An unusual technique in the long jump (1974) The early 1970s in athletics is an extremely interesting time. The technique of most sports is not yet settled, and athletes are constantly inventing new methods. What is the best technique for pole vaulting or high jumping?; How to throw a javelin or discus more effectively; The answers to these questions were sought during the games. The most famous of the innovators is Dick Fosbury, the 1968 Olympic champion in the high jump. He was the one who invented the Fosbury flop jump - the style of crossing the forearm with the back forward, which is now applied by all athletes. Before the Fosbury flop, the jump was done with the feet forward. Another innovator was Tuariki Delamere, a New Zealander from the University of Washington. Delamere invented a new way of long jumping and named it "somersault" (Tuba). He first used this technique at the 1974 Commonwealth Games in Christchurch, New Zealand. Although he jumped a distance of 8,40 meters, it was his hands that betrayed him as he rested them on the sand. So the jump was counted at 7,70 meters. Somersaulting is more mechanically efficient, as the angle of repulsion during such a jump becomes greater. Unfortunately, in the same year, the international federation banned any rotation during the long jump, as dangerous for the health of athletes. This restriction is still in place today (Article 30.1.3 of the World Athletics competition rules).

The darkest building in the world Asif Khan has unveiled a pavilion at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games in South Korea, described as the "darkest building on earth". The British architect spray-painted the 10-metre-high temporary structure with Vantablack VBx2, a substance that absorbs over 99 per cent of light. Vantablack VBx2, is a sprayable version of Vantablack pigment, which British artist Anish Kapoor controversially acquired exclusive rights for in 2016. Rods tipped with tiny white lights protrude from the "super-black" parabolic curves of all four sides of the pavilion, giving the impression of stars suspended against the darkness of space. Speaking to Dezeen, Khan – who describes himself as a "closet astronaut" – said he "wanted to create the impression of a window cut into space". "It's a preoccupation of mine, trying to create experiences to better understand where we are now as humans, placing ourselves in the big picture," said Khan.
