American great Vonn crashed out of the penultimate race of her career at the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in Tuesday’s super-G race in Are, but still plans to take the slopes for one last time in the downhill on Sunday. Vonn, who confirmed she still requires an operation after tearing her lateral collateral ligament in her left knee while training in November, had targeted beating Ingemar Stenmark’s overall record of 86 World Cup wins before hanging up the skis....

India won the four-match series 2-1 after the Sydney Test ended in a rain-forced draw, their first ever Test series triumph on Australian soil. What the weather could not hide was Australia’s poor performance with both bat and ball through the four matches. It was attributed to batting mainstays David Warner and Steve Smith’s one-year ban on ball tampering charges but Gavaskar rejected the assertion. “It is not India’s fault that this Australian team was without David Warner and Steve Smith....

These are not simply the calculations of pride and emotion. They are made from an Arab perspective-much of it quite pragmatic-that the White House is either reluctant to concede or may not comprehend. “If there is no war and [Saddam] withdraws, then he looks like a coward, an idiot, who’s lost everything,” says an Arab envoy who has dealt with the Iraqi dictator personally on dozens of occasions. “He is thinking, ‘If I go to war, there is a chance that I will survive it, and at least I will be looked on by the Arabs as a hero who went against the whole world because of right, of justice’....

The NFL, in a thinly veiled response to Rams, owner Stan Kroenke, recently informed teams that the league will make decisions regarding relocation, not an individual owner, according to a memo obtained by the Los Angeles Times. MORE: Chargers could sue to keep team out of LA | Kronke meets with St. Louis stadium head | Stadium plans The memo reads in part: The special committee, formally known as the Committee of Los Angeles Opportunities, includes owners Clark Hunt (Chiefs), Robert Kraft (Patriots), John Mara (Giants), Bob McNair (Texans), Jerry Richardson (Panthers) and Art Rooney II (Steelers)....

Sugar cane is a big, if controversial, business in south Florida. Since 1930, when the U.S. Sugar Corp. opened its first plantation near Lake Okeechobee, more than 500,000 acres have come under cane. Sixty years of state and federal programs to build dikes and. drain swamps left a nutrient-rich muck ideally suited to the crop. Profits are almost guaranteed: a federal support program props up the domestic price of sugar, while quotas hold down imports from Latin America, the Caribbean and the Philippines....

“I’m not sure. I don’t know,” she says. There’s a tinge of anxiety in her voice. “But you’re so smart,” he says. “You were on the dean’s list. I thought you wanted to go to law school.” A pause. “I would be getting out of law school just at the moment I want my children. I certainly don’t want to go work in an office. I saw my mother do that....

For more than a year, debate on Korea has proceeded as if two viable alternatives were on offer. One, in diplomatese, is to “play it long,” to avoid turning a drama into a crisis. The other is to play chicken with Kim Il Sung until he blinks. It’s a false choice. The second course would escalate tension until, as one Asian scholar says, “Doomsday becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.” Military planners in Washington readily explain why: conventional weapons can’t destroy Kim’s military capability....

Answer that question before launching into the obligatory round of Irish criticism that is sure to come after the latest playoff failure.

Djokovic had just won his eighth Australian Open championship last month, but he made sure to spend time with his young fans by playing a game of doubles with them in the street. After the video surfaced on Twitter, he spoke about the game he played with the fans at an event for his Novak Djokovic Foundation (NDF) on Tuesday. “It was spontaneous, first time I saw someone playing tennis in the neighborhood,” Djokovic said, according to Sasa Ozmo of Sports Klub....

Fukunaga rose to prominence in both film and television thanks to his first feature film Sin Nombre and directing True Detective’s first season, before obtaining his biggest project when he took over James Bond’s 25th movie. However, according to some sources, his alarming behavior extends all the way to the set of his latest project, Apple TV Plus’ Masters of the Air. Allegations against Fukunaga first started to pop up in media shortly after No Time to Die’s premiere last October, when actor Raeden Greer accused the director of firing her from True Detective after pressuring her to film a topless scene not stipulated in the terms of her contract....

Andy Carroll, who has hit a purple patch at the perfect time as he bids to win a spot in Roy Hodgson’s England squad for Euro 2016, hit his sixth goal in last five league games with an awkward looking volley to open the scoring after 11 minutes. Noble scored twice from the penalty spot either side of halftime before Sebastian Proedl swept home after 64 minutes to reduce the deficit....

City captain Vincent Kompany said Pep Guardiola’s side “ran out of steam” after Johann Gudmundsson struck in the 83rd-minute to snatch a point. The Premier League leaders had gone ahead through Danilo’s long-range beauty and saw several chances to consolidate their lead pass by, none more gilt-edged than a Raheem Sterling miss from barely a yard out. City remain in the hunt for silverware on four fronts this season, having progressed to the EFL Cup final and through the last-16 in the FA Cup and Champions League, with Guardiola using a rare free week to relax....

Naturally, things get more complicated with each region, and the Sciropescire arc marks a real turning point for Eivor and the player.
