Olympic star Dahlmeier dead after climbing accident
Double Olympic biathlon champion Laura Dahlmeier has died after a mountaineering accident in Pakistan. The 31-year-old German was caught in rockfall during an expedition in the Karakoram mountains on Monday. Her climbing partner, Marina Eva, called emergency services after the accident, which occurred at about 5,700 metres (18,700 feet). Rescue teams, containing expert climbers from Germany and the United States, immediately began a rescue mission but their searches were hindered by adverse weather conditions. Dahlmeier's management company confirmed on Wednesday that she had died. "A recovery operation was launched but ultimately called off on the evening of 29 July," her representatives told Germany's Die Welt newspaper. Her management said that Dahlmeier had likely died on 28 July - the day of the accident. "It was Laura Dahlmeier's express and written will that in a case like this, no-one should risk their life to recover her," they said. "It was her wish to leave her body behind on the mountain in this case. This is also in line with the wishes of her relatives." The German Olympic Sports Confederation said Dahlmeier was "more than an Olympic champion - she was someone with heart, attitude and vision". International Olympic Committee president Kirsty Coventry said Dahlmeier's death is "deeply shocking for all of us in the Olympic movement". She added: "She lost her life in her beloved mountains. She will be remembered forever." German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said Dahlmeier was an "ambassador for our country around the world and a role model for peaceful, joyful and fair coexistence across borders". Dahlmeier, an experienced mountaineer, represented Germany at two Winter Olympics, winning two golds and one bronze medal in Pyeongchang in 2018. She was the first woman to win the sprint and pursuit events at the same Games and won a further 15 medals, including seven gold, across five World Championships before retiring from competition in May 2019.

Bayern Munich officially announces the signing of Luis Diaz.
Getty Images Although there was a lot of tug of war from Barcelona to acquire the player's services, it appears that the Spanish team has completely settled for signing Marcus Rashford, on loan from Manchester United, who will undoubtedly be the player who will occupy the left wing position. The deal for Nico Williams also fell through before the signing of Marcus Rashford, and now one of the Spanish club's targets, Colombian Luis Diaz, has officially become a Bayern Munich player on a four-year contract until 2029. How much did Bayern Munich pay for the Colombian? According to reliable press reports, most notably from Diario AS, Bayern Munich has spent the full amount of 70 million euros to acquire the services of the talented Colombian player from the English giants. Barcelona had submitted an official offer of no more than 60 million euros, which was rejected by Liverpool. Now, the Colombian will receive 17 million euros annually with Bayern Munich, which is three times his previous salary with Liverpool. "I'm very happy. It means a lot to me to be part of Bayern Munich – it's one of the biggest clubs in the world. I want to help my new team with my style of play and my personality. My goal is to win every possible title, and that's what we will work towards every day as a team" said the Colombian.

Report – Inter Milan Open To Greenlighting Germany Defender Transfer To Crystal Palace For €40M
Serie A giants Inter Milan reportedly plan to let Yann Bisseck join Crystal Palace in a €40 million deal this summer. According to Sky Sport via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri are open to negotiating the German's exit. Yann Bisseck has found himself on the chopping block after Simone Inzaghi's departure. Indeed, new boss Cristian Chivu wants to revamp his defensive options ahead of the new season. Therefore, Inter have set their sights on Genoa's Koni De Winter and Parma's Giovanni Leoni. Inter Milan Open to Selling Yann Bisseck to Crystal Palace LEVERKUSEN, GERMANY – DECEMBER 10: Yann Aurel Bisseck of FC Internazionale looks on during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 League Phase MD6 match between Bayer 04 Leverkusen and FC Internazionale Milano at BayArena on December 10, 2024 in Leverkusen, Germany. (Photo by) However, before pursuing more incoming deals, Inter must raise funds from player sales. Bisseck is on the market, largely thanks to his significant value. Indeed, the Eagers are ready to table a significant €32 million bid for the 24-year-old. Yet, Inter would like to earn more. Particularly, they would sanction Bisseck's exit for a fee in the region of €40 million. Bisseck's departure would hand the Nerazzurri much-needed funds and enable them to pursue De Winter or Leoni. It's now up to Palace to decide whether they want to spend that much.
