I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND A PLAYLIST FOR THIS COMPETITION. BUT EMBEDDED IN ITS ENDLESS LIST OF "VIDEOS" AND "LIVE" STREAMS ARE INNUMERABLE VIDEOS COVERING THIS COMPETITION. WHAT IS PROVIDED BELOW IS THE APPROXIMATELY 45-70 MINUTE HIGHLIGHTS FROM EACH DAY. HOPEFULLY, THEY WILL GIVE YOU A FLAVOR FOR THE COMPETITION. COMMENTARY IS IN HINDI AND SOME ENGLISH, BUT, AS THE OLD SAYING GOES, A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS IN ANY LANGUAGE.

FINAL:

PANAMA 3
NICARGAGUA 1

Aguilas Metropolitanas barely made the semi-finals with a 2-3 Round Robin League record. Then in the Semi-Final, they pulled off the upset of the Tournament, crushing Curacao 7-0. It was Curacao's only loss in the Tournament. They dominated the League phase (5-4, 3-0, 15-2, 12-2, 11-8 [v Panama]--46-16 total score). Then, in the Final, Nicaragua, who had pounded Panama 11-5 three days earlier, was throttled by 3 AM pitchers, holding  them to 5 hits. Nicaragua's only run came via 2 singles sandwiched around 2 walks in the 3rd inning. But with 2 outs and the bases loaded, Kevin Rodriguez struck out Emmanuel Trujillo (who batted .429 with a 1.690 OPS, and hit 4 home runs, with 10 RBIs in 6 games) to end the threat.

The US Open is one of the PGA's most prestigious Tournaments, having been played annually (with 3 exceptions) since 1941 (see below).
 
E.J. Tackett won his 2nd US Open in 3 years, along with a $100,000 payday. He did it the hard way, after finding himself buried in 78th place after two rounds of play, nearly 200 pins outside the cut, before he roared back to win.

John Janawicz (USBC) and Nathan Smith (USBC) bowled perfect (300) games.

(1--CLUB, HOLE BY HOLE); (2--CITY--WIKIPEDIA)

A-Lim Kim won the Tournament of Champions with a -20 par score on the par 72 course. Nelly Korda finished 2nd, 2 strokes behind. Kim won $300,000. Korda won $227,854. Though Kim was in command from early 1st Day to end, she fought off a tenacious final round challenge from Korda (trailing by 8 strokes on Day 3), during which the runner up moved into a tie for the lead on the 15th hole. But Kim responded with Birdies on the 16th (20 foot putt) to retake a 2 stroke lead, and a magnificent 25 foot Birdie on the 18th to win.

ENGLISH BILLIARDS: MEN'S 2025 UK OPEN--WALSALL, UK--JANUARY 24-26, 2025

HOW ENGLISH BILLIARDS IS PLAYED (WORLD BILLIARDS VIDEO)

RULES OF BILLIARDS (.PDF FORMAT, 81P.--ENGLISH BILLIARDS P. 48-81) (WORLD BILLIARDS)

===================

LANDYWOOD SNOOKER CLUB, WALSALL UK (1--CLUB--WORLD PROFESSIONAL BILLIARDS AND SNOOKER ASSOCIATION--WPBSA) (2--CITY--WIKIPEDIA)

The best way by for a beginner to understand how this incredibly precision sport works, look at the "How English Billiards is Played" video above (about 5 and 1/2 minutes) before proceeding to watch any of the games linked to below.  

Games were played by a clock rather than up to a score. Each game lasted 90 minutes.

David Causier (#1) and Peter Gilcrhist (#2) are the highest ranking players in the sport, so it is not surprising that they would contest the final. 

NOTE: SOURCE FOR ALL: WORLD BILLIARDS

JANUARY 26, 2025

FINAL: 

DAVID CAUSIER   875 (140; 302; 117; 163; 73)
PETER GILCHRIST 388 (58, 294)

NOTE THAT THE NUMBERS IN PARENTHESES ARE THE HIGH BREAKS OF OVER 50 POINTS AT THE TABLE, IN THE ORDER THEY OCCURED. IN THE ENTIRE TOURNAMENT 



IN THE 135 GAMES PLAYED AMONG 56 PLAYERS, THERE WERE 5 INSTANCES OF 300 OR MORE HIGH BREAKS. CAUSiER HAD THEM ALL (363; 339; 311; 305; AND 302), THERE WERE 10 HIGH BREAKS OF 200-299. CAUSIER HAD 5 OF THOSE (299; 279; 258; 208; AND 204).

AS FAR AS GILCRHIST IS CONCERNED, HIS HIGHEST BREAK WAS 294 IN THE FINAL, BUT HE IS THE ONLY PLAYER TO EVER MAKE 1,000 OR MORE. HE HAS DONE THAT TWICE.

BIATHLON--IBU OPEN EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS, MARTELL (ITALY)--JANUARY 29-FEBRUARY 2, 2025

BIATHLON RULES (2025) (.PDF FORMAT, 84P.) (INTERNATIONAL BIATHLON UNION)

RULES ANNEXES (NOVEMBER 2024) (.PDF FORMAT, 48P.) (IBU)


===================

BIATHLON CENTER GROG, MARTELL, ITALY  (1--COURSE--MARTELL.IT) (2--CITY--WIKIPEDIA)

This was one of the major events of the 2024-25 World Cup Season. Biathlon is made up of two disciplines, Cross Country Skiing and Target Shooting. The Cross Country starts the competition. It contains a certain number of loops around the course. Each loop is followed by a "shooting gallery" where there are 5 targets. Shooting is done either standing or prone after each loop. The penalty for missing the target is either a time penalty or skiing around a penalty loop. (More on how this works for each competition and gender is shown on a great table--P.8 of the rule book above.) 

Either way time is added to the total by missing shots. In fact, if you watch closely, you will see that it is the shooting that is the crucial factor. (See the ski time and the result time for Anna-Karin Heijdenberg in the full results for the Women's 15 KM below for an example of this).  

Watching these fantastic skiers get their hearts racing and then stop, take a couple of breaths to calm themselves, and then hit any targets at all, much less 5, is a true testament to the fitness it takes to compete at this level.

FOR AN OVERVIEW OF THE COMPETITION, WIKIPEDIA HAS A WELL ORGANIZED, EASY TO FOLLOW ENTRY.
