Wimbledon takes over New York City as the tournament expands beyond UK borders
There is only one place in the world where you can be greeted by Wimbledon stewards and invited to immerse yourself in the quintessential experience of British tradition and fare, with iconic strawberries & cream and Pimm’s served in a beautiful garden bar. Well, now you can make that two as Wimbledon expands its experience across the pond in New York City. It might not be as big as the British Invasion -- a cultural movement in the mid 1960s when all aspects of British music, lifestyle and entertainment exploded onto the scene and became popular in the United States -- but, already in its third year and having moved to a much larger and more picturesque location, Wimbledon’s invasion of New York City already seems to be a smash hit. The Hill in New York -- the name of Wimbledon’s New York City event -- is a reference to the famed hill at Wimbledon where thousands of spectators on “Henman Hill” or “Murray Mound” gather at this natural tennis amphitheater with their picnics to cheer on the biggest matches that are being shown on the giant screen attached to Court One.

How Wimbledon's sustainability mission is impacting change on sports globally
Hattie Park, the sustainability manager at the All England Club where the Championships at Wimbledon are held every year, walks around the bucolic 42-acre tennis grounds with a sense of pride combined with a sense of purpose. Sustainability might be something that takes a back seat to the 700 tennis matches played by the best in the world as millions of people watch around the globe, but to Park, that is almost exactly the point. “Wimbledon is essentially played in an English garden,” Park told ABC News during a visit this spring. “If we want to continue playing tennis and enjoying outdoor sport, whether it's at the elite level that you have at Wimbledon or at the grassroots level, we've simply got to ensure that we have a resilient environment to carry out that sport.” Park’s job is a big one. She wants to find a balance between the environment, natural resources and human needs -- constantly pushing for fundamental and foundational change without disrupting the aura and tradition that Wimbledon brings to the table.
Team USA Olympian Nikki Hiltz on their journey to Paris 2024 Olympics
Team USA middle-distance runner Nikki Hiltz discusses their journey to the 2024 Paris Olympics and their LGBTQ+ advocacy after coming out as transgender and nonbinary. Hiltz came out as a nonbinary, transgender person right before the Olympic trials in 2021. They wanted to walk away from the sport in 2021 after expecting a weight to be lifted. But it was the opposite. Hiltz mentioned that they didn't set out to be an advocate for LGBTQ rights, but were forced into the spotlight after coming out as trans-nonbinary. Having qualified for the Olympics on Sunday, Hiltz is now fully focused on the next goal. ABC News sat down with Hiltz on qualifying for the Olympics and the recent media attention they received.
