A strong child

Giuliano Stroe is a Romanian gymnast. Giuliano Stroe has been lifting weights and learning gymnastics since he was two-years-old in Florence (Italy) where his family lived. Now, they live again in Romania. In 2009, he was recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records after setting the record for the fastest ever ten metre (33 feet) hand-walk with a weight ball between his legs. Stroe was on an Italian TV Show, and has become an Internet sensation as hundreds of thousands of people on You Tube

Giuliano's father Iulian, 33-years-old, said he has been taking Giuliano with him to the gym since he was born, but he is careful not to push Giuliano too hard. Stroe insists his son's workout schedule is not excessive. "He is never allowed to practice on his own, he is only a child and if he gets tired we go and play," Iulian said.

Giuliano says his newfound celebrity has not gone to his head. He adds that he still does normal eight-year-old activities like watching cartoons and painting.

Rafa Nadal is the player who can "stole" the Novak Djokovic's number one. If Rafa Nadal arrives at the final and he wins, he will become the new number one or the best tennis player in the world.

Nutella ice cream.

                                                         

           Nutella ice cream recipe!

Nutella ice cream is a homemade recipe. And we can enjoy her sweet and tasty flavor. Now I'll explain how we can get to make this treat.


Ingredients to six servings:

• Nutella 255 g.

• 200 ml of cream 35% mg.

• 200 ml of whole milk.

• 30 g of soft flower honey.

• 30 g of icing sugar.

How to make Nutella ice cream:



We combine the Nutella with cream and whole milk, honey and sugar. Beat with a whisk until creamy smooth. Refrigerate and pour the mixture directly into a freezer container.
If we make ice cream we remove the mixture manually or beat, much better, from time to time. It would even be desirable to mount the cream separately and attach it to the rest of the cream instead of adding it in liquid form.

Anyway this is an ice cream so creamy you do not have many problems at the time of its preparation.

After a few minutes you can taste and savor the nutella ice cream.

A good appetite to you!
