Two Videos: Takraw and an Olympic Montage

I first read about the Thai sport of takraw years ago, and then forgot all about it. Crazy athleticism, volleyball without hands, bicycle kick spikes, etc. YouTube has some takraw action (via Frostillicus).
The guys at The Science of Sport have put together a wonderful montage to kick off the XXIX Olympiad. Really well done.
