The Real Miracle on Ice
Craig Cunningham suffered a heart attack on the ice, just before the start of the national anthems at an AHL game. Whilst in hospital, Craig contracted an infection. In order to save his life, he had his leg amputated. Craig continues to recover but occasionally plays hockey thanks to an adapted prosthetic leg. He now works as a scout for the Arizona Coyotes.

Walking corpse syndrome to motor racing heaven
Warren Mckinley suffered brain damage, after crashing his motorbike. The British Soldier was taken to Headley Court to recover but developed Cotard syndrome, a disease in which people believe that they have already died. Warren has recovered and now competes with other injured ex-servicemen in motorsport team called Team Brit. Their aim is to race in future editions of the Le Mans 24 hour race.

Three… it’s the magic number
Three on three basketball or 3x3 to give its street name is a faster form of the sport. The game is associated with playgrounds and driveways but has recently joined the Olympic programme for Tokyo 2020. Jesper Jobse is the Netherlands captain; he has mixed feelings on the sports inclusion.

He has now become a free agent but can’t find a team for the upcoming season. We speak to Louis Moore a professor at Grand Valley State University in Michigan, who specialises in Black American history and sports history. Does he think Kaepernick regrets his decision?
