Want to see a man fly 250m through the air to break a world record?

Of course you do.

WE PROBABLY DONโ€™T have to say โ€˜donโ€™t try this at homeโ€™ but, just in case, you should definitely not try this at home.

At Vikersund in Norway yesterday, Sloveniaโ€™s Peter Prevc has set a new ski jumping world record after leaping 250m to beat the old mark by nearly four metres.

Not that youโ€™d know it by Prevcโ€™s cool celebrations with the unperturbed Slovenian telling the BBC:

โ€œThe speed and the position was perfect. Then I just landed.โ€

Watch the jump here:

Will there be a better catch at this yearโ€™s Cricket World Cup?

    @Chris Finch: would you not want to get as much as you can in the same situation? Heโ€™s got all the leverage.

    Alot of talk of rashford having a great season but I think he has 14 league goals so far, hardly earth shattering. Heโ€™s behind Toney whoโ€™s playing in an inferior team, behind Salah who has been average and playing in a very poor pool team. He still needs to do alot more before he can be considered top class (consistency and more goals for one), nevermind world class.

    @Paul Mallon: I think its more akin to praise Drogba got, when we werenโ€™t all dictated and obsessed by stats. Didier only scored more than 12 league goals twice in his whole Chelsea career. But its the weight and points value on the goals. The nuance of them as oppose to just looking at a stat. The winner in a 2-1 win weighs more than a hat trick in a 7-0 win. I also think its convenient to only count league goals in a season where Rashfordโ€™s team has won a cup, and is still in 2 others.

    Highest scoring winger in Europe top 5 leagues. Not worth 500 all the same.

    @Paul Mallon: compared to last season when people thought it would be best for him to leave for another club, he is having a good season. Where does it say heโ€™s having the best season of all goalscorers in the league though? Who said that? It seems to be fabricated out of thin air for the sake of being negative.
