USATF Issues Lifetime Bans to 2 Coaches

The New Year countdown is on, but some difficult decisions have come first. USATF has handed down permanent ineligibility rulings to two coaches, one of whom passed away last month. Meanwhile, search for a most-wanted former Olympian is still on. More on the updates below!

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

AROUND THE RINGS

TODAY’S POLL

As you read above, Simone Biles stepped into the role of a photographer at the recent Bears vs. 49ers game. The 11-time Olympic medalist seems to be enjoying her time away from the gym, exploring things she once didn’t have time for, as she recently confessed. But as fans, tell us,

US Ski legend Mikaela Shiffrin did it again!

She claimed her 106th World Cup win in brutal conditions, amid which nearly one third of the field ended up with DNFs. Night race brought low visibility, and despite organizers injecting water and salt to harden the course, holes still formed on the surface. But even with all that, Shiffrin stayed composed and brought this one home. Watch her tough run above!
