Over the weekend, gymnast Ben Letvin led his University of Minnesota team to another Eastern conference title in the run-up to GymACT league nationals. The collegiate athlete put up impressive scores on the floor and rings, but his high marks on the vault helped edge out the competition, securing him an all-around title to go with the Gophers fifth conference victory.The weekend didnt just mark a win for Letvins club teammates and personal trophy collection. The openly gay gymnasts success is helping move the needle forward in a sport known for its rigid idea of what it means to be a top-tier male athlete. Letvin joined Minnesota gymnastics, which is part of the league open to schools without NCAA programs, in 2023. Initially, he told Outsports in a 2025 interview that he was hesitant to open up to his teammates about his sexuality given the hyper-masculine environment fostered by the sport.However, two other gay gymnasts, Jude Norris and Charlie Larson, gave him the confidence to stop worrying about fitting in and be himself.View this post on InstagramA post shared by Ben Letvin (@benletvin_gym)Not long after, the three tightly bonded former teammates started collaborating on videos to promote the club on Instagram and, early on, it was clear they had found their niche.Norris, who joined the Gopher staff after being burned out by competition, was initially behind the camera, but things really took off when he joined his teammates onscreen. Thus, The Powerpuff Girls, as the group calls themselves, were born. Since 2024, the threesome, who took their name from the iconic animated supergirl trio, has specialized in videos demonstrating high-level stunts with lots of sass. Their collaboration has also taken on other forms, like a fashion-forward photo shoot, now that Larson has transferred to the University of Michigan.Its not just gymnastics fans tuning into their content, as everyone from general sports enthusiasts to followers of campy queer influencers finding something to enjoy in their out-and-proud acrobatics. Letvins latest victory on the mat puts the spotlight back on the group and their efforts to bring much-needed visibility to queer athletes competing in elite mens sports.Whether he takes the podium at nationals next month or not, that already makes him an all-star in our book. Though, he will be hoping for a repeat of last year, when he took home the top prize for vault with a noteworthy 14.2.

Yes, the Pittsburgh Steelers placed the unrestricted free-agent tender on veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who led the team to an AFC North title at 10-7 last season but he still hasn't signed a contract, and we don't definitively know who the team's 2026 starting quarterback is. That leads us to second-year quarterback Will Howard and rookie Drew Allar. Who does Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger the franchise leader with 64,088 passing yards and 418 passing touchdowns prefer? "I'm not sure yet if I love it or hate it. I don't watch a lot of Penn State games. When I did watch, he never jumped off the page to me," Roethlisberger said about Allar, whom Pittsburgh selected with the No. 76 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, on his podcast, "Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger." "Is he big? Can he move? Can he throw? Yes. But there was never a time when I was like, 'Whoa.' The jury's still out for me right now. Again, there was nothing that just jumped off the page for me. Whether that's good or bad, I don't know. We'll see about this one." As for the other former Big Ten signal-caller? "Will Howard jumped off the tape to me way more than Drew [Allar] did," Roethlisberger said. The Steelers selected Howard in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Howard spent the first four seasons of his collegiate career with the Kansas State Wildcats (2020-23) before transferring to play for the Ohio State Buckeyes in 2024, with whom he won the National Championship. In said championship season (2024), Howard totaled 4,010 passing yards, 35 passing touchdowns, 10 interceptions and a 175.3 passer rating, while completing 73.0% of his passes. Howard led the Big Ten in passing yards, passing touchdowns and completion percentage, while rushing for 226 yards and seven touchdowns. He didn't appear in a game during his 2025 rookie season. As for Allar, the former five-star recruit's 2025 campaign at Penn State was cut short after six games due to a broken ankle. Over his two healthy seasons as the Nittany Lions' starting quarterback (2023-24), the 6-foot-5 Allar averaged 2,979 passing yards, 24.5 passing touchdowns, five interceptions and a 145.2 passer rating per year, while completing 63.2% of his passes. In 2024, Allar helped Penn State reach the College Football Playoff semifinals and led the Big Ten with 25 passing touchdowns in 2023. In all, Pittsburgh's quarterback room currently includes Allar, Howard and Mason Rudolph, who has made a combined 14 starts over his two stints with the Steelers (2018-23 and 2025-present).

Tottenham Hotspur striker Dominic Solanke could reportedly be sidelined for the remainder of the Premier League season. The England international suffered a hamstring injury during the weekend victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, leaving Roberto De Zerbi with a mounting availability crisis in the middle of a relegation battle. Hamstring heartbreak for Solanke Doubt has been cast over Solankes involvement in Tottenham's crucial Premier League run-in because of the hamstring injury he suffered against Wolves. As per The Telegraph, early scans have suggested that the forward may have suffered a grade-two hamstring injury, which can take between three and eight weeks to recover from. That opens up the nightmare possibility of Solanke joining the list of Spurs players who will not play again this season, although the relegation-threatened club have not yet confirmed the extent of his injury. Injury list continues to grow Despite winning their first league game of 2026 against Wolves, Spurs remain in the relegation zone, two points behind West Ham United. Xavi Simons will miss the rest of the season and is expected to be out for a minimum of seven months after suffering an anteria cruciate ligament injury in the Wolves game and undergoing surgery, meaning he is unlikely to play again before December. Other than Simons and the doubts over Solanke, De Zerbi is already without Mohammed Kudus, Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert and Cristian Romero for the rest of the season. James Maddison is also still waiting for his first minutes after returning to training from a year out with two knee injuries, leaving the squad paper-thin for the battles ahead. De Zerbi faces selection nightmare De Zerbi will address Solankes fitness in his press conference on Friday and will no doubt be hoping the 28-year-old will be able to play an active part in the run-in. Tottenhams final four games are against Aston Villa on Sunday, Leeds United, Chelsea and Everton. Losing another attacker for any of those matches would be a significant setback for De Zerbi. The game against Chelsea has been rescheduled to Tuesday, May 19 because the Stamford Bridge clubs involvement in the FA Cup final on Saturday, May 16. World Cup dreams in jeopardy A season-ending injury now would also be a massive blow to Solankes hopes of going to the World Cup with England as Harry Kanes deputy. The striker was said to be in the running for a spot in Thomas Tuchel's squad, but a lengthy lay-off would force the German coach to look elsewhere.
