While competitive surfing tends to draw more attention during Summer Olympics years, it’s not a once-every-four-years sport. There are many competitive surfing events year-round, including nine competitions for the Championship Tour (CT), finishing up with the Lexus World Surf League Finals. But one question that may come to your mind when you hear about competitive

Making eye contact with your gym crush in the weight room mirror. Scraping your shins when pulling the deadlift bar. There’s no shortage of things that can make you uncomfortable at the gym.

Slightly strapped for time? Look to Jake Dupree for a fun-filled oblique workout that’s only a mere ten minutes. In the session, Jake is assisted by Lily Huber, who does the movements full out, and Rehima Jordan, who shows modifications for each technique throughout the class. If there’s any part of the class where you

Yes, the Olympics have ended. And yes, it was incredible to watch. But if one more person asks, “What am I going to do now that the Olympics are over?” I think I’m going to scream. For equal opportunists like myself, the answer to that question is pretty obvious: watch the Paralympics (starting Aug. 28).

You don’t have to be a fan of the WNBA to have noticed its rise in popularity over the past few years. Game attendance is at an all-time high since the 1990s and viewership is up 183 percent from last season, per ESPN. It’s remarkable, to say the least. But I didn’t realize just how

There were less than 10 minutes left in the semifinal round of the women’s Olympic surfing event in August 2024, and US surfer Caroline Marks was two points behind French athlete Johanne Defay when she saw the good wave coming and took it.

The transition from being a star collegiate athlete to a rookie on a professional team can be rocky, regardless of your sport or your gender. But in the small and hyper-competitive WNBA (just twelve teams with twelve players each) — that transition can be especially challenging. Often, teams only have capacity to sign one or

Over the years, I’ve tried various fitness classes ranging from HIIT, dance cardio, and indoor cycling to lower impact workouts like Pilates and yoga, mixing in weightlifting and treadmill work at the gym. I’d never enjoyed a workout enough to commit to a full membership — until I tried F45 Training in late 2022. A

Grace Bundy, 28, has a unique relationship with the floor. Growing up naturally tall and bendy (which she would later learn at 19 was a manifestation of Ehler’s Danlos syndrome), her parents enrolled her in competitive gymnastics. She spent countless hours bending her body to the floor’s demands in order to defy gravity and land

One of the most wow-worthy moments of the Olympic Games in Paris came during one of Team USA Artistic Swimming’s performance.

The Olympics brings the world’s greatest athletic talents to the same stage, creating an unique energy that’s based on equal parts competitive spirit and genuine admiration. And this year, a new sport is entering the international arena: breaking, commonly known as breakdancing, is the newest Olympic sport, after having been added to the Paris 2024

In Paris, the final day of the Olympic Games for Team USA Women’s Gymnastics took an unexpected turn for one gymnast in particular — Jordan Chiles. During the women’s floor exercise final event on Aug. 5, Team USA put on a strong showing — and so did several other gymnasts, including Rebecca Andrade with Team
