If I ever wanted fashion advice, I certainly wouldn't ask a footballer. Apparently Tottenham's Gareth Bale thinks he knows better, though. Like Mo Farah and Usain Bolt before him, he's selling out to the moneyman, using his incredibly famous heart-shaped goal celebration to flog you clothes and bags. Yeah, I'm sure it'll be amazing.

Manchester City might not have won the league, but at least it'll have a whole stadium filled with Cisco's "intelligent high-density Wi-Fi" for fans to stream things like instant replays or tweet their frustration with some overpaid diving twerp. Could be awesome for action replays -- the best of TV brought directly into the stadium on your phone? [TNW] Read More >>

Watching ice hockey and playing ice hockey are two entirely different experiences. Or at least they were until Joseph Lallouz got his hands on a pair of Google's new wearable computer system and took it to his local skating rink. The result — awesome first person hockey. Hint, hint NHL/Premier League/cricket/golf. Read More >>

When Archimedes thought up his revolutionary water-pumping screw, little did he know that one day a group of high school students in Lyon, France would find a better use for his design.

Have you ever wondered how an F1 car is actually put together? Slotting the whole structure, gubbins, guts, and gears together like a massive jigsaw puzzle? Watch Marussia build its F1 car for this season from start to finish. It's like the best Lego project you've ever seen, but real. Read More >>
When you think of the best of F1 drivers, you kind of assume that their prowess on the track is god-given, and while you might be right to some extent, they certainly practice, a lot. This is the very simulator that Ferrari built for Fernando Alonso, and apparently it can even be programmed to teach him new tricks. Read More >>
You've probably been impressed with playground kids jumping rope (or is it jump roping?). You've already seen boxers whip the jump rope fast enough to create a wormhole. But you've never seen a person jump rope like this. This woman is absolutely incredible. Read More >>

Professional race drivers spend hours in a car battling excessive G-forces, and so require just as much training and physical fitness as an athlete running up and down a field. But their needs are specialised, which is why Ferrari F1 drivers Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa use this racecar-shaped workout machine from Technogym. Read More >>

Right, it's a bank holiday weekend and, while it's cold enough out there to freeze the birds on to the branches, we're ignoring all that and thinking about getting outdoors and doing some sport. Read More >>
Every time the football World Cup rolls around (as well as any number of other times), those of us who aren't into football ask ourselves this question: we do people care about sports at all? Vsauce has taken the question a bit further, and dug into why we—as a species—play games at all. Nerds, we've got more in common with those jocks than we might have thought. [Vsauce] Read More >>

Any professional sporting venue hoping to stay profitable is designed to accommodate a varying sports so it's always in use.
