Valery Rozov is the first man to fly with the aid of a wingsuit from the north face of Mount Everest. No one has launched themselves from a higher point on Earth
Welcome
The man in the baggy one-piece on the right there is Valery Rozov. He has done 9,000 BASE-jumps and wingsuit flights. His most recent, and perhaps most remarkable, achievement was to fly to earth in a wingsuit after leaping from Mount Everest. We have the full story, with amazing, exclusive pictures. From the top of the world all the way Down Under: the British & Irish Lions take on Australia this month. A Lions series is a rare jewel in international sport, and, whether lining up for or against them, a crowning moment in a rugby player’s career. Three leading Lions – Owen Farrell, George North, Jamie Roberts – met with The Red Bulletin to talk tours, tries and triumphs. Elsewhere, tennis world number three Victoria Azarenka showed us around her home town in Belarus in advance of her tilt at Wimbledon. All this, and much more. Enjoy. the red bulletin
