The Los Angeles Lakers struggled to find any traction in 2023. While there is no questioning the greatness of Anthony Davis and LeBron James, the rest of the roster never stepped up. This offseason, the Lakers are reportedly aggressively trying to add another star, but any championship roster is defined by the pieces around those stars. The Lakers re-signed one of those pieces today. Guard Max Christie is coming back to the team on a four-year deal.

Team USA has its youngest member on perhaps its most star-studded team headed to Paris.

Hezly Rivera, 16, impressed the U.S. gymnastics selection committee at the 2024 Olympic Trials this past weekend in Minnesota, earning her place as fifth and the youngest member of the team.

“Yeah, it feels so surreal,” Rivera told NBC’s “TODAY” show on Monday morning. “I cannot believe that I’m here right now. It’s just all my hard work has been paying off. I’m so...

A Pennsylvania grandmother put up an impressive showing at the US Olympics’ Team trials over the weekend when she finished in third place in a race walking event – more than 20 years after she first walked away from the grueling sport. 

Michelle Rohl, 58, clinched third-place in the 20,000-kilometer race walking event in Springfield, Oregon on Saturday with a sharp time of 1:42:17. 

The bronze medal caps off an astonishing return to the sport Rohl once retired from to homeschool her five children — who are now all grown, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

WyoFile has acquired a photograph of a lynx in Wyoming, a landmark observation of a species currently considered absent from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022. There was no doubt in his mind what it was: a tom lynx, judging by its blocky head.
