Internationally renowned percussionist Martin Grubinger combined classical music with sounds of motorsports, to create a musical opener to back-to-back grands prix in Spielberg: the Formula 1 Rolex Grosser Preis von Österreich on July 5 followed by the Formula 1 Pirelli Grosser Preis der Steiermark on July 12. Grubinger brought together musicians from different backgrounds and a 150-strong choir to make his vision a reality. At the heart of the musical installation known as ‘Drum the Bull’ was the steel Bull of Spielberg, which was brought to life by Grubinger and his fellow percussionists using brushes, metal and wooden drumsticks and even hammers. // The Percussive Planet Ensemble performs in Spielberg, Austria on June 22, 2020. // Armin Walcher / Red Bull Content Pool

Guor Marial, 28, runs along a street in Flagstaff, Arizona July 21, 2012. The marathon runner born in what is now South Sudan will be allowed to run under the Olympic flag in London, the International Olympic Committee said on Saturday. As a 16-year-old Marial moved to the U.S., where he has permanent resident status. Given South Sudan, the world's newest country recognised only last year, has not yet established a national Olympic Committee - and so cannot send a team to the Games starting next week - Marial was unable to represent that country. As he is not a U.S. citizen, he was also ineligible to take part for the Americans. REUTERS/Darryl Webb
