No dia 21 de junho de 1970, a Taça Jules Rimet disse adeus às Copas do Mundo, assim como deram adeus os mexicanos e outros apaixonados por futebol ao mais belo Mundial da história.

Hoje, passados mais de cinquenta anos, seguem guardados na memória os lances que deram cor e movimento ao maior espetáculo que o futebol já concebeu.

The biggest annual sports event in the world is the Tour de France. In the wake of its overwhelming popularity, it’s easy to forget that there is much more to cycling than whoever gets to wear the yellow jersey. Cycling is rich with legends and pioneers, and it is their stories which light up this compelling account of the sport. This is the story of British cycling as told through the lives of the people who built it.

She’s swam in some of the most dangerous and remote waters in the world. But her burgeoning career stalled when she became the sole carer of her ailing father; she couldn’t commit to training, and she struggled with a lack of direction. That’s when she found ice swimming – swims that take up less time, but which are far more demanding, physically and mentally. Nuala’s philosophy is that we are all capable of greatness.
