In a way I didn’t expect, watching Alex Honnold free solo Taipei 101 is highlighting just how jaw dropping his el cap free solo was.

There are people INSIDE the building filming Alex Honnold from inside the windows.

Cancelled for tonight — but rescheduled for tomorrow 😱

Per my weather app it’s raining buckets in Taipei right now. Not sure how this date was chosen for the stunt but I’d assume Netflix would choose a historically not rainy time of year. So if this 🌧️ isn’t the universe intervening, idk what is!

Let @sarahspain.com catch you up on last night's Rodman news, plus her convo with Angela Ruggiero who you'll hear calling the women's hockey games at the Olympics in just a few weeks! Hear how she prepped for her big moments and the games she just can't re-watch: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

I thought Julie Chu had a pretty tough choice ahead of her: at the upcoming Olympics, does she root for her former team, the US, or for her wife – one of Team Canada’s assistant coaches? But she impressed me with a grounded, loving answer. This ep is well worth a listen! 🏒🇨🇦🇺🇸

In her new memoir, Gabriella Papadakis alleges her former skating partner Guillaume Cizeron was “controlling.” Cizeron says that's “a smear campaign” ahead of Milan-Cortina. Now, NBC is dropping Papadakis: "Her new book creates a clear conflict of interest." Damn! www.sportico.com/personalitie...?

Today is a watershed moment for women’s sports. The Supreme Court is hearing arguments relating to how Title IX will be enforced going forward. Title IX was created to expand, not exclude. It ensured that everyone could participate, and promised to protect opportunity, access and dignity for all. 👇🏻

‘She will go down as one of the best’: the rise of Jessie Buckley

Need a “nerds can hoop too” shirt ASAP.

Important context for today’s races, especially the U20 events: Ethiopian officials say at least 14 of the country’s U20 athletes had their US visa applications rejected by the American embassy in Addis Ababa, a development that has "decimated" the nation’s junior teams.

The World XC Champs are underway, with sun and sand and somewhat inexplicably an “alligator alley” and a “roller coaster” element. This is the sport World Athletics prez Seb Coe wants to be in the Winter Olympics. (The sport was in the Summer games in 1924 but has been left out ever since)

Everyone say hey to @biancahillier.bsky.social - the missing piece who will join me and @byalexazzi.bsky.social to take Little Citrus to Big Citrus status again! 🍊 Looks like I’ve got big “Sara/h” shoes to fill as a coworker…

As a sports reporter, this was the most epic sendoff I could've asked for. Yesterday was my last day at @theworld.org & my Bluesky-less coworker Sara made this stunning cake!! Send her praise! 😍 I ended up covering 40+ sports from all over the world. Here are just a few stories that'll stick w/ me🧵

Marta and Carrie Lawrence!!!!!

Competitive climbing has grown in Latin America, especially after becoming an Olympic sport in 2020. Colombia, a prime example of this trend, just hosted this year’s IFSC Pan American Cup, its first major international climbing competition.

There's vintage jewelry, then there's straight up ancient stuff. Turns out, both can be found in a thrift store. “My earliest estimate is probably the 4th or 5th century CE, and then you know, up into the medieval period." Latest for the @theworld.org: theworld.org/stories/2025...

Being a professional athlete and pushing your body to its limit is hard enough. Add in cross-country flights on a tight schedule? And not enough recovery resources? "Travel-wise, it's insane. It's crazy for your body. We are humans, we're not robots." theworld.org/segments/202...

Seattle has long planned for their June 26th Men's World Cup match to be a Pride Match, since it's on the same weekend as the city's annual Pride fest. But now, Egypt and Iran have been named as the two teams playing that game. What could go wrong? theworld.org/segments/202...

#IOC Pres Kirsty Coventry says IOC will now give athletes 60sec clips from the Games to use on socials. Unclear if these clips will be provided in real time? Will the athletes have any say in which clips are provided? Will last place athletes get clips too, or only those on the podium?

Really impressive penmanship (footwriting???) and the decision to dot the i from the o was really bold but he pulled it off

Think indoor soccer. Then make it 5v5, switch the ball, change some rules, and amp up the speed. Now it's futsal, a game "born in Uruguay and raised in Brazil" per @jamiefahey.bsky.social. The first FIFA Women's Futsal World Cup is on now. My story for @theworld.org theworld.org/segments/202...

Sports in the Winter Olympics have to be contested on either snow or ice. It's actually a rule! Still, one of the sports gaining momentum to be added to the winter lineup doesn't have either. XC! Why add this muddy sport to the mix? My latest for @theworld.org: theworld.org/segments/202...

3,000 athletes from 80 countries are in Tokyo now to compete in the 2025 Deaflympic Games. These Games predate the Paralympics by decades, yet the athletes receive far less funding and support than other athletes representing their nations. My latest for @theworld.org: theworld.org/segments/202...

1,024 players across Turkey's men's pro soccer leagues were suspended this week after being linked to illegal betting account. 300+ referees were accused of the same thing two weeks ago. theworld.org/segments/202...

Lindsey Vonn, the most successful woman in Alpine Ski World Cup history, says she's "potentially in the best shape of [her] life" at 41 years old due to improvements in recovery, nutrition, and overall training. After 5+ years out of the sport, she's now aiming to compete in Milan-Cortina.

Nneka Ogwumike has been recognized as one of the best basketball players in the best league in the world ever since she stepped on the scene. But even that hasn't been enough for her to make an Olympic roster. Now, her final chance at the Games is over. @theworld.org theworld.org/segments/202...

The relationship between a conductor and an orchestra is key to the success of the performance. That's why it's such a big issue that the orchestra at Venice's La Fenice theater is refusing to accept the incoming conductor, Beatrice Venezi. My latest for @theworld.org: theworld.org/segments/202...

Two years after October 7, 2023, the calls to ban Israel from international sports continue to grow. Perhaps the sport at the center of the conversation is soccer, as FIFA prepares to host the Men's World Cup next year. My update on those calls, for @theworld.org: theworld.org/segments/202...
