Monaco unlikely to extend Breel Embolo's contract
Breel Embolo's (28) long-term future at AS Monaco has been uncertain for some time. The Swiss striker is clearly happy at the Principality club, however, his deal with Les Monégasques expires at the end of next season.
There was little clarity provided by Monaco CEO Thiago Scuro during an interview attended by Get French Football News. 'Let's see what happens this summer […] he still has a contract. He could extend or he could leave,' said Scuro, leaving both possibilities very much open.

Earlier in the season, Embolo expressed a desire to extend at Monaco, and he has since struck up a fine partnership with new striker Mika Biereth, both on and off the pitch. However, Nice-Matin understands that Monaco will not look to renew the Swiss striker's deal, which expires at the end of next season. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that Embolo will leave this summer, as the publication points out. He remains happy at the club and therefore could stay for next season.

Swiss man buried in snow for two hours to break world record
June 9 (UPI) -- A Swiss man put his cold endurance to the test and broke a Guinness World Record by spending more than 2 hours buried in the snow while wearing only his swimming trunks. Elias Meyer, a competitive powerlifter, said he decided to take on the title for the longest time spent in direct full body contact with snow after discovering no one had yet cracked the 2-hour mark. Advertisement The previous record, set by Polish man Valerjan Romanvoski in 2022, stood at 1 hour, 45 minutes and 2 seconds. Meyer, wearing only his swimsuit, was buried under a mound of snow for 2 hours and 7 seconds. He said the cold bothered him less than the weight of the snow pressing down on him. "The heavy snow pressed me down, causing my shoulders and elbows to ache. Perhaps you also feel a sharp ice cube against your back, with no chance to do anything about it, you can only be thankful, thankful for everything," Meyer wrote on Instagram. The athlete said he wanted to demonstrate that the "body is capable of incredible things."

Okeeheelee Park's $400,000 pump track for cyclists, skateboarders and scooters now open
Palm Beach County's first bicycle pump track is open for business. The pump track, a circuit of rollers and banked turns designed for bicycles, foot scooters and skateboards, is already seeing heavy use. Users generate momentum by 'pumping' or by up-and-down body movements. There is no need to pedal. The track opened on May 31 at Okeeheelee Park, on Forest Hill Boulevard near Greenacres, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and exhibition rides from both professional and amateur riders. The 10,000-square-foot facility offers a continuous-loop riding experience for people of all ages and skill levels. It can accommodate wheelchairs. Motorized vehicles are not permitted. The two-year-in-the-making track was made possible by a $400,000 donation from Margaret Blume and Palm Beach Pump Track, the nonprofit that oversaw its construction. The county Parks Department now operates it. Velosolutions, the Swiss-based company that built the track, defines a pump track as a 'High Performance Playground for Everything with Wheels.' The asphalt-surface pump track, open from sunrise to sunset, lies behind the dog park at Okeeheelee Park. Four things to know for those who plan to visit: Helmets are required, and safety equipment is highly recommended. The track is not wide enough for more than one participant at a time. Pets and personal belongings are prohibited on the track surface. Users should ride within their own ability. The track is unsupervised. Signage warns riders to ride at their own risk. The county expects the facility to be a major draw as the closest pump track is in Haulover Beach in Miami-Dade County. 'We are thrilled with the amount of usage thus far,' said Jennifer Kraatz, president of Palm Beach Pump Track. 'The word has gotten out.' More: Okeeheelee Park may be getting another amenity: a playground for everything with wheels Kraatz said the pump track has been designed to host qualifying tournament events that could be held in conjunction with the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. That is not expected to occur until next year, but Kraatz said that she expects communitywide tournaments to be held before then. Her nonprofit already operates the BMX track at Okeeheelee Park. Unlike the pump track, that course features a track that requires pedaling and has separated start-and-finish lines. Bicyclists mostly use it.
