“RIP”: Mourning Kim Kardashian Receives Ski Legend Lindsey Vonn’s Support

By

Love, loss, and legacy have intertwined in a poignant tribute to the late patriarch of the Kardashian family. Robert Kardashian Sr breathed his last in September 2003 and this 22 February marks his 80th birth anniversary. The Kardashian clan opened their hearts to share the endless cherished memories of the man who left an indelible mark on their lives. As Kim Kardashian alongside Khloe Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, and Kris Jenner took to Instagram and shared their heartfelt tributes, the Kardashian family finds solace in the support of unexpected allies.

Olympic champion and skiing legend Lindsey Vonn extended her heartfelt condolences to the Kardashians in a touching display of empathy. Amid the glimmering lights of social media and the whirlwind of fame and fortune, the icons sought comfort in shared experiences of grief and remembrance.

Lindsey Vonn touches the bereaved souls of the Kardashians
Kim Kardashian shared a picture of her with her dad and her sister, Kourtney, decked up in their ski jackets and holding the ski board. Reminiscing the good old days and their memorable ski trips to Vail, she mentioned how it would have been a very different day for them if their father had been here today. She further mentioned, “I can’t ski without thinking of you. I’ll always remember the trips and memories you created for us and never ever take those moments for granted.”

To this post, Lindsey Vonn added a comment showering support and kindness for the Kardashians. Vonn began her journey in the ice holding the hands of her grandfather. While she was just a seven-year-old kid, she had quite a good experience of skiing in Minnesota, Oregon, and Colorado. Vonn, who herself has received endless support from her family in her childhood, did not resist from commenting in the post sharing grief in such moments of loss.

Kim Kardashian has always taken a deep interest in skiing. A few weeks ago, Kim shared a video of herself skiing down the slopes in the “Ski Szn”. While the video received endless love and appreciation from fans across the globe, Vonn was up to help Kim with some suggestions for her improvement. The 39-year-old commented, “Let’s talk. I got some tips”. Hearkening back to Kim dealing with the loss of her dad dearest, undulating support from family was the cynosure of all eyes, as she was kept in good stead.

Claressa Shields completes epic body transformation ahead of MMA comeback fight: ‘I conquered depression’

By

Claressa Shields is in terrific shape ahead of her MMA comeback.

The undefeated three-weight boxing world champion hasn’t fought in her second sport since suffering a split decision defeat against Abigail Montes in October 2021.

After becoming a boxing superstar, Sheilds decided to pursue MMA glory too

Shields will look to improve her MMA record to 2-1 when she squares off against fellow novice Kelsey DeSantis on the PFL vs Bellator: CHAMPIONS card in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night.

It’ll be her first fight of any kind since outboxing Maricela Cornejo to retain her WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, and WBF middleweight boxing belts in June 2023.

Since then, Shields has battled with a mental health issue that led to her gaining a lot of weight before she got back in the gym and completed an incredible body transformation.

Earlier this month, the 28-year-old shared a before and after picture that showed how far she’s come since deciding to fight back against depression.

‘The GWOAT’ recently opened up about her mental health struggles

“I did go through a rough time, and it did make me gain a whole lot of weight,” Shields told talkSPORT.com. “I was just not motivated, and kind of discouraged.

“When I started back training, I did just decide to not let depression win and just to keep working. I really wasn’t going to let anyone know about it, but it was something that was on my heart to put out there.”

Shields, who is aptly nicknamed ‘The Greatest Woman of All Time’, revealed her unhappiness wasn’t to do with fighting, and was exacerbated by personal issues.

She added: “It wasn’t nothing involving boxing why I was down.

After beating depression, she’s now in shape and ready to continue her MMA career

“Real-life stuff happened that I can’t really go into detail about. People have family problems, relationship problems, and problems with yourself that you can’t really figure out.

“At the end of the day, I feel like I conquered it. I’ve only had to deal with depression a few times in my life, and it always feels different every time it creeps back on you.

“It’s all about if you’re going to let depression win or not, and I decided to win like I do everything else.”

Shields will carry her fighting spirit into the cage this weekend.

The Flint, Michigan native has set herself the lofty goal of becoming the first person to hold world titles in boxing and MMA simultaneously, and her journey starts against DeSantis.

If it doesn’t come off it won’t be for a lack of trying. Shields is certainly putting the work in, and her body transformation shows that.

Tiger Woods excelled at this 1 particular thing in his prime, says fellow pro

By

For Tour pros who happened to play alongside Tiger Woods in his prime, the opportunity was both a blessing and a curse: a blessing in the sense that they received an insider’s look at the greatest player of their generation, and a curse for, well, the same reason.

Geoff Ogilvy was among that group of fortunate unfortunates. The 46-year-old Aussie reached a career-best ranking of No. 3 in 2008, during Woods’ longest stretch in the ranking’s top spot (Woods spent 281 weeks as World No. 1 between 2005 and 2010).

“You weren’t gonna beat him. No one was gonna beat him,” Ogilvy said of Woods on this week’s episode of Subpar. “He was special.”

And there was a particular trait that made Woods special, Ogilvy told Subpar hosts Colt Knost and Drew Stoltz: In his prime, Woods had a clutch gene unlike any other.

“Tiger, every single time there was high expectations, he’d go and do well,” Ogilvy said. “And so he goes and wins the tournament. That, to me, was the best.

“I mean, we’ve all played with guys like DJ and Brooks and Scotty and Sergio and these guys who can play outrageous golf. It’s just like, wow, this is a really high level. But Tiger, every time the expectations were high, he met them, or exceeded them, every single time. Never didn’t exceed expectations.

“And it’s just, I don’t know how you do that because that’s the biggest anchor in golf, your own expectations, right?” Ogilvy continued. “You just beat it every time.”

Ogilvy said he observed a noticeable change in Woods’ demeanor over the course of a tournament.

“He was a genius at finishing 72 holes in front of everyone else,” he said. “I mean, Thursday, Friday, he was pretty casual and you’d be talking, it was like a normal Thursday, Friday with anyone else. Saturday, he’d be a little bit more serious, and Sunday you couldn’t talk to him. Like, he just wouldn’t even look anyone in the eye.

“He was almost meditating,” Ogilvy continued. “You know, he was just walking really slow, really measured, and he just somehow knew how to get to the end in front of everyone else. He was just better at it than everyone else.”

For more from Ogilvy, including when he first realized Woods was going to be a unique talent.

Gervonta Davis Scheduled to defend his lightweight belt against Frank Martin

By

It has been confirmed to The Ring that Gervonta Davis will defend his WBA lightweight title against Frank Martin in late spring/early summer on Amazon Prime, headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event on Pay-Per-View.

Gervonta Davis Ascends To WBA Super Lightweight Champion - Sports Illustrated Boxing News, Analysis and More

Davis hasn’t fought since his win over Ryan Garcia in a mega-event last April. The Baltimore native served 44 days in a detention center in June having violated terms to his 90-day house arrest at the home of his long-time trainer Calvin Ford. Davis had pled guilty to taking part in a car accident involving four people in November 2020.

Since his release, he has been linked to several possible fights, including a recent offer from Eddie Hearn to move up to welterweight and face Conor Benn. That always looked a stretch for Tank, who has long fought on the PBC umbrella.

Meanwhile, Martin was riding the crest of a wave and primed to face Shakur Stevenson last fall for the vacant WBC 135-pound belt. However, at the last minute he backed away from the deal and hasn’t fought since. While it was startling at the time, it always looked as though PBC had something up their sleeve for Martin, and a fight with Davis apparently made the most sense.

Gervonta Davis' plea deal rejected after 2021 hit-and-run crash

Davis (29-0, 27 knockouts), rated at No. 2 by The Ring at lightweight, impressively took the IBF 130-pound title from Jose Pedraza (TKO 7) in 2017. Since then, his star has risen and he is one of the most popular attractions in America, regularly selling out arenas across the country and performing on Showtime Pay-Per-View.

The 29-year-old owns a highlight-reel knockout over Leo Santa Cruz (KO 6) and showed that his vaunted power carries up in weight when he came on strong to stop the much larger Mario Barrios (TKO 11) at 140 pounds. More recently, he stopped WBA 130-pound titlist Hector Luis Garcia (TKO 9) and then dismantled Ryan Garcia (KO 7) in a fight that garnered 1.2 million PPVs.

Martin (18-0, 12 KOs), rated at No. 6 by The Ring at lightweight, won his first 11 fights and started working with then-unified welterweight titlist Errol Spence Jr. and his trainer Derrick James. The leg-up has benefited Martin, who has gone from strength to strength, taking the unbeaten record of Jerry Perez (KO 7), stopping one-time contender Romero Duno (TKO 4) and Jackson Marinez (TKO 10).

He was hugely impressive dominating Michel Rivera (UD 12) in a match up of unbeaten prospects. The 29-year-old southpaw had a harder time than expected and had to come on late to edge out Artem Harutyunyan (UD 12) last July.

“Everyone has their own perception” – Carlos Alcaraz weighs in on Rafael Nadal calling Novak Djokovic ‘the best in history’

By

Carlos Alcaraz has given his views on the GOAT debate after Rafael Nadal recently called Novak Djokovic the best player in tennis history.

Last year, Djokovic equaled Margaret Court’s record for most singles Majors (24) in tennis history, which is also an Open Era record. With respect to ‘big titles’ (Grand Slams, ATP Finals, Masters 1000s, and Olympic gold) won, Djokovic (70) is well ahead of Nadal (59) and Roger Federer (55).

Carlos Alcaraz feeling 'hurt' after shock defeat in Buenos Aires

Rafael Nadal recently hailed longtime rival Djokovic as the best player in the sport’s history, stating that the statistics back up that claim.

I believe that numbers are numbers and statistics are statistics and, in that sense, I think he has better numbers than mine and that is indisputable. It is not beneath me nor do I have an ego big enough to try to disguise a reality that is not. This is the truth,” he told Diario AS. (via CNN)

I think that with respect to titles, Djokovic is the best in history and there is nothing to discuss in that,” he added.

When asked to give his views on the same, rising Spanish star Carlos Alcaraz stated that while statistics show Djokovic is a step ahead of Nadal and Federer, it is not easy to pick between the trio.

Everyone has their own perception of things. For some it is Djokovic the best, for others it is Rafa, for others it is Federer. Rafa said that it is Djokovic at the level of numbers and I also think so. At the level of numbers, Djokovic is the best in history, there is no doubt about that. I think to say who is the best is something that goes beyond the numbers. All three are there and for me all three are the best,” he told MARCA.

After retirement in Rio, Carlos Alcaraz targets Indian Wells and Las Vegas exhibition with Rafael Nadal

At the ongoing ATP 500 event in Rio de Janeiro, Carlos Alcaraz picked up an ankle injury during his tournament opener, which forced his mid-match retirement.

Facing Thiago Monteiro in the opening round of the Rio Open, Alcaraz twisted his ankle in the first game of the contest. After getting some treatment off the court, he resumed the match and managed to break Monteiro’s serve to take the lead.

However, the injury continued to trouble him and he eventually retired from the clash with the scoreline reading 1-1.

Later, after undergoing an MRI scan, the 20-year-old announced that he had a Grade II lateral sprain which could keep him on the sidelines for a few days. He also assured fans that he will be back on the tennis court in Las Vegas, where is to face Rafael Nadal in an exhibition match on March 3. He also confirmed his participation in the Indian Wells Masters.

I just had an MRI on my ankle after yesterday’s injury. After the meeting with my doctor Dr. Lopez Martinez and my physiotherapists Juanjo Moreno and Sergio Hernandez the diagnosis is a grade II lateral sprain. I have a sprain that will keep me out for a few days! See you in Las Vegas and Indian Wells,” Carlos Alcaraz said.

Claressa Shields says former Manny Pacquiao opponent is ‘not that great of a fighter’

By

Claressa Shields hasn’t held back on one fighter.
Claressa Shields has continued her war of words against Keith Thurman as the former welterweight world champion gets ready for his fight with Tim Tszyu next month.

Claressa Shields says former Manny Pacquiao opponent is 'not that great of a fighter'

Shields has commented frequently about being a better boxer than Thurman based on her credentials inside the ring compared to the Florida man’s.

After collecting multiple honors in boxing, Shields is eager to do similar in MMA, but that hasn’t prevented her from being vocal about high profile boxers such as Thurman.

“Keith Thurman, he’s not that great of a fighter. He’s good, not great,” said Shields when speaking to talkSPORT.

“Me, I’m great regardless of whether I am a woman or not. They want me to bow down like, ‘Keith Thurman is a man, he was a world champion so that makes you less than him.’ Yeah right! That’s not the truth, and ain’t nobody going to make me believe it.”

Why Is Simone Biles Not Competing at Winter Cup 2024?

By

As the 2024 Paris Olympics draws nearer, all eyes are on Simone Biles, as she says, “That’s the path that I would love to go.” If Biles clinches a medal in Paris, she will break the record of Shannon Miller, who is known for winning seven Olympic medals. However, the pivotal gateway to Paris lies in the qualification process which is the Winter Cup. It unfolds from February 23 to 25 at the International Convention Center in Louisville, Kentucky.

This event serves as a launching pad for elite athletes as they commence their journey into the Olympic year. Despite the anticipation surrounding this competition, Biles’ absence raises eyebrows. What’s behind her decision to skip the event?

Simone Biles’ absence from the Winter Cup raises questions
Biles won’t be gracing the Winter Cup stage, notably absent from the official entry list. Despite her aspirations for the 2024 Olympic team, the legendary gymnast conveyed to Vanity Fair a tempered perspective, stating, “If I don’t make it to Paris, it won’t absolutely crush me.” This perspective stems from her Tokyo Olympics experience, where she grappled with the “twisties,” resulting in the loss of air awareness during routines and potential injury, necessitating her withdrawal from multiple events.

Is it the pressure, the twisties, or anxiety that’s keeping her away, or is she solely focused on training hard for Paris? Whatever the reason may be, we can only hope she’s taking the time she needs. However, as the Winter Cup approaches, it appears that Simone Biles is enjoying her well-deserved break, as she expressed yesterday, “Ready to go on vacation again.” However, previously during the Tokyo Olympics, Simone Biles’ decision to withdraw from the team surprised Olympic viewers, but it followed years of stress and pressure on the shoulders.

A closer look at Simone Biles’ mental health struggles
Following her decision to withdraw, she further elaborated on the immense pressure she had been facing, acknowledging its impact on her. Biles confirmed that her withdrawal wasn’t due to a physical injury but rather her fear of potential mistakes that could lead to injury during competition. By openly discussing her struggle to find the right mindset for the team final, Biles joined the ranks of star athletes addressing the mental challenges of high-stakes competition, often unseen by the public.

Despite her unease during the Olympics, Biles had endured years of challenges since her stellar performance at the 2016 Rio Olympics, including confronting abuse within USA Gymnastics and the added complexities of the pandemic-induced postponement of the Tokyo Games. Throughout, she continued to strive for excellence while navigating personal and professional pressures, leaving an indelible mark on the sport.
