Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni didn’t hold back Sunday in condemning anti-Olympics protests, acts of vandalism and an alleged act of sabotage against train infrastructure. Italy’s transport ministry confirmed it has launched a terrorism investigation into the railway sabotage in northern Italy, in which Meloni said railway cables were cut to prevent trains from operating. Footage shared widely on social media showed police arriving and a brief confrontation breaking out with dozens of protesters. Using footage of the clashes, Meloni wrote on Facebook that the protestors were “ensuring that these images are broadcast on television screens around the world. Meanwhile, the division of ICE responsible for driving immigration enforcement inside the United States — known as Enforcement and Removal Operations — does not appear to have personnel in Italy.

DOBBIACO, Italy — Lindsey Vonn had surgery to repair a fractured leg after her fall Sunday in the women’s downhill race at the Winter Olympics, according to multiple reports. The national governing body said in a statement earlier Sunday that Vonn was injured but in stable condition. Just five days before, Vonn announced that she had a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in her left knee following a crash in a World Cup race on Jan. 30 in Crans-Montana, Switzerland. That didn’t stop her from attempting to race the downhill, but seconds after she started, she ran into trouble. The Olympia delle Tofane slope in Cortina is one of her favorites — she’s won there a record 12 times on the World Cup circuit.

See How Breezy Johnson Won Downhill Gold by 0.04 SecondsIn less time than it takes to blink, Breezy Johnson eked out the United States’ first gold medal of these Winter Games with a blistering run down the Cortina d’Ampezzo women’s downhill.

There are a lot of positions and among all of the jargon, it can be hard to know what player does what. Football positions are split into three groups: offense, defense and special teams. While they each work together toward the same goal, their roles couldn’t be more different. Even within the groups, you’d be surprised at how two positions serve completely opposite purposes. They’re not trying to get the ball at all, yet they’re considered offense.

Si Victor Wembanyama a été moins en verve qu'à son habitude lors de la victoire des Spurs contre Dallas (138-125), des Français ont brillé la nuit dernière en NBA. À commencer par Moussa Diabaté, qui a pris part à la 9e victoire consécutive de Charlotte, lors de son déplacement à Atlanta (126-119). Échaudé par une altercation avec Onyeka Okongwu en première période, l'ailier des Hornets a signé un double-double avec 11 points et 15 rebonds, et a surtout été décisif au début du money-time avec six points d'affilée qui ont fait mal aux Hawks.

The NFL sees Bad Bunny as the future. And not just because Bad Bunny won Album of the Year, among other honors, at the Grammy Awards last weekend. Last year, Bad Bunny said he excluded non-Puerto Rican U.S. cities from his megatour because Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers might conduct operations at his shows. Bad Bunny was already the biggest possible star, and then he emerged on the more popular side of the country’s most intense political issue. 🤦Most-read on the website yesterday: What Dianna Russini’s hearing at the Super Bowl about Maxx Crosby, Bill Belichick, Travis Kelce and more.

As millions across Europe watched Lindsey Vonn crash on an Olympic ski slope, most of America slept. And then, 14 seconds later, they saw her go horizontal and crumble, enveloped by a cloud of powdery snow. As a result, neither ESPN, Yahoo Sports, USA Today, CNN nor others had video of Vonn’s crash in their stories or their apps. It shows Vonn, in bib No 13, clapping her skis and puffing her cheeks as coaches exhort her. The network never replayed Vonn’s crash.

Enfin la fin de la traversée du désert pour Thomas Lemar ? Le milieu offensif de 30 ans a retrouvé le chemin des filets ce dimanche, avec Gérone sur la pelouse du Séville FC (1-1), lors de la 23e journée de Liga, près de trois ans après son dernier but lors d'un match officiel. Dès la 2e minute, le champion du monde 2018 (27 capes, 4 buts) a hérité du ballon sur le côté gauche de la surface, et décoché un tir gagnant du droit, venu se loger au premier poteau.
