In sports: canoeing in wind strength 6 who wanted to join, had a life jacket. Carry and use a unsinkbares boat. Unusual participation conditions for an extraordinary contest: 40 Wildwassesrkanuten in the one - and two-seater to a race about 25 kilometers along the coast gathered on the Dutch North Sea Beach at Den Helder.
Bad weather aggravated the conditions of competition. Squalls made companions and boaters in different ways to create. The battle tagged en competitors soon turned into a confrontation with waves and wind. Three hours - so the organizers had planned - about the race would take. But only after 4 hours and 4 minutes of the 39 years old canoe veteran Ed Boos first arrived at the finish. Most of his competitors gave up debilitated and take from one of the accompanying boats on board this game: artist in China artists from the realms of Mao's astounded recently on a trip through Europe their audience with the art across practiced over millennia of challenge and control of the human body. Many of them come from the provinces of Hopei, the Centre of Chinese Acrobat training.
The Chinese newsreel cameramen filmed here impressions from the training of the next generation and the training of professional and amateur acrobats - because here in Hopei, it is said many spend also time with these old folk art. The Handstand on wooden tiles already belongs to the difficult exercises. The only twelve Shu ying mastered already.
More than a thousand artists have been trained in the last 25 years in Hopei. The virtuoso and seemingly weightless art of movement point seldom abroad. This art: Pleasure in the unexpected ' that is expressive and acts in uncertain ways archaic. The sculptures unearthed on Easter Island might, not a piece of humor, wink in the game, would be as modern irony. There are unique things - just by Kriester which permits all, dream and subject matter in limbo.' Rainer Kriester – in the judgment of art criticism. For them, he is one of the most interesting young sculptors in Germany, ' not least because he recovers lost believed human face convincingly to the plastic. In Leipzig he studied medicine today 38 year old six years. He started painting at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste in West Berlin. His images and graphics made known Kriester. He caused a stir with his sculptures.
Kriesters theme: the human figure. He reduced them to their most expressive parts of head, hand, foot - forms them often in supernatural size, connecting parts or his will of expression combined with other elements Kriester subjects virtually any mouldable material: aluminium, bronze, brass, cement, wood, stone, clay on the question of the meaning of his work, his profession once replied Kriester ' we give them their own meaning of form and colour , as far as we can see it. In our subjects, we preserve the pleasure of discovery - the pleasure in the unexpected. Our theme is that be a source of interest. But why explain what we do, if anyone who wants to, can see this news: WM X hour for football fans all over the world was ´ 74-premiere, when the Soccer Domes in the Frankfurter Waldstadion opened up and folk groups, the last minutes before the kickoff of the World Cup spectacle musical; flavored. 16 folklore groups from the countries of the 16 World Cup participants - the music and dance performance appeared the 60,000 in the stadium rather than some botched copy of the Olympic opening ceremony of Munich.
Mood arrived, handed over when the Superstars of the green lawn Pelé un Uwe Seeler the old and new World Cup. For their three-time title-winning, the Brazilians can take forever with the Jules Rimet Trophy home.
The entire football nation hoped that the name of the Federal Republic as the first title holder is listed on the new World Cup, at the intake of 2,000 school children. With an appeal to fairness, President Heinemann opened the 10th World Championships.
' I hope that the games of the 10 World Cup will be games of friendship and fairness. The 10 World Cup games are opened.
The first hit on the slip-wet grass of the forest stadium was Brazil against Yugoslavia, the team in white pants. The reigning world champion and favourite of the World Championships ' 74 against the game-joyful and German outsider in this tournament. The responsive goalkeeper over here as over there and missed chances given the game we will show you some of the most interesting scenes of this encounter. The Brazilians dominated the first 45 minutes. Their sophisticated free-kicks, rehearsed hundred times in practice, disconcerting the Yugoslav defense. The Yugoslavs countered quickly and deftly, pushed the pace and let go also through occasional foul play not be put off. Their best chance was in the 72 minute of the post 0-0 defeat eventually ended a game, even benevolent critics still no Weltmeisterschaftsnivieau could give.
Doubts about a successful title defence of the Brazilians but grew unexpectedly fast.
