But on this throw, something goes catastrophically wrong.
26
During Pitkamaki's third round, the javelin goes off at the wrong angle, and instead of arcing up and out toward the landing spot,
27
it flies low and fast straight into the warm -up area.
28
In a blink, the javelin strikes Sidiri on the right side of his back.
29
When the camera zooms in, you see it stuck into his body.

When an ambulance was called immediately and after Sidiri was assessed, reports surprisingly said it was just a small bruise but those reports were wrong.
32
Turns out Sidiri was only an inch away from a brutal death.
33
You see, the javelin had actually gone deep enough to pierce Sidiri's liver and right kidney,

is just standing there like watching an entertainment show.

Meet Dale Earnhardt.
58
In the Daytona 500 event in February 2001, the pack was flying into Turn 4 when Dale Earnhardt's black

Chevrolet made contact with Sterling Marlin.

When the safety crew reached the car, Earnhardt wasn't moving.
62
They tried waking him, but still nothing happened.
63
The ambulance quickly wheeled him to the hospital.

There, it turns out he snapped his neck so bad that his brain got detached from the spinal cord, killing him on the spot.

Here's the part that makes it worse.
66
He didn't die going for first place.
67
He wasn't there for the medal.
68
Dale Earnhardt, seven -time champion, was doing what he did best, blocking other cars for his teammates running first and second.
69
He was just stalling so his teammates could win.
70
Just so you know, his son, Dale Jr., was in that race.
71
He finished second, only to hear that his pops was gone before reaching the finish line.
72
The Olympic Luge.
73
Just a few hours to the opening ceremony of the 2010
74
Olympics, Nodar Kumaratashvili is on the ice taking his final practice run.
75
He launches with the starting position on the Whistler Sliding Center and within seconds he's moving at 89 miles an hour,
76
making it through the early curves.
77
But as he gets close to turn 16, his sled drifts high on the wall.
78
This particular turn is called a 50 -50 turn,
79
as in you have a 50 -50 chance of making it through without smashing your head into the wall.
80
So, Noder tries to correct it, but at that speed, he can't even hold anything.
81
Before anyone could react, the sled slams into the wall and flips, throwing Noder off the track.
82
For a while, Noder spins in the air, and he hits a steel support beam at full speed.
83
Paramedics rush in immediately, performing CPR on the ice, but the impact proved fatal, so there was nothing they could do to save him.
84
But you see, in the weeks leading up to the games, multiple athletes had already crashed on this particular track.
85
Racers were clocking speeds the sport had never seen, and they were telling officials the course was beyond the limit of human control.
86
The officials listened, nodded, but changed nothing.
87
No one was charged, not even the Olympics.
88
The Georgian team stays and competes in this honor, winning both the gold and silver medals.
89
The Yurchenko Vault.
90
In some cases, the most twisted turns cause the most twisted deaths.

92
It's her only shot if she's going to win a gold medal at the 1988
93
World Sport Fair.
94
But I mean, you've got to run backwards, hit a springboard blind, and throw yourself over a vaulting horse.
95
There's zero room for error.
96
But Julissa shouldn't have been on that runway at all.
97
She's still young and her Yurchenko is inconsistent.
98
She isn't ready, but the skill scores high, the system rewards whoever attempts it, and gymnasts don't get medals for playing it safe.
99
And because this was just a warm -up, everyone's guard was down.
100
So Julissa Jaleesa runs, plants her foot into the floor, but she misses the springboard by two inches.
101
Her trajectory is totally off, and instead of clearing the vault, she slams her head into it at full speed.
102
Immediately the paramedics circled her.
103
They saw something really awful.
104
Jaleesa's neck had snapped back really badly, and she crumpled to the mat.
105
She could not move, just lying there paralyzed from the neck down.
106
Luckily, Julissa didn't die at the spot, and the doctors were able to rearrange her spine enough to straighten her back.
107
Unfortunately, they couldn't fix her spinal cord, so she couldn't walk again.
108
In fact, Julissa could not move her hand by herself.
109
She breathed with a ventilator, ate through a tube, and for the next three years, that would be her life.
110
However, However, during a routine check -in, a nurse accidentally disconnects Julissa's ventilator.

112
And sadly, just two weeks later, she flatlines.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
