ADRENALINE JUNKIES

david
Adrenaline, also known as epinephrine, is a hormone and neurotransmitter produced by the adrenal glands in response to stress or danger. It’s part of the body’s “fight or flight” response, preparing the organism to react quickly to perceived threats.

When adrenaline is released in the body, it triggers a series of physical effects: it increases heart rate, dilates airways, improves blood flow to muscles, and raises blood glucose levels to provide instant energy. These changes enable a person to react faster and with more strength in an emergency situation.

Adrenaline is so addictive because it creates a sense of euphoria and intense energy, which many people find pleasurable. This "high" can lead people to repeatedly seek out risky situations or thrilling activities that trigger the release of adrenaline, such as extreme sports, gambling, or dangerous activities. The body can start to crave that intense feeling, creating a cycle of constantly seeking the next adrenaline rush.

PAUL PFEIFFER. CARYATID

Paul Pfeiffer is a contemporary American artist, born in 1966, known for his innovative work in video, photography, and sculpture. His art often explores popular culture and media, manipulating images to question how we perceive and consume visual content in today’s society.

In his Caryatid series, Pfeiffer uses footage from sporting events to delve into themes of vulnerability and societal pressure on athletes. In the pieces focused on boxing, Pfeiffer digitally removes the opponent, leaving the boxer alone in the ring.
The absence of the adversary creates the illusion that the boxer is being hit by an invisible force, highlighting the loneliness and symbolic weight these athletes bear, both physically and emotionally. This approach encourages reflection on how athletes, much like caryatids in classical architecture, bear the weight of society’s expectations and projections.

Through these manipulations, Pfeiffer transforms fight scenes into visual meditations on human fragility and media pressure, reinterpreting the sports spectacle as a symbolically charged act.

GOPRO'S BEST OF 2K24

I’m not usually a fan of those "best of the year" videos, but this one shared by GoPro on social media is, without a doubt, a gem worth watching. It’s short, easy to take in, and packed with breathtaking footage.

THE BEST FANDOM

Sometimes situations speak for themselves without needing more details. I'll just mention that on a certain day in April, there was a memorable event at the Verburch football club in Poeldijk, known as De Poelluk. During the game, a spontaneous fan ran onto the field. The rest, you can see for yourself.

SHORT TRACK SPEED SKATING RACE

In the Paris 2024 Olympics, a Chinese skater left everyone stunned with a completely unexpected strategy. Instead of following the usual pattern of starting the race at a slow and strategic pace, she stayed at the back of the group from the very beginning. However, before even completing half a lap, she started sprinting as if being chased by a pack of wolves.

The rest of the competitors, surprised and confused, didn’t follow her immediately, remaining stuck in their initial strategy. Meanwhile, the Chinese skater completed an entire lap and positioned herself behind the last skater, leading by a full lap.

When the group decided to sprint in the final laps, the Chinese skater simply kept pace with them, without needing to exert herself further.

CITIUS, ALTIUS, FORTIUS

In Ancient Greece, women were strictly forbidden from participating in the Olympic Games—not as athletes, nor as spectators, except in rare cases. Only unmarried young women were allowed to watch, while married women weren’t even permitted near the stadium. However, they didn’t just stand by; instead, they created their own competition, the Heraean Games, held in honor of the goddess Hera, where they showcased their athletic abilities in foot races.

It wasn’t until the 1900 Paris Olympics that women were finally allowed to compete, but only in a few sports like tennis and golf, and they made up less than 3% of the athletes.

Times have changed, and by the Tokyo 2020 Games, nearly 50% of the participants were women.
