FINAL:

CANADA 3
UNITED STATES 2
OVERTIME

Connor McDavid scored on an uncontested short shot in overtime to lead Canada to a 3-2 win over USA,  to win the inaugural 4 Nations Face-Off, the National Hockey League's answer to the recent tendency of American sports leagues to try to "jazz up" their All Star Game's dying concept. Whereas the three major sports leagues in the USA have gone for non game gimmicks, an outright different game from the one they play during the season, or completely ditching the concept of defense, the NHL seems to have discovered a formula that works. And did it ever! 

Since the NHL has such a diversity of North American and European players, the League decided to split their All Stars into 4 "National" teams: Canada, Finland, Sweden, and USA. The games immediately took on a playoff intensity, as Nationalism is still a strong force in the world. Perhaps even as strong as money. 

USA started 3 fights with Canada within the first 9 seconds of their game. No sport has more tolerance for fighting, and this was a doozie. USA turned the tough guy adrenaline into a 3-1 win in front of a disappointed Montreal Bell Centre crowd. 

When the two teams met again in the Final, it was all hockey, no fights (there was one penalty in the entire game), and a fantastic display of what humans on ice skates, traveling at quite unbelievable speeds can do with a stick and a piece of hard rubber. The speed of the game takes your breath away.  (In my opinion it is impossible to appreciate the speed of this game watching on a mobile phone or even a 100 inch TV. Try attending an NHL game to begin to understand.) 

The Tournament was a tremendous success. The country that invented the game sang its National Anthem in a TD Garden that was emptied of disappointed USA fans. Ice Hockey fans can't wait for next year's encore.

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.

GRIDIRON FOOTBALL--SUPERBOWL LIX (59)--US NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE, FEBRUARY 9, 2025

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

SUPERDOME (AKA CAESARS SUPERDOME, WKA MERCEDES-BENZ SUPERDOME AND LOUISIANA SUPERDOME) (1--STADIUM--WIKIPEDIA)(2--CITY--WIKIPEDIA)

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES 40 (OFFICIAL TEAM WEBSITE)
KANSAS CITY 22 (OFFICIAL TEAM WEBSITE

The Philadelphia Eagles Derailed Kansas City's hopes of becoming the first team in the Superbowl era (1966-present) to win three consecutive NFL Championships. The Eagles did it in blow out fashion, leading 40-6 before KC scored two meaningless touchdowns in garbage time. It was the Eagles 5th overall NFL Championship since entering the League in 1933 (1948--Chicago Cardinals, 1949 --Los Angeles Rams, 1960--Green Bay Packers, 2017--New England Patriots, and 2024). The Green Bay Packers remain the only team in NFL history to win 3 consecutive League Championships (1929-31--no League Championship game played, and 1965-67–Cleveland Browns, Kansas City, Oakland Raiders). 

Kansas City, originally the Dallas Texans of the American Football League  (1960-1962), relocated to KC in 1963. KC has won 2 AFL Championships (1962--Houston Oilers, 1969--Oakland Raiders) and 3 Superbowl Championships (1969--Minnesota Vikings, 2022--Philadelphia Eagles, 2023--San Francisco 49ers).

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.
