Kate Douglass, Lilly King go 1-2 in King's last race in a U.S. pool at swimming nationals
In a passing of the torch, Olympic 200m breaststroke champion Kate Douglass overtook Lilly King, the 100m breast world record holder, in the 100m event in King's final career domestic race at the Toyota U.S. Championships on Friday. Douglass edged King by 23 hundredths of a second at the IU Natatorium in Indianapolis, a pool that the Evansville native King has been racing in since she was 10 years old. Both Douglass and King made the team for the World Championships in July and August in Singapore, which will be King's last major international meet. King has won a medal at a major international meet every year (save 2020) since her breakout 2016, when she won Olympic 100m breast gold after her freshman season at Indiana University. SWIMMING: Broadcast Schedule | Results Also Friday, Katie Ledecky added a 400m free title to her 800m free crown from Tuesday. She hasn't lost to an American in a 400m free since placing third at the 2012 Olympic Trials at age 15. Rising Stanford junior Rex Maurer won the men's 400m free in 3:43.33 — the fastest time ever in a U.S. pool — to become the third-fastest American in history. Maurer's mom, Lea, won relay gold and 100m backstroke bronze at the 1992 Barcelona Games. Luka Mijatovic, 16, finished second, which will likely be enough to make the world championships team once the meet ends Saturday. Mijatovic would be the youngest U.S. man to swim at worlds since Michael Phelps in 2001. World record holder Regan Smith won the 100m backstroke after placing second in the 50m and 200m distances. She can swim all three backstrokes, plus the 200m butterfly, at worlds. Campbell McKean, 18, took the men's 100m breast by lowering his personal best from 1:00.40 to 58.96 on Friday, one year after placing 21st at the Olympic Trials. On Thursday, McKean won the 50m breast by lowering his personal best from 27.40 to 26.90 between prelims and the final. The Toyota U.S. Championships end Saturday with finals at 7 p.m. ET, live on Peacock. Nick Zaccardi,

Shaquille O'Neal insists 'Inside the NBA' won't change at ESPN: 'Chuck's not changing, I'm not changing'
Shaquille O'Neal, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson are going to have a new home next season when "Inside the NBA" makes the transition to ESPN. So far, it's looking like the show will be very similar to the one beloved by fans. During an appearance on "The Rich Eisen Show" on Friday, O'Neal insisted that neither he nor Barkley will ever change, while praising the professionalism of Johnson and Smith. He also hinted at having a situation similar to "The Pat McAfee Show" which is also syndicated by ESPN from a different company. Advertisement O'Neal's response: "I don't have any concerns because I know one guy that you're never going to change, and I know another guy that's really close to him. The other two guys — listen, Ernie is a consummate professional and he can adapt to any situation. Ernie is the guy that really keeps us out of trouble and Kenny is professional, but Chuck is right there on the line and I'm right below Chuck. Chuck's not changing, I'm not changing. "I actually saw something yesterday where it said ESPN is going to give us the same no-look that they give Pat McAfee. So, listen, we're just going to go have fun, do what we do and talk about the game that we love and just try to make people laugh." Eisen noted that his own show is in a similar situation, with a return to ESPN coming this fall. The "Inside the NBA" crew recently wrapped its lengthy run on TNT, where it had become an iconic part of the NBA media ecosystem. When TNT's parent company of Warner Bros. Discovery lost its NBA rights, the future of the show was in question until the network cut a deal with ESPN. It's going to be the same "Inside the NBA" on a different network. (Photo by Andrew Burke-Stevenson/The Boston Globe via Getty Images) (Boston Globe via Getty Images) TNT will continue to independently produce the show while airing it on ESPN, which reportedly plans to give the show its usual timeframe. Barkley has made perfectly clear he has no plans to change to fit in better at ESPN given how much he has blasted some of his future co-workers in recent months. Barkley has also said he plans to retire after two more seasons, though he's walked back retirement plans before.

UFC Coach Hints at Major Comeback for Francis Ngannou
UFC Coach Hints at Major Comeback for Francis Ngannou originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Former UFC Heavyweight Champion and current PFL Super Fights Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou left the world's most elite mixed martial arts (MMA) organization on bad terms, however he might be open to a return. Advertisement He won the UFC title in 2021 against Stipe Miocic by knocking him out in the second round, marking the pinnacle in his life journey from homelessness to heavyweight king. Ngannou's reign included a successful title defense over Ciryl Gane, where he showcased his grappling to win. It was later revealed that Ngannou fought Gane with a Grade 3 MCL tear and ACL damage, making the win even more impressive. About a year later, he was stripped of the title after failing to reach an agreement on a new contract. Ngannou advocated for financial freedom and respect but left the promotion for the PFL. Since leaving the UFC, he's lost boxing matches to Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. Ngannou returned to MMA last October and defeated Renan Ferreira via ground and pound. Now, he's assessing all of his options, but staying busy in the gym. Advertisement 'He's training, he looks happy to be back in the gym with the team,' MMA coach Eric Nicksick said. 'He's been asking for that Wilder fight, and if that happens, great, but right now the heavyweight division is kind of in shambles. There's no real direction, and that creates an opportunity.' Ngannou left the UFC to chase prize fights and generational wealth, which he acquired. According to Nicksick, he is open to negotiations to return. 'I think this is more about business than it is about ego. At least it is from Francis's side. He just wants to be treated like an independent contractor, paid fairly and given the freedom to pursue other opportunities. And he did that. He went out, boxed, made a lot of money, and proved himself,' Nicksick added. Advertisement 'Where does his motivation come from now? It's not about money anymore. It's about competition. And the best competition is in the UFC.' The current state of the UFC's heavyweight division with undisputed champion Jon Jones and interim champion Tom Aspinall is unknown. Jones is thinking of retirement, while Aspinall just wants a shot at being undisputed. Could Ngannou be the answer the UFC needs? 'Dana's a smart businessman,' Nicksick said. 'I think he's level-headed enough to say: the past is the past. Let's explore the future. Look at the heavyweight division right now, what are we doing? Tom Aspinall is holding an interim belt for nearly 600 days. It's time to get things moving.' This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 6, 2025, where it first appeared.
