Stunning college volleyball star Ally Batenhorst announces dramatic career move
US Olympic hopeful Ally Batenhorst has revealed that she has is now a Nike athlete after swapping professional volleyball for a shot at Olympic glory. It emerged last month that Batenhorst, who has spent her career playing indoor volleyball, was teaming up with reigning beach volleyball world champion Sara Hughes ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. The 23-year-old played college volleyball at both Nebraska and USC before joining the Omaha Supernovas of Major League Volleyball. Now, though, she is swapping the arena for the beach in search of a place at the 2028 Los Angeles Games. And on Wednesday, Batenhorst revealed that she has signed a deal with Nike. 'Incredibly honored to announce our long term partnership commitment with Nike,' she wrote on social media. 'Thank you for the amazing support…so pumped!!!' The 6-foot, 5-inch player posed in her new gear and earlier this week she opened up on her dramatic career change. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ally B (@allybatenhorst) 'I've been so busy with traveling and everything that I feel I haven't really sat down and talked about the fact that I completely switched sports,' she said on TikTok. 'Everything happened so fast but it's honestly been so much fun. 'I still get people asking me all the time: am I playing indoor still? It's official, I'm no longer playing indoor and I'm fully committed to beach (volleyball). The next couple of years I'm here and I absolutely love it. She continued: 'Sara is amazing and one of the best people I've ever met and it's just been so fun starting this new journey and new chapter in my life.' Hughes recently told NBC that she was struck the first time she saw Batenhorst on the court. 'I was like, "Wow,'' Hughes said. 'She has such athleticism. She looks like a true leader on the court. She's very passionate, and I thought all those would translate to the beach.' They both attended USC, which sits less than 25 miles from where the Olympic beach volleyball will take place in 2028. Batenhorst, who boasts nearly half a million followers across TikTok and Instagram, has described beach volleyball as a 'completely different sport' and one of the most visible changes is in the uniform. Female beach volleyball players typically wear bikinis, whereas Batenhorst has spent recent years playing in shorts and a jersey. 'You're not forced (to), but it is cute, and we like it,' she said of playing in a bathing suit.

The broadcaster will be showing Britain's biggest professional cycling race on September 2. 3 3 3 The Lloyds Tour of Britain Men will have all six stages shown on ITV4 and ITVX until its conclusion on September 7. The coverage will be presented by sports writer and TV host Ned Boulting. The race will have some extra hype as it is Geraint Thomas ' last ever time on the competitive saddle. The Welsh cycling star won the Tour de France as well as the BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 2018. Thomas, 39, will be retiring after the race and is considered a legend of the sport. The Lloyds Tour of Britain Men was broadcast for the first time on ITV in 2008. However, it will be the last time for the foreseeable future that the race is shown on the channel. In 2026, ITV will be pulling out of covering it, which means it will only be available on paid-for channels. Coverage will then only be shown on TNT Sports channels and the online streaming service Discovery+. Last year it was announced that TNT would absorb all the cycling coverage that was shown on Eurosport. Eurosport is set to disappear from channel lists in February. Meanwhile, Thomas has spoken about his upcoming retirement He told the BBC: "It's been amazing. "Looking back, I never thought I'd be doing 14 Tours and to win it was just bonkers. I can look back with fond memories. "It was something I always dreamed of doing so to have just done it and be in Paris once is special you know. To do 14 is unreal really, one hell of a journey. "I'm not one to be too sentimental and look back or whatever, you're always sort of thinking of the next thing. "But I guess when it comes to the end there's nothing else to look forward to is there?"

Luke Humphries says form is ‘depressing' after struggling to win in New Zealand
World number one Luke Humphries has described his form as 'depressing' after making hard work of his opening round win at the New Zealand Darts Masters. Humphries beat Haupai Puha 6-4 but was not happy with his display in the World Series event in Auckland. The 30-year-old has been 'out of sorts' since winning the Premier League at the end of May, crashing out of the World Cup and the World Matchplay at the first hurdle. He averaged 89.47 against the world number 94 but was able to get through. 'I think the last two months it has been hard work,' Humphries admitted on ITV X. 'I am out of sorts, out of form, and struggling to find something. Since the Premier League final I have not been in the form I would have liked. 'It is depressing because I feel like something is there but it's not coming out. 'It's really tough to not perform at the level you can. I am finding myself not playing very well at the moment but I can bounce back. 'I don't think I have had one good game of darts in two months. Everyone knows that and everyone can see that. 'That doesn't stop me coming back tomorrow and being the world number one that everyone knows.' World number two Luke Littler is having no such problems as he made it 10 wins on the bounce. Littler, who won the Australian Masters last week, did not need to be at his absolute best to beat Mark Cleaver 6-4. He sets up a quarter-final tie with Mike De Decker, who beat Gordon Mathers 6-1, as he has eyes on a Down Under double. There were also wins for Stephen Bunting, Gerwyn Price and Josh Rock.
