Controversial F1 Halo Safety System Saved Zhou Guanyu’s Life
Chinese driver Zhou Guanyu praised Formula One’s halo head protection system as it saved the driver after being involved in an opening lap accident during the F1 Grand Prix of Great Britain. Zhou’s car is seen flying upside down across the Silverstone track before being wedged between the tire and barrier and catch fencing. Mercedes driver George Russell, who collided with Zhou, instantly got out of his car during the Red Flag to check up on the Chinese driver. Russell called it “one of the scariest crashes I’ve ever seen.” Russell further added that F1 could learn from the crash, “It was horrible, in that position he was stuck there, (there was) nothing he could have done. The space between the barriers and the metal fence, and he was just stuck in there, nowhere to go. Yeah, something to...

Novak Djokovic Defeats Nick Kyrgios to Win 21st Grand Slam Title
Novak Djokovic bested Nick Kyrgios at Wimbledon 2022 to win his 21st overall Grand Slam and fourth consecutive Wimbledon titles. The Serbian tennis player, who previously missed the 2022 Australian Open, returned victorious and defeated Kyrgios 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (3). This gives Djokovic his seventh singles title and 21st Grand Slam win, inching closer to Roger Federer’s total of eight and Rafael Nadal’s total of 22, respectively. He also joins Pete Sampras, Federer and Bjorn Borg as only the fourth male tennis player to win four straight Wimbledon titles. Although Djokovic has Wimbledon in the bag, it remains unclear whether he will be flying to the United States for the 2022 US Open — the final Grand Slam tournament of the year — due to his vaccination status and the country’s vaccine ma...

Adidas “Pitch, Please” Gives Womxn, Girls and Non-Binary Players Equal Playing Pitch Access
With the UEFA Women’s Euro England 2022 tournament well underway, adidas has introduced its “Pitch, Please” initiative that enables Non-Binary, womxn and girl players to enjoy and gain fair access to football pitches in the United Kingdom. When it comes to football, women, girls and those who identify as Non-Binary are often at an unfair disadvantage, as pitch access is often dedicated to legacy bookings and those who already have teams. New players and teams, particularly if it’s a womxns-only team, therefore have restricted access, making the game (that has seen diversity improvements in recent years) become less inclusive than desired. As adidas notes, “Research has found that 59% of teenage girls who used to be interested in sport drop out due to inadequate opportunities and facilities...

The Suns, Raptors, Heat and Warriors Are Reportedly at Forefront to Trade for Kevin Durant
With the recent news that Kevin Durant has requested a trade from Brooklyn Nets, sports fans and analysts are placing their bets on which team he will land in for the upcoming NBA season. When KD and Kyrie Irving joined the Nets in 2019, the franchise had hope to bring in a super team that would take them to the Finals. However, after a couple of unsuccessful seasons, Durant seems ready to move on. The two-time NBA champion is currently under contract, specifically a four-year extension, which gives Nets the ability to not trade him. However, the other option is to trade him to a team that will offer the best package. According to NBA insider Shams Charania, there are many times vying for KD however, the ones most probable to be at the forefront of the conversation are the Phoenix Suns, To...
