Host Laragh Widdess tells this week’s weird and wonderful sports stories from Israel and around the world, and picks a ‘sport of the week’ – an upside-down, underwater sport you’ve never heard of.
In Israel: The Tel Aviv marathon suffered from major heat exhaustion; NBA free agent Gal Mekel has spurned Israel and moved to Russia; why owning an Israeli premier league soccer club is a deadly pursuit.
Further afield: FIFA is feeling the heat over the ‘Christmas’ Qatar 2022 soccer world cup; the first silverware of the English premier league season goes to Chelsea; close your eyes for our weekly Blatt-watch – it’s not good news.
