Commonwealth Games Glasgow 2026

Glasgow hosted Commonwealth Games 2014. And will host again in 2026 — but with a reduced number of sports. We await hearing what sports will be included.

Australia was to host — but withdrew due to rising costs.

Beam legend Cătălina Ponor

I’ve heard many stories of Cătă training Beam. She rarely fell, even in practice.

During her career, she won 23 Olympic, World and European medals. More than half of them (12) were gold. 

She won three gold medals at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens on balance beam, floor and as part of the Romanian team.

So far — Basketball and Gymnastics athletes are paid most in female sports.

Name, Image, Likeness documentary

Watch The Money Game on Amazon Prime.

In the first of 6 episodes, Livvy Dunne tells this would be her final season. The goal to win NCAA Nationals.

LSU did win in 2024. But Livvy decided to sign on for a 5th year.

“Winning is addictive.”

Amidst the harsh glare of one of the most fiercely debated stories in all of sports, LSU student athletes Olivia Dunne, Jayden Daniels, Angel Reese, Flau’jae Johnson, Alia Armstrong and Trace Young navigate the uncharted waters of Name, Image and Likeness (“NIL”).

I don’t like Concussion Ball (Football) — so might not continue watching the series.
