Donald Trump is a longtime regular at UFC fights, but his appearance tonight turning #ufc309 into a victory lap is unusual even compared with those prior events. Cabinet nominees, a sizzle reel & other moments have made this pretty much a political rally.

Trump jetted from Florida to watch UFC 309 in New York, reveling in his first public appearance at a major sporting event since his victory.

So cool that this is the second time @flickrecipes has found an owl in NYC, both in Riverside Park. This Barn owl is definitely rare. Add it to the long list of owls capturing hearts in the city.

First, here's the full 29-page detailed ruling. It says, among other things, that FIG didn't keep track of the timing of the inquiry, and didn't know the name of the official to took it from Chiles' coach.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport dropped a wild summary of its Jordan Chiles ruling where it effectively blamed the International Gymnastics Federation for the whole debacle. CAS said it was open to giving 3 bronzes, but FIG said that was untenable. 🧵

"Sandstorm" has become the unofficial anthem of Copa America. So of course @MLSist talked with @Darudevil about how his ubiquitous song blew up all over sports. "What on earth creates that weird, strange, hyped reaction in people? I have no idea."

My favorite part about the goal just now in the #stanleycupfinal was definitely the two errant sticks on the ice.
