Berlin these days as every year, the police of the Spree city in the Olympic Stadium came under the sign of the Berlin bear, from crowded ranks of major police show 1961 to show in their partly artistic skills. With calm, the Berlin noted that their police in an emergency can Very much quickly available.
The obstacle relay of the police gained the most sympathy as always, as she obviously demonstrated that you are too high, there is no way to long obstacle and no water is too wet to be at the right time on the spot.
With the approval of the Berlin police conjured up finally a motto on the lawn that this festival is reminded of the serious background.
How serious is the situation in Berlin, feel the Berlin daily at the new frontier, their guards and the wall, which is getting higher and higher and to make impossible the last human contact between East and West. The new sector border developed new laws. These include the binoculars, to see friends and relatives. This includes feeling the emotion, the silent gesture of waving and finally fear.

Movie news from the time when the sector border was still open, is Hardy Krüger idea to the film "Two million".
As a truck driver, he meets with Walter Giller Loni by Friedl, who fled from Rostock, Germany to West Berlin. According to the film, a love story, belongs to the the border environment has become by now historical as well as the refugee problem arises.
Also in the boundary - and refugee-milieu, the Frenchman Michel Simon has gone. For the film "Nicolas" the first movie scenes in Geneva have been measured, producer is the refugee Commissioner's Office of the United Nations, and as a remarkable peculiarity is to mention that Michel Simon without Gage plays. The scene where we observed Simon in a scene, was a thoroughly genuine waste hills.
The sight of young Annamaria PAL is undoubtedly exciting, even if it is just a so male employment such as swinging a sword. With her partner Chamming Pollock, she had to train hard in an Italian sports school. For her next film, "Caribe" is once again engaged in piracy.
The American pirate Robert Alda seems to have far less pirate talent. Lucky the Buccaneers in the lap, going after these shots to close him.
Finally still A few small jumps are required for swinging from ship's mast ship's mast, which have found themselves similarly soft surface and high Gage enough brave.

Famous athletes not so deeply fell the high jumper at the Hamburg Athletics Festival. Mainly, this was probably because that they jumped too high as is required by the level of the world. Where is the world level, was drilled in By the way by two prominent American guests. Once by John Thomas, who jumped the 2 meter and 10 with an upset stomach, and then by Ralph Boston, who brought it to the width of 7 metres 97.
In front of 20,000 spectators were then at least Manfred Germar in wellknown basic manner to the satisfaction of the German services. In the 200 metres he won how eh in 21.5 seconds.
In the 4 × 100-meter relay of women it looks after the first 3 cycles, like Hannover 96 is moving into a secure victory. Only in the HomeStretch of the HSV attacking and using their long drive final runner Tymm works themselves and the victory at the finish.
To the delight of audiences and to justify the high cost of travel Boston and Thomas started finally 110 m hurdles. In convincing style Boston unleashed a victory in 14.1, John Thomas was in 15 seconds still fourth.
Where was jumped in this year over hurdles, a runner was missing: Martin Lauer, an injection had, what happens nowadays rare, led to a severe blood poisoning. Soft the syringe for pain had can be To give, that have occurred at the numerous post-Olympic sports festivals. Under the permanent care of his mother has managed Lauer thanks to his strong Constitution to survive poisoning and risk of amputation. The doctors even hope that he can train again soon.
The best German allround athlete returned home after 102 days in the hospital with his mother to Cologne. There, we had visited once privately the 24 year olds shortly before his illness.
Soft, just for his degree in mechanical engineering in Munich then had to cram. He wanted to make it quickly graduated to prepare then for Tokyo. Together, we turned in the memories of his athletic heyday.
July 7, 1959 in Zürich. Soft ran two world records in two days. Over 200 m and 110 m hurdles with 13.2 seconds. Together with his friends, we wish that he soon be seen on the dirt track...

Exitus of racing?
Still Rev the engines of the cars on the famous racetracks of the world. Reckless driver is still taking it, at breakneck speed on treacherous slopes on a target control go, last but not least consisting of a sensation-hungry audience cheering and a short-lived Gladiator fame.
One was Graf Berghe who were celebrated and sometimes as resurrected welcomes, the German Grand Prix driver Wolfgang von trips.
Admired by his admirers, by his colleagues as a friend and valued professional, the car possessed Reichsgraf was almost always, if - like, was here on the Nürburgring - great prices and World Championship races. Trips was a large and sympathetic man of sports. It was his tragic fate, to pay homage to a sport, whose Berechtigung not least again is been questioned by his own death. Because the Autosport calls more deaths every year.
Maybe you like cheap yet the driver to the risking his own life, as here the German Hans Herman, and sometimes succeed still - as here the driver Karl Kling - his car against a tree to put instead of to rush into the audience.
But at Le Mans at the end was all man engine, 82 people had paid with their lives of thrill and sensationalism.
The Chronicle of the death does not break down. This demolished Ferrari Alberto Ascaris testifies to the death. And the Spaniard ended up on this phone mast' de Portago during the Mille Miglia of 1956.
The "Grand Prix of Monza" for count was trips to the last race of his life. Shortly after the start in the Vedona curve, he collided with the Englishman Jim Clark and was thrown into the crowd. 14 people died with him. Should they be not reason enough, forever to blow off this death sport?
With the inevitability of modern mass organizations ran the race to end. If you're still interested: Phil Hill won.
