By PAT GRAHAM and KATE BRUMBACK PARIS — Concerns about the water quality in the Seine River led officials to call off the swimming portion of an Olympic triathlon training session for a second straight day Monday. Organizers overseeing the event at the Paris Games are optimistic that triathletes will be able to swim in the city’s famed waterway when the competition starts Tuesday. The sport’s governing body, World Triathlon, its medical team and city officials are banking on sunny weather and higher temperatures to bring the bacteria levels below the necessary limits to stage the swim portion of the race, which also includes biking and running. World Triathlon made the decision to cancel the swim workout early Monday following a meeting over water quality in the Seine, which is closely linked to the weather.

  • Nuggets Journal: Can Nikola Jokic defy expectations and narratives enough to win 4th MVP?
    Denver Post, Friday - 11/08/2024 - 07:45 AM

    The more MVP trophies an NBA player possesses, the more improbable it becomes that he will secure another. Whether it’s fair or not, that tends to be the reality. It was undoubtedly among the reasons Nikola Jokic wasn’t the most popular preseason pick to win the award in 2024-25, despite having monopolized it the last four years. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Luka Doncic have maintained a firm lead in betting odds.

  • Broncos Journal: Denver’s defensive core can be good long-term, but can it shrink gap to Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs?
    Denver Post, Friday - 11/08/2024 - 07:45 AM

    Residing in the AFC West this decade comes with the most fundamental of football truths. No. 15 in Kansas City influences everything that everybody does to some degree or another. Patrick Mahomes could retire at the end of this year and waltz into the Hall of Fame on the first ballot. At 29, though, there’s also a possibility he will play for another decade or more. Tom Brady, for example, played 13 years in New England after his age-29 season and 16 more total. If Mahomes plays five years shorter than that, though age 40 — where Aaron Rodgers is right now — he’ll still be taking snaps during the 2035 season. As he and Kansas City chase a third straight Super Bowl title, Mahomes and the Chiefs put pressure on everybody else in the division.
