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.

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.

LIN YU-TING LOSES AND IMANE KHELIF WINS

Yesterday, we discussed the controversy surrounding the boxing competition at Paris 2024 due to the participation of Algerian Imane Khelif and Taiwanese Lin Yu-Ting, who, after undergoing DNA tests, were found to have XY chromosomes.
The fights are taking place since the IOC allows countries to choose their representatives. On one hand, Lin Yu-Ting lost to the Russian representative, while Imane Khelif won after the Italian Angela Carini withdrew, stating that "it was too strong of a punch."
