The Olympics has a Russia problem — again — as we head toward the 2028 Games in LA Column for @yahoosports.bsky.social sports.yahoo.com/olympics/art...

SkiMo made its Olympics debut on Thursday! As a sport, it makes absolutely no sense. And it was pretty awesome! Column for @yahoosports.bsky.social sports.yahoo.com/olympics/art...

The IOC has quietly removed all traces of a controversial T-shirt commemorating Hitler’s 1936 Olympics in Berlin from its online store after it garnered significant attention over the weekend. Why are they selling Nazi memorabilia in the first place? sports.yahoo.com/olympics/art...

One of my hottest (and best) takes: It’s time to move basketball to the Winter Olympics. sports.yahoo.com/olympics/art...

As usual, Eileen Gu was the center of attention for the Big Air finals. But the unmatched toughness of “Mighty Meg” Oldham turned out to be the story of the night. Column for @yahoosports.bsky.social sports.yahoo.com/olympics/art...

Eileen Gu may compete for China — fact that generates a lot of takes on social media. But the only entity she truly represents is Eileen Gu, Inc. My @yahoosports.bsky.social column sports.yahoo.com/olympics/art...

Everyone has a theory for the Malinin Meltdown. But trying to diagnose it misses the point. Sometimes we simply need to see failure to understand what true greatness means. sports.yahoo.com/olympics/art...

The Olympics has a new judging controversy in figure skating. It happens every time. Is AI judging the answer? Can it transform the way all sports are officiated? Jeremy Bloom believes so - and has built a company trying to prove it. sports.yahoo.com/olympics/art...

Chloe Kim was on the cusp of history. She ended up passing the baton. My column on a dramatic and emotional night in Livigno, where tough-as-nails 17-year old Gaon Choi ended Kim’s eight-year Olympic halfpipe reign. “It’s such a full circle moment” sports.yahoo.com/olympics/art...

Is 17-year old Alessandro Barbieri the American heir to Shaun White’s halfpipe throne? He’s got the charisma and the tricks - and may even have the goods to snag a medal on Friday. sports.yahoo.com/olympics/art...

A photo finish, a shock DQ and a 44-year-old charging on: Snowboard cross delivered pure Olympic chaos Thursday. sports.yahoo.com/olympics/art...

Nick Baumgartner won a gold medal at 40, came back at 44 and is thinking about making the Olympics in Salt Lake at 52. A man truly doing it for the love of the game. sports.yahoo.com/olympics/art...

How do snowboarders and freeskiers come up with their tricks? A lot goes into it before they ever hit the snow. sports.yahoo.com/olympics/art...

Liz Lemley is a thrill seeker, a pilot and a “silent assassin.” She’s also a 20-year old from Colorado who pulled a huge upset to win the gold medal in women’s moguls sports.yahoo.com/olympics/art...

Eileen Gu says she has nothing to prove at these Olympics. But she didn’t compete that way in the best slopestyle competition women’s skiing has ever seen. sports.yahoo.com/olympics/art...

Many of the Winter Olympic sports are dangerous, but athletes don’t process risk like you and me. That doesn’t mean they’re reckless. In the wake of Lindsey Vonn’s crash, here’s my deep dive on how these athletes approach competitions that could kill them. sports.yahoo.com/olympics/art...

It ended disastrously and gruesomely, with images and sounds that will be hard to shake. But who are we to second guess Lindsey Vonn for trying? Column for @yahoosports.bsky.social sports.yahoo.com/olympics/art...

In America, only gold gets the glory. But skier Bryce Bennett showed Saturday you can end your career without a medal and still have everything you wanted. sports.yahoo.com/olympics/art...

A shift is taking place within snowboarding and freestyle skiing. Born out of X Games counterculture, embracing the Olympics took time. But now there’s a real debate in those communities: Has the Olympics become the pinnacle of their sports? sports.yahoo.com/olympics/art...

Could other programs have been Indiana if they’d rolled the dice on Curt Cignetti when he was at James Madison? Some ADs have regrets. “Biggest f-up ever.” sports.yahoo.com/college-foot...

Indiana is an inevitable freight train rolling toward history. Can Miami stop it? sports.yahoo.com/college-foot...

There are many similarities in the career arcs of Dabo Swinney and Scott Drew. But with college sports in the midst of massive change, they now stand on opposite ends of the spectrum in how to deal with it. It hasn’t inoculated either one from criticism. My column: sports.yahoo.com/college-foot...

The new “Battle of thr Sexes” is a disgrace. sports.yahoo.com/tennis/artic...

There were a bunch of ways Michigan’s coaching search could have ended badly. Instead, they upgraded - hugely - with Kyle Whittingham. Competence wins. sports.yahoo.com/college-foot...

With Baylor adding a former NBA Draft pick to its roster this week, the line between pro and college continues to blur. Can the NCAA stop the progression toward full-fledged NBA players coming back to college? Should they even try? sports.yahoo.com/mens-college...

As Lane Kiffin tweeted through it in Baton Rouge, the party went on without him in Oxford and Ole Miss put him in the rear view with a playoff romp. My column for Yahoo Sports sports.yahoo.com/college-foot...

Already has (credit @danwolken.bsky.social)

Don’t want to join a conference? Fine, but if it’s a close call for a playoff spot, you get what you get. @danwolken.bsky.social:

Could the CFP committee snub Ole Miss if Lane Kiffin left in the next two weeks? The committee’s protocol says they can. And the Florida State precedent looms large. sports.yahoo.com/college-foot...

Among the highlights in here, @danwolken.bsky.social calls Paul Feinbaum a loudmouth. As always, Dan breaks down yesterday’s college football action beautifully.

The beautiful mind of Bucky McMillan has taken him from the World Series of Poker to Alabama high school domination to Texas A&M For @yahoosports.bsky.social, I went deep on Bucky Ball’s biggest test: The SEC. “They won’t respect him at first. Then he’ll win.” sports.yahoo.com/mens-college...

For @yahoosports, I have an exclusive preview of what the Brian Kelly vs LSU trial is going to look like sports.yahoo.com/college-foot...

Koa Peat had the best college debut I can remember for Arizona tonight. Absolutely electric.

About 15 percent of college basketball players are foreign. Under the Trump Administration’s student visa crackdown, it’s never been harder to get them to campus. I had an inside view of how Arizona navigated it with one recruit who nearly got lost in the system. sports.yahoo.com/mens-college...

From fake money to fake body parts, there’s a scam around every corner in Miami — including now Coral Gables, where the Canes are about to miss the playoff again despite a loaded roster. That’s how you end up No. 1 in the Misery Index. sports.yahoo.com/college-foot...

The best horse race in years will be run Saturday. Few will notice. Mike Repole, aka Mike from Queens, owns two of the favorites in the Breeders Cup Classic - and he had plenty of thoughts. “We’re the only sport that screwed up gambling” he told Yahoo Sports sports.yahoo.com/horse-racing...

With Brian Kelly’s firing at LSU, the coachinf carousel is about to spin out of control. My column for @yahoosports.bsky.social sports.yahoo.com/college-foot...

That was a big time 4th quarter by Trae Young

One day after Florida fired Billy Napier, I was in Dan Mullen’s office talking about his old job, his current one, the coaching carousel and why UNLV is a prime location to rehab coaching careers. sports.yahoo.com/college-foot...

For its first dozen years in the SEC, Texas A&M had everything it needed to win titles - except the substance behind the flash. Under Mike Elko, that’s changed. And the 7-0 Aggies have never been closer to breaking through for real sports.yahoo.com/college-foot...

Brian Kelly, the erudite New Englander via South Bend, fits the LSU culture like Gordon Ramsay working the grill at Waffle House. @danwolken.bsky.social’s Misery Index:

Another @danwolken.bsky.social Penn State banger on candidates, vibes, definitions, expectations, the decision facing Pat Kraft, the decision facing fans, and how it all coalesces to shape the future

There’s no buyout too big in college football these days. As the sport changes, coaching contracts should too. sports.yahoo.com/college-foot...

Last night we lost one of the unique characters who made March Madness what it is. As administrators look to reshape the NCAA Tournament, let’s hope they act like Sister Jean will always be watching. sports.yahoo.com/mens-college...

Bill Belichick is failing at North Carolina because he thinks he’s bigger than the job. He’s wrong. My column for @yahoosports.bsky.social sports.yahoo.com/college-foot...

The James Franklin dilemma, nepotism at UNC, wasteful spending at Texas, a potentially ugly divorce at Kentucky - nobody was spared in this week’s Misery Index for @yahoosports.bsky.social sports.yahoo.com/college-foot...

Vandy’s breakthrough is about more than Diego Pavia. After decades of apathy, the school aligned behind a sports-loving chancellor who gave permission to finally act like an SEC member. “We have no tolerance for mediocrity anywhere” My latest for Yahoo Sports sports.yahoo.com/college-foot...

Bobby Petrino? Don’t do it, Arkansas. Just don’t. sports.yahoo.com/college-foot...

Who’s actually calling the bad plays for Auburn? Is it OK to ask Brian Kelly about his offense now? Why is Penn State’s record against top-10 teams so bad? Did Florida St get screwed? Wake Forest definitely did. It’s all in the Week 5 Misery Index sports.yahoo.com/college-foot...
