Looking back to the 2014 Sochi Olympics to project what might happen in South Korea is somewhat misleading. Switzerland claimed bronze in 2014 thanks in large part to the excellence of goaltender Florence Schelling. In addition to being named the tournament’s best goaltender, Schelling also earned MVP honors. She carried her team and made 28 saves against Sweden in the bronze medal game. THE OLYMPIAN: Jordan Greenway breaks 98-year USA Hockey color barrier...

Since House no longer works at Sony, it’s possible that his predictions about the PlayStation 5 are way off base. However, 27 years of experience at the company could mean that he has a general idea of what to expect from the PlayStation 5 when it is eventually announced and released. One feature House thinks the PS5 will have is the ability to play discs, despite the ongoing push for digital-only media....

He took one giant step Friday. Power turned his fastest lap on his final qualifying run, edging rookie Robert Wickens to capture the IndyCar Grand Prix pole for the third time in four years. He completed the 2.439-mile, 14-turn course in 1 minute, 9.8182 seconds. “It’s definitely satisfying when you get a pole like this because you’ve got to work so hard for it these days,” the Australian said. “I like to give the young blokes a hard time when I can....

Even before Simpsons trial began, racial polarization was evident. Whites and blacks started out roughly 40 percentage points apart in their estimation of his guilt. Succeeding months, and a parade of witnesses, experts and evidence, have not closed the gap. It would be nice to believe that jurors could nonetheless rise to their assigned task and weigh evidence without prejudice toward either side. Indeed, the U.S. judicial system is rooted in the assumption that something almost magical happens in the jury room; that ordinary people, once charged with rendering justice, not only suspend judgment but also resist the polarization that defines so much of the outside world....

Being able to more easily catch Darumaka, which evolves into one of the best Fire-type creatures in the game, is an attraction in itself. However, players may want to up the ante and try to obtain something a bit more unique: its shiny variant. With the concept of shiny Pokemon remaining consistent throughout every aspect of the franchise, it shouldn’t be surprising that some of these altered color pallets appear in Pokemon GO....

And after speaking candidly about Pinkett Smith’s “entanglement” with Alsina during a break in their marriage, Smith, 53, shared further details about their relationship, admitting the actress isn’t the only one who has indulged in affection outside of their union....

When it comes to post-launch content and feedback, Insomniac has been anything but silent. Having only released Spider-Man in early September, Insomniac has already rolled out two segments of its three-part DLC expansion, The City That Never Sleeps. With the final part, Silver Lining, releasing in a week, Insomniac Games has been extremely active when it comes to its DLC plans. However, many dissatisfied fans have vocalized that they want Sam Raimi’s suit to be added to Spider-Man....

On top of this, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War featured a well-received campaign full of new and old characters. Its unique status as a prequel and a sequel allowed it to work its way into the established timeline nicely, and many praised the more unique missions and features of the story mode. However, despite so much going for it, the likelihood of a proper Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War 2 is low — with something else done within the Black Ops universe instead....

When Congress unanimously passed the CARES Act in March, states were entering lockdown. With people suddenly out of work, legislators wanted to get money to people quickly. Two months later, as Congress considers a fourth stimulus package, states have started to reopen. Meanwhile, legislators–citing the changing dynamics of the situation and a need to see the impact of actions already taken–aren’t certain economic impact payments are the best tool....

Despite his frustration in the middle of the game, Brady allowed himself to engage in some pomp and circumstance after it was over. He tipped his cap to the crowd and kissed his parents on his way off the field, piling onto the already-sizable heap of questions about his future. IYER: Five reasons for the Bucs’ playoff fail vs. the Cowboys Brady has been linked to multiple teams after this year, including the Raiders, and after his brief retirement tryst last year whether he’ll return at all will be a perennial question....

They have a goal difference of -3 with a majority of their goals coming against UD Melila, a team playing the the ‘Segunda Division B’. A team with such a star-studded line-up has been struggling to even get to the top four. That doesn’t sound like the condition of a team who’ve won the Champions League for three straight years. A currently manager-less Real Madrid are struggling to find their form as continuous lapses in defense and lack of goals have constantly been costing them....

At tea in Auckland, the New Zealand captain was not out on 100 with Henry Nicholls on 36 for a lead of 139 runs, after England crumbled to be all out for 58 on day one. New Zealand resumed on Friday at 175 for three with Williamson and Nicholls calmly adding 22 runs in 40 minutes, enough time for the skipper to reach his historic hundred, before rain drove the players from the field....

The Selecao became the first team, other than the hosts, to secure passage to the tournament in Russia next year, thanks to a 3-0 win over Paraguay and Uruguay’s 2-1 loss to Peru. Five-time world champions Brazil triumphed in Japan and Korea in 2002, but bowed out in the quarter-finals at each of the subsequent two editions of the competition. They reached the semi-finals on home soil in 2014, only to suffer a humiliating 7-1 loss to eventual winners Germany....

In the past, three of the four Grand Slams were played on grass. But with the Australian Open shifting to hard courts in 1988, Wimbledon remained the only one left with the traditional surface. Since then, it has become the central point of a very small window of the grass court swing. The Wimbledon Championships is still arguably the biggest tennis tournament in the world, attracting the highest traction when it comes to spectators as well as the players themselves....

After capturing the world of tennis’ attention with a shocking defeat of five-time Wimbledon champion Venus Williams in Round 1, Gauff comfortably saw off Magdalena Rybarikova before claiming a spot in the last 16 with a wonderful comeback win over Polona Hercog. But the 15-year-old could not match former world No. 1 Halep on No.1 Court on Monday, as the 2018 French Open champion eased into the quarterfinals. Gauff looked set to test Halep when she broke back in the second game, but the Romanian moved in front again in the fifth game before winning against serve to seal the first set....
