South Korea is hosting the 2018 Winter Olympics, which means that their national men’s ice hockey team will take part in the tournament. It also means that with Canada, the Czech Republic and Switzerland in their group, they’re probably going to give up 100 goals – 90 of them to Canada. The unfortunate fact is that South Korea is in its infancy as a hockey nation. As of 2014, there…

At just about every NASCAR race, there are close calls between race cars and inattentive fans. Rarely, however, do they come in contact with each other. But on Sunday at Bristol Motor Speedway, Erin Vandyke was the exception to the rule. Vandyke was standing in an area off limits to race fans when Kyle Busch brought his severely damaged No. 18 Toyota off the track into the garage…

The death of a Lexington cardiologist in a bicycle crash Sunday rocked the city’s tight-knit cycling community and renewed interest in a recently defeated bike safety law.

Djokovic beat a glittering array of other nominees, including Lewis Hamilton and Usain Bolt, to the title. As he made his way up to the stage to receive his trophy, he made a point of embracing his coach, Boris Becker, who had earlier in the day insisted that any suggestion of his player being involved in doping was “disrespectful”. And Djokovic himself pointed out that his overwhelming domination of his…

Carl Edwards might have had plenty of reason to worry as the tires continued to go flat on the cars of his Joe Gibbs Racing teammates during Sunday’s Food City 500 NASCAR race at Bristol Motor Speedway. First there was JGR’s Kyle Busch, winner of two straight races, who went out of the race after he hit the wall for a third time, thanks to a third flat tire. Then…

Among the spandex-clad cyclists raised in the app generation, there’s no smartphone notification as foreboding as one from Strava. The fitness tracking service bestows a virtual crown to the fastest riders completing specific routes — and it alerts them whenever someone has bested their times. For cyclists in Los Angeles, someone using the name Thorfinn Sassquatch has been a leading peddler of anguish. Sassquatch holds more than 800 kingships, records…
