Ruth Harrison and Thelma Carpenter were the female rising stars of this sport. Apart from the player, female referees were appointed. Michaela Tabb was the first female referee to take part in a tournament during the 2002 […]

[…]
It’s a really, really long time to hold your breath for fifty years. Back in the summer of 1976 in Montreal, David Wilkie swimmer sporting a moustache and an entirely new silicone cap, sped through the water and finished in a time that didn’t seem within the bounds of human ability.

At 4:00 PM on Friday, the famous Cheltenham roar echoes over Cleeve Hill and into Prestbury Park. Here, reputations will not only face tests; people will shape them.

The air in the Kaseya Center typically smells of expensive popcorn and salt air, but on Tuesday night, it smelled like smoke. Pure, unadulterated friction. If you told me in 2017 that a defensive specialist from Kentucky would one day leave a court in Miami having scored more points than Kobe Bryant’s most famous night, […]

The first thing you notice, if you follow the NFL closely enough, is the sound. Not the crowd. Not the music. The sound of a fan base collectively exhaling, then immediately arguing. A head coach goes, and suddenly every clip gets replayed like it’s evidence in court. Fourth and short. That timeout. The weird challenge […]
