AUSTIN, Texas – Barton Springs Pool is temporarily closed after Sunday’s rainstorm.

The city of Austin says the closure is due to reduced visibility after minor erosion resulted in cloudy water. 

The pool will reopen when visibility allows lifeguards to be able to monitor swimmers effectively.

Francesco Bagnaia faced unexpected challenges during the 2024 British MotoGP at Silverstone, finishing third despite leading for more than half of the race. Initially setting a strong pace, Bagnaia’s performance waned due to tyre management issues, resulting in him being overtaken first by Jorge Martin and then by teammate Enea Bastianini.

In the early stages, Bagnaia seemed in control, but as the race progressed, his difficulties became apparent. As quoted by Crash.net, Bagnaia explained after the race:

“The first thing I want to do this afternoon and these days is to check everything on the data and know everything, because I want to know what I did wrong. 

“I was thinking that I was managing everything well in terms of pace and tyres but when Jorge overtook me I saw that he was in better shape than me and I started to struggle a lot. 

“I lost the front and Enea overtook me. I started to slow down and just finish the race because, today, it was more important than trying to fight for a better position. 

“And they were just faster than me. I tried to do the maximum, and that maximum was third place. 

“It’s not he first time this happened to me. Every time I’m not fully happy with the front tyre, like today we chose the medium, then I finish more the rear tyre because I can’t force the front to turn more. 

“More than this was impossible. Happy with the result but it was a pity that yesterday I crashed.”

Despite the setback, the race was not without its achievements for Ducati and Bagnaia. The podium finish marked Bagnaia’s 43rd, setting a record for the most in Ducati’s history. The Italian rider continued:

“43 podiums is for sure a good number. It’s starting to become quite huge in terms of numbers.

“And when you put the best riders with the best bikes you can have this kind of lockout. 

“We are eight [riders] with a bike that has the possibility to win and there are five or six riders on those eight bikes that are the top of the top. 

“I think it’s quite normal to have these types of results. We always check the data and it gives us motivation to improve. 

“It’s a great result for Ducati but it’s thanks to us that we are improving every time.” 

The next MotoGP race is set to take place at the Red Bull Ring in Austria on August 18.

PARIS — Matt Ebden’s 2024 Olympics started with his first singles match in more than two years — a 6-0, 6-1 loss to Novak Djokovic as a fill-in after other players pulled out of that event. A week later, back in his element as a doubles player, Ebden will leave France as a gold medalist with partner John Peers.

Ebden and Peers won Australia’s second tennis gold medal in Summer Games history on Saturday, beating Texas A&M product and Allen resident Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram of the United States 6-7 (6), 7-6 (1), 10-8 in a match tiebreaker in the men’s doubles final. Olympics doubles uses a first-to-10, win-by-two tiebreaker in place of a traditional third set.

“I knew this would come up,” Ebden said when asked about the way his Summer Games began. “Last night, I did think of it. I was actually dreaming of an Instagram post, like: ‘How it started; how it’s going.’ … Swipe right, and there’s a gold-medal photo.”

Ebden and Peers trailed by a set and 4-2 in the second before breaking Ram’s serve to begin the comeback. Their tennis gold follows the one won for Australia by Todd Woodbridge and Mark Woodforde in men’s doubles at Atlanta in 1996.

“It’s trippy. It’s more than a dream. I didn’t even dream of winning a gold medal growing up or whatever,” Ebden said. “The last few years, I had great success on the doubles court. It gave a lot of belief and confidence coming in here.”

He is a 36-year-old doubles specialist who has been ranked No. 1 in that event and has won two Slam trophies in men’s doubles and one in mixed. In singles? Until facing Djokovic — “My main goal in that match was just not to get injured,” Ebden joked Saturday — he hadn’t competed in a tour-level, main-draw singles match since June 2022.

Djokovic said he thinks the rules should be changed so someone like Ebden does not wind up on the court in singles at the Summer Games.

Ebden hasn’t even had a singles ranking since he was No. 970 the week of May 29, 2023. But he already was in Paris to compete in men’s doubles and so that made him available for the singles competition when 16th-ranked Holger Rune of Denmark pulled out because of a wrist injury.

When Saturday’s match ended, the children of Peers and Ebden climbed out of the stands to hug their fathers. Ebden draped a replica gold medal around the neck of his son, whom he then tossed in the air and caught.

Peers, who won a bronze in mixed doubles with Ash Barty at the Tokyo Games three years ago, said his oldest daughter has been saying she wanted a gold. Now she can bring it to school for show-and-tell.

“They’re going to be talking about this one,” Peers said, “until we’re 100.”

Peers has been No. 2 in doubles and owns one Grand Slam title each in men’s doubles — which came by beating twins Bob and Mike Bryan in the final of the 2017 Australian Open — and mixed doubles.

The 40-year-old Ram, who is based in Indiana, was trying to become the oldest player to win an Olympics tennis gold — for men or women, in singles or doubles — since the sport returned to the Summer Games in 1988.

He and Krajicek, a 34-year-old who lives in Florida, also were trying to become the third U.S. duo to win a men’s doubles gold. The most recent had been the Bryans at London in 2012. The brothers were in the stands Saturday — Bob is the country’s men’s tennis coach in Paris, and Mike has been serving as a hitting partner and helping coach doubles.

Instead, Ram and Krajicek — who eliminated Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals — will head home with silvers.

Later Saturday, another American duo, Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul, won the bronze with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Tomas Machac and Adam Pavlasek of the Czech Republic. Machac and Katerina Siniakova won the gold in mixed doubles on Friday night.
