Everybody’s Talking Happy landings: Saint Barthélemy, nicknamed St. Bart's, in the Leeward Islands of the northeastern Caribbean Sea, is home to a challenging airport. Pilots intending to land at the Gustaf III Airport require special training and certification. That's because there is a big hill at one end of the short runway and a beach at the other, along with considerable air turbulence. Big jets don't land on the 650m runway, but the airport is heavily used by smaller planes. Pilots do not receive takeoff and landing clearance from air traffic controllers. Rather, they use the Automatic Flight Information Service to obtain information. Long ride: Canadian Chris Bruckner took on a huge challenge. He cycled all the way across Canada. Starting on the west coast in the city of Vancouver, he made it to the city of Halifax on the east coast, a distance of over 5,700km. A paramedic who trained hard for the trek, Bruckner made the distance in 13 days, three hours and 49 minutes, possibly breaking the record. The race was a time trial in which a cyclist tries to cover the distance as quickly as possible. Bruckner, who had a team keeping track of his time, used the race to raise money for the Canadian Mental Health Association. Doll crazy: A couple from Krasnoyarsk in Russia are known worldwide for their ability to create realistic dolls. Anastasiya and Sergey Lutsenko are trained artists who use their talents to give their dolls amazingly realistic details such as freckles and elaborate hairstyles. Each unique, handmade creation can take weeks or even months to complete. Both trained in classical art, the couple researched to find the best materials to use. Doll collectors love the results of the Lutsenkos' work so much that they pay thousands to acquire one of their masterpieces. Sitting sport: An unusual sport is played in the Netherlands called Paalzitten, or pole sitting. It is as it sounds: competitors sit on top of poles to see who will last the longest before getting bored, tired or numb. The long poles are outfitted with a seat and a backrest and they are placed in water which reduces injury if someone accidentally falls off. Competitors are allowed to take bathroom breaks every now and then. The history of Paalzitten is unknown but it is thought to have started in the Dutch province of Friesland. Today it is more of a tourist attraction than a sport.
