If you watched the Olympics, you know who Caroline Harvey and Laila Edwards are. You heard their names chanted countless times as Team USA powered through the tournament. You heard those chants again when gold medals were placed around their necks, and you watched Harvey be named tournament MVP. And if you're active on social media, you may have even caught their pregame TikToks, too. What you may not know is how long the two have been friends.

Some players generate hype. Others just show up and produce. Laila Edwards is firmly in the second category. The young American forward has quickly become one of the most impactful rising players in women’s hockey thanks to a blend of size, skill, and on-ice instincts that coaches can’t teach. Whether she’s wearing a Team USA jersey on the international stage or competing with the University of Wisconsin, Edwards plays a pro-style game that translates at every level.

A junior at Georgia, Smith is one of the best and most consistent collegiate gymnasts in the nation. She's a five-time All-American, has reached perfection, has competed at nationals, and has done beam on a skyscraper! Thanks to Red Bull, I had the opportunity to sit down with Smith and discuss her gymnastics career, goals, NIL (name, image, and likeness), and the advice she'd give to younger gymnasts.

Don't let the excitement of the Olympics distract you from the start of the indoor track and field season.

With the Seattle Seahawks winning Super Bowl LX, it's critical to recognize how they got there. Their 29-13 win against the New England Patriots showed just how dominant they were this season.

When anybody mentions skiing, it’s impossible not to think of Lindsey Vonn. One of only 6 women to win a World Championship in all 5 disciplines of Alpine Skiing, Vonn has cemented herself as a name to know in the skiing world, but that’s not all she’s known for. Vonn may be decorated with every medal imaginable, but she has also seen her fair share of injuries, and, even at age 41, is showing the world that every athlete is still human.

In 2020, Landeskog was injured when his teammate's skate blade sliced his kneecap, causing significant cartilage damage. What followed was a series of surgeries and a determination to return to the game he loved. After the injury, Landeskog underwent a minor procedure before returning and ultimately leading the Colorado Avalanche to hoisting the Stanley Cup in June of 2022. At the time, it appeared to be a triumphant return, but in reality, it marked the beginning of an even

It was a lifelong dream come true. Going to the Super Bowl was something I had imagined since I was a kid, not just watching it on TV, but being there, feeling it, living inside the moment. And somehow, improbably, I got to experience it the best way possible: sitting beside my dad, the person who first taught me what this game meant.

In honor of the NBA All-Star weekend and reaching the halfway point of the NCAA gymnastics season, I thought it would be fun to create lineups for an NCAA gymnastics All-Star competition!
