The Red Bull Skydive Team recently performed a spectacular performance high in the skies above Austria well worthy of any James Bond film. As part of the project Akte Blanix III, the five-man squadron set off in hot pursuit of two Blanix gliders cruising 4,000 metres above the ground. In one of the most daring wingsuit manoeuvres ever seen, the skydivers then inched their way towards the aircraft before flying along side by side at speeds in excess of 180km/h.

The Four Hills Tournament is looking for the millionaire: If one athlete manages to win all four World Cup ski jumping events in Oberstdorf, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Innsbruck and Bischofshofen at the 60th edition of the world famous ski jumping series, then the organizing committees together with the German and the Austrian Ski Federation will reward this "Tournee-Grand-Slam" with one million Swiss francs.

Perhaps the thoughts have been thought before, maybe they have been awaken when being here. Thoughts of the real meaning of life, or rather, thoughts of what kind of life we want to live. Thoughts of where our children should grow up, of where our everyday lives should take place. Where life should be lived.

The traditional “set-menu” approach where broadcasters deliver the same broadcast to all is changing to a scenario whereby consumers pick and choose the content they watch, and critically how, where and when they wish to watch it. This is bespoke and tailored but also critically completely dictated by consumer choice. This is why we have seen the rise of OTT, and its increasing market share is only going to go one way.
