Japan's B-Girl Ami Yuasa Makes History with Olympic Gold in Breaking #paris2024 #olympics
Japan's Ami Yuasa, also known as B-Girl Ami, showcased a blend of artistry and athleticism to win the first-ever Olympic gold medal for breaking on Friday. In a gripping final against Lithuania's Dominika Banevic, known as B-Girl Nicka, Yuasa secured a 3-0 victory with her impressive air flairs and a series of halos, bringing the audience at La Concorde to their feet. Yuasa, celebrated for her footwork, flow, and diverse range of moves, was fully in sync with the pulsating soundtrack during the intense battle. Her joy was evident when the competition's two MCs raised her arms in victory, reminiscent of a prizefighter’s triumph, on a stage that combined elements of a disco dance floor with a mixed martial arts octagon. Japan’s B-Girl Ami won the first-ever gold medal in breaking at the Paris Olympics 2024 on Friday. B-Girl Ami, or Ami Yuasa as commonly known, defeated Lithuania’s Dominika Banevič—B-Girl Nicka—with a 3-0 victory in the final. Bedecked in a pink sweatsuit and white hat, Yuasa impressed the judges with her performance. The dancers’ performance is judged on creativity, technique, variety, and musicality. She won all three of her preliminary battles. The Japanese breakdancer breezed through the quarterfinals and semifinals to reach the final. In the semifinals, B-Girl Ami overcame fan favourite Syssy—Sya Dembele—3-0 and then secured her place in the final with a 2-1 victory over India Sardjoe from the Netherlands. China’s Liu Qingyi—B-Girl 671—claimed the bronze medal with a 2-1 win over India in the battle for third place. Breaking made a high-energy Olympic debut accompanied by backflips, DJs, plenty of style and a cameo from U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg at the Paris Games, providing an entertaining first impression for a sport that does not know when another chance will come. Breaking made it from its New York roots to the highest level of sports on Friday and took center stage at La Concorde in Paris in an event that felt more like a summer block party than the Olympic Games at times. Japanese B-girl Ami won the first Olympic gold medal in breaking, sweeping to a 3-0 victory in her battle against reigning world champion Nicka of Lithuania in the final round. The atmosphere was electric at Place de la Concorde in Paris as breakdancing - known at Paris 2024 as breaking - made its Olympic debut. In the women's event, Japan's B-Girl Ami (Ami Yuasa) captured the gold medal, while China's B-Girl 671 (Liu Qingyi) clinched the bronze. B-Girl Ami, donning her oversized hoodie, signature baseball cap, and big earrings, dominated Group C after the round robin, defeating B-Girl Anti of Italy, Morocco's B-Girl Elmamouny, and China's B-Girl Ying Zi (Zeng Yingying), losing only two judges' votes. The urban sport of breaking spun its way onto the Olympic stage for the first and possibly last time, with Japan’s B-Girl Ami winning the inaugural women’s gold. Breaking, better known as breakdancing, made its debut amid the grand elegance of Paris’s Place de la Concorde, with 17 dancers known as B-Girls going head-to-head in a series of battles on Friday. Japan’s b-girl Ami won gold at the Olympics ' first breaking event by spinning, flipping and toprocking past a field of 16 dancers Friday in a high-energy competition that may not return for future Games. Ami, legally named Ami Yuasa, won all three rounds in a battle against b-girl Nicka (Dominika Banevič) from Lithuania to clinch the gold, wrapping up a long day of breakers putting hip-hop culture on the Olympic stage with their flow, rhythm and skill at Place de la Concorde stadium. A 25-year-old from Japan won the first Olympic gold medal in breaking Friday night at the 2024 Paris Games. B-Girl Ami, whose legal name is Ami Yuasa, defeated B-Girl Nicka of Lithuania in the gold-medal battle at La Concorde, drawing oohs and aahs from the crowd with a combination of power moves and top-rocking style. B-Girl 671 of China defeated B-Girl India of the Netherlands to win bronze, while the two Americans in the 16-woman field, B-Girl Sunny and B-Girl Logistx, both failed to advance past the round-robin stage. https://youtu.be/aBor9laEO6I Terrifying Scene French Athlete Alessia Zarbo Collapses During 10,000m Final #paris2024 #olympics

The fight takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. ERROL SPENCE RECORD AND BIO Nationality: American Date of birth: March 3, 1990 Height: 5' 9" Reach: 72.5" Total fights: 28 Record: 28-0 (22 KOs) TERENCE CRAWFORD RECORD AND BIO Nationality: American Date of birth: September 28, 1987 Height: 5' 8" Reach: 74 Total fights: 39 Record: 39-0 (30 KOs) ERROL SPENCE VS. TERENCE CRAWFORD CARD Errol Spence vs. Terence Crawford; For the IBF, WBA, WBC and WBO world welterweight titles Errol Spence Jr and Terence Crawford will square off in Las Vegas tonight, in one of the biggest fights of this generation. Fans have waited for this bout for years, and finally it has materialised, with the unbeaten Americans clashing on Saturday to crown an undisputed welterweight champion. Spence, 33, is the WBC, WBA and IBF champion, while Crawford, 35, holds the WBO title. Spence will carry a professional record of 28-0 (22 knockouts) into the T-Mobile Arena, while Crawford is 39-0 (30 KOs). Spence has not fought since April 2022, when he stopped Yordenis Ugas to collect the WBA belt, while Crawford most recently competed in December, retaining his title with a knockout of David Avanesyan. It took more than five years for the eagerly awaited summit meeting between the undefeated American welterweights Errol Spence and Terence Crawford to finally come together. Now that it’s here, all signs indicate Saturday night’s delicious matchup for the undisputed championship in boxing’s glamour division will have been worth the wait. Crawford, a former champion at 135lbs and 140lbs from Omaha, has campaigned in the same weight class as Spence since 2018, when he moved up to capture the WBO’s version of the title at 147lbs. By that point Spence, a 2012 US Olympian from the Dallas suburb of DeSoto, was already the IBF’s welterweight champion following his clinical dismantling of Kell Brook at Bramall Lane one year earlier, and has since added the WBC and WBA straps. That means the winner of their scheduled 12-round bout at the T-Mobile Arena on Saturday along the sweltering Las Vegas strip, where the temperatures have tickled above 110F (43C) all week, will become the first man to unify all four major welterweight title belts. He will also stake a credible claim, alongside Japanese terror Naoya Inoue, as the world’s best prizefighter at any weight. But the best fight that boxing can deliver might have never happened at all if Crawford hadn’t picked up the phone back in March. It’s rare enough that two boxers at or near the top of the sport’s pound-for-pound list compete in the same weight class and rarer still that both are roughly the same age. A summit meeting between Spence and Crawford for all the welterweight marbles has been a no-brainer for years. But Spence is promoted by Premier Boxing Champions while Crawford spent most of his career with Top Rank: rival promotional companies who rarely cross the street to do business with each other. Just when it seemed like it might be dying on the vine like so many other would-be blockbusters, a path forward emerged when Crawford reached out Spence on Facetime for a half-hour conversation in March to hash out the details. From there it wasn’t long before concessions were made, terms were agreed upon and the fight was made. Vegas when it sizzles. The two-month promotion has been one defined by mutual admiration, a respectful tenor that was on full display at Friday’s ceremonial weigh-in when Spence and Crawford made the divisional limit (having stepped on the scale behind closed doors for the Nevada Athletic Commission a few hours earlier) in front of several thousand spectators before coming together for one of the more wholesome staredowns in recent memory. #errolspencejr vs. #terencecrawford #spencecrawford

NBA Greatest Duels: Kobe Bryant vs Antawn Jamison (2001) 51 points each!
- Shortly before the final minutes of their breathtaking, historic duel, Kobe Bryant leaned over to Antawn Jamison and winked. "I'm not going to let you outshine me tonight," Bryant said. The NBA scoring leader was wrong -- but not by much. Jamison scored 51 points for the second time in four days and won a scintillating battle with Bryant as the Golden State Warriors rallied in overtime for a 125-122 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night. Bryant also had a career-high 51 points, but Jamison matched Bryant's every move. It was the first NBA game in which two players scored 50 points since Dec. 14, 1962, when Wilt Chamberlain had 63 for the Warriors and Elgin Baylor scored 50 for the Lakers. "It seemed like the clock was going in slow-motion," Jamison said. "It seemed like we were throwing punches, and they came back throwing punches. "It was a great game to be in. It's one of those special moments you're going to cherish for a while." The final minutes of regulation and overtime indeed resembled a prizefight, with Jamison and Bryant going toe-to-toe. With the Lakers trailing in the final three minutes of overtime, Jamison and Bryant traded six straight high-pressure scores as the Oakland Arena roared with wild applause for both players. But the Lakers' Horace Grant missed a layup with six seconds left, and Jamison ripped the rebound away from Bryant. After Bob Sura made one free throw for Golden State, Bryant's long 3-pointer at the buzzer missed. "It just hurts to lose," Bryant said. "Forget the 50 points. It just hurts to lose this type of ballgame." Jamison, who went 21-of-29 from the field, scored 51 in a loss at Seattle on Sunday night to set his career high. He became the first player to score 50 points in consecutive games since Michael Jordan, who did it three straight times in April 1987. "Jamison can play. He can play, man," Bryant said. "That's the first time I've been involved in a game like that." Bryant, who set his previous career high with 43 last week against San Antonio, was 13-of-13 on free throws. Fifty-one points are the most scored by anyone in the NBA this season. "I never imagined having a game like that, and I bet Kobe didn't either," Jamison said. "Earlier (in the game), I wasn't even feeling it. I wasn't trying to do anything out of the ordinary. It just happened." Shaquille O'Neal had 25 points and 10 rebounds for the Lakers, who lost for just the second time in 10 games. Golden State got 24 points from Larry Hughes and snapped a six-game losing streak against the world champions. "It seemed like everything Jamison threw up went in, but they just played with a lot more enthusiasm than we did," O'Neal said. Sura had 16 points for Golden State, and Mookie Blaylock added 11 points and 10 assists. The win was redemption for the Warriors after last month's 111-91 loss at Staples Center. Though they're still at the bottom of the Pacific Division, the Warriors are showing progress -- and Jamison is showing signs of greatness. He became the first Golden State player to score more than 50 points in consecutive games since Rick Barry in 1967. "(Bryant) played a great game, but it was Jamison's night tonight," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. "He was 21-of-29, and we just had a hard time putting the clamps on him." The Warriors looked strong during a first half in which they shot 61 percent and led 63-57, their best offensive output in any half this season. The Lakers jumped ahead with a 21-6 run early in the third quarter, but the Warriors finished regulation with a desperate 12-3 rally, led by six points from Jamison. O'Neal committed a flagrant foul on Vonteego Cummings with 1:33 left, and Cummings' free throws tied the score at 107. The teams were scoreless until the regulation buzzer, with Cummings missing a wild layup with 2.5 seconds left and Bryant coming up short on a jumper as time expired. The Lakers showed some early fatigue, likely from Tuesday night's 96-85 victory over Philadelphia. Los Angeles' three-game winning streak was snapped. Chris Mills didn't dress for Golden State with a sore right ankle, and rookie Chris Porter started in his place.

The boxing film that was banned around the world
In 1910, boxing heavyweight champion Jack Johnson defeated Jim Jeffries in the "Battle of the Century," and the nation erupted. Subscribe to Vox and turn on notifications (🔔) so you don't miss any videos: http://goo.gl/0bsAjO On December 26, 1908, American boxer Jack Johnson became the first Black heavyweight champion of the world, after defeating defending champion Tommy Burns in a title fight in Sydney, Australia. Black fighters were typically denied the chance to win the heavyweight title, a de-facto line of segregation that was known as “the color line.” So when Burns accepted Johnson’s challenge and lost, the film that was distributed around the fight proved controversial. The white boxing world set out to find a white heavyweight to beat Johnson and take back the title. That white fighter ended up being James Jeffries, a former heavyweight champion who had retired undefeated. Their fight, hyped as the “Battle of the Century,” took place in Reno, Nevada, on July 4, 1910, in front of 20,000 mostly-white spectators and nine motion picture cameras. Throughout the nation, many thousands more listened to live telegram bulletins of each round. Johnson beat Jeffries easily, and, as a result, racist mob violence broke out across the country, and Black Americans celebrating Johnson’s win were attacked, and some were killed. The film of the fight became notorious worldwide and was the most talked-about motion picture of its time. Johnson lost the heavyweight title in 1915 after successfully defending it eight times, but remained an inspiration for many fighters to come.
