Scout’s Overview
📡 🚨 Weekly Sports Radar: Death Diving

Death diving, or Dødsing, is an extreme diving sport that originated in Norway. It involves athletes jumping from 10 to 150-meter-high platforms and performing acrobatic stunts before landing in the water in a controlled belly flop.

Unlike traditional diving, where the goal is to minimize splash and execute perfect form, death diving is about style, courage, and theatrics. Scoring is based on four key criteria: Form & Style, Creativity, Commitment, and Splash & Impact.

🏋 Athlete of the week: Ryan Peake

Ryan Peake is an Australian golfer who recently won the 2025 New Zealand Open, securing a spot in the British Open.

Fun fact: He used to be an Australian gang member- He was convicted of a five-year prison sentence before turning it around and returning to golf in 2022. What an inspiration.

🏟️ Venue of the week: Panathenaic Stadium

The Panathenaic Stadium in Athens, Greece, is the world's only stadium built entirely of marble and hosted the first modern Olympic Games in 1896.

Fun Fact: It was originally built in 330 BC for the Panathenaic Games and restored almost 2000 years later to host the revival of the Olympics.
