1) 'Enjoy' some ouches Olympic-style as athletes take the 'no pain no gain' mantra a little too far in the pole vault, javelin, gymnastics, gymnastics again and diving.
2) Valentino Rossi and Casey Stoner took part in an almighty two-wheeled tussle at the US MotoGP at Laguna Seca last month. Gravel wasn't the only thing that got under Stoner's skin, the Aussie was irate with the Italian's overtaking manoeuvres. MotoGP rising star Jorge Lorenzo, meanwhile, rose a little too far during the opening lap and somehow only suffered a foot injury. Serves him right for driving so fast.
3) Get your Championship sharp-shooters here while they're still hot: Wolves' Sylvain Ebanks-Blake, Nottingham Forest's Robert Earnshaw (who didn't score for Derby), Birmingham's Kevin Phillips, QPR's Patrick Agyemang, Reading's Kevin Doyle, Sheffield United's James Beattie, and Norwich's Arturo Lupoli. Oh, and Swansea's Jason Scotland. We're afraid this is all there was of Marcus Bent, which is more than can be said of Leroy Lita.
4) Welcome to YouTube orphanage: home to sporting clips that have nowhere else to go: John Daly teeing off from a beer can, a BMW Sauber mechanic getting quite a shock, some Australian rugby league players thumping each other, a cheeky young chappy throwing some shapes at the Twenty-20 cricket finals, a horse that doesn't want a jockey on its back and, last and very much least, some sort of race involving ladders.
5) And here's some action from the X Games Big Air Contest, where Danny Way almost pulls off a gravity-defying stunt. Almost.
Our favourites from last week's blog:
1) When a gentle pass back to the goalie after an injury goes awry, Korean K-League team Buchun try to make amends by allowing Ulsan to score. Shame no-one told their keeper.
2) Super-sub Solskjaer in his pomp.
3) If you were launching a new strip comprised of, essentially, t-shirts, shorts and socks, would you not think this is going a bit far. Apparently Bayern Munich didn't.
5) Is this the greatest darts leg ever, followed by the greatest ever shot?

And finally ... the best clips from today's Guardian:
1) With goats on bikes, rhinos throwing javelins and torch-wielding polar bears, it's hard to believe the Animalympic films flopped.
2) The Community Shield doesn't have to be dull - Leeds beating Liverpool 4-3 in 1992.
3) And if you've not had your fill of sporting injuries, here's Australian TV reporter Brad McEwan trying a spot of Aussie Rules
