Lindsey Vonn makes Olympic comeback after ACL injury in women’s downhill
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Lindsey Vonn’s remarkable comeback to the Olympic Games is nearly complete.
Vonn completed her training in the women’s downhill on Friday and Saturday, a big test after she tore her ACL just over a week ago in a World Cup race. With her training complete, she will compete at 5:30 a.m. ET on Sunday in the women’s downhill final.
Vonn will also compete in the women’s team combined downhill and the women’s super-G.

The 41-year-old will participate in the women’s team combined official training on Monday, Feb. 9, at 5:30 a.m. ET. She will then compete in the actual event on Tuesday, Feb. 10, at 4:30 a.m. ET and 8 a.m. ET.
Her final event is on Thursday, the women’s super-G, at 5:30 a.m. ET.
After Vonn was injured last week, many thought it would rule her out of the Olympics, but the Minnesota native has fought through. On X, she clarified that her ACL is 100% ruptured.

An ACL tear normally entails a recovery that lasts about a year, but Vonn plans to fight through it.
She made a stunning comeback to the sport last year after nearly six years away from competition. Her return followed a partial titanium replacement inserted into her right knee, which she had in 2024.

The Team USA legend is the second-most successful woman in World Cup history with 84 wins. She has won eight World Championship medals.
Vonn won a gold medal in the downhill and a bronze medal in the super-G in the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games, and a bronze medal in the downhill at the 2018 PyeongChang Olympic Games. She will look to add to her collection in Italy.

Sierra Canyon boys, Ontario Christian girls draw top seeds in Open Division basketball playoffs
Sierra Canyon boys’ basketball team and Ontario Christian’s girls’ team received the No. 1 seeds for the Southern Section Open Division playoffs when pairings were released on Saturday. It’s no surprise since those two teams have been No. 1 since the season began in November.
As they say in horse racing terms, they’re trying to go wire-to-wire, but each faces challenges to reach the Toyota Arena in Ontario for the championship games Feb. 28. Pool play begins Wednesday for boys and Thursday for girls.
There are two veteran teams in the Open Division that should provide competition to Sierra Canyon (22-1). No. 2-seeded Santa Margarita (26-3) and No. 3 Redondo Union (25-3) have both proven to be capable of winning big games against top opponents. Redondo Union owns wins over Sherman Oaks Notre Dame and Phoenix Sunnyslope, the No. 1 team in Arizona. Santa Margarita won the Trinity League tournament.
There were 12 teams selected for the Open Division, using a computer algorithm to rank teams, with three pools of three teams. Teams are guaranteed three games with boys’ quarterfinals Feb. 20, semifinals Feb. 24 and finals Feb. 28. Two teams won’t advance to state playoffs.
Crean Lutheran is seeded No. 1 in Division 1 boys. Gold Coast League co-champions Brentwood and Crossroads have already met twice and could meet a third time in the second round of the Division 1 playoffs if Brentwood defeats Fairmont Prep and Crossroads defeats Long Beach Poly. Longtime power Mater Dei made the Division 2 playoffs. Servite received its first playoff berth in Division 2 since 2022.
In girls’ brackets, defending state champion Etiwanda (27-2) is seeded No. 2 and always seems to play its best come playoff time. Last season, the Eagles knocked off Ontario Christian in the regionals. No. 3 Sierra Canyon (26-2) has South Carolina-bound Jerzy Robinson and will certainly be in contention for section, regional and state titles.
An Etiwanda-Sierra Canyon semifinal is looming for the right to play Ontario Christian. These three teams have dominated girls’ basketball this season.
City Section pairings will be released later Saturday afternoon.

Former MLB player Yasiel Puig found guilty of obstruction, lying to federal investigators
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Former Major League Baseball outfielder Yasiel Puig was found guilty by a jury in a federal gambling case, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced Friday.
The verdict followed a weekslong trial that included testimony from MLB officials and Donny Kadokawa, a Hawaii baseball coach tied to Puig and the illegal gambling operation.
Puig played for three major league teams, spending the bulk of his career with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He has not appeared in an MLB game since 2019. Puig, 35, now faces up to 20 years in federal prison.
His sentencing is scheduled for May 26.

Puig’s attorney, Keri Curtis Axel, argued the government failed to prove key elements of its case and that she plans to raise post-trial motions.
“We look forward to clearing Yasiel’s name,” Axel said.
Puig initially pleaded guilty to a felony charge of lying to federal agents investigating an illegal gambling operation.
He acknowledged in an August 2022 plea agreement that he wracked up more than $280,000 in losses over a few months in 2019 while wagering on tennis, football and basketball games through a third party who worked for an illegal gambling operation run by Wayne Nix, a former minor league baseball player.
GUARDIANS’ EMMANUEL CLASE ARRESTED BY FBI AT JFK AIRPORT FOR ALLEGED ROLE IN GAMBLING SCHEME
Nix pleaded guilty in 2022 to conspiracy to operate an illegal gambling business and subscribing to a false tax return. Authorities said Puig placed at least 900 bets through Nix-controlled betting websites and through a man who worked for Nix.
Prosecutors said that, during a January 2022 interview with federal investigators, Puig denied knowing about the nature of his bets, who he was betting with and the circumstances of paying his gambling debts.
But he changed his tune months later, announcing that he was switching his plea to not guilty because of “significant new evidence,” according to a statement from his attorneys in Los Angeles.
“I want to clear my name,” Puig said in the statement. “I never should have agreed to plead guilty to a crime I did not commit.”

The government argued he intentionally misled federal investigators. They played in court audio clips of Puig speaking English and brought expert witnesses to testify on Puig’s cognitive abilities, The New York Times reported.
His attorneys said Puig, who has a third-grade education, had untreated mental health issues and did not have his own interpreter or criminal legal counsel with him during the interview with federal investigators when he allegedly lied.

Puig made his MLB debut with the Dodgers in 2013 and finished his major league career with 132 home runs and 415 RBIs. He was selected to the MLB All-Star team in 2014. Last year, he played for the Kiwoom Heroes, a professional baseball team based in Seoul.
