giving himself the necessary time to complete the entire maneuver before finishing his run by landing in front of the spectators while celebrating his feat. This is a milestone, so we can understand his excitement.

The judges gave him a score of 97.33, securing the gold medal with nearly 3 points ahead of Taiga Hasegawa in second place. Notably, Rocco Jamieson completed the podium trio.

This achievement was made despite the fact that Ogiwara had sustained a minor fracture in his arm during a prior training session. He had received the green light to participate in the tournament, but one might still think he wasn’t at 100%, nonetheless. This information makes this accomplishment even more impressive, and hats off to the young man for his remarkable resilience!

The young athlete continues to make waves in his field, having been on a steady rise since his official debut in 2017, starting competitions of this kind at the age of 12.

He is particularly known for his triumphs at the Japanese junior ski championships, in addition to having won major honors at the senior level afterward (2021 and 2022).

Donald Trump spotted at the Super Bowl with his daughter Ivanka and under heavy security

Donald Trump was finally spotted at Super Bowl LIX with his daughter Ivanka… under heavy security and without a smile.

The American president indeed seemed a bit upset in the photos captured of him so far, but that didn’t stop him from giving his best salute during the national anthem of his country. In the pictures, we can also see the owner of the New Orleans Saints, Gayle Benson, the host franchise of the Super Bowl this year.

At least, Ivanka seemed to be having (slightly) more fun!

They reportedly managed to break into a farm building on royal land near Windsor Castle.

Although King Charles and Queen Camilla were not residing at the castle at the time of the break-in, it is assumed that Prince William and his family were asleep at their Adelaide Cottage residence.

The latter is located just a few minutes from the fence the thieves hit during their escape, on the grounds of Windsor Castle.

According to sources quoted by The Sun, this burglary may have been meticulously planned.
