  • Remembering Alex Zanardi: Italy's Auto-Racing Champion, Who Won Paralympic Gold, Passes Away At 59

    Alex Zanardi, the Italian auto racing champion-turned-Paralympic gold medalist whose career was marked by two life-altering accidents, has died. He was 59. Zanardi’s family announced his death on Saturday, saying that he passed away on Friday night. In 2020, Zanardi was seriously injured in a hand bike accident after crashing into an oncoming truck during a relay event in Tuscany. Zanardi suffered serious facial and cranial trauma in the crash and was put in a medically induced coma. Nearly 20 years earlier, Zanardi lost both of his legs in an auto racing crash.

    Leeds United took a massive step towards confirming its Premier League status after a comfortable 3-1 victory over Burnley on Friday. The win almost certainly guarantees top tier football at Elland Road next season. Leeds moved nine points clear of Tottenham Hotspur, the team occupying the third and last relegation spot. Daniel Farke’s men improved to 14th place, above Newcastle, Nottingham Forest and West Ham, all of whom have a game in hand. The bottom two, Wolves and Burnley, are already going down.

  • Orlando Magic 79-93 Detroit Pistons, NBA 2026 Playoffs: Cunningham's 32 Points Steers Side To Victory

    Cade Cunningham scored 32 points and the top-seeded Detroit Pistons pulled off an incredible rally Friday night, erasing a 24-point deficit and beating the Orlando Magic 93-79 to force a Game 7 in their Eastern Conference first-round series. Detroit trailed by 22 at the half and Orlando’s lead went to 62-38 early in the third quarter.

    Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians sweated it out at the nets in their respective practice sessions on Friday (May 1) ahead of a blockbuster Indian Premier League 2026 face-off at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
