Italys 30th medal (10 gold, six silver and 14 bronze) at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games bears the signature of Andrea Giovannini. The 32-year-old from Trentino, having celebrated gold four days earlier in the team pursuit alongside Davide Ghiotto and Michele Malfatti, fought back to secure bronze in the mass start a discipline in which over the course of his distinguished career he has claimed two consecutive World Cup titles (2024 and 2025), two European Championship medals (silver in Kolomna 2018 and bronze in Tomaszw Mazowiecki 2026) and two World Championship medals (bronze in Heerenveen 2023 and historic gold in Hamar 2025). Giovannini is the second Italian to reach the Olympic podium in the mass start, introduced at the Games at PyeongChang 2018, after Francesca Lollobrigida, who also took bronze four years ago in Beijing 2022.The experienced Italian qualified for the final by finishing fourth in the last semi-final with 13 sprint points behind Frances Timothy Loubineaud (61), Chinas Yu Wu (40) and the Netherlands Stijn van de Bunt (24). In the final, it was fellow Dutch skater Jorrit Bergsma who raised his arms in triumph (gold with 68), launching an early break and holding off a fierce late surge from Denmarks Viktor Hald Thorup (silver with 47), the only skater to pursue the leader. On the third step of the Olympic podium stood Giovannini (21), who, after an extremely tactical race in which he was unable to break clear from the pack, prevailed in the finishing sprint in the battle for the top three ahead of American Jordan Stolz (fourth with 10).

When it comes to college football win totals for next season, there are a couple of squads whose Over/Under I'm considering. These two teams, though, are trending in different directions. On one hand, you've got a Colorado team that has its work cut out for itself; on the other is a UCLA team that should be in a good position to succeed. Here's why I'm fading the Buffs and backing the Bruins. This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners. If you sign up or place a wager, FOX Sports may be compensated.

Colorado Over/Under 4.5. wins We're entering the fourth year of Deion Sanders as the head coach of the Buffs, and its the third year he's going to coach a team composed mostly of transfer portal players and led by a staff of new coaches. This is just unsustainable for any long-term success or for building any continuity within the program. Sanders' team won four games in 2023, then nine in 2024 with the most stable roster he had. In 2025, it was back to only three wins. The most promising player on the Buffs' roster is at the most important position. Quarterback JuJu Lewis showed play-making ability last season as a true freshman. I always feel its necessary to add the disclaimer that playing college football as a freshman is difficult. Signs of success like Lewis had overshadowed any typical shakiness that a player in his position might show. Colorado returns only four other starters on offense from last season and lost its most talented players to the portal. The Buffaloes hired Brennan Marion to run the offense, and hes been successful as an offensive coordinator at his various spots. It will be interesting to see if hes got the personnel in Boulder to run his preferred offense. But there are just too many unknowns outside of Lewis for the offense. Even more unknowns for the Buffs come on defense. Colorado's defense wasnt good last season, so it makes sense that nearly the entire two-deep on defense is portal players. It returns just a single starter on that unit. Colorado moved on from defensive coordinator Rob Livingston, who took a job as the Broncos defensive pass-game coordinator. The Buffs' portal haul for defense does include plenty of players with starts in their careers, but how quickly can you get a brand-new defense playing well? Might take some time. Lets find the wins on Colorados schedule. The Buffaloes will beat Weber State in Week 1 and then the rest are 50-50 games. They will be 'dogs at Georgia Tech and Northwestern in their non-conference slate. In conference, they have difficult home games against Texas Tech, Utah and Kansas State. They are on the road at Arizona State. Colorado does get Baylor, Cincinnati and a rebuilding Oklahoma State. The team will need to get four wins out of probably eight games which will be toss-ups, plus an upset to make five wins. I like Colorado's under. PICK: Colorado Under 4.5 wins UCLA Over/Under 5.5 wins This will be trendy, but Im buying Bob Chesney in Westwood. The former JMU head coach is a winner. Hes been a head coach over multiple levels of football with a record of 132-52. He went 9-4 and 12-2 in his head coaching seasons at James Madison. Now he has the opportunity to coach the most talented team hes had in his career. Nico Iamaleava is staying at UCLA as the Bruins' starting quarterback for a second season. Iamaleava showed his ability after the coaching change and, with even more experience and better coaching, he should shine. Just like most teams with new coaches, this Bruins squad has a high number of portal players. At least 40 have come with Chesney, including JMU running back Wayne Knight. The UCLA receiving group has potential and the offensive line should be solid. The defense returns some starters, but will production from the portal be good? The Bruins' schedule gives them the best chance to get at least six wins. Week 1 is a toss-up with California, and they should beat San Diego State and Nevada in non-conference play. They play a majority of the bottom of the Big Ten. They get Purdue, Maryland and Michigan State, plus Wisconsin and Illinois at home. UCLA wont win at Oregon or Michigan, and probably not against USC. However, I do see at least six wins on this schedule. PICK: UCLA Over 5.5 wins

The Unpacking Future PackersCountdown is a countdown of 100 prospects who theGreen Bay Packerscould select in the 2026 NFL draft.TheGreen Bay Packersaddressed the most pressing roster need when they signed Javon Hargrave to a two-year deal. The addition of the veteran defensive tackle bolsters the interior of the defensive line, but there is still work to be done to improve that position group.A potential target on Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft is Tyler Onyedim. The Texas A&M defensive tackle checks in at No. 27 in the Unpacking Future Packers Countdown. A three-star recruit out of Texas, Onyedim started his college career at Iowa State. During his four seasons in Ames, Onyedim recorded 12 tackles for loss and three sacks. During his lone season at Texas A&M, Onyedim recorded career highs in tackles (48), tackles for loss (8.5) and sacks (2.5). In the last five games, Onyedim recorded six tackles for loss, two sacks, seven pressures, and 10 run stops. With his explosiveness, length, and power, Onyedim can overwhelm interior offensive linemen. He has powerful hands that jolt offensive linemen. He consistently collapses the integrity of the pocket. During his final three college seasons, he recorded 60 pressures. "Onyedim is a very dynamic and versatile defensive lineman who shows exceptional hip flexibility," Shane Coughlin, the Director of College Scouting for the Shrine Bowl, said."He wins early in reps purely on his initial adjustments and initiation angles, where he can catch guards leaning and reacting to his first step before changing directions, leaving them off balance and igniting a second movement into the pocket. There's a lot of explosiveness in his upper and lower half to match."Onyedim has good initial quickness off the snap to disrupt the action in the backfield. He has the short-area quickness to make plays up and down the line of scrimmage. He uses his length to shed blocks and hes strong at the point of attack. He plays with active hands and has a knack for working off blocks to shut down running lanes. This past season he recorded a career-high 27 run stops. "In the run game its more of the same," Coughlin said. "Violent punches with stoutness to hold vertical positioning and then the quickness to disconnect and find ball carriers."Fit with the PackersThe Packers need to get more impactful plays from their interior defensive linemen this season. Adding Hargrave to the mix will certainly help the cause. It's a position group that needs some juice and Onyedim may not be the biggest defensive tackle (6-3, 292 pounds) in terms of mass, but he has the length (34-inch arms), explosiveness, and strength to be a solid rotational player early in his career with the potential to develop into a difference maker. As a Day 3 pick, Onyedim could provide immediate depth up front. In the long term, he could be a starter for the foreseeable future. With his well-rounded skill set and athleticism, he could be high on Green Bay's board as they look for more impactful players in the front seven.This article originally appeared on Packers Wire: Unpacking Future Packers: No. 27, Texas A&M DT Tyler Onyedim
