US winger Kevin Paredes hit by another injury setback with Wolfsburg
The German club said Tuesday that Paredes had undergone successful surgery the day before on his foot and would be out 'for the time being.'
The 22-year-old Virginia-born Paredes was a rising star for Wolfsburg and the U.S. after making his national team debut in 2023 but injuries have affected his development.
Paredes only played twice in the Bundesliga last season after a foot injury sidelined him for months. Wolfsburg didn't specify if his latest operation was related to that problem.

Here's who ranks as best of the best after 100 years of All-America football teams Article content The Big Ten led all conferences with seven selections, two more than the Southeastern Conference. Of the 25 players on the first team, five won the Heisman Trophy and 21 are in the College Football Hall of Fame, two are nominated for induction in 2026 and two are not eligible because they are not yet 10 years removed from their college careers. A panel of 12 AP sports writers who cover college football selected the all-time team. It won't be, and shouldn't be, considered definitive. There have been far more great players over the last century than spots available. For a player to qualify, he must have been an AP first-team All-American at least once. His professional career, if any, was not to be considered. Also, a member of the all-time team could only be listed on the side of the ball where he was named first-team All-America.

Track cyclist Matt Richardson sets world record in the 200-meter flying start
KONYA, Turkey (AP) — British track cyclist Matt Richardson set the world record in the 200-meter flying start on Thursday by becoming the first person to break the 9-second mark. Richardson, who won three medals for Australia at the Paris Olympics before switching allegiance to Britain, recorded a time of 8.941 seconds at the Konya Velodrome. The 26-year-old Richardson broke Dutchman Harrie Lavreysen's record (9.088) set in Paris last summer. 'I was basically just a passenger. I gave the bike a bit of direction and it was just steering itself almost,' Richardson said in a British Cycling press release. 'I know this track can be quite a handful out of the corners so I was cautious in those spots but other than that it was just going as hard as I can.' The England-born Richardson won two silver medals last summer — in individual sprint and keirin — as well as a bronze in team sprint. Also, Will Bjergfelt of Britain set a world record in the C5 UCI Hour Record covering 51.471 kilometers in 60 minutes. He became the first para-cyclist to also break the 50-kilometer barrier. ___ AP sports:

(AP Photo/Ng Han Guan) Humanoid robots danced hip-hop, performed martial arts and played keyboard, guitar and drums at the opening ceremony of the first World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing on Thursday evening. The competition begins Friday with more than 500 humanoid robots in 280 teams from 16 countries, including the U.S., Germany and Japan, competing in sports including soccer, running and boxing. The event comes as China has stepped up efforts to develop humanoid robots powered by artificial intelligence. During the opening ceremony, the robots demonstrated soccer and boxing among other sports, with some cheering and backflipping as if at a real sports event. One robot soccer player scored a goal after a few tries, causing the robot goalkeeper to fall to the ground. Another player fell but stood up unassisted. The robots also modeled fashionable hats and clothes alongside human models. In one mishap, a robot model fell and had to be carried off the stage by two human beings. Teams from robot companies and Chinese universities including Tsinghua University and Peking University are competing in the games. Three middle schools are also participating. China's official newspaper People's Daily quoted a government officer in Beijing as saying that every robot that participates 'is creating history.' The event will last three days, concluding on Sunday. Tickets sold to the public range from 180 yuan (US$25) to 580 ($80). Fu Ting, The Associated Press.
