When @lindseyvonn talks about skiing again as she approaches yet another (and hopefully last) surgery, it feels life-affirming. We crash...we rise...@TheAthletic

Alexander Zverev's stranger, meandering and unpredictable rise to the top of the tennis world. A strange world No. 1 in a strange year for the sport. @TheAthletic

Lots of emotions for me on the marathon course yesterday, especially at one spot near Sloan Kettering. @TheAthletic

Lots of people try to take credit for a five-borough NYC Marathon. Its true hero was a soft-spoken, less well-known outrageously strong and fast Olympian named Ted Corbitt. @TheAthletic @nycmarathon

Run the @nycmarathon a lot and you fall in love with so many special spots along the way. In honor of 50 years of 5 boroughs, here's 50 great spots. @TheAthletic

Asked @michaelkosta, an actual former nationally ranked jr. from the MW, about Ramaswamy's strokes. "Just awful strokes. Completely inefficient, with some wild movements that make no sense. And will eventually in the near future will lead to injury."

Ramaswamy, another billionaire not as good at tennis as he wants you to think he is @TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/7737362…
At 20, when NYC marathoner Danish Hussain Yar of Afghanistan landed in Ithaca to attend Cornell, she got to run outside for the first time in her life, fulfilling a dream. Think about that. @TheAthletic

Not sure if there is a more inspiring runner in the NYC26.2 this weekend than Danish Hussain Yar, an Afgahni refugee with an assylum case pending. Can we get this woman a green card? i think she's going places.@nyrr @nycmarathon

It's long past time for tennis to make some rule changes that protect fans and workers on the court, including kids. @TheAthletic

Mikaela Shiffrin has said for years she does not ski for the medals but for the challenges. It was a little hard to believe at times. It isn't anymore, as she steps back from her specialty to focus on the stuff she is less great at. @TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/7663819…
Novak Djokovic is on the verge of another record, though the one he had was pretty cool, but it’s possible keeping it would have meant not playing a favorite tournament again. And therein is the conundrum of life as the aging GOAT. @TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/7653509…

In researching this story on the new Inner Game app, I used it to see if it would help my tennis and running. I think it has -- and it brought back memories of hippie tennis instructors from my youth. @TheAthletic

This is the coolest graphical sports project I've ever been involved with. @TheAthletic
