Norway's Frostad claims men's big air gold in thrilling competition
Norway's Tormod Frostad beat the top favourites and claimed freestyle skiing men's big air gold at the Milan/Cortina Winter Games on Tuesday.
The 23-year-old was leading after the first two runs with scores of 95.25 and 97.00.
In the third and final run, United States' Mac Forehand took the lead with a monstrous score of 98.25 points, meaning Frostad needed to at least beat his first-run score.
And that was exactly what he did - registering the biggest individual score of the competition with 98.50 points to take the first title of his career with a total of 195.50 points.
"The last run, I'm already super happy with my own run, and I'm still a bit shocked. I did it for fun, and it worked out just fine, and I'm very happy," the Norwegian said.
"I can't wait to watch it back and see how it all looked, because it's impossible to tell when you're doing it. I'm beyond happy to land three runs, and that it took me to the top spot."
Ahead of the Winter Games, Frostad had only one World Cup win to his name.
Twice X Games winner Forehand had to settle for silver, while bronze went to Austria's Matej Svancer.
"I've never been in that position with two 95s before. I usually always mess up on my first or second jump and have to play it safe in my last two, but I landed the first two perfectly," Forehand said.
"I knew I had to one-up one of the tricks and I deliberated with my coaches for like five minutes at the top about what I should do. We talked about that trick (a nose butter triple cork 2160) for a while, and I just had to finally ski away and be OK and be alive."
The start of the competition was delayed by 15 minutes due to heavy snowfall. The weather conditions in Livigno have forced several changes to the freestyle skiing and snowboarding schedules.
Hyeseong Kim Crushes Homer off Yamamoto in Spring Training Bullpen
Hyeseong Kim made clear he wants to get the start at second base with Tommy Edman still recovering from surgery.
If he keeps crushing home runs off of the reigning World Series MVP, he won’t have a hard time making his case.
On Tuesday morning, Kim faced Yoshinobu Yamamoto and smashed an opposite field home run.
The homer drew oohs from the crowd in attendance, followed by a round of applause.
Kim’s Prospects of Getting the Second Base Job
Kim came into spring training with the goal of winning the second-base job in Edman’s absence.
“Yeah of course,” Kim said. “As a baseball player it’s something I’ve always dreamed of. To start on an Opening Day roster at second base. That’s why I worked hard in the offseason for it and hopefully the results show.”
He’s not alone in wanting that spot, however.
Manager Dave Roberts said Kim is “in the mix,” but so too are Miguel Rojas, Alex Freeland and the recently signed Santiago Espinal.
Rojas and Espinal bring years of MLB experience to the table, while Kim and Freeland are both beginning their second seasons in the majors.
Kim, Rojas and Freeland all saw time at second base for the Dodgers in 2025.
How Long Will the Second Base Job Be up for Grabs?
Edman is set to miss Opening Day for sure, though how much longer he remains out is yet to be seen.
Thus far, Edman has taken some swings on both sides of the plate and done some jogging and skipping as well, Roberts said.
“It takes a while to get your body into baseball shape, so we’re not going to rush it. We want to put him in the best position,” he said.
Edman also said he’s taking things slowly, noting that the true test of his recovery will be when he tries to suddenly accelerate or change directions at high speed, as he would as a baserunner.
Thus far, though, there haven’t been any setbacks, he said.
“That’s gonna be the main thing, just making sure that I keep on progressing and don’t have any issues bouncing back the way I do it,” he said.
Ukrainsk fotballtopp donerte millionsum til disket skeletonutøver
Vladyslav Heraskevytsj har fått en pengegave på rett under to millioner kroner etter dramaet som til slutt fikk ham diskvalifisert i OL.
Donasjonen kommer fra eieren av fotballklubben Sjakhtar Donetsk, Rinat Akhmetov.
– Vlad Heraskevytsj ble nektet muligheten til å kjempe om gull i OL, men han returnerte likevel til Ukraina som en vinner, sier Akhmetov i en uttalelse.
Gaven på 200.000 dollar, tilsvarende 1,9 millioner kroner, er like mye som ukrainske utøvere får om de vinner gull i vinterlekene.
Heraskevytsj insisterte på å bruke en hjelm der døde ukrainske idrettshelter var avbildet under skeletonkonkurransen i OL.
Den internasjonale olympiske komité (IOC) anså det som et regelbrudd, og etter at president Kirsty Coventry selv var i et møte med Heraskevytsj for å få ham til å snu, ble det klart at Heraskevytsj ikke fikk delta i OL.
I etterkant har både Heraskevytsj og Ukrainas president Volodymyr Zelenskyj kritisert IOC hardt. Senest tirsdag blåste Heraskevytsj hardt ut mot IOC og mente komiteen «tilrettelegger for russisk propaganda».
«Hver uke vender stadig flere russiske idrettsutøvere tilbake til internasjonale arenaer, mens ukrainere fortsetter å gjennomleve en humanitær katastrofe forårsaket av russiske angrep», skrev han i en melding.
