To Icelandic Football Club on Announcement
In recent years, many Icelandic players have passed through Russian clubs, but Russian players in a team from Iceland are a rarity. One of the pioneers can be considered Kirill Laptev from Fryazino near Moscow.
In 2013, he became one of the winners of the Nike amateur football competition, and in 2014, he left for Sweden, where he played for lower league clubs while working in the warehouse. A few years later, Laptev saw an announcement on the recruitment of players in the Icelandic Knutspyurnufelagid Stridsmann and decided to respond. In Iceland, the Russians were offered a salary of £ 2 thousand per month.
“Everything was organized by a young coach - a former player. Created a club, became its president, and he himself trains. Anyone who played somewhere before or went through a good school and came up, he promised to get a job and help with housing. I think his idea ultimately failed due to the coronavirus, ”Laptev told Match TV.
However, Cyril still did not want to stay in Iceland and even before the pandemic decided to return to Sweden. According to him, the level of the Icelandic team did not live up to expectations. In addition, he did not win in money - they pay decently in a Swedish warehouse, the footballer explained.
Tyson delighted Nurmagomedov with the work of his hands
53-year-old Mike Tyson is once again preparing to return to the ring. The former undisputed heavyweight world champion is about to take part in several exhibition fights. The Boxing Federation of Russia has already proposed organizing a duel between Iron Mike and Oleg Maskaev. But Nikolai Valuev refused such a prospect, saying that he does not see the point in it.
In the meantime, Tyson began to get fit. His work on the paws with the coach made a splash on the Internet. The boxer in his 53 years showed incredibly high speed hands.
Those who watched the video admired Mike's sportswear. And even Khabib Nurmagomedov left a comment on him.
“I can’t believe it, this is a different level,” the UFC lightweight champion marveled.
The holder of the title of this organization in the lightest weight category, Henry Sehudo, also did not hide his emotions: "Uncle Mike, you are the best."
Chudinov's winner went to jail
Bosnian-born German boxer Adnan Chatić, better known as Felix Sturm, was sentenced to prison last week. The former world champion in the weight categories up to 72.6 and up to 76.2 kg was found guilty of tax evasion totaling about € 1 million, as well as of violation of anti-doping legislation. The banned drug was found in his doping test after a fight with Russian Fedor Chudinov in 2016. According to the court, Sturm deliberately used an anabolic steroid.
The athlete's defense was counting on a suspended sentence, but he received a sentence of three years in prison. He will be kept in an open prison, which you can leave during the day to carry out professional activities. To pay taxes and fines, the 41-year-old boxer wants to return to the ring. Another famous German veteran Arthur Abraham may become his rival.
Vanzant explained why photographed naked
UFC fighter Curtis Blades said last week that some girls allegedly became promotion stars not due to sporting achievements, but due to a demonstration of sexuality. According to him, Page Vanzant and Rachel Ostovich perform in Absolute Fight only because they “look good in a bikini”.
Vanzant, during quarantine due to the coronavirus pandemic, delighted her Instagram account subscribers with photos of her home workouts with her husband, also a fighter, Austin Wanderford without clothes. While fans were wondering who photographed the young people, they laid out the most candid pictures.

Paige admitted that it was originally her idea. She assured that she was not at all going to draw attention to herself in this way, but simply wanted to have fun with her husband. Vanderdofr, in turn, noted that he and his wife decided to have some fun. According to him, not wearing clothes for him is quite normal, since Austin is from the countryside.
Jordan movie set record
The ESPN documentary “The Last Dance” about the legendary basketball player Michael Jordan and the stellar Chicago Bulls of the 90s became the most popular project of this genre in the world, ahead of Netflix's “Tiger King”.
Analysts are convinced that the world coronavirus situation played a role in the success of The Last Dance. So, during the pandemic, there has been an increase in demand for sports documentaries.
Jordan himself, even before the release of the picture, was very worried about how the audience would receive the film. He believed that in some episodes we can conclude about him as a terrible person. Among other things, The Last Dance reveals some previously unknown details from the biography of His Air. For example, in 1991, Jordan ignored a visit with the team to the White House to President George W. Bush. Instead, he went to play golf with James Buler, who was later convicted of money laundering and was also accused of drug trafficking.
It added resonance to the film and the inclusion of frames with Kobe Bryant, who died at the beginning of the year in a plane crash.
Grandfather Chicharito Dies
