2022 Winter Olympics (Beijing, China)

Kamila Valieva DQ'd; Russia to lose '22 skating gold to U.S.​

Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva was disqualified from the 2022 Olympics on Monday, almost two years after the teenager's doping case caused turmoil at the Beijing Games.

The verdict from the Court of Arbitration for Sport means the Russians are set to be stripped of the gold medal in figure skating's team event. The United States finished second and is set to be named Olympic champion instead.

The U.S. team took silver in Beijing and should be upgraded to gold. Japan took bronze, and Canada placed fourth. The IOC is responsible for reallocating medals; its executive board is next scheduled to meet in March.

"We now anticipate the day when we can wholeheartedly celebrate these athletes, along with their peers from around the world," the U.S. Olympic body's CEO, Sarah Hirshland, said in a statement Monday.

The likely new Olympic champions are Evan Bates, Karen Chen, Nathan Chen, Madison Chock, Zachary Donohue, Brandon Frazier, Madison Hubbell, Alexa Knierim and Vincent Zhou.

LB Chris Spielman (2x All-American, 4x Pro Bowl, 3x All-Pro, CFB HOF)

He has the attitude that every employee of every organization should exhibit: I’m here to do whatever needs to be done, and to never complain or engage in self-promotion.

Just sayin': That is really great advice for all employees no matter who they work for.

Ohio State at Northwestern, Saturday, January 27, 2024, 8:30 PM ET, BTN

Never watched a team that made more s**t shots than NW. It seemed like everything they threw up went inside the hoop. Watched balls climb up the rim and over into the nets, saw off balance heaves split the cords, simply everything (OK, not 100%, I get it) found the bottom of the net. Plus, tOSU's offense looked like a peewee game (used to call it 'herd ball'), and no one was spacing, cutting, or setting picks (called it more of a California stop - at a stop sign). Great win for NW, toppling the mighty Ohio State, burying them actually. Starting to believe Holtmann doesn't have the leadership skills to reset, or have team believe in him to have the answer. Saw couple of freshmen, but in cameo appearances, not getting meaningful minutes. Woulda acknowledged the outcome early in fourth quarter and emptied the bench. Who knows, somebody might have played well, and hopefully gotten more minutes down the stretch. Bjork might have an item for the top of his 'to do' list already.

What Magazines Do You Subscribe To?

SKULL SESSION: OHIO STATE IS THE “APEX PREDATOR” OF THE NIL WORLD, “CULTURE” MUST PREVAIL FOR BUCKEYES TO WIN 2024 TITLE AND A LOOK AT OHIO STATE SPORTS ILLUSTRATED COVERS THROUGH THE YEARS​

When I learned Sports Illustrated would soon cease to exist, I mourned the death of one of sports’ greatest magazines by looking at some of my favorite covers SI created and distributed throughout the years.

Many of my favorites were Ohio State-themed: One featured Aaron Craft, another Braxton Miller and another Ezekiel Elliott. Ah, the memories.

For those like me who will miss Sports Illustrated, I collected over 30 Ohio State-themed SI covers from 1960 to 2017 and organized them in a gallery below. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

2025 VA RB Harry Dalton (USC Signee)


A 5-foot-10, 200 pound athlete, Dalton took to Twitter to share that Ohio State was the latest to join his recruitment. A Virginia native, he’s currently the No. 483 player nationally and the 39th best player at his position per the 247Sports Composite. While the ranking may not be as high as many of the other targets Ohio State is in on, Dalton’s offer list that includes the likes of Alabama, Florida, Penn State, Tennessee, and several others goes to show that it may be time for an update in the overall grades.

Ohio State’s 2025 class is sure to be a larger one in terms of the amount of guys they bring in, and running back will look to have at least two committed, if not more, when all is said and done. In-state back Bo Jackson is atop of the leaderboard for the Buckeyes, but Alford is looking for additional guys they feel confident in.
