OLY--LUG-MILAN CORTINA-RUSSIA

Russian lugers plan to race in Lake Placid next week. Ukrainian sliders say it shouldn’t be allowed

SUMMARY: Russian athletes have informed the International Luge Federation that they have obtained visas to compete in a World Cup race in Lake Placid, New York, next weekend. Ukrainian athletes believe this is unfair. The Russians aim to qualify for the Milan Cortina Olympics in February. They haven’t competed in a World Cup luge race since Russia invaded Ukraine nearly four years ago. Ukrainian athlete Anton Dukach argues that the Russians are not neutral, despite competing under a neutral flag. The International Olympic Committee wants Russians to compete as neutral athletes, but each sport’s federation controls qualifying events.

FBN--JETS-COOK STARTS

Undrafted rookie quarterback Brady Cook to make first NFL start for Jets against Jaguars

SUMMARY: Undrafted rookie quarterback Brady Cook will make his first NFL start for the New York Jets against the Jaguars on Sunday. Cook took snaps with the starters this week. Tyrod Taylor and Justin Fields were ruled out because of injuries. Cook will become the 55th player to start at quarterback in franchise history and the first undrafted rookie to do so for the Jets since J.J. Jones in 1975. Adrian Martinez will serve as Cook’s backup. Cook stepped in last Sunday after Taylor injured his groin in the Jets’ loss to the Miami Dolphins. The Jets also announced a multiyear contract extension for center Josh Myers.

Owing more between $10M and $50M, Grand Slam Track files for bankruptcy; Johnson vows to press on

SUMMARY: Grand Slam Track, the league fronted by sprint great Michael Johnson that offered six-figure prize money for top runners, has filed for bankruptcy after canceling its final event and failing to pay athletes and vendors.

Johnson says “I refuse to give up on the mission of Grand Slam Track and the future we are building together.”

SKI--WCUP-WOMEN’S DOWNHILL

Remarkable Lindsey Vonn wins World Cup downhill at age 41 to start her Olympic season

SUMMARY: The queen of downhill skiing is well and truly back. Lindsey Vonn has raced to a stunningly fast win in a World Cup downhill at St. Moritz in Switzerland. The 41-year-old United States ski great had taken the lead by an astonishing 1.16 seconds from Mirjam Puchner of Austria. Even wilder was that Vonn trailed by 0.61 after the first two time checks. Vonn’s lead was later cut to 0.98 when unheralded Magdalena Egger took second place from Puchner. Vonn’s 44th career win in World Cup downhills was her first since March 2018.

Fernando Mendoza looking to add a historic Heisman Trophy win for Indiana to his college ride

SUMMARY: Fernando Mendoza is set to be on stage for the Heisman Trophy ceremony, having already won the Associated Press Player of the Year Award.

His season at Indiana has been memorable, with game-winning plays and a Big Ten title. Coach Curt Cignetti’s guidance and Mendoza’s resilience have been key.
