From that moment, we saw a different Murray, who two weeks later stepped on the same court to start his crusade of attaining the first major feat of his career: an Olympic gold. The manner in which he did it surprised many, as he defeated Roger Federer, arguably the greatest player in tennis history, in straight sets. Federer said afterwards that Andy Murray had this coming since long. 0 votes

The anticipated bout will be broadcast live from the Singapore Indoor Stadium via Prime Video 2. In previous interviews, the Thai native revealed that he wanted to dabble in MMA.

The city of New York held a ceremony on Thursday to formally mark the ending of the “recovery” phase at the World Trade Center, and it was a damn good ceremony, filled with equal measures of sadness and pride, of closure and potential, of conviction and doubt. Mostly sadness, though. From the opening bell—-literally, the fire department’s “5-5-5-5” toll for fallen comrades—-this was an event about remorse. An empty stretcher symbolized the remains of the 1,700 dead who have yet to be formally identified....
Weapon balancing updates are nothing new to Destiny 2, and its most recent season, Season of the Splicer, brought some sweeping weapon changes to Destiny 2. At the time of those changes, Bungie said that there would likely be further tweaking to weapon balance in Destiny 2 as the developers figured out what roles they wanted the game’s various weapon types to fill, and the game’s newest patch sees some of those further changes....
A tweet from the “Trump War Room” account on Tuesday said the trial is the sort of thing that occurs in a “banana republics” and “third world dictatorships,” while slamming Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), who is presiding over the trial in his role as president pro tempore of the Senate. “Imagine having a ’trial’ where the ‘judge’ had already voted to convict the defendant?” the account wrote about Leahy on Tuesday....

During the Onigashima Raid, Kaido fought not just the Nine Red Scabbards, but also clashed against the Worst Generation, followed by Yamato, and then rematched against Luffy. Despite everything, Kaido has held the upper hand in most of his battles, but he’s yet to reveal what most fans expect him to pull out any moment and that is his awakening. Even though it feels like Kaido lost the battle to Luffy after he was knocked unconscious and was sent crashing down to the ground, the question remains, will he eventually use his awakening?...

Liu is retired but the Shanghai native remains a Chinese sports icon because his 2004 Olympic hurdles gold medal was the country’s first in men’s track and field. Liu, now 34, was also a 2007 world champion, though his brilliant career petered out because of persistent injury and he retired in 2015. But Chinese spectators may see shades of Liu in McLeod during Saturday’s Diamond League meeting – the affable Jamaican certainly hopes so....
Often spreading their wares just outside the stadia or the main press centre, the pin travellers largely do it as a hobby rather than as a commercial venture. Many participating countries give away these pins as presents, as do some big companies and sponsors.

However, preliminary data currently suggest that if you were infected with Omicron’s BA.1 variant, you may have strong protection against reinfection with BA.2. A preprint study posted to medRxiv assessed 187 cases of COVID-19 between November 22, 2021, until February 11, 2022 reinfection and found 47 instances where BA.2 reinfection occurred after an initial Omicron infection. Their findings show that reinfections can still occur, but it’s relatively rare. While the study has yet to be peer-reviewed—therefore it should not be used to guide clinical practice—it demonstrates that some people who got COVID-19 in the last Omicron surge may have some protection against reinfection....

The destination is accessible only by foot, so tourists on Hawaii’s Big Island must hike for several miles to reach the unique olive-colored beach. But in recent years, visitors have illegally created their own dirt paths and roads, carving up the sacred nearby landscape, according to SFGate, a San Francisco-based news outlet. “This sacred and treasured place for the people of Kau has been desecrated and exploited by off-road enthusiasts, thoughtless actions of visitors, and sports fishermen despite the presence of iwi kupuna [ancestral bones and burials] and sacred sites,” the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) said in a 2016 resources management plan describing the problem....
