34-year-old Barbara (a Rio 2016 Olympic silver medallist) and Carol had shown they can win on the Beach Pro Tour in the first tournament of the season, in ...

The two are excellent servers and setters and played a very dynamic style of beach volleyball this week in Doha. It was also the first international event in the 37-year-old Kliokmanaite’s career. The Italians have some points in common with Laboureur and Schulz. Their recent union brought together an accomplished veteran and a young, up-and-coming talent. The Brazilians were almost flawless over the entire tournament and saved their best game for last, finishing the week with a comfortable two-set (21-13, 21-13) win against Germans Chantal Laboureur and Sarah Schulz in the gold medal match. Their victory in their first tournament together, the Tlaxcala Challenge, indicated things could be happening faster than expected. If there’s one team that can brag about being even more dominant than the Brazilians in Doha, that’s certainly the Poles, who kept their record clean during the entire tournament, winning their six matches in a total of 12 sets.

The BBC and Channel 4's documentary departments have committed to 50% women directors in the wake of a campaign from We Are Doc Women.

"Every county in the Tailteann Cup is there for a reason, we’re Division 3 and 4 teams. "There was a good bit of promotion from the GAA recently though. Fifteen teams are already in the hat, and Westmeath and Tipperary will join them if they lose to Kildare and Limerick respectively this weekend. How the Tailteann Cup teams view that particular picture remains to be seen, but up to 17 teams are expected to be in Monday’s draw. Sixteen teams reduced to 15 after one preliminary round. That opened the door for Wexford to enter, but they also opted to give it a pass to deal with their own club congestion. "Our players are firmly focused on getting a result. If the American outfit are drawn away to London, the fixture-setters have said they will assess the situation.

The drivers and teams report back on all the action at the Miami International Autodrome, for the Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix 2022...

The pace in the car was there and it was demonstrated by both drivers, but once again we got unlucky with some events on track. We’re all racers, we’re all trying, and it was always going to be tough to keep new tyres behind us and it was very unfortunate to end the race in that way. On the first lap I struggled with pace and was overtaken by a few cars, then I wasn’t able to recover from there for the rest of the race. For the majority of the race I was stuck in traffic, it was quite difficult to overtake, and the DRS was not that effective. It was quite difficult to overtake off-line, but we made good decisions and put ourselves in a position to finish inside the top 10 by pitting under the Safety Car. I think points could have been on the table, but a bad restart and contact with Kevin [Magnussen] prevented that.” “It is a shame for this weekend to end in the way that it did and we should have done better. George did a great job in that first stint on the Hard tyre, in hindsight the Hard tyre was probably the better race tyre for today but George did well to recover from his position and we got fifth and sixth which is good points for the team. The pace of that tyre at the start of the race was poor for all those that tried it and this set his strategy back. It was disappointing to lose Zhou early in the race with a water leak, as we feel he would have also been in the battle for some points: we will need to address the issue that stopped him and make sure we come back stronger on this point, too. It was encouraging to see that pit stops and reliability were strong as good operations have helped us keep the points gap to the leaders to a minimum so far this season. “It was a real tactical race today and we threw everything we had at it, we were quite lucky that Ferrari didn’t pit under the safety car, Max was under so much pressure from Charles Leclerc but he kept focus and didn’t make any mistakes and was gradually able to break the DRS, which was very powerful today and manage the victory from there. Checo was really unlucky today, he had a sensor issue early on and lost about 30 horsepower, and he gave it a real go when we pitted him and gave him the tyre advantage and without that issue he may even have finished second.

A negative NRR could leave RCB in a tight spot should they end up tied with multiple teams on points.

Both Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings are in a situation where they have to win their remaining games and finish on 14 points, and then hope that other results go their way. Sunrisers Hyderabad have the worst momentum of the lot, having lost four on the trot. At the moment, Royals need two wins to be certain of qualification, though one victory should probably suffice. Like Super Giants, all they need to book a place in the playoffs is one win from their last three games. Even with a healthy NRR at the moment, they will hope it doesn't come to that. At the moment, it's still possible for Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals to finish on more than 18.

The Rams' rough schedule includes 10 games against playoff teams from last season, which is the most in the NFL. The Rams road schedule is especially brutal ...

The second-place, third-place and fourth-place teams in each division are matched in the same way each year. The second-place, third-place, and fourth-place teams in a conference are matched in the same way each year. On the other hand, the Seahawks, who are also playing a last-place schedule, have the 11th most difficult schedule in the NFL, which means this could be a rough year for them. The Eagles only play six teams that made the playoffs last season, which is tied for the fewest in the NFL. The Eagles had the easiest strength of schedule in 2021 and they rode that all the way to a surprise playoff berth. As a matter of fact, four of the five most difficult schedules in 2022 will be played by teams with a "first place" schedule after winning their division last season (Rams, Bengals, Buccaneers, Chiefs). The one thing about strength of schedule is that there's no perfect way to measure schedule difficulty before the season kicks off. The Bills had the "easiest" first-place schedule in 2021 and they were able to turn that into an 11-6 record. From 2002 to 2020, the schedule was inherently the same for everyone, whether they were playing a "first-place" schedule or a "last-place" schedule. Each team played four games against a team that finished in first place, four games against teams that finished in second, four games against teams that finished in third and four games against teams that finished in last place. Going into 2022, the Bengals have the most difficult schedule in the AFC and the third-most difficult schedule overall. Out of their nine road games, the Bengals will play five of them against teams that went to the playoffs last season ( Steelers, Patriots, Titans, Buccaneers and Cowboys). It's been nearly 20 years since the NFL has seen a team win back-to-back Super Bowls and based on this year's strength of schedule, that's a drought that likely isn't going to end this season.

The Cowboys and Chiefs each played in a league-high six prime-time contests in 2021. Which NFL teams deserve to be featured most frequently in these marquee ...

Buffalo is the top dog in the AFC, boasting star playmakers on both sides of the ball. This year's Raiders squad is made for the spotlight. There will be no shortage of great games involving Tampa Bay. The majority should be on prime time. In terms of difficulty, the Chiefs' schedule is brutal. It won't happen, but honestly, the entire Kansas City slate should be prime-time programming. In terms of watchability, it will be must-see.
