When it comes to training for Red Bull Gym Clash, Noah Ohlsen is a true expert. A veteran of the CrossFit Games, with 11 appearances under his belt, and a top level HYROX and World Fitness Project competitor, Ohlsen has spent over a decade at the pinnacle of the sport, earning a reputation for his relentless work ethic and infectious energy. Known for his mantra “happy but hungry,” Ohlsen has built a career not just on physical prowess, but on his ability to inspire others to embrace fitness as a joyful journey.For Ohlsen, Red Bull Gym Clash is much more than just a competition, it’s a celebration of the camaraderie and community that fitness brings into people’s lives. “Gym Clash is for everyone,” Ohlsen says. “Everyone on their fitness journey has a gym, a training partner or a group of people that they can attribute their hard work and dedication to.

When it comes to preparing for Red Bull Gym Clash, Ohlsen emphasizes the importance of versatility in your training. “The best exercises to prepare for Gym Clash would be a variety of strength and conditioning/ functional fitness movements in the categories of weightlifting, cardio and bodyweight exercises,” he explains. “For example, training variations of squats (back, front, overhead) with both a barbell and dumbbells, doing cardio on different machines (rower, runner, bike, ski erg) and practicing bodyweight movements like burpees, lunges, push-ups and pull-ups should be enough exposure to have you prepared for any of the challenges Gym Clash may throw your way.”
While the workouts may be intense, Ohlsen reminds participants to keep things simple when it comes to gear. “The main piece of equipment you need to compete in Gym Clash is your body!” he says. “Aside from maybe some different shoes for running versus lifting events, and maybe a weight belt and some wrist wraps. Obviously, an ice cold Red Bull is highly recommended.”

For those building a team, Ohlsen encourages a mix of strategy and good vibes. “If I was picking a team, I’d start with choosing three other people that I usually have a good time with. Even though it’s a competition, it should be fun and good vibes tend to lead to smoother performances,” he says. But beyond the fun, balance is key. “Everyone should be pretty well-rounded, but having a couple of secret weapons where one specialises in strength, one in cardio and the other in skill should lead to an unstoppable quattro.”
And if there’s one thing Noah Ohlsen knows, it’s how to celebrate fitness in a way that’s as rewarding as it is fun.

NF News – FEI Accepted Testing Standards for Protective Headgear
The FEI has published the FEI Accepted Testing Standards for Protective Headgear, which will come into effect on 1 January 2026.
This document outlines the testing standards recognised by the FEI for Protective Headgear used in FEI disciplines at international competitions. It also requires quality control testing to ensure ongoing compliance with the original safety standards.
The FEI Accepted Testing Standards for Protective Headgear will replace the FEI List of the applicable international testing standards for Protective Headgear, which remains in effect until 31 December 2025.
Developed in consultation with the FEI Helmet Working Group and other relevant experts, the new list aims to bring the FEI’s rules in closer alignment with the Group’s technical recommendations.
This marks a significant step forward in the FEI’s ongoing commitment to athlete safety, as the Helmet Working Group continues its collaboration with manufacturers and testing standards organisations to enhance Protective Headgear across the sport.
We encourage all stakeholders to familiarise themselves with the new list ahead of its implementation.

Lippmann and Bock win German Derby to advance in Gstaad
Lippmann, 30, and Bock, 25, have both started their careers playing indoor volleyball. A standout with the German national team, Lippmann moved to the beach in 2022 and had great success playing with the legendary Laura Ludwig, as the two got to represent their country at the Paris Olympics last year, finishing 19th.
Bock, who was also part of the German national team during her volleyball career, moved to the sand after the end of the 2023-2024 club season. She didn’t start playing internationally until the beginning of 2025, and Lippmann and her won their first Beach Pro Tour medal as partners just three days ago, as they finished second in the Warmia Mazury Challenge.
In the main draw in Gstadd, the Germans will be part of Pool C, alongside Brazil’s Carol Salgado/Rebecca Cavalcanti, Canada’s Brandie Wilkerson/Melissa Humana-Paredes and Ukraine’s Maryna Hladun/Tetiana Lazarenko.

Elliot Daly: Lions full-back sent for X-ray on injured arm
Elliot Daly will have an X-ray after injuring his forearm in the second half of the British and Irish Lions’ win over the Queensland Reds.
The versatile 32-year-old made his first Test start at full-back in four years in England’s win over Italy in March, but had stolen a march on rivals for the 15 shirt – Hugo Keenan, Blair Kinghorn and Marcus Smith – with his good form on tour.
Daly was brought into the starting XV to face the Reds at short notice after Keenan, who was initially named as a starter after overcoming a calf strain, suffered a bout of illness.
“We’ll see,” said Lions head coach Andy Farrell of the outlook for Daly with the first Test three and a half weeks away.
“He has a bang on the forearm and is going for an X-ray this evening, so we all have our fingers crossed for him.”
Daly has started both tour games in Australia at full-back and filled the role off the bench just before the hour in their defeat by Argentina in Dublin.
Keenan and Kinghorn, who played for his French side Toulouse in last weekend’s Top 14 final, are still to take the field for the Lions.
However, Farrell says he is not concerned despite only having three more warm-up matches before the Lions return to Brisbane to face the Wallabies in their 19 July series opener.
“We have loads of full-backs,” he said.
“Hugo will be OK tomorrow, or the next day, and Blair is ready to go.”
Smith, more usually a fly-half, has also been deployed at full-back this season for England, with his versatility flagged by Farrell as a key to his selection for the squad.

By Ryder Cup Digital On July 2, 2025 15:00 UTC
United States Ryder Cup Captain Keegan Bradley today named Gary Woodland as his fifth and final vice captain for the 45th Ryder Cup, which will be played September 23-28, 2025, at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York.
Bradley previously appointed Jim Furyk, Kevin Kisner, Webb Simpson and Brandt Snedeker as vice captains.
“I have an incredible amount of respect and admiration for Gary and all he has accomplished in this game,” said Bradley. “As a major champion and someone who is still competing at a high level, he is well aware of the demands of performing on golf’s biggest stages. He will be a valuable leader for us over the coming months and throughout the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black.”
Woodland will be making his first Ryder Cup appearance as a vice captain or player. The 41-year-old represented the U.S. in the 2019 Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Melbourne, Australia, where he tallied 1.5 points in a 16-14 U.S. victory.
“I am extremely excited and grateful to Keegan for the opportunity to support the U.S. Team at the 2025 Ryder Cup,” said Woodland. “Keegan’s passion for this event is contagious and I am thrilled to be a part of it. With just over two months to go until we arrive at Bethpage, I am fully committed to doing everything I can to help Keegan as well as our team of vice captains and players.”
The Topeka, Kansas, native is a four-time winner on the PGA TOUR with 56 top-10 finishes in 383 career starts. He captured the 2019 U.S. Open title at Pebble Beach, shooting 13-under 271 to win by three. Woodland was the recipient of the 2025 PGA TOUR Courage Award, presented to a person who, through courage and perseverance, has overcome extraordinary adversity, such as personal tragedy or debilitating injury or illness, to make a significant and meaningful contribution to the game of golf.
