if the mountain biker is pulling the trolley should the swimmer be acting like a tug boat? ocean liner or something a little smaller.

Good photography although the copy didn't really measure up, but it works.

Is decathlon a sportswear brand?

The headline should have been kept simpler...maybe something along the lines of 'Only sport'?

Is the boat reminiscent of a stimulated penis? or is it just me and my mischief?
