Il 16/12/2016 le due guide alpine svizzere David Hefti e Marcel Schenk hanno percorso la combinazione di ghiaccio e misto ‘Nordest supercombo’ (800m, M7, R) con una linea che unisce la Via Cassin alla via Memento Mori sulla parete NE del Pizzo Badile. Ad un mese esatto dalla prima salita di Amore di Vetro, la via di ghiaccio e misto che risolveva una lungo problema e sogno sulla parete NE del Pizzo Badile, Marcel Schenk è tornato sul “luogo del delitto” insieme a David Hefti per salire quella che loro stessi definiscono come una delle vie di arrampicata su misto migliori che abbiano mai percorso. Dopo Amore di Vetro Schenk…

Il 7 febbraio 2016 all’Aprica la prima tappa del Progetto Icaro 2016, l’iniziativa nata da un’idea di Corrado Icaro De Monte per sensibilizzare i giovani sulla sicurezza in montagna. Si riparte. Finalmente! L’inverno sembrava non iniziare mai, e quindi anche il Progetto Icaro sembrava essersi fermato. Anche solo parlare di Progetto Icaro sembrava non avere senso, nonostante l’iniziativa avesse vinto per la seconda volta consecutiva il premio per il Best Safety Act 2K15 agli Italian Freeride Awards. La verità è che il Progetto è sempre vivo, basta nominarlo per destare entusiasmo, c’è sempre tanta bella energia e voglia di fare. Allora: non aspettate ad iscrivervi alla prima tappa 2016. Un’altra…

Il Tor des Géants 2016 è stato vinto questo pomeriggio da Oliviero Bosatelli dopo 75 ore e 10 minuti. Gli atleti impegnati nell’endurance trail attorno alle montagne oltre i 4000 metri di quota della Valle d’Aosta avranno fino a sabato 17 settembre per completare il percorso ad anello di 330 km, con 24 mila metri di dislivello positivo. Oli Bosa, come lo chiamano i suoi fans, al secolo Oliviero Bosatelli, ha infiammato il Tor e spento gli avversari. Del resto non poteva essere diversamente, per uno che fa il mestiere di Vigile del Fuoco. L’atleta, anzi, il Gigante, di Gandino, 25 km da Bergamo, ha messo il motore al massimo…

Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter’s stake in the NFL is growing. According to a report from TMZ, Carter is going to become part owner of a team. The report, which cited unidentified sources close to the star, didn’t specify which team but said he has “significant ownership interest” and “it is going to happen in the near future.” The timeline is – of course – uncertain, but the news does come after Carter and the NFL announced a joint partnership centered around social justice. The initiative, announced earlier this week, is part of the NFL’s Inspire Change program and will allow Carter’s entertainment company, Roc Nation, to be a co-producer of the…

Leave it to the Patriots to get better at the right time. Wide receiver Josh Gordon has been reinstated by the NFL after he was suspended indefinitely in December for violating the terms of his reinstatement under the league’s substance abuse policy. The league announced his reinstatement – on a conditional basis – on Friday. “We are all rooting for Josh to succeed, both personally and professionally,” commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. “Everyone shares in that hope and will continue to support him to every extent possible. But as Josh acknowledged, ultimately his success is up to him.” Click Here: Gold Coast Suns Guernsey The league also announced…

Tony Cascarino has praised Sol Campbell following his Macclesfield Town exit. The Arsenal legend left the League Two club by mutual consent after eight months in charge on Thursday. Campbell, who won two Premier League titles with the Gunners, saved Macclesfield from relegation last season after taking over with the strugglers bottom of the fourth tier. Despite his on-field success, Macclesfield players have been fighting against unpaid wages over the summer. Ex-Chelsea ace Cascarino told talkSPORT’s Weekend Sports Breakfast: “Sol could probably do a book on what’s happened in the last year as being manager and going to Macclesfield Town. “Going down to that level, I’ve always said if you…

Trevor Sinclair will be commentating on Arsenal vs Burnley for talkSPORT as GameDay kicks off at the Emirates on Saturday – and there’s one player he can’t wait to see in action. The Gunners brought in several big names over the summer and smashed their transfer record to sign Nicolas Pepe from Lille for £73million, but the Ivory Coast star remains among the substitutes for the visit of the Clarets. New signings David Luiz and Dani Ceballos do start, however, and Sinclair believes the Spain Under-21 midfielder could be the pick of the bunch. The former England international told talkSPORT.com: “The jury is still out on Pepe, because I haven’t…

Jan Siewert has been sacked by Huddersfield Town. The Championship club announced they had taken the decision to ditch their manager after Friday night’s 2-1 defeat at home to Fulham. The 36-year-old German had been in charge for seven months, losing 15 of his 19 matches at the helm and winning just one. Huddersfield were relegated from the Premier League last season, with Siewert failing to engineer an upturn in fortunes after replacing David Wagner in January. Their poor form has continued this season, with the Terriers winless from their opening three Championship games. They have also been dumped out of the Carabao Cup by Lincoln. A club statement read:…
