The Netherlands have Max Verstappen. Spain has Alex Palou. New Zealand has Scott Dixon. The United Kingdom has Lewis Hamilton. It could be anyone's race to win.The United States has plenty of big names in the racing world as...

Envisioning a theoretical Team USA auto racing lineup

George Russell called his shot and delivered a stunning victory in the Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday. After pitting on Lap 10, as one of the first drivers at the top of the field to come in for fresh tires, Russell told his team that they could consider making Sunday’s Grand Prix a one-stop race, flying in the face of all conventional wisdom and going against the grain of the rest of the drivers on the grid.

South Korea continues its dominancy over women’s team archery at the Olympic Games. On Sunday, their squad won the gold medal over China to celebrate its 10th straight victory in the event: ever since women’s team archery was introduced in 1988, South Korea has come away as the winner.

Snoop Dogg is the greatest thing to ever happen to the Olympics. There I said it. To be fair I have said this at least 14 times so far whether it be through various text messages to friends, out loud to my dogs or in my head over and over again. The Olympics in general rule and I am in no way trying to make this anything about the greatest athletes in the world competing for eternal glory, but how did we ever do this without Snoop being a part of it?

Why Big Ten expansion is great for recruiting, but horrible for athletes and fans

As was the case when Erik ten Hag took the reins at Manchester United, Arne Slot’s nationality and coaching history means Liverpool will be linked with just about every Eredivisie standout imaginable.
