The Olympics have been over for almost a week, the Bundesliga begins, but there is still time to think about what was left of the 16 days in Tokyo.
Definitely the story of Dallas Oberholzer.
The South African almost never came to Tokyo because a jaguar tried to eat him on a trip to the Amazon.

Unsuccessful, however, because Oberholzer uttered a Tarzan scream with which he frightened the predator.
But that's not the main story yet.
Oberholzer took part in the skateboard competitions in Tokyo, using tricks that looked a bit dusty, something from the eighties, because he is already 46 years old.
He said that only once in his life had he had a regular job, and that was as the chauffeur of Janet Jackson.
But that's still not the main story: Oberholzer mainly does youth work with his skateboard in Durban, and he says that nothing brings young people of all walks of life together easier than practicing skateboarding tricks.
Incidentally, the competition in Tokyo was won by an eighteen-year-old.
Oberholzer was last, but he didn't care.
