Wow effect: the sports shows that conquered the world

You’re stuck at home and torturing yourself thinking, “What to see? And where to go?” There is a solution. The world is much bigger and more interesting than it seems at first glance. The cultural peculiarities and traditions of individual nations have created many amazing things and activities that make sense to see and visit. Here’s what inspires us.

X Games

This is a truly unique sporting event known as the World Extreme Games. They are divided into summer (held in Austin, Colorado, USA) and winter (Aspen, Colorado, USA), much like the Olympics, though often even more spectacular. There are enough disciplines both there and there.

Going to the Games is considered very prestigious. You will definitely have something to see and something to tell your friends about afterwards.

Super Bowl

American soccer is a huge part of the culture of our days. Its concept has gone far beyond the sport. You could say that it is a whole separate industry. The heat of passion can easily compete with the traditional world championship in classic soccer. And the main distinguishing feature of the final match is its halftime.

For a long time the show, which is arranged by the organizers, has the highest viewing rating all over the world. And how could it be otherwise, if the guest artists raise the bar to the sky. For example, check out The Weeknd’s performance during the last halftime show. They wouldn’t have let him do such a thing at the Grammy ceremony.

Goodwood festival of speed

Goodwood is a historic motorcycle and motorsport venue in the UK. It is located near Chichester. All the action usually lasts three days. Just imagine, the attendance is huge – about 100,000 people every day. The whole point is that this is one of the most iconic events in the world of motorsport.

Technological novelties, concepts, rarities, individual competitions and demonstrations. You can see everything there. If you like the roar of engines, it’s worth taking the nearest place in line at the British Embassy.

Ninja Warrior

This is a television show that you can see from the comfort of your own home. A show with a truly world renowned name. The franchise is present in most countries around the world. We are sure that you have repeatedly come across videos on the Internet, where brave and strong-minded people pass a unique obstacle course, which has no analogues in the world. By the way, Russia also has its own version.

According to insiders, filming of the new season is already underway in Moscow.

Masters of dirt

With the first chords of the song from the video, goosebumps start to run. Organizers of such events have long been trying to dilute the sports component with an unusual show program.

BMX freestyle, freestyle motocross, buggies and scooters. This is not all disciplines of the show program. Among the participants are athletes with world names in sports. The “masters” have a world tour. It remains to be seen which city will be closest to you.

Red Bull Flugtag

One of Red Bull’s most iconic and high-profile events. Flugtag means “day of flying” in German. This event takes place in Moscow with certain periodicity. The idea is to build a flying machine that can take off or at least not fall straight down.

As a runway – a special ramp six meters high, and land in the water.

You can’t think of a better reason to spend the weekend. There will be something to be surprised by – at least the ingenuity and creativity of the participants.

Nitro World Games

As in classic sports, the extreme world also has its own records. Only they are broken more often. Confirmation of the words is given by “jet clowns”. Only highly qualified athletes who have repeatedly taken first places in big championships take part in the show. Each show is always different from the previous one. The arsenal of equipment used in the program is amazing.

Have you ever seen the flight of a man sitting on a baby car from a six-meter springboard? And a double somersault on a motorcycle?

NBA All-Star Game

Americans definitely know a thing or two about entertainment and organizing it. They can make a “holiday” out of anything. And the main thing is that it’s always fun to watch. Just like in this case. The match of the strongest current stars of the National Basketball Association is the culmination of an all-star weekend, in which the sports component is far from the main thing, because the show is in the first place.

The numbers will further confirm what was said above. The largest number of spectators in the history of basketball games was at the All-Star Game – 108,713 people.

Monster Jam

And lastly, the “cherry on the cake.” This action cannot be called anything else but a show. In the center of events specially prepared cars with very large wheels, exceptional suspension, and super powerful engine.

In the program: off-road racing, car trial, jumps and acrobatic numbers. It’s better to see than to hear. Go ahead.
