Loic Meillard wins slalom to cap dominant World Alpine Skiing Championships for Swiss men
Loïc Meillard won slalom gold, his third medal in five days, to lift the Swiss to the record for most medals in men's events in World Alpine Skiing Championships history.
Meillard prevailed by 26 hundredths of a second over Norwegian Atle Lie McGrath combining times from two runs in Saalbach, Austria. German Linus Strasser earned bronze.
Clément Noël, the Olympic gold medalist from France, led after the first run. He skied out in the closing gates of the second run having trailed Meillard by 16 hundredths at the last intermediate time check.
The Swiss men finished worlds with four gold medals in five events and nine medals overall, breaking the record of eight medals for a men's team at worlds shared by the French men in 1966 and the Austrian men in 1962.

Riley Gaines, husband Louis Barker announce pregnancy: ‘God is SO good all the time'
Twelve-time NCAA All-American swimmer Riley Gaines and husband Louis Barker are expecting their first child together. Gaines confirmed the news to Fox News Digital Saturday, adding the couple will welcome a baby girl in September. 'Surprise! we're 26 weeks pregnant,' she said in a post on Instagram. 'God is SO good all the time.' The host of OutKick's 'Gaines for Girls' podcast married Barker in 2022, and they celebrated their three-year wedding anniversary May 22. Gaines has been a staunch advocate for female athletes during the debate about transgender athletes participating in girls and women's sports. She most recently sparred with seven-time Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles over a Minnesota softball team that won a state championship behind the performance of a trans player. In response to Gaines' criticism of a social media post praising the championship team, Biles posted a message calling Gaines 'truly sick' for her stance on trans athletes. She even launched a personal attack on Gaines' physical appearance. 'You're truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up sore loser,' Biles said, referencing Gaines competing against former UPenn swimmer Lia Thomas at the 2022 NCAA championships. 4 Riley Gaines and husband Louis Barker are expecting their first child together. @rileygbarker / Instagram 4 The couple celebrated their three-year wedding anniversary on May 22. @rileygbarker / Instagram 'You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive OR creating a new avenue where trans feel safe in sports. Maybe a transgender category IN ALL sports!! But instead… You bully them… One things for sure is no one in sports is safe with you around!!!!!' The post went viral on social media, with Biles adding in another post, 'bully someone your own size, which would ironically be a male.' Gaines addressed the body-shaming remark during a speech at Turning Point USA's Young Women's Leadership Summit in Texas on Saturday, where she first announced her pregnancy. 4 The couple attended CMA Fest in Nashville last week. @rileygbarker / Instagram 4 Gaines joined President Trump onstage during the 2022 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Dallas. Yuki Iwamura for NYPost 'How many men do you know that have this,' Gaines said as she showed her bump and shared sonograms on stage. Barker also joined Gaines on stage to speak about the exciting news of the new edition to their family. 'The next generation that our little girl is going to be a part of, that is who you all are fighting for and who Turning Point is fighting for. And so from a father-to-be, thank you, keep fighting… and thank you,' he said. Biles later issued an apology to Gaines and said she was 'not advocating for policies that compromise fairness in women's sports.' Gaines responded by accepting the apology and inviting the Olympian to join the effort 'to support fair sports and a future for female athletes.'

USC women finish second to Georgia at NCAA outdoor track and field championships
EUGENE, Ore. — Buoyed by top performances in the hammer throw, high jump and 400 meters, the Georgia women's track and field squad distanced itself from the opposition and cruised to its first outdoor national championship in team history. Georgia lapped the field with 73 points ahead of runners-up USC (47) and third place Texas A&M (43). Fourth-year Bulldogs coach Caryl Smith Gilbert also won national titles at USC in 2018 and 2021. Olympic gold medalist Aaliyah Butler and Dejanea Oakley took the first two spots in the 400 meters with Butler posting a 49.26 and Oakley a 49.65. Butler's time was the fifth best all-time for a collegian and Oakley was eighth. The Bulldogs expanded their lead when Elena Kulichenko won the high jump for the second straight year after tying for the title last year. The Odessa, Russia, native won with a jump of 6 feet, 5 inches. Michelle Smith, a freshman, finished third in the 400 meter hurdles at 55.20 to clinch the team title. Skylynn Townsend took sixth in the triple jump at 44-4¼. Georgia ended the night by finishing first in the 4x400-meter relay with Butler taking the lead in the final leg with a winning time of 3:23.62. The Bulldogs entered Saturday competition in the lead with 26 points after Stephanie Ratcliffe won the hammer throw on Thursday with a nation-leading distance of 234 feet, 2 inches. Washington and USC shared the lead earlier Saturday night after Washington's Sophie O'Sullivan won the 1,500 meters and USC's Samirah Moody won the 100, but Georgia got 18 points from Butler and Oakley and never looked back. USC also won the 4x100-meter relay at 42.22. Georgia also got points in the javelin with a second-place finish from freshman Manuela Rotundo and a fourth-place finish from Lianna Davidson. Senior Keslie Murrell-Ross finished sixth in the shot put.
