Skiing Legend Lindsey Vonn Enters Unofficial Face-Off With Another Olympic Skier in ‘Catch Me if You Can’ Mountain Challenge

By

Lindsey Vonn is a legend in the world of Alpine skiing. Despite retiring from the sport in 2019, the three-time Olympic medalist has continued to be an icon in the sport. Giving her tough competition and shining in Alpine skiing is another great who retired on February 13, 2021.

This skier boasts two Olympic gold medals and is celebrated as one of the greatest giant slalom skiers. In a recent blazing “Catch me if you can” challenge, the two Olympic legends faced off in an epic battle, giving fans an enthralling spectacle.

 

Lindsey Vonn and another Olympian face off in an epic skiing due
On TikTok, Lindsey Vonn shared an epic snippet with her 30.7 K followers. Lindsey Vonn and Ted Ligety, Olympic gold medalists in Alpine skiing, challenged each other to a thrill-inducing race at Deer Valley, Utah. The skiers showcased their impressive turns on the slopes and demonstrated their impeccable skill and dominance in high-speed skiing despite being retired from the sport. Lindsey Vonn captioned the video, “Who wins when 2 Olympic Gold 🥇🥇 medalists find each other on the same mountain….catch me if you can gets real!”

Vonn led for most of the race, even slowing down at one point to let Ligety catch up. However, in a spectacular display of speed, Ted Ligety surpassed her on the bottom portion of the hill. Despite their fierce competition, the two shared a hearty laugh and warmth toward each other, showcasing the camaraderie that exists between the legends. The epic ride by Lindsey Vonn also comes just days after she skied down a legendary track, showcasing her ongoing passion for skiing.

Accomplishing an unfulfilled dream despite retirement
On January 21, Lindsey Vonn took to Instagram to share that she had fulfilled a long-standing dream in Austria. Despite her numerous accomplishments, one of Vonn’s biggest regrets was not being able to conquer the Strief during her competitive career. The opportunity arose with the help of Red Bull, allowing Vonn to make her unfulfilled dream come true. Further showcasing her legend, Vonn not only achieved her dream but also did it at night, adding an extra level of difficulty and making the feat more commendable.

She wrote in her caption, “Never had I been so excited and anxious to ski a downhill in my life… but I guess that’s also to be expected considering I hadn’t skied downhill since the day I retired 4 years earlier!” Lindsey Vonn, despite her retirement, continues to push the boundaries within the sports world, and fans await more such epicness from the legend as 2024 continues to unfold.

Novak Djokovic LAMENTS ‘one of the worst’ performances at a grand slam as Jannik Sinner makes Australian Open final

By

Novak Djokovic fell to his first defeat at the Australian Open in a staggering 2,195 days as he was defeated by Jannik Sinner on Friday, 6-1 6-2 6-7(6-8) 6-3.

The 22-year-old Sinner will now contest the first grand slam final of his career having ended Djokovic’s bid for an 11th title in Melbourne.

Jannik Sinner of Italy celebrates after defeating Novak Djokovic of Serbia in their semifinal at the Australian Open tennis championships at Melbourne Park, Melbourne, Australia, Friday, January 26, 2024.

It also means that Djokovic’s pursuit of an outright record 25th grand slam title is put on hold after he was outplayed by the Italian across their three hour, 22-minute contest.

Sinner, who dropped his first set of the tournament in Friday’s semifinal, is the youngest male finalist at the Australian Open since Djokovic won the title in 2008 and will face Russian Daniil Medvedev in Sunday’s showpiece.

“It was a very, very tough match,” Sinner said in his on-court interview. “I started off really well. He missed for two sets, I felt like he was not feeling that great on court, so I just tried to keep pushing.”

You have to go all the way back to his fourth-round defeat against Chung Hyeon in 2018 for the previous time that Djokovic lost in Melbourne – 33 matches ago.

‘Nole’ later gave a very frank assessment of his performance against Sinner, which was also his first semifinal defeat at the Australian Open.

“He outplayed me completely today,” Djokovic told reporters. “Look, I was, in a way, shocked with my level, in a bad way. There was not much I was doing right in the first two sets.

“I guess this is one of the worst grand slam matches I’ve ever played – at least that I remember. Not a very pleasant feeling playing this way. But at the same time, credit to him for doing everything better than me in every aspect of the game.”

Djokovic was uncharacteristically sloppy in the opening exchanges and produced 29 unforced errors across the first two sets. Sinner, by contrast, had only eight, and his accuracy and aggression earned him a 2-0 lead in just an hour and 13 minutes.

Tightening his game in the third set, Djokovic looked for a foothold in the contest but was unable to find an opening on Sinner’s serve. Indeed, this was the first time in his career that Djokovic failed to produce a break-point chance in a completed grand slam match, according to Opta.

After the third set remained on serve, Sinner engineered a match point in the tie-break but was unable to take advantage as he netted a forehand.

Instead, Djokovic won the next three points, conjuring flashbacks to the 2022 Wimbledon quarterfinal when the Serb came back from 2-0 down to win.

But there was to be no repeat of those heroics on this occasion. Djokovic was broken at 2-1 in the fourth set having held a 40-0 lead, and from there, Sinner was always in control and could see out the biggest victory of his career to date.

He has now beaten Djokovic in three of their last four matches dating back to November.

“I was looking forward to this match, it’s always nice to have this kind of player you can learn from,” Sinner said. “I lost last year [against Djokovic] in the semis in Wimbledon. I think I learned a lot from that; it’s all part of the process.”

Medvedev comes back to win in five sets
In Friday’s other semifinal, Medvedev came from two sets down to defeat Germany’s Alexander Zverev 5-7 3-6 7-6(7-4) 7-6(7-5) 6-3 in a marathon contest.

The third seed will contest his sixth grand slam final against Sinner having endured a difficult path to this point, winning in five sets on three occasions.

Medvedev celebrates reaching his third Australian Open final against Zverev.

The four-hour, 18-minute match against Zverev was Medvedev’s second-longest of the tournament so far, and it was an encounter filled with brutal, energy-sapping rallies, particularly in the opening stages.

He was on the back foot throughout the semifinal, coming from 4-1 down in the first set before being broken late on, then being outplayed in the second set as Zverev upped his game.

But Medvedev found a way to stay in the match through the next two sets, winning both in tie-breaks as neither player could break the other’s serve.

Securing the crucial break at 2-2 in the fifth set, Medvedev then broke Zverev again at 5-3 to set up a third final in Melbourne.

“I was a little bit lost, but during the third set, I started saying to myself, ‘If I lose this match, I just want to be proud of myself, I want to fight till the end, fight for every point, and if I lose I lose,’” Medvedev said in his on-court interview. “I managed to win, so I’m very proud.”

The 27-year-old owns a 6-3 advantage in his head-to-head against Sinner, but the latter enters the match the fresher of the two having won the majority of his matches in three sets.

To make the stakes even higher, there will also be a first-time Australian Open champion crowned in Rod Laver Arena on Sunday.

“Not Gonna Happen Bches”: Claressa Shields Sends Clear Message to Haters Ahead of Her MMA Return

By

In the world of combat sports, few figures command attention like Claressa Shields. The champion boxer, now an MMA fighter, never shies away from a challenge. Her journey in MMA, though short, has been a spectacle. With a record of 1-1 in the Professional Fighters League (PFL), Shields has faced both victory and defeat.

Her debut win against Brittney Elkin turned heads. Yet, a split decision loss to Abigail Montes raised eyebrows. Now, she’s back with a message for her critics ahead of a potential feature in the PFL vs. Bellator MMA event in Saudi Arabia on 24 February. But what exactly did she say? And why should it matter?

Some blah blah won’t stop Claressa Shields!
Claressa Shields has taken to Twitter with a powerful declaration. “Blah blah. You haters are the funniest 😂,” she begins, setting a tone of dismissal towards her detractors. Her tweet continues, unapologetically bold, “I got into MMA to prove a point! I proved it.” This statement reflects her initial victory against Brittney Elkin.

Shields doesn’t stop there; she addresses her setback, “I lost a split decision my 2nd fight y’all trolled! ‘Yeah go back to boxing, you’re scared of MMA girls.’” This refers to her closely contested match against Abigail Montes, which ended in a split decision in favor of Montes.

However, Shields turns this narrative on its head, demonstrating her resilience. “Now I’m back after handling BIG BUSINESS in boxing and y’all mad again,” she states, underlining her triumphant return to MMA after reinforcing her boxing legacy.

Her tweet culminates in a defiant crescendo, “Y’all want me to be a loser and sad so bad! Not gonna happen b**ches.” This line serves as a clear rebuke to her critics and a reaffirmation of her unbreakable spirit. But who is she facing in her third MMA fight?

Upcoming challenge: Shields vs. DeSantis
As Claressa Shields gears up for her return to the PFL lightweight division, she faces an intriguing opponent in Kelsey DeSantis. DeSantis, holding a record of 1-2-0, presents a unique challenge. Her journey began with a debut loss to Al-Lanna Jones in 2013, followed by a lengthy hiatus from the sport.

Claressa Shields inks multi-year deal with PFL, targets 2024 MMA return – Fighters Only

Making a comeback in 2023, DeSantis faced two more fights, experiencing a loss to Amanda Bell and a first-round knockout victory against debutant Kathleen Nelson. In contrast, Shields, with a 1-1 MMA record, showcases a brief but impactful cage career. This matchup sets the stage for a compelling clash of comeback and resilience.

Will Shields’ boxing finesse and MMA adaptability prevail, or will DeSantis’ return to the cage mark the beginning of a new chapter in her fighting career?

Former Mercedes ace deals brutal Lewis Hamilton blow in Max Verstappen ‘sbox statement

By

Max Verstappen has dominated F1 over the past two seasons while Mercedes have been forced to settle for scraps.

Former Mercedes CEO Nick Fry believes that Max Verstappen could beat the rest of the field – including seven-time world champion and former title rival Lewis Hamilton – in equal machinery and that he would still win, even if he was driving a ‘s**tbox’.

F1 Grand Prix of Italy - Previews
Max Verstappen has been the man to beat in F1 over the past two seasons

Verstappen and Hamilton shared one of F1’s greatest title battles in 2021 with the World Championship going down to the final lap of the final race in Abu Dhabi. However, rather than enjoying another close fight the following year, Red Bull enjoyed a major performance gain on Mercedes, leaving the two rivals some distance apart.

Instead, Verstappen was left fighting Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc before Red Bull’s impressive development trajectory left the Scuderia in the dust and he claimed a second successive title. The 26-year-old then proceeded to take things up another notch in 2023, winning 19 out of a possible 22 Grands Prix as he broke record after record.

Speaking to OLBG, Fry said: “Johnny Herbert’s idea of having a one-off race where everybody drives the same car would be a good one if it was practical! Those kinds of ideas have been toyed with in the past, but the issues lie in the sponsorships, which are so closely tied to drivers and cars. That’s where it gets difficult.

F1 Grand Prix of Abu Dhabi - Practice
Lewis Hamilton still holds hopes that he can win an eighth World Championship

“Unfortunately, I would have to say that Verstappen is showing that he is the best driver at the moment, and I don’t think it would matter much. It could even play into his hands because he’s shown he’s good enough to be very adaptable and would probably drive any of the cars better than his competitors.

“I heard someone say once ‘If you can drive, you can drive anything’. I don’t think it would matter if you put Max in a s***box or a Red Bull car, he’d probably still beat the rest of them. He’s very adaptable. I don’t think it would change much, sadly.”

Lewis Hamilton's simple criteria for continuing Formula 1 career revealed : PlanetF1

This prediction will be treated as nothing less than an insult by Hamilton, who still believes he has what it takes to fight the three-time world champion for F1’s greatest honor, provided Mercedes can produce the required machinery to compete with Red Bull.

The Silver Arrows are undergoing a major shift in design philosophy this winter as they look to claw back ground in the development race, but it is a tall order to produce a car worthy of beating a Red Bull team that finished with over double Mercedes’ 409-point tally in 2023.

Why Lexi Thompson is switching to a Maxfli golf ball and what amateurs overlook in choosing a ball

By

Lexi Thompson is one of the most compelling figures in golf. A 13-year veteran of the LPGA Tour, Thompson has won 11 LPGA Tour titles including the 2014 Kraft Nabisco Championship and 2018 CME Group Tour Championship. Starting in 2024, Thompson has signed an exclusive arrangement with Maxfli to play its ball, a move sure to raise some eyebrows as the 28-year-old LPGA star can clearly play any ball she chooses. In this exclusive interview with Golf Digest Equipment Editor, E. Michael Johnson, Thompson discusses her reasons for the switch, her process for testing and the biggest mistakes amateurs make when it comes to their golf ball selection.

/content/dam/images/golfdigest/fullset/2020/08/Lexi Maxfli ball.jpg

Golf Digest: This is a really big switch, and obviously you could play any golf ball that you want. How long have you been testing the Maxfli ball?

Lexi Thompson: I’ve been practicing and testing with it for the last few months. I was just looking for a change in my game, and I’ve always known about Maxfli and the quality of product they make and the performance behind it.

GD: What was the primary impetus for making the change?

LT: I was like, you know what, I’ll give it a try and it just exceeded my expectations. I’ve seen my game around the greens improve and definitely some extra distance off the tee. I’ll take both those things.

GD: What’s your process for testing golf balls? Do you rely on launch-monitor data or is it more what you see and feel on the course?

Lexi Thompson to Play in PGA Tour's Shriners Children's Open in Las Vegas - Sports Illustrated

LT: Definitely a combination of both. I’ve gotten on the launch monitor just to see the spin numbers. I saw improvement there as I’ve dropped down in spin, but it’s gained me a little extra ball speed. That’s a pretty good combo and that’s really what I was looking for. As far as ball testing, I usually love to test in 30 mile-per-hour winds, which you can get in Florida and elsewhere on tour. It’s important for me to see how the ball reacts, especially in the wind if it’s going to move as much as I feel that it should when hitting a solid shot. And the Maxfli ball reacts the way I expect a shot to. That’s big. Once I see that, then there’s the feel around the greens. It reacts and feels just how I expect it would when hitting a pure chip.

GD: I’ve written a couple of pieces with Tiger Woods about his equipment and on golf balls, he’s always told me his final sanity check is the trajectory on chip shots, which I find remarkable. Do you have kind of a final sanity check before you say, “I’m good to go with this”?

LT: The chip shot is a big thing because you want it coming out in the window that you feel that you’re hitting the chip on. You want it to react on the green the way you expect it to when hitting a nip chip. But I would have to say how it reacts in the wind, that’s definitely the most important aspect of a ball for me.

Lexi Thompson Looks To Start LPGA Season With A Bang

GD: Maxfli has multiple models in its Tour series, with the Tour, Tour S and Tour X. Did you test all the models and if so, what were some of the noticeable differences you saw?

LT: I tested the Tour and the Tour S. I didn’t see too much of a difference. A little difference in spin and the Tour S came off a touch higher around the greens, so I settled on the Tour model. They were both very good, but the Tour lessened my spin off the tee and gave me a few extra yards.

GD: Are you a player who likes to know all about the technology of a product or do you simply focus more on how it performs?

LT: Honestly, I can’t say I get too involved with that. Of course, I like to know the performance behind the golf ball and just how it’s very trusted with the technology that’s involved with it. It’s always nice to have that in the back of my mind. So while I’m not super into all the technology behind it, it’s very important to have that trust.

GD: Have you made any equipment changes during this period?

LT: I haven’t as of now, but I am in the transition of changing into the Cobra Darkspeed driver. It’s super important to test if you change to a new driver, especially change to a new driver and new ball. The driver might have a little less spin off the face, and I need to see if that matches up with the new ball, too. So, I did test that as well and it was still good off the new driver.

GD: You say you’ve gained a few extra yards. Have you had to recalibrate any of your yardages or make any other adjustment?

LT: The yards off the tee you just take, but I also have to be aware I’m one or two yards longer with the irons as well. It’s also a little bit of a lower ball flight, which I really like. It not only behaves better in the win but comes out in a better window for me.

Two PGA Tour pros played with Lexi Thompson. What'd they think?

GD: You play in a lot of pro-ams. What’s one of the biggest mistakes you see everyday players make with their golf ball choice?

LT: It depends on the player. A pretty decent golfer, I feel like some of them don’t get the spin numbers matched up with their swing speeds and launch conditions, which is super important. I feel like a lot of people don’t take that into account and they should. You might feel like you hit a good shot and it doesn’t go the distance that you think it should or it moves a lot in the wind and that could just be a matter of a too high spinning golf ball. People don’t realize how important the golf ball is in golf.

Anthony Joshua’s 2023 yearly earnings revealed in new leak

By

A new report has revealed just how much AJ made in the last financial year, and his daily earnings are absolutely mental.

Anthony Joshua is clearly not going to be short of a pound or two when he hangs up his boxing gloves for the final time. His Sparta Promotions company, which channels his boxing and sponsorship earnings, posted huge turnover figures for the end of the accounting period of March 2023, with a worth of £129m.

These figures do not take into account the earnings from his last two fights either, against Otto Wallin in October and Robert Helenius last August. And Joshua will only get richer, after he agreed to face Francis Ngannou, the former UFC champion in March, set to take place in Saudi Arabia.

Joshua has previously expressed his desire to be a billionaire, and the way things appear to be going for him financially, he could yet achieve that lofty ambition.

Inside Anthony Joshua’s finances from 2023
He was making £113,000 every day
A glance at the Sparta Promotions group balance sheet shows a total equity of £129.1m for the 2022-23 financial year, broken down as assets of £130m minus £1.63m going to creditors. Sparta returned a smaller profit – of £16.1 million – in the year to March 2022 and generated £20.2 million worth of business.

The new accounts, which Joshua signed himself in December, show that Sparta had a turnover of £41.3 million. That works out at £113,000 per day. It turned a profit of £35.9 million – or £98,356 per day. The firm’s turnover included £28.3 million from boxing bouts, plus £13 million from outside the ring activities.

Joshua’s income is also bolstered by lucrative sponsorship deals with the likes of Hugo Boss, Jaguar, Land Rover, and Under Armour. He also left Sky Sports and signed an exclusive contract with DAZN that will see him take home an estimated £100m in exchange for two fights every 12 months until he retires.

In addition, Joshua also has extended his empire into the world of property. His company, 258 Commercial Investments, holds £26.5 million and 258 Investments is sitting on £12.3 million. However, 258 Commercial Investments did see a reduction in turnover in the tax year 2021-22, a period which saw Joshua lose to Oleksandr Usyk in London. In that period, the company brought in just £5.5m.

Anthony Joshua wants billionaire status one day
In a 2017 interview with GQ, he said: “When I first started, the aim was to become a multi-millionaire. But now there are ordinary people worth millions just because of property prices. So the new school of thought is that I need to be a billionaire. Being a millionaire is good, but you have to set your sights higher.”

While being savvy with his investments, Joshua is also not shy to treat himself or his family should the desire emerge. His garage, or more likely garages, contain the likes of a Rolls-Royce Phantom, Mercedes v8, and Audi A3 S-Line. While it is known that he has also bought his beloved Mum Yeta a north London home and a Rover.

Although it is unknown how many more fights Joshua has left in him, clearly he won’t have any problems lending a fiver to a mate should they ever ask!

Alpine Legend Lindsey Vonn Makes Humble Request to NHL World Months after Utah 2034 Bid

By

For Olympic gold medalist and Alpine skiing icon Lindsey Vonn, retirement couldn’t signify the end of her involvement in the broad world of sports. Having hung her boots in 2020, Vonn got onboard with some of the country’s most exciting upcoming sporting events. Along with that, the 39-year-old former World Champion is also the Chair of Athlete Experience in Utah. Her new role has seen Vonn taking to bigger stages and advocating Utah’s prospects as the host for the 2034 Winter Olympics.

And now, the legendary downhill skier has a special request for the country’s authoritative hockey institution, which she believes should pay more heed to her words. Vonn has now taken to social media to amplify the news of the recent activities of Ryan Smith, the owner of the NBA team Utah Jazz.

Lindsey Vonn seizes the chance
Smith is one of the country’s most eccentric businessmen and his contribution to the nation’s sports cannot be overstated. In her recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Vonn shared Smith’s announcement which states that the SEG (Smith Entertainment Group) is looking to roll the dice on the process of bringing the National Hockey League to Utah. Understandably, with Lindsey Von promoting Utah as one of the hosts for the 2034 Olympics, the initiative ticks a few right boxes for the skiing star.

Vonn believes the process would offer a plethora of exciting opportunities for Utah, and especially for Salt Lake City. “Salt Lake would be an incredible place for a new NHL team“, wrote the eight-time World Championships medalist. With IOC also considering Salt Lake as a “preferred host” for the 2034 Games, Vonn believes this is the perfect time to expand the region’s footprint in other winter sports, and having its own NHL team would benefit the situation immensely.

“With the potential Olympic winter games in 2034, it would amplify the sport in the region“, claimed Vonn in her post and she also believes that this will help the newer generation with an additional opportunity to explore the sport as well. However, it isn’t just the dreams of hosting the Olympics that’s keeping Vonn’s inner flame alive after she departed from skiing.

Lindsey Vonn on Mental Health After Retirement, Support Dogs

Vonn’s retired life is full of thrilling new challenges
As the country braces up for an exciting year thanks to the Pro Volleyball Foundation’s new league that kicked off on January 24 in Nebraska, Vonn is among the many investors who have come out in support of the women’s professional volleyball league. And she recently ticked off another one from the wishlist as well.

Only days ago, Vonn got the opportunity to conquer the legendary Streif in Austria thanks to some aid from Red Bull. With one of her biggest dreams fulfilled, it waits to be seen if her plans to bring the Olympics to Utah also yield similar results.

Great News as Lexi Thompson signs a new endorsement deal for 2024 season

By

Lexi Thompson is the new face of Maxfli. The 11-time LPGA winner has signed an endorsement agreement with Maxfli for the 2024 season and will play the Maxfli Tour ball. She will also take part in a series of marketing campaigns for the brand.

The Maxfli Tour Series is sold exclusively at Dick’s Sporting Goods and Golf Galaxy for $39.99 per dozen.

Lexi Thompson WITB: LPGA star makes surprising gear change

“I’ve been testing the Maxfli Tour Series for a few months now, and the Maxfli Tour ball exceeded my expectations,” Thompson said in a release. “The ball fits my game extremely well, increasing my ball speed without sacrificing control. I’m excited to be joining forces with a brand that has such a longstanding, proven reputation for high-quality and performance.

Thompson begins her 13th season on the LPGA at this week’s Drive On LPGA Championship at Bradenton Country Club in her native Florida. Last season, Thompson’s game took a nosedive as she struggled with her ball-striking.

A new swing thought from new instructor Tony Ruggiero, however, turned things around in time for the Solheim Cup in Spain. After a 3-1-0 performance for Team USA, Thompson went on to tee it up on the PGA Tour for the first time at the Shriners Children’s Open, where she carded a second-round 69. Thompson averaged 301 yards off the tee over two rounds in Las Vegas and tied for 13th in driving accuracy against the men, hitting 20 of 28 fairways.

She was back.

“Lexi is a remarkable golfer, and I can’t think of a better player to have join the Maxfli family as an exclusive partner for the Maxfli golf balls,” said Aimee Watters, VP Vertical Brand Marketing, DICK’S Sporting Goods.

“Becoming only the seventh woman to compete in a PGA event is so impressive, and we know there is more to come! We feel honored to have Maxfli be a part of her journey and are confident that she will continue to break records, while using our Tour series ball on the course.”

Thompson told Golfweek in Bradenton that she took one week off after the Grant Thornton Invitational and then got back to work.

“It’s definitely a big year with the Olympics and Solheim Cup,” said Thompson, who has a tattoo of the Olympic rings on her left wrist. “Anytime I can represent my country I want to be on those teams.”

Thompson also hired a new full-time caddie in Colton Heisey, who worked for her four times last season. Heisey, a six-year caddie veteran of the PGA Tour and Korn Ferry Tour, had previously worked for Thompson’s brother Curtis.

“We just make a great team,” said Thompson. “I just want somebody out here, obviously I depend on him a lot with numbers, don’t carry a yardage book, but big personality for me. To just keep me relaxed in between shots and have a good time.”

Heisey first caddied for Thompson at the Kroger Queen City Championship where she tied for 19th, her best finish of the season after eight missed cuts.

“She stripes it,” said Heisey. “It’s nice too because we’re the same age so we get along great. It’s refreshing for sure.”
