Ex-Stanford great Ledecky makes history with latest win at worlds

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:10:34 GMT

FUKUOKA, Japan — Here’s why Katie Ledecky is one of the greatest freestyle swimmers in the history of the sport. She’s never quite satisfied.The 26-year-old American and former Stanford star won the 800-freestyle on Saturday at the World Aquatics Championships to become the first swimmer to win six golds in the same event at the worlds. It was also her 16th individual world title, breaking a tie with legendary Michael Phelps for the most golds at the worlds.She’s also a seven-time Olympic gold medalist and the record holder in both the 800 and 1,500.But that winning time — 8 minutes, 08.87 seconds, which is the seventh quickest she’d even swum — wasn’t quite good enough in her favorite event.“I’m just always trying to think of new ways to improve. I mean I’ve already got everything turning in my head right now. I kind of wanted to be better than I was tonight,” she said, twirling her right hand beside her right ear, trying to stir up ideas.“I’m pretty tough on myself,” she said. “Bu...

‘The Few. The Proud’ aren’t so few: Marines recruiting surges while other services struggle

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:10:34 GMT

PARRIS ISLAND, S.C. (AP) — Not long ago, Marine Col. Jennifer Nash, a combat engineer with war deployments under her belt, made a vow to fellow officers as they headed to a dinner in Atlanta: She would get two new recruiting contacts by the end of the evening.She admits recruiting is not the job that she or other Marines had in mind when they enlisted. But after stints as a recruiter and senior officer at the Eastern recruiting command, she has become emblematic of the Corps’ tradition of putting its best, battle-tested Marines on enlistment duty. They get results.Marine leaders say they will make their recruiting goal this year, while the active-duty Army, Navy and Air Force all expect to fall short. The services have struggled in the tight job market to compete with higher-paying businesses for the dwindling number of young people who can meet the military’s physical, mental and moral standards.On that night, Nash achieved her own goal. She had gotten the valet at the hotel ...

Renard scores the clincher for France in 2-1 win over Brazil at the Women’s World Cup

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:10:34 GMT

BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — Wendie Renard was threatening to skip the Women’s World Cup and Eugénie Le Sommer wasn’t in selection contention just a few months ago under France’s previous coaching regime.A management overhaul and a change of heart ultimately led to two of French football’s most experienced players combining for Les Bleues on Saturday to deliver a 2-1 win over Brazil that put them into a strong position to progress to the round of 16.Le Sommer missed with a diving header in the 13th minute but needed only four more minutes to convert her next chance, beating Brazilian goalkeeper Leticia with a more emphatic header to score her record-extending 90th international goal.Debinha equalized for Brazil as the hour approached, and the game opened up as both teams pressed for a winner. That’s when Renaud stepped in.Renard, who’d been in doubt for the match because of a calf injury she picked up in France’s lackluster opening 0-0 draw against ...

Brazil foiled by France again and faces uphill climb to advance at Women’s World Cup

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:10:34 GMT

BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — France proved it is still Brazil’s kryptonite.A 2-1 loss at the Women’s World Cup on Saturday stretched Brazil’s winless run against the French to 12 games.The result is all too familiar for Brazil, which lost to France in the quarterfinals the 2019 Women’s World Cup by the same score.Brazil then hired the experienced Pia Sundhage as its head coach in hopes of making the changes needed to defeat teams like France. Sundhage had coached the United States to two Olympic gold medals and a runner-up finish in the 2011 Women’s World Cup.This year’s team features 11 first-time World Cup players, but despite the changes Brazil is left still searching for its first win over Les Bleues. The best they’ve managed is five draws.At least Saturday’s defeat was only in the group stage.“We are frustrated because of the loss,” defender and captain Rafaelle Souza said.France’s game-winning goal came in the 83rd minute off Wendie Renard’s h...

Musk’s ‘X’ logo atop ex-Twitter headquarters in San Francisco draws city scrutiny

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:10:34 GMT

X marks the spot where Elon Musk sent San Francisco’s permitting department atwitter.San Francisco has reportedly launched an investigation into a large metal X that appeared Friday atop the billionaire’s social media company headquarters, formerly known as Twitter, saying the change took place without permission from the city.Musk announced last week that the platform would “bid adieu” to Twitter and rebrand as X, the latest in a series of major changes to the tech platform — including limiting the number of posts users can view a day and requiring users to pay for the blue check mark formerly indicative of verification.On Monday, workers were spotted removing the brand’s former bird and logo from the side of the company’s downtown building on Market Street, but the project came to a halt when San Francisco police cautioned that no notice had been given and no safety measures were taken to prevent falling objects from hitting pedestrians.The sign change isn’t th...
