Each week Mike Bubbins, Elis James and Steff Garrero bring you the best sporting clips, documentaries and books they’ve found — celebrating the weird, wonderful and occasionally ridiculous world of sport. PART 3 Mike starts Part 3 with a glimpse into the future with Gym Goals 2046. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTqF_l_EcwM/?igsh=cjVhNjhydTE3Znln Steff shares an incredible clip of legendary French rocker Johnny Hallyday boxing, a surreal crossover between music and sport. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14YceRK9Sdg And Elis finishes the episode with Drying the Ball, French Style, a wonderfully strange sporting moment that perfectly captures the odd traditions sport sometimes produces. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUL_H8rjLCZ/?igsh=NWk5NmQ0czBoMm5j
