Top 10 sport videos of the week: Shakira, Chinese Arsenal, BMX bandit and more in our round-up

1) New Zealander Jed Mildon has back-flipped his way into the Guinness Book of World Records with this stunt in his home town of Taupo.
The 24-year-old landed the world’s first-ever triple back-flip at the Unit T3 Mindtricks BMX Jam.
The move has sent shockwaves through the two-wheeled action sports industry and has made our vidoes of the week. Flippin marvelous.

2) Every kid in Brazil dreams of becoming the next Romario or Ronaldo but you don’t need to bang in the goals at the World Cup finals to get yourself noticed across the globe.
This Brazilian boy blunder is now an internet sensation thanks to his miss in a local league match.


3) So it’s your first race. You’ve driven 499 miles, and you’re on course to win.
That was the scenario facing JR Hildebrand in the centenary Indy 500 before he dramatically, and somewhat comically, crashed at the last corner on the very last lap.
But Briton Dan Wheldon didn’t care one jot as he drove past Hilderbrand’s stricken car to records a famous win.

4) What could be worse than finding your ball yards off the fairway and under a golf buggy?
Well, letting an idiot drive the buggy away didn’t turn out to be a good idea. Just ask the couple of spectators who had a lucky escape before a tree took the full force.

5) We all remember playing Under 14s football in the park when two men, a dog and an ice cream van would’ve been a good attendance.
But these youngsters in Denmark were treated to the big-match experience when a massive crowd, complete with marching bands and commentators, turned up to let them enjoy a taste what it’s like to be famous.

6) It’s tough being Gerard Pique. One of the best defenders in the world, winner of the Champions League, winner of La Liga and not even a year since being crowned champion of the world.
Oh, and your girlfriend is one of the most desirable women in the world, Shakira, who is happy to give you and your friends dancing lessons in front of a sell-out crowd.



7) In an interesting bid to promote their latest strip, La Liga side Valencia, well, strip!
The curious advertising campaign shows first team players Soldado and Joaquin, among others, warming up and running on to the pitch naked in front of a packed crowd who were, you guessed it, also in the buff.
