After earlier declining to join a game of football, telling one of the coaches he was not wearing boots, the Prince happily joined in the handball game. When he was thrown the ball by a coach, he held it aloft and the young players, all aged six to eight, put their arms up in anticipation. Harry picked one lucky girl to receive the pass and start the game, and she…

Chinese sportswear maker Li Ning Company (2331.HK) has sprinted ahead of rivals Anta Sports Products (2020.HK) and Xtep International (1368.HK) with its 28% year-to-date return. Still, analysts at Jefferies think Li Ning’s stock could have another 15% or so upside in its locker. The broker just upgraded the shares from Hold to Buy, with a bumped up price target of HKD7.2. Jefferies says it expects the company’s earnings to recover…

Prince Harry turned into a suburban dad struggling to get a bunch of hyper kids to listen to him — but at least it was just for a day … and for charity. Harry was coaching a handball match for toddlers at an East London charity event. Most of the kids didn’t seem to pay much attention to the Prince — in other words … he’s ready to coach youth soccer…

Tara Reid definitely turned a few heads when she hit the red carpet on Thursday night. The Sharknado star appeared to be braless in a see-through chainmail mini-dress that she paired with sky-high nude stilettos. The style was so see-through that her underwear was visible, but Reid seemed quite confident in the risque ensemble.

There was a time when an England cricket team winning the Women’s World Cup was an “And finally …” item, the sort of thing the news presenter announced with an ironic smile. Not so last week, when Heather Knight’s cricketers pulled off a dramatic turnaround against India. Expect even more excitement if the football team pull off a similar coup in Euro 2017. These days, women’s sport makes headlines. What…

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) As the victorious American players bounced so hard the podium shook, medals round their necks, a beaming Bruce Arena in the back raised his arms to the air right along with them as gold confetti began to fall.

Following sports is crazy now. Every single sport (I’m looking at you, table tennis) is generating news year round. The NBA Draft and free agency period have turned the post-Finals summer into a barnstorm of headlines (Dennis Smith Jr. for ROY!!) and Woj bombs. Even baseball has summer energy thanks to Aaron Judge. But what about the Wolfpack? As much as I try to tell myself that I can just…

“The fact that we are about to have an honours’ board there to recognise them – well, it’s about time,” said Crouch.  “I was at Lord’s on Sunday and it was an incredibly tense match. I think it is good news for cricket, never mind women’s cricket. Clearly these women will go on and inspire, I hope, girls to get involved and there may well have been many there on…

Forgive me if the following comes across as naively euphoric. But we’ll only know it’s a truly watershed summer for women’s sport if we get through it without being overwhelmed by commentary on what men’s football could learn from it all. They’re poorer but they’re a million times more dignified! They’re less watched but their crowds don’t have any hooligans in them! They may not have supercars but they have…

Novak Djokovic will sit out the rest of this season because of an injured right elbow, meaning he will miss the U.S. Open and end his streak of participating in 51 consecutive Grand Slam tournaments. ”It is the most important for me to recover, to be able to play injury free for as long as possible, to compete in the sport that has given me so much, the sport I…
