When we heard that Adam Rolston and his caddie Ron Rutland were planning on raising money for the Laureus Sport for Good charity by playing the longest hole in golf history, one that literally spanned the length of Mongolia, we had to find out more! Well 82 days and about 20,000 shots later, the pair are just a lofted wedge and a putt away from completing their adventure. We鈥檙e on the final stretch with the pair as they exit the Gobi and enter the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar.

Retirement Goals:
Robbie Simpson might still be playing a professional football, but he鈥檚 got more than one eye on what comes next, and how he can help other athletes facing the same career crossroads. He has started Life After Professional Sport (LAPS) an organisation that brings businesses together with athletes who are close to, or have completed their sporting careers. Things are changing, when Robbie walked into the dressing room at his first professional club, Coventry City, 10 years ago he was the only one with a university degree. However in the squad at his current club Exeter City, he says there are 11 graduates and many more with a post playing plan.

Summersaults in the Sky:
Slalom racing is tough enough on skis, but imagine doing it in a plane! That's what those taking part in the Red Bull Air Race Championship do each week. Pilots nip through a series of 25-metre-high pylons around a track in the sky. Melanie Astles is the first, and only female pilot, and has been telling us about the challenges of acrobatic air racing and how she鈥檚 proving that for women pilots, the sky really is the limit.
