Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic, Paralympic medal designs revealed
One side of the medal design has the two halves coming together to create the Olympic rings or the Paralympic Agitos. The other side has the Milan Cortina Games logo on one half and the name of the event on the other half, including Braille for the Paralympic medals.

The medal designs are two halves to celebrate "the power of differences ... to create a bold, unified statement." Milan Cortina organizers described the medals as "a gesture of perpetual motion and union":
"A dynamic graphic abstraction showing the union of two parts in constant motion, highlighted by the contrast between a granular texture and a mirrored surface. The design stays pure and simple — using only the essential lines to express the ideas of union and movement. The medal's energy comes from this division, representing ongoing change. These elements are brought together by the Olympic and Paralympic values, turning contrast into unity and motion into meaning."

Suni Lee: Social media took OG Anunoby relationship too far
It's not uncommon for NBA players to have connections with fans and celebrities who come to attend their games. However, Suni Lee and OG Anunoby took on a different meaning of that this past season. The six-time Olympic medalist, a self-proclaimed fan of basketball, was seen sitting courtside often under the Madison Square Garden lights to watch the Knicks go on their run to the Eastern Conference Finals — their first in 25 years. Advertisement Following several of those games, Lee would be seen talking to Anunoby, which led fans to spread relationship speculations like wild fire on social media. Lee, 22, put all the perceived notions to bed recently. 4 OG Anunoby #8 of the New York Knicks greets Suni Lee after the game against the Orlando Magic during the Emirates NBA Cup on December 3, 2024 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York. NBAE via Getty Images Advertisement 'Honestly, it just started off as a joke, and I feel like social media kind of just, like, took it further than that,' the the Team USA star told Mirror U.S. Sports. 'But yeah, we're just friends, and I'm really good friends with a bunch of the guys on the Knicks team, like [Karl-Anthony Towns], and then also I'm really close to [Towns' partner Jordyn Woods] as well, so it's cool to see them doing their thing. Honestly, I just enjoy watching basketball, which is why I went to most of the games.' 'There's nothing there,' she added. 'We're just friends. I fully support all of them, and I support the Knicks.' 4 Suni Lee hugs OG Anunoby #8 of the New York Knicks after the game against the Orlando Magic during the Emirates NBA Cup on December 3, 2024 at Madison Square Garden.

JASON SZENES/ NY POST Advertisement The Saint Paul, Minnesota native went to explain that she has been able to frequent Knicks games ever since she moved to New York around the same time as Towns' blockbuster trade to the Knicks last season headlined by Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo. She knew Towns while he spent nine years with the Timberwolves, who drafted him first overall in 2015. 'I met Jordyn and KAT when I was in Minnesota, and when they were in Minnesota as well,' Lee said. 'And then when I moved to New York, he got traded, so it was really nice to see some familiar faces in New York and just keep that friendship.' 4 Suni Lee hugs Karl-Anthony Towns #32 of the New York Knicks after the game against the Orlando Magic during the Emirates NBA Cup on December 3, 2024 at Madison Square Garden.

Kingfisher Team Breaks the Sports Bar Archetype in Durham
is an editor of Eater's South region, covering Atlanta, Nashville, Miami, New Orleans, and the Carolinas. She has been writing about the food scene in the Carolinas and Savannah for 12 years. Erin has resided in Charleston, South Carolina, for the past 20 years. The owners of underground cocktail bar Kingfisher and retro lounge Queeny's have another project on the way for downtown Durham, North Carolina. Restaurateurs Michelle Vanderwalker and Sean Umstead recently announced that they will open a 'community-driven sports bar for everyone,' named E.O. Athletic Club, this fall at 341 West Main Street. The focus of E.O. Athletic Club will be fostering community through sports. As with Vanderwalker and Umstead's other projects, everyone is encouraged to visit — NFL fans, WNBA fans, ultimate frisbee fans, Olympic curling fans, and even Tar Heel fans in the Duke-centric town. The owners plan to host watch parties, theme nights, and competition games. Basically, this will not be your average bro-centric sports bar. E.O. Athletic Club will serve Northeast-inspired pizzas, loaded baked potatoes, wings, sandwiches, salads, and other high-end bar fare. The establishment will be open for lunch, dinner, and late-night takeout. The bar is named for biologist E. O. Wilson, who is the subject of the PBS film E.O. Wilson – Of Ants and Men. 'The name came from a conversation Michelle and I had about a documentary on E.O. Wilson,' says Umstead, 'Which said that nothing shows human desire for belonging better than sports and sports fandom. We really want to embrace the community and togetherness that comes so naturally from sports.' E.O. Wilson will join the growing trend of modern sports bars leaning away from the archetype of macho sports bars with sticky floors. Spots like Jolene, Jolene in Atlanta, the Sports Bra in Portland, and Watch Me! In Long Beach, California, challenge the notion that watching athletes is only for football-obsessed dude bros.

Livvy Dunne opens up on painful ankle injury that ended Olympic dreams
Former LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne says that an ankle injury derailed her chances at competing for the United States at the Olympics. Dunne did compete for Team USA and made the junior national team, but when she was 16, she says an ankle injury called osteochondritis dissecans put those dreams on hold. Osteochondritis dissecans causes the bone underneath the cartilage of a joint to fail because of a lack of blood flow and can hinder joint motion. "I was actually competing on a hurt ankle at the 2018 USA Championships and, yeah, part of my ankle bone died. Dunne said on the podcast, "What's Your Story? With Stephanie McMahon." "Yeah, it just died. So, my Olympic dreams died with it," she said. "It kind of healed a little bit. It stopped bothering me. I went to college after that, but it was so painful. That was kind of my first real injuries. "I've actually never gotten any surgery, which is kind of crazy for a gymnast. And I was like, I think if I just give myself time to heal, I can heal without surgery. But that's something I take pride in. I have never needed surgery as a gymnast, which is very uncommon." After helping the Tigers win the school's first-ever gymnastics national championship in 2024, Dunne, now 22, was limited by injuries in her final collegiate season before announcing her retirement from the sport in April.
