Keeping up with the Macugas, America’s next first family of the Winter Olympics
Forgive Dan and Amy Macuga if they have to consult a spreadsheet to figure out where their children are.
This is one of those things that happens when your three girls are all skiers on the inside track to make the U.S. Olympic team. There’s a boy, too, who also skis competitively and may eventually end up on the U.S. team, but not in 2026.
Ah, but we digress. For the next 16 months or so, the Macuga sisters of Park City, Utah (where else?), are going to be adding their own chapter to the story of standout sports siblings. You’ve heard of the Manning brothers (football) and the Williams sisters (tennis) and the Korda crew (golf and tennis). Alpine skiing had Phil and Steve Mahre way back when.
But here’s what makes the Macugas different: Through the combined forces of having different body types, different interests and probably a healthy dose of the self-preservation instinct that led them to not want to compete against each other, each Macuga pursued a different skiing discipline. The result: When you meet them, there is a bit of a “Sound of Music” vibe to the Macugas, if the Von Trapp family had been filled with skiers rather than singers.

“I’m Sam, I’m 23, and I like to fly,” says Sam Macuga the ski jumper.
“I’m Lauren, I’m 22, and I like to go fast.” That’s Lauren Macuga, the alpine racer.
“And I’m Alli, and I’m 21, and I like all aspects, so I do moguls.”
Like Lauren, Daniel Macuga, the baby of the family at 19, skis alpine. He doesn’t compete internationally yet, so he’s a bit more manageable. He might even attend a U.S.-based college full-time first. Time, and results, will tell.
Their endeavors all have a bit of overlap. Alpine skiers fly 60 meters in the air over jumps. Mogul skiers go pretty darn fast while they race over massive bumps while incorporating flips and other tricks into their runs. And there may be no scarier starting gate than the one atop ski jumping’s large hill.
Three sisters on one Olympic team would be any parent’s dream. Three sisters in essentially three different sports in one Olympics is a parenting psychologist’s dream, since the girls have basically never competed against one another, except in Mario Kart and card games.
“When we play games together, it’s so competitive,” Lauren Macuga said. “If we were all in the same sport, it would not be possible.”

It all happened very organically, too. After moving to Park City in 2007, the Macugas signed up their kids for the region’s Get Out and Play winter sports program, a legacy of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City that provides cheap access to winter Olympic sports for children in the region. Each sister liked something else. Their parents did not complain.
“They kind of self-selected,” said Dan Macuga, a marketing executive who has worked with Chevrolet and Usana. “We’ve always told them, ‘As long as you’re having fun, just keep doing what you’re doing.’ It’s not really our decision to make. It’s what makes them happy, and they chose the sport that they wanted to do.”
Logisticswise though, the Macuga family chronicles have long been an exercise in organizational mayhem.
For years, that meant relying on friends and other parents to get some of their kids to the right mountain at the right time. These days, the various U.S. ski teams take care of that part.
The parents just have to try to figure out what continent and country they need to be in to catch up with the children. There’s a Google Sheet filled out months ahead of time with everyone’s schedule.
What’s happening in the coming days?
According to the sheet, on Thursday, Sam is scheduled to be in Engelberg, Switzerland, preparing for qualification the next day. Lauren will be training in St. Moritz, getting ready for Saturday’s Super-G race; Alli is training for the weekend’s moguls competition in Georgia — the country not the state — after traveling from Alpe D’huez in France the day before; father Dan Macuga and Amy are flying to Zurich that afternoon. Daniel, the little brother, is home on duty with the dogs, Yuki, a Siberian husky, and Bowser, a “megamutt,” according to the girls. The four cats kind of take care of themselves.
The spreadsheet is largely for the parents’ use. The children have their own methods.
“My teammates will be like, ‘Oh, where’s your brother? Where are your sisters?’” Alli Macuga said. “I’m like, ‘I don’t know, somewhere across the world? I think they’re in Europe. Maybe like Japan, or like Norway or, I don’t know, Germany.’ It’s always just a guessing game. Or I’ll check Find My Friends (app) and be like, ‘Oh, that’s where they are.’”
“Yeah, Find My Friends is our hero,” Sam Macuga said.

Lindsey Vonn, at historic stop for women’s alpine, kicks off her World Cup return
Alli and Lauren found themselves in the same hotel in Chile this summer for a week of training. That was weird. Basically never happens.
Once they figure out where each other is, sometimes they realize a sister is competing at that very moment. They will tap away on their various gadgets until they find a live stream of the competition somewhere and cheer along from thousands of miles away.
Alli, the mogul specialist, has posted the best results of the family so far, though Lauren showed signs that she might be coming on fast. Racing the famed Birds of Prey track at Beaver Creek in Colorado over the weekend, she finished fourth in the downhill and 12th in Super-G. In the downhill, she missed her first spot on a World Cup podium by 0.18 seconds.
If she keeps that up, she will be following in the footsteps of Alli, who has come a bit out of nowhere the past couple of years to become one of the U.S. team’s rising stars.

She landed on two podiums last season and finished fifth in the world rankings and has two top-15 finishes to start this World Cup season. There’s not too much mystery surrounding her success. During her early teens, she liked freestyle skiing so much she competed in seven different disciplines, everything from “big air,” which is going off one huge jump and doing some flips and spins, to “big mountain,” which requires flying down a steep descent filled with cliffs and frightening drops.
“I was constantly competing and traveling and not training,” she said.
She decided to choose the two she liked most, which were moguls and big mountain. But at 17, at the junior world championships in big mountain in Switzerland, she crashed on a cliff and fractured her back. That pretty much ended her big mountain career.
Two seasons ago, she was supposed to just have a few starts on the top-tier World Cup circuit and spend the rest of the season competing a level down on the Nor-Am Tour. Then she finished 12th in her first World Cup start. She ended up getting the World Cup Rookie of the Year award and also winning the Nor-Am tour.
She’s pretty sure that not specializing in one discipline too soon and those early years trying out alpine and jumping with her sisters have played a big role in her success.
“They all contributed to each other,” she said.
Lauren Macuga said she got hooked on speed skiing when her coach threw her into a downhill race in Sugarloaf in Maine when she was 16. Nearly all kids start out skiing gates and don’t move into the speed disciplines until they are older.
Lauren had never raced downhill before. She quickly discovered that the race basically happens on ice, rather than snow. She did her first training run fully clothed, wanting some protection in case she fell. She wore pants during the second one.
Her coach told her to aim for finishing within two seconds of the leaders. She finished a little more than a second behind them and got hooked on the adrenaline rush.
The shift to competing in Europe at the highest level has been an education. American mountains, especially in the lower rungs of competition, don’t have the icy steeps of Europe, with jumps over waterfalls and other high-octane challenges. One look at the left-right combination of the “Hot Air” jump in Zauchensee, Austria, last year and she thought it might be the end of her.
“At the start and you’re like, ‘Oh my God, I just want to make it down,’” she said. “I guess the fear factor just kind of turned more into, it was fun.”
A season-best fifth-place finish in Super-G in Kvitfjell, Norway, last season went some distance toward that transformation.
Sam Macuga has further to go to get to that level. The U.S. doesn’t have the history of success in women’s ski jumping that it does in alpine and freestyle. Women didn’t compete in the Olympics until 2014, and funding for an American jumping team can be hard to come by.
But she’s already accumulating points toward a spot on the U.S. team for 2026. Her slight build has always been well-suited to jumping, where being light can help you soar. She’s also got a technical mind and studies electrical engineering at Dartmouth for a quarter each year.
Plus, there is this:
“I like to fly,” she said.
That’s not always the sort of thing a parent likes to hear. And there isn’t much comfort with the other kids, given Alli’s mid-slope flips and Lauren and Daniel tearing down sheets of ice at 80 mph.
Whatever, the Macugas are used to it.
Amy Macuga says she gets nervous for them in the starting gate but not out of fear of an injury.
“They hit the ground pretty hard, and like any parent, you can have that inkling to start running toward them, but you also know that with the team that they’re in good hands,” Dan Macuga said. “You know that people (are) taking good care of them and wouldn’t let them do something that they thought it was gonna hurt them.”
Plus, they have a spreadsheet to manage, which is enough to worry about.
“We used to operate off a whiteboard,” Lauren Macuga said. “We have upgraded.”

Phoenix Suns great Dick Van Arsdale, who was the first player picked in the franchise’s expansion draft to build the team, has died, the team announced on Monday. He was 81.
Van Arsdale, who was a second-round pick of the New York Knicks in 1965, played three seasons with the team before he went to Phoenix. He played for the Suns from 1968 to 1977.

“The first selection in the expansion draft to build the Suns roster and the scorer of the first points in team history, Van Arsdale was a cornerstone of the Suns organization,” the team said in a news release. “He earned three All-Star selections, was a member of the team’s first trip to the NBA Finals in 1976 and retired as the franchise’s all-time leading scorer in 1977.
“Beloved throughout the Suns organization and fanbase, Van Arsdale held several positions with the team, including broadcaster and front office executive, following his 12-year NBA career.”
A team spokesman told The Associated Press that the franchise had received the news from his family. A cause of death was not immediately released.

“Our thoughts are with his friends and family, including his twin brother and Suns teammate, Tom, during this difficult time.”
Van Arsdale played in 921 games and averaged 16.4 points and 4.1 rebounds per game in his career.
“We mourn the loss of Knicks alum, Dick Van Arsdale. Our thoughts and condolences go out to the Van Arsdale family,” the Knicks added in a post on X.

What’s wrong with Manchester City?
I have a theory, although it’s not going to be a popular one with the team’s Emirati owners. The problem might be the coach, whom the club recently signed to a two-year extension that, based on the value of his previous contract, is likely worth more than $50 million.
And Pep Guardiola has earned that. In nine seasons at Manchester City, he has coached the team to 15 major trophies, including six of the last seven English Premier League titles and a treble in 2022-23. His teams have broken EPL records for consecutive titles won, most points in a season, most wins in a season, most goals in a season, largest title-winning margin and best goal differential, among other things.
Before that, Guardiola won two Champions League titles and a treble at Barcelona and three Bundesliga crowns in as many seasons at Bayern Munich. He is, without question, one of the greatest club coaches in soccer history.
But he might have overstayed his welcome in Manchester.
Guardiola, 53, has already coached more than twice as many games in Manchester as he did at any of his previous stops. If he stays through the end of his extension — and he apparently has more than 50 million reasons why he should — he’ll have spent 11 seasons at the club in a league where the average tenure of a manager is just 787 days, according to The Athletic.
Already Guardiola has been with City longer than most Americans stay in their first marriage. And just as with no-fault divorce, it’s not necessary to place blame when relationships go stale. It is, however, necessary to move on.
That’s where City finds itself after having won just once in its last 11 games in all competition, the worst slide in Guardiola’s coaching career. The latest loss came Sunday, at home, in the Manchester Derby, with City conceding twice in the final two minutes of regulation time in a 2-1 loss that dropped it to fifth in the EPL table.
City hasn’t finished outside the top four since 2010 and just once has a Guardiola-coached team finished lower than second in league play anywhere. The team is giving up goals at a higher pace (1.68 per game in all competition) than in any previous season under Guardiola, with the 42 scores City has conceded in 25 games this year matching the number it gave up in 61 games in 2020-21.
City has clearly lost its swagger. In the past it was cocky and confident; now it’s rattled and in disarray.
So why is this happening?
It’s certainly not because Guardiola has suddenly forgotten how to coach; despite City’s struggles he remains one of the game’s premier tacticians. Injuries, however, have been a factor, especially on the defensive end.
John Stones has played just 11 times this season, two more than Nathan Ake. And Kyle Walker, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Kyle Walker and Kevin De Bruyne have all lost time to injuries or illness. Yet no one has been missed more than Rodri, the team’s midfield anchor and recent Ballon d’Or winner, who has been out since late September because of an ACL injury.

City was unbeaten in eight games before Rodri was hurt; it has won just seven times in 17 games since.
Yet injuries — even devastating ones like Rodri’s — are a part of the game and City has overcome them before. What’s more likely at the center of the team’s sudden collapse this season is the fact the relationship between Guardiola and his players, like a poor first marriage, has gone stale.
Six of the team’s core players are older than 30, and all six — in addition to Foden — have been there since Guardiola’s second season in Manchester. They’ve been together for more than 440 games and thousands of practices, team meetings and halftime speeches.
There’s a good chance everything Guardiola says is something they’ve heard before. So even if they don’t tune it out — consciously or unconsciously — the message doesn’t resonate the way it did before.
This isn’t a new phenomenon. It’s why many national team managers last just one World Cup cycle and why the average stay of a club coach in Europe is only 402 days, according to the Swiss-based International Centre for Sports Studies. In South America it’s 99 fewer.
Guardiola’s tenure with Manchester City, on the other hand, is already the second longest in club history and more than two years longer than that of any other current Premier League manager.
Familiarity might be a strength in some professions, but coaching is not among them.
Consider Bob Bradley’s time with LAFC. In his first season, which ended with an MLS playoff appearance, players raved about his attention to even the smallest details, which included how well they bused their tables in the team cafeteria. By his fourth season, the team had a losing record and players were complaining that Bradley was too exacting. So the team replaced him with the more laid-back Steve Cherundolo and won a Supporters’ Shield and MLS Cup in Cherundolo’s first year.
“Different influence, different voice. I think that is part of the process,” said Ante Razov, an assistant coach under both managers.
I remember a similar lesson from decades ago. The day before the late John Robinson was to coach USC in its third Rose Bowl in four years, I was sent out to cover the Trojans’ final practice. Just before practice ended, the gates to the field swung open and the USC band, led by the song girls, marched in playing the school’s fight song.
As some of the greats from past USC teams suddenly emerged from the gathering crowd to give rousing speeches, it was obvious the team’s newer players were being whipped into a fervor. But behind them several juniors and seniors sat on their helmets and chatted among themselves, ignoring the pep talks altogether. When I asked why, one bored lineman said “we’ve heard this all before.”
Robinson never won another Rose Bowl and three years later he left for the NFL. The problem wasn’t the coach or the message, it was the fact the players had heard it all before.
The same might now be true on the east side of Manchester.

Even SEC football is jealous of what SEC basketball is doing right now.
The league went 14-1 this weekend and has been so dominant that you’re going to hear a lot of “The SEC is the first league to (fill in the blank)” for the next few months. My Top 25 ballot this week includes 10 SEC teams, with five in the top 10. Three others — Missouri, Arkansas and Texas — have arguments to be included. Just going by the numbers, Auburn could be the best team at this point of the season in the last decade. (More on the Tigers below.)
Remember all of that preseason talk about how many Big 12 teams were in the top 10 and how ridiculously good that league was going to be? Well, the SEC is walking the walk.
This is going to be one fun league race to watch.
Reminder: Below my Top 25, I give nuggets on an unspecified number of teams each week. So when a team appears in the table but not in the text below, that’s why. Scroll on for notes on Auburn, Tennessee, Iowa State, Florida, Kentucky, Kansas, UConn, Texas A&M and Dayton.
1. Auburn
How good has Auburn been? After running previously Top 25 Ohio State off the floor in a 91-53 win in Atlanta on Saturday, Auburn now has an efficiency margin of 35.01 at KenPom. KenPom has this fun sorting tool that allows you to see the ratings at any point in the season dating back to the 2011-12 season. Turns out, Auburn is his database’s best team on Dec. 15 in the last 14 seasons — by a lot.
Now, you’ll notice that the best team at this point in time doesn’t always win the national championship. Three of the last 14 teams that were No. 1 on Dec. 15 went on to win it all: 2011-12 Kentucky, 2017-18 Villanova and 2022-23 UConn. What we can assume is that Auburn is probably going to have a No. 1 seed; 2016-17 Duke is the only team with a plus-30 efficiency margin at this snapshot in time that did not end up a No. 1 seed.
You’ll also notice this year’s Tennessee and Duke teams are also in this top-10, which is another way of saying that in just about any other year, those teams would be No. 1 at this point.
So, Auburn has been really, really, ridiculously good this season. I’m not going to argue against anyone ranking Tennessee No. 1, especially after the Vols won at Illinois on Saturday. But the Tigers have been historically dominant so far.

2. Tennessee
The Vols started to close the resume gap with Auburn in a 66-64 win over the Illini in Champaign. (The one thing Auburn is missing is an impressive road win. Technically, beating Houston in Houston didn’t count because the game was played at the Rockets’ arena.)
Tennessee showed the value of a strong bench in its win at Illinois. Its best two players, Chaz Lanier and Zakai Zeigler, both fouled out. Zeigler barely played the second half. Starting center Felix Okpara was also limited to nine minutes because of foul trouble, and he just didn’t really fit in this game. The Vols still found a way, mostly because sixth man Jordan Gainey stepped up to score 23 points, including the buzzer-beating game winner.
[Fran Fraschilla voice] A lesson for young guards: Be able to drive either direction. Gainey has had 12 drives to the bucket this season — seven to the right, five to the left — and has now converted four out of the five times he’s gone left. This play was going to allow him to go either direction. The Vols placed Cade Phillips near the top of the key and had him try to set a butt screen. He didn’t make any contact, but it was just another obstacle for the defense. Illinois was in a tricky spot from the start, with Gainey getting a running start and Kasparas Jakucionis backpedaling and eventually opening his hips when Gainey hit him with an in-and-out dribble.
Ideally, Illini big man Tomislav Ivisic would have tried to contest this shot, but he stopped to box out Phillips, who is one of the best offensive rebounders in the country. If the Illini had it to do over again, Kylan Boswell probably would have plugged that gap since he’s guarding Jahmai Mashack, whom the Illini cheated off all night. It’s hard to make those quick decisions in such a hectic setting, and credit to the Vols for knowing exactly what they wanted and executing it. That’s why you practice special situations. (Also, credit to Rick Barnes for the play call, one he got from legendary high school coach Morgan Wootten.)
Iowa State’s offense continues to hum along as one of the best in college basketball, which isn’t something most had on the preseason bingo card. One big boost to the Cyclones has been the passing of power forward Joshua Jefferson, who had a season-high seven assists to go along with 19 points and 10 rebounds in a 89-80 comeback win over Iowa on Thursday.
Jefferson is such a good passer because he stays composed in traffic and understands passing angles. Iowa was doubling the post, and Jefferson was welcoming that double. Watch how he takes a wide step to his left to pull the second defender further up the floor and create a better angle to feed Dishon Jackson.
This inbound is an example of a hectic situation that had to go off-script. This looked like it was designed to go to Jefferson, but he wasn’t able to get it as easily because Drew Thelwell (No. 3) was not where you’d expect him to be. Jefferson realized Iowa’s defense was misaligned, looked middle to assess and then made the skip pass to Nate Heise.
Jefferson always has great awareness of where the help is coming from. This was a smart and timely cut from Heise, as well.
This final Jefferson assist iced the game for the Cyclones. Iowa’s Josh Dix saw the short roll develop and came down from above the 3-point line to tag Jefferson. Again, Jefferson calmly assessed the floor, realized where Dix came from and got Curtis Jones a wide-open look:
Florida is the top-10 team you could most easily argue against because its schedule doesn’t compare to the others in this range. But the Gators have been dominant enough to justify their placement, off to a 10-0 start with every win by double-digits, and they have a star emerging in Walter Clayton. Averaging 23 points over the last four games, Clayton is one of the scariest volume scorers in the country because he can shoot with range and get it off quickly. During that four-game stretch, he has made 19 of 47 from 3-point range. Getting off 47 3s in four games and knocking them down at better than a 40 percent clip is an impressive feat.
A note to future opponents: Do not play a 1-3-1 zone when Clayton is in the game. Arizona State tried that twice on Saturday. This happened the first time:
And this happened the second time:
Clayton, by himself, is a zone buster.
6. Kentucky
Kentucky point guard Lamont Butler is arguably the team’s most important player because the Wildcats play faster when he’s on the floor. This is a team that thrives in transition: Kentucky scored 28 points on 14 transition opportunities against Louisville and is now scoring 1.32 points per transition opportunity, which is third-best in the country (per Synergy).
Butler is great at pitching it ahead, and he puts pressure on the defense with his speed, getting quick paint touches like this one that usually end in an easy bucket.
With Butler on the floor, Kentucky has an effective field goal percentage of 61.1 percent, per CBB Analytics. That’s higher than any eFG percentage in the history of KenPom, which dates back to 1997. In other words, Kentucky is a historically great offense with Butler on the floor.
Kansas looked like Kansas again in its win over NC State on Saturday. And if there’s a key to KU looking top-10 good compared to whatever it was against Creighton and Missouri, it’s Dajuan Harris Jr. and Zeke Mayo playing with confidence and making shots. Teams are usually willing to let Harris shoot, but the scouting report has been to try to take away Mayo. The Jayhawks need to find ways to get the South Dakota State transfer 3-point looks because in games when he has attempted five or more 3s — which has happened against NC State, Furman, Oakland, North Carolina and Howard — he has shot a solid 15 of 36 from 3 and KU has an efficiency of 123.3 in those games. That’d be the sixth-best offense in college hoops.

Is there reason to believe this season will be different for Indiana and Mike Woodson?
13. UConn
Turns out the Huskies weren’t cooked. They now have three consecutive wins over top-40 KenPom teams (Baylor, Texas and Gonzaga), and that alone is Top 25 worthy. UConn is one of seven teams with at least three top 40 wins, joining Auburn (five wins), Marquette (four), Alabama (three), Kansas (three), Texas A&M (three) and Purdue (three).
Since the day after the Maui Invitational, UConn is the fifth-best team in college basketball, according to barttorvik.com. The schedule could also allow for the Huskies to keep climbing in the rankings over the next month-plus. They will likely be favored in their next 10 games. Credit to Dan Hurley and his players for turning things around so quickly. That Hurley swagger appears to be back.
14. Texas A&M
No one in college basketball is better during the one or two seconds that a shot is in the air than Texas A&M. The Aggies, who are the best offensive rebounding team in the country, should be the betting favorite to remain in that spot all season. Watch their effort when the shot is in the air:
Solomon Washington went about 40 feet to chase that board down, and even though the Aggies didn’t end up scoring, they took 45 seconds off that clock in that one possession, essentially icing the game. No matter where that ball bounced, the Aggies had someone in position to grab it. Whether it’s high-pointing a ball in the air or chasing down a long rebound, Buzz Williams has guys with the athleticism and desire to go get it.
Anthony Grant has had some great offensive teams at Dayton, but usually it’s the shooting that is the separator. This group is good in that category — ranking 24th in effective field goal percentage — but these Flyers take care of the basketball better than any of his previous teams. They are turning it over on only 13.1 percent of their possessions, and their aversion to turnovers helped them knock off Marquette on Saturday. Only three teams have had a turnover rate under 20 percent against the Golden Eagles this season. Dayton had the lowest (11.3), and Marquette is now 1-2 in those games.
