Winter sports’ postseasons have officially begun! Conference championships are happening in three sports this weekend, and while winning doesn’t guarantee teams a spot in their respective national tournaments, this hardware is still a BFD.

The World Athletic Championships began from Budapest, Hungary on Saturday, featuring 100 Division I (DI) athletes running, throwing, and jumping from now until next Sunday — all aiming to qualify for next summer’s Paris Olympics.

The NCAA sponsors 34 coed and nine women’s programs across the three divisions, all competing for the same national championship.

The GIST: Nine days and 78 events later, the 2022 Winter Paralympics finished with yesterday’s Closing Ceremony, but the images of strength and resilience on display in Beijing will last well beyond the Games.

The GIST: After earning each color of medal on day one, Team Canada’s momentum is only building at the Beijing Paralympics.

The GIST: While Canada’s men’s hockey team was eliminated yesterday, the women are 2022 Olympic gold medalists. So nice, we had to write it twice.
