About
Instead of the traditional view of a typeface as a collection of static styles, GT Flexa embraces the ideaof a fluid design space. As a dynamic tool, it enables joyful typesetting that allows for fully responsive
designs. The result is an impressively extensive typographic system with a distinctive personality.

Fistball is a team sport in which two teams compete against each other on
two half-fields, similar to volleyball. They are separated by a center line anda net stretched between two posts up to two meters in height. If the net
or posts are touched by either a player or the ball during play, this is considered an error. Each team consists of five players, with players trying toplay the ball across the net from one half of the field of play to the opponents’ half – using only their arm or closed fist – in a way in which the opponents cannot return it.
After clearing the net, the ball may be contacted up to three times by thefive players on each team – with a bounce being permissible before eachcontact, but no repeat hits by any individual player within the three attempts. Similar to volleyball, the three hits are ideally used to save, set andspike the ball back into the opponents half, in that order. The game is playedfor points and sets. If a team cannot return the ball or makes an error, theother team gets a point. The team that lost the last point or committed
the last error makes the next service.

The international rules specify that table tennis isplayed with a sphere having a mass of 2.7 grams and adiameter of 40 millimetres. The rules say that the ballshall bounce up 24–26 cm when dropped from a heightof 30.5 cm onto a standard steel block thereby having
a coefficient of restitution of 0.89 to 0.92.
Balls are now made of a polymer instead of celluloid asof 2015, colored white or orange, with a matte finish.
The choice of ball color is made according to the table
color and its surroundings. For example, a white ball iseasier to see on a green or blue table than it is on a grey
table. Manufacturers often indicate the quality of theball with a star rating system, usually from one tothree, three being the highest grade. As this system is
not standard across manufacturers, the only way a ball
may be used in official competition is upon ITTF approval. The 40 mm ball was introduced after the end of the2000 Summer Olympics; previously a 38 mm ball wasstandard. This created some controversies. ened to pullout of the World Cup, which was scheduled to debut the
new regulation ball on October 12, 2000.

Wheel gymnastics is a form of gymnastics that originated in Germany. Wheel gymnasts do exercises in alarge wheel or hoop known as the Rhönrad, in the beginning also known as aero wheel. The large wheel consists of two circles, which are connected with six spokes.
Two are simple tubes, two are equipped with a handle
and two have a footrest. The diameter of the wheel depends on the length of the gymnast, so that the gymnast can hold himself on the grips when fully stretched.
The wheels are available from a diameter of 130 to
245cm. The wheels weigh between 40 and 60 kg. They
are available in several depths and colors.

day before the wrestling in a scheduledweight class and age category takes place,
all the applicable wrestlers are examinedby a physician and weighed-in. Each wrestler after being weighed on the scale thendraws a token randomly that gives a certain number.
If an ideal number is not reached to begin elimination rounds, a qualification
round will take place to eliminate the excess number of wrestlers. For example, 22

peasants curling, albeit without brooms;
Scotland and the Low Countries hadstrong trading and cultural links during
this period, which is also evident in thehistory of golf.
The word curling first appears inprint in 1620 in Perth, Scotland, in the
preface and the verses of a poem by Henry Adamson. The sport was also known as
the roaring game because of the soundthe stones make while traveling over the

Synchronized diving was adopted as an Olympic
sport in 2000. Two divers form a team and perform dives simultaneously. The dives are identical.
It used to be possible to dive opposites, also known
as a pinwheel, but this is no longer part of competitive synchronized diving. For example, one diver would perform a forward dive and the otheran inward dive in the same position, or one would
do a reverse and the other a back movement. In
these events, the diving would be judged both on
the quality of execution and the synchronicity – intiming of take-off and entry, height and forward

The three main categories of aerialsilk tricks are climbs, wraps, anddrops. Climbs employed by aerialists
range from purely practical and efficient, such as the Russian climb,
to athletic and elegant tricks of
their own, such as the straddle
climb. Wraps are static poses where
aerialists wrap the silks around one
or more parts of their body. In general, the more complicated the wrap,
the stronger the force of friction
and the less effort required to holdoneself up. Some wraps, such as thestraddle-back-balance, actually allow performers to completely release
their hands. Foot locks are a sub-category of wraps where the silks arewrapped around one or both feet, forinstance, an ankle hang. In a drop,
performers wrap themselves up highon the silks before falling to alower position. Drops can combine

Powerlifting is a strength sport that consists ofthree attempts at maximal weight on three lifts: squat,
bench press, and deadlift. As in the sport of Olympic
weightlifting, it involves the athlete attempting a maximal weight single lift of a barbell loaded with weightplates. Powerlifting evolved from a sport known as odd
lifts, which followed the same three-attempt format but
used a wider variety of events, akin to strongman competition. Eventually odd lifts became standardized to thecurrent three.
In competition, lifts may be performed equipped or
un-equipped. Equipment in this context refers to a supportive bench shirt or squat/deadlift suit or briefs. In
some federations, knee wraps are permitted in the equipped
but not un-equipped division; in others, they may be usedin both equipped and un-equipped lifting. Weight belts,
knee sleeves, wrist wraps and special footwear may also
