☆ Formula 1 Cancels Grand Prix Amid Deadly Floods in Italy
  + stars: | 2023-05-17 | by ( Andrew Das | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
It is unclear if the canceled event can be rescheduled; Formula 1’s packed schedule has little flexibility given the time and trouble it takes to move it from country to country. If the race at Imola is not rescheduled, Formula 1 will have 22 races this year instead of the record 23 it had planned. The entire Emilia-Romagna region faces the threat of more rains, and more flooding, this week. “It is such a tragedy to see what has happened to Imola and Emilia-Romagna, the town and region that I grew up in,” said Stefano Domenicali, the chief executive of Formula 1. “My thoughts and prayers are with the victims of the flooding and the families and communities affected.”

Hiroko Masuike/The New York TimesThere are around 3,000 dogs at Westminster, and all of them are such good, good boys and girls. The 210 breed winners then advance to compete in the group finals. The seven group winners (four of which have already been decided) then vie for the big prize. Last year’s winner was Trumpet, a bloodhound.
☆ Formula 1 Rolls Into Miami
  + stars: | 2023-05-07 | by ( Andrew Das | Josh Katz | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Sergio Pérez’s victory last weekend in Baku, Azerbaijan, was his second of the Formula 1 season, and it allowed him to match the victory total of his Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen. The result allowed Pérez to close Verstappen’s lead in the drivers’ championship to a mere six points as the series arrived in the United States for Sunday’s Miami Grand Prix. Pérez starts Sunday with the advantage: He is on pole position, and knows a win will give him the lead in the points race. TV: The race will air on ABC in the United States, which is — DVR alert — a switch from its usual home on ESPN. A full list of Formula 1 broadcasters, wherever you are, can be found here.
☆ FIFA Threatens Women’s World Cup TV Blackout in Europe

Broadcasters also appear to be taking a cautious stance on assigning a value to Women’s World Cup rights that have never previously been on the market. This year is the first time FIFA has decoupled the women’s tournament from the men’s; previously, the women’s rights were bundled as an extra in the bidding for the men’s World Cup rights. He noted that while viewing figures for the women’s tournament are between 50 percent and 60 percent of those for the men’s World Cup, the amounts offered for the women’s games have been much lower than that: In Europe alone, he said, they were “20 to 100 times lower than for the men’s FIFA World Cup.”“Whereas broadcasters pay $100-200 million for the men’s FIFA World Cup,” Infantino said, “they offer only $1-10 million for the FIFA Women’s World Cup. This is a slap in the face of all the great FIFA Women’s World Cup players and indeed of all women worldwide.”There has been a substantial interest in women’s soccer in Britain, Europe’s biggest market, which peaked when England beat Germany to win the European championship on home soil last year. According to news media reports, the BBC and ITV — the two main British broadcasters — have offered about 9 million pounds ($11.2 million) for the World Cup rights, the highest among European broadcasters.
☆ Ferrari Looks Fast. Now It Needs to Finish.

Charles Leclerc has done the first part: After turning in the fastest lap in qualifying, he will start the Azerbaijan Grand Prix from pole position on Sunday. Now he has to do the part that has proved problematic for him this season: Finish the race. In three starts this year, Leclerc’s Ferrari has been running at the end only once. Qualifying ahead of them was heartening. How to WatchTime: The Azerbaijan Grand Prix on Sunday starts at 7 a.m. Eastern, which is 3 p.m. local time on the Baku City Circuit.
☆ Sifan Hassan Wins London Marathon in Stunning Comeback
  + stars: | 2023-04-23 | by ( Andrew Das | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Sifan Hassan, an Olympic track champion from the Netherlands running her first marathon, staged a stunning comeback on Sunday to win the London Marathon in one of the most dramatic and unexpected finishes in the race’s history. In winning, Hassan showed both her stunning range as a runner — she was a triple medalist in three shorter distances on the Tokyo Olympics track two years ago and holds the world record in the mile — but also her inexperience as a marathoner. An Ethiopian-born Dutch athlete better known for her middle-distance success, Hassan fell off the pace about an hour into the race after stopping to stretch her aching left hip, dropped behind the lead group at times and pushed it at others, and even offered drinks to her rivals as they ran. And Hassan, 30, did it all despite training for the race during Ramadan, a month of fasting that left her unable to complete long runs because she could not drink or eat during the day.
☆ Oakland Athletics Say They Will Move to Las Vegas by 2027
  + stars: | 2023-04-20 | by ( Benjamin Hoffman | Andrew Das | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
The Oakland Athletics have reached an agreement to acquire land near the Las Vegas Strip and said Wednesday that they hoped to be playing games in a new, billion-dollar retractable roof stadium on the site by 2027. The agreement on the 49-acre site in Nevada, which the team’s president, Dave Kaval, confirmed to The Las Vegas Review-Journal on Wednesday night, will seemingly end years of tense negotiations for a new stadium in the Bay Area, an investment the team said it needed to remain financially viable and competitive with its peers in Major League Baseball. “It’s obviously a very big milestone for us,” Kaval said of the potential move to Las Vegas, which would be the first relocation of a major league franchise in two decades. “We spent almost two years working in Las Vegas to try to determine a location that works for a long-term home. To identify a site and have a purchase agreement is a big step.”
☆ US sports writer says he was detained in Qatar for wearing rainbow shirt to World Cup game
  + stars: | 2022-11-22 | by ( Sinéad Baker | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
An American journalist said he was detained for wearing a rainbow t-shirt to a Qatar World Cup game. Grant Wahl said guards told him to remove it, took his phone, and detained him for 25 minutes. A New York Times spokesperson told Insider "Andrew Das was stopped briefly after photographing Grant Wahl's detention by World Cup security." Qatar's LGBT rights record has marred this year's World Cup, sparking renewed protests about the decision to let the country host it. Wahl is not the only journalist who has had difficulty in covering the World Cup there.
