Jo’s Sport Social: A skier goes all Flashdance on us

This week’s sport social media round up also covers an innovative dance troupe, a couple of very random meet ups and one of the Beckham kids taking the mickey out of their mum’s on-court tennis shoes.

When you’re clobbered by the media – to be fair this tennis player often brings it on himself – the supportive tweets do still get through.

Wonderful innovative dance troupe – check this out.

A very random meet up!

When watching your kid play tennis for hours, make sure you wear sensible footwear. I’M TALKING TO YOU VICTORIA BECKHAM!
