Ryder Cup aces, a new platform for freerunning and Irish road bowling

http://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2014/sep/25/classic-youtube-best-sports-clips

Version 0 of 1.

1) A look at holes in one at the Ryder Cup down the years: all six of them.

2) Freerunning in 8-bit.

3) Marius Lacatus goes down looking for a penalty during Steaua Bucharest v IFK Gothenburg in 1989 … In other penalty news: Liverpool v Middlebrough? Pah. Brockenhurst v Andover is where it’s at.

4) Young Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Malmö in this newly-published clip. Plus more in this documentary: who is Zlatan?

5) Probably the best thing about this video of Crete manager Gennaro Gattuso losing it in a press conference is the growing dread clearly evident on the face of his translator as he prepares to translate. Elsewhere: Eden Hazard not necessarily amused at being clipped round the ear by Yaya Touré, while Clint Dempsey asks people about Clint Dempsey.

6) How to turn a bad play into a good play. And, perhaps in sympathy with Eastern Michigan’s brick wall bashing players, the Wallkill Mighty Mites have a little trouble with a banner.

Our favourites from last week’s blog

1) If you weren’t aware of it before, you will be now: road bowling in Ireland. First up, a trip into the Pathé archive from 1957; plus action in 2011; and the Cork road bowling song.

2) Souleymane Youla – or Lazarus as he’s occasionally known.

3) Another epic penalty shootout: Brazil v Mexico in the Under-17 World Cup teams features quite the gutsy panenka.

4) Giant hand basketball: silly.

5) After Jens Voigt set a new world Hour record, some efforts from down the years: Eddy Merckx in Mexico City (1972); Ole Ritter in 1974; and Francesco Moser’s 1984 run (parts one and two).

6) The earliest surviving footage of Australian Rules football (apparently): the 1909 VFL Grand final between South Melbourne and Carlton.
