Two weeks after making the surprise announcement of his marriage, Major League Baseball star Shohei Ohtani has revealed his new wife’s identity – and she’s also a top athlete. Ohtani, 29, on Thursday posted a photo on Instagram of the couple standing shoulder-to-shoulder beside the Los Angeles Dodgers’ team plane as they traveled to South Korea. Tanaka, 27, also played for Japan at U16, U17 and U18 levels, according to her profile on international governing body FIBA’s website. Ohtani, who is known for his two-way abilities on the field, is a hugely popular figure in his native Japan. That announcement stunned fans – and Ohtani and topics related to his marriage quickly became Japan’s top five trending topics on social platform X.

USA Basketball is back atop the FIBA men’s world rankings, even after failing to medal at the World Cup. “The world is good at basketball,” U.S. point guard Jalen Brunson of the New York Knicks said as the World Cup was winding down. The biggest climber in the rankings after the World Cup was South Sudan, which was No. “We made a statement," Cape Verde’s Will Tavares, a Rhode Island-born forward, said after the World Cup win. "Even though we’re the smallest country, we have so much heart.”There are 159 men's teams in the FIBA rankings.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — There will be no gold medal for the U.S. at this World Cup. Germany — the last unbeaten team left in the tournament at 7-0 — will play Serbia on Sunday (8:40 a.m. EDT) for the World Cup title. Serbia beat Canada in the first semifinal, getting to its second World Cup final in the last three tournaments; it lost 129-92 to the U.S. in the 2014 championship game. Germany had been 0-6 against the Americans in World Cup or Olympic competition, usually getting blown out in those games. Once again, even bringing the only roster filled with all NBA players wasn’t enough for the U.S. at the World Cup.
