    A conjecture on tautological vector bundles over Grassmannians, which generalizes the well-known Dvoretsky theorem, is stated and discussed. Moreover it is demonstrated that each three-dimensional real normed space contains a two-dimensional subspace with Banach-Mazur distance from the Euclidean plane at most \(\frac{1}{2}\log \frac{3}{4}\) and this estimate is sharp.
