Chloe Kim burst onto the snowboarding scene at age 13, winning silver at the prestigious Aspen, Colorado, X Games just a few months before her 14th birthday. She went on to win the halfpipe event at Aspen the following year and then went on to claim another seven victories at X Games.

Millie Bobby Brown was set to portray Kerri Strug, a member of the 1996 'Magnificent Seven' USA gymnastics team, but left due to creative differences.

Dearica Hamby has recorded career highs in points per game (18.4) and field goal percentage (57.2%) while averaging 7.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.6 steals last season.

"He was so charming and very sexy. It was the same type of charisma you see in movie stars." - Longtime friend Dede Brinkman, Sacramento Bee

Lin Yu-ting has won a bronze medal at the Asian Boxing Elite Championships in her first competition since a gender-eligibility row overshadowed her Olympic gold medal-winning performance at the 2024 Paris Games.

Valentina Greggio has once again rewritten the record books, setting a new women's speed skiing world record of 248.270 km/h, surpassing her own long-standing mark of 247.083 km/h from 2016.

I think when this first was announced, there was this feeling there would be 10 NFL players on that roster, and I'll be surprised if there's one. I think we have plenty of players that can acclimate, but it's going to take a month or two.

Marie Harf argued that the decision was solving a problem that I actually don't think is a big problem on the Olympic stage. She stated, 'Honestly, I don't care' about trans women competing against women, which led to stunned reactions from the panel.

"Athletes who screen negative for the SRY gene permanently satisfy this policy's eligibility criteria for competition in the female category. Unless there is reason to believe that a negative reading is in error, this will be a once-in-a-lifetime test."

Londoners know Seb Coe as the gold medalist who helped bring the best Olympics of a generation to the city. He is a proven winner who has already delivered for the capital - putting him way ahead of the field.

Derval O'Rourke recently saw the trailer for the new Rory McIlroy documentary about his Masters victory and there's a line in it about last year being his 17th attempt to win the green jacket.

"You could tell where his skill set was as a coder and as a thinker, and he was just supremely advanced. He was taking senior-level courses as a freshman and showing up to a three-hour final exam, two hours late, and getting the highest grade in class."

I think that the Paris Games deserve a lot of the credit for rejuvenating that interest and enthusiasm, and some of that momentum continued through to Milan,

Nyenget had as good a view as anyone of his fellow Norwegian's sixth gold medal of the Games in the 50km mass start. It was not until the final uphill slope that Klbo landed the killer blow. Nyenget had stayed with him until then and admirably fended off a couple of attacks on the final lap of the 7.2km course.

On the foothills of the mountains, by the banks of the river in Cortina, there was a forest. It was full of tall larch trees. Arborists said the oldest of them had been there for 150 years and dendrologists that it was unique because it was unusual to find a monocultural forest growing at such a low altitude in the southern Alps.

Boy, am I ever embarrassed. Several days ago on this website, I was all Ski mountaineering is the hot new thing at the Milan Cortina Games! and You're gonna love skimo! and Skimo! Skimo! Skimo! (That last one is a direct quote.) I was rambling on about bootpacking and hyping up Jon Kistler's Instagram (now up to 1,476 followers!) and basically making myself into a ski mountaineering influencer.

The Winter Olympics come to an end Sunday, with the much anticipated hockey gold medal game between the USA and Canada. And with that, the Rangers' break from the grim reality of their lost 2025-26 season is over. The NHL's Olympic roster freeze ends at midnight [Sunday, going into Monday morning], meaning the clock begins ticking again Monday for those players worrying about potentially being traded. And it will continue to tick all the way up until the March 6 trade deadline.

Since the start of her international short-track speedskating career just over seven years ago, 24-year-old American Corinne Stoddard has established herself as one of the best competitors in her field. The Seattle native currently sits third in the world rankings for both the 500-meter and 1,000-meter events, and fourth in the rankings for the 1,500 meters. When Stoddard first began competing internationally, the reputation of American short-track speedskating was arguably at its nadir. Her prowess on the ice has helped change that.

Four years ago at Beijing 2022, Daniela Maier of Germany and Fanny Smith of Switzerland were the unwilling protagonists of a convoluted medal dispute. Smith had crossed the finish line in third ahead of Maier in fourth. But the race jury flipped the result after ruling Smith had interfered with Maier, despite both skiers disagreeing. Smith appealed against the jury's decision to the court of arbitration for sport (Cas), which overruled the officials' decision and deemed that bronze medals should be awarded to both skiers.

It could be the last Olympics for a sport that mixes the grace of ski jumping with the grind of cross-country skiing. Nordic combined events at the Milan Cortina Games ended Thursday. And the International Olympic Committee is considering scrapping it from future Games because of a small TV audience and podium positions dominated by a tiny group of nations.

Quinn and Jack Hughes watched in person as the U.S. women's hockey team rallied to beat Canada in the gold medal game at the Olympics on Thursday night in an overtime thriller that showcased the face of the sport in Hilary Knight and her likely successor in that spot, Laila Edwards. The Hughes brothers had a family stake in the matter. Their mom, Ellen, had a role in the women's championship as a player development consultant.
