  Jump London (www.the-usher.com)
Foucan's jump on HMS Belfast is extraordinary and it is fascinating as the team free-run around iconic London landmarks like the Tate Modern, the National Theatre, the Millennium Bridge and the Royal Albert Hall but there does seem to be enough.
This aside, Jump London is still, at times, completely mesmerising and you will not be able believe that someone can be this confident in their own abilities.
Watch the "Royal Nation Theatre", "City of London School pyramid", "City of London School 360o", "The Bankside Triple", "The Bankside Double", HMS Belfast" and "Shakespeare's Globe Theatre" jumps from all the different camera angles the crew shoot all on the screen at once.

 Canada women want chance at ski jump gold - London Olympics 2012
It said there were not enough women ski jumpers and, with an inaugural women's ski jumping championship due only in 2009, the sport did not meet IOC inclusion rules.
But ski jumping and the Nordic Combined -- an event that includes ski jumping and cross-country skiing -- are grandfathered in as men-only Olympic sports, said Nina Reid, a lawyer from Calgary who sits on the board of Altius Nordic Ski Club.
Ron Read, high performance director for Ski Jumping Canada, said the IOC decision meant women ski jumpers will continue to lose out on funding, and he backed the idea of filing a human rights complaint.

Jump London on Channel 4 tonight was full of spectacular moments, but not the spectacular moments the filmmakers had hoped, I thought.
The buildup was pretty drawn-out with mock tension over whether or not stuffy old London building managers would let maniac Frenchmen run all over their Grade-One listed heaps.
You saw them adjusting to the slightly different rhythms and gaits of London - brick courses just a little different, past layers of Imperial measure intersposed with more modern metric, bollards at slightly different spacings and heights.

Jones had been scheduled to compete in the 100 metres and long jump in London.
She won the long jump at the recent US Olympic trials but failed to make the US team in the 100 and 200 metres, two of the three events that she won in Sydney.
There is a slight possibility she could run the 100 metres in Athens, depending on the outcome of world champion Torri Edwards' doping case and whether Gail Devers decides to concentrate on the 100 metres hurdles rather than attempting to run both the hurdles and 100 metres sprint event at the Games.

 Jump Britain (2005) (TV)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Having been impressed by Jump London, it was natural that I tune in for the follow up programme despite just thinking the whole Free Running thing is just a kids game played by adults in an extreme way.
For this reason I was bored here by the interviews and chats about the "discipline" or "sport" because they come across as being a bit full of themselves and they only look silly trying to present this stuff as having a deeper meaning than just being fun and exciting.
Of course seeing Sebastien jumping between the two section of the Millennium Stadium roof as it pulls apart is impressive but it is contrasted with a load of other "Free Runners" who are not as impressive as the originator and do nothing more than sort of hang off some kerbs and so on!
