(May 14, 2026) The 19th-century settlement of Black pioneers near Lake Placid called Timbuctoo is now largely lost under dense Adirondack forest. A team of researchers is using drones and laser-mapping technology to search for archeological remnants to recover its history.

Nicole Bradbury's World Cup short track race came down to the wire. Following terrible opening laps—where she dropped to the back of the field and then was taken down by a crash—the Hamilton rider got up to the front of the race. Not only had that event in Val di Sole this past June been a struggle, but the years leading up to that race were marked by setback after setback. A few times, she thought she would quit racing cross country. As the race in Italy went on, Bradbury realized a top-15 place would be possible. Then, a top-10 came into view. “Then, it was like the last lap of the World Cup, and I was in fourth. This is so sick. The whole time I was just panicking. I was like, I got to hold this top-five,” she said. Bradbury was in second position into the final corner. “I was behind Katharina Sadnik and I was, like, this is insane,” Bradbury said. “I thought I have to sprint because otherwise it's position one or two, and I don't want to be second. I started sprinting really, really hard. I still didn't think I was going to pass her. When I was passing her, I was, like, this is stupid. I can't believe it.” Not only was Bradbury surprised by the win, she was totally unprepared. She had no change of kit for the podium, so another racer hosed Bradbury down in the bike-wash area. The winner also needed some coaching on how to open a champagne bottle. The rest of Bradbury's 2025 season went pretty well. The World Cup in Lake Placid helped her to build more confidence. In the fall, she returned to Brevard College in North Carolina for her final year of school and collegiate racing. She won the U.S. Omnium Championship. Then, with the new year, it seemed the momentum of the previous one was faltering. Logistical and health issues hindered her preparation for the 2026 season, her first as an elite rider. While she has the support of Victoria-based Blue Bridge Racing, Bradbury is still operating like a privateer racer. Funds are tight. In this episode of the Canadian Cycling Magazine Podcast, Bradbury goes into detail about her career to date, and the perspective she has on her uncertain future. Also, she discusses her art. Her recent exhibition of oil and gouache paintings has a strong connection with her cross country career.

(Apr 6, 2026) ORDA, the state agency that runs the Olympic venues in the Adirondacks, had a big winter. Skier visits were up 8% at Whiteface and Gore, and a cross-country skiing World Cup brought more than 30,000 people to Lake Placid. Also: The Watertown City Council is considering job and service cuts as it puts together next year's budget.

(Apr 2, 2026) Policy disagreements and election dynamics are contributing to the state's budget delay; SUNY Chancellor John King visited SUNY Potsdam to promote efforts to meet students' basic needs, like housing, food, and transportation; and we tour the sugarhouse in Lake Placid, where Cornell University is studying and innovating maple syrup technology.

To finish the season in style, we brought you the best world cup skiers, on a Live Podcast in Lake placid. It was insane laughs the whole time. Stay tuned for a epic evening with the crew and exciting guests from the World Cup circuit

It was quite the weekend for Nordic skiing in the United States. The World Cup visited Lake Placid, NY, and I was there along with 14,000 plus other spectators to take it all in. We saw some of the biggest names in cross-country skiing take to the line and race in the snow and even in the rain. As an avid Nordic skier, it was awesome to see it all happen in a location that I have skied (although at much slower speeds).  One of the main attractions was the retirement of Jessie Diggins, the greatest Nordic athlete ever to come out of the United States. Her legacy however goes well beyond the Olympic medals and world championships. When she talks about her career and her impact, she focuses much more on the culture she helped to create on the US Nordic ski team, and the larger impact on youth skiing. One of her trademarks is wearing glitter on her cheeks during her races. At the event, hundreds (if not thousands) of people were also wearing glitter. While perhaps a small symbol to some outside of this culture, it speaks to how the outcome of the race is not the only thing. Rather, it is the joy of participating in a community with others who share the passion you all have for this activity. On her legacy, she said the following: “I think the team is going to be just fine without me,” Diggins said. “And I feel like that's how I know I did my job. There's so much leadership coming from so many people, because this team is filled with individuals who have put their heart and their energy into the team and who spend time thinking about, How can I make this team better? Not just what can I get and how can the team help me, but how can I make sure that we succeed? And I think that is why we succeed.” On the point of leadership, I welcome Dalmo Cirne to Experience by Design podcast. Dalmo wrote the book “The 4 Streams of Leadership: Transform Yourself into an Overachiever Manager.”  In this book, he talks about how being in a position of leadership doesn't prepare you for being a leader. People often are promoted into leadership positions because of their technical competence, but that doesn't translate into effective leadership.  We talk about the overtaxing of middle management when placed into this position, and how it impacts those who are reporting to them. We discuss the concept of leadership and the importance of understanding and managing different streams in an organization, including downstream (team and projects), upstream (communication with upper management), and sidestream (interactions with peers in other departments). Dalmo examines the nature of leadership, agreeing that while organizational hierarchy is necessary for making difficult decisions, true leadership is demonstrated through actions and behaviors rather than just position Dalmo highlights the significance of understanding one's own motivations for seeking leadership roles, contrasting those who are naturally drawn to leadership with those who seek it for external recognition or financial gain.  Finally, we have some conversation about the properties of snow, including heavy and wet New England snow versus light and fluffy Colorado snow. And what better time to talk about snow and leadership than with the retirement of Jessie Diggins and the emergence of the next generation of Nordic leadership for US cross-country skiing!  Dalmo Cirne: https://dalmocirne.com/ Dalmo Cirne LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dalmocirne/ “The 4 Streams of Leadership”: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1510785183

Iranian state television has broadcast a message in the name of the newly appointed Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei. The message was read by an announcer and gave no clue as to the state of the leader's health. Some reports say he was injured on the first day of US and Israeli attacks. In the message, he said Iran would avenge the blood of its martyrs, and continue to close the Strait of Hormuz, through which one fifth of the world's oil passes. We hear from people in Iran, many of whom say they are now living in constant fear. We also report from the US, where public approval for the war with Iran is the lowest at the start of any conflict since the Second World War, with around 41% agreeing with the US decision to attack Iran. In other news, a court in Russia has given life sentences to four men convicted of carrying out one of the worst terrorist attacks of recent years - the mass shooting at a concert hall outside Moscow. Also: an auction of a remarkable collection of legendary guitars - including Kurt Cobain's trademark 1969 Lake Placid blue Fender Mustang and other famous musical instruments, literary artefacts and sporting and film memorabilia - which belonged to the late billionaire American businessman, Jim Irsay.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

What happens when a Division I swimmer suffers a career-ending spinal injury and decides to try triathlon anyway? Twenty-two months after spinal fusion surgery, Farrin Saba crossed the finish line of Ironman 70.3 Maine.   In this episode of Tri Beginner's Luck, you hear the story behind that moment. After a severe back injury required a double disc replacement and spinal fusion, Farrin's future in sport was uncertain. What began as a way to reconnect with movement became a powerful journey of resilience, curiosity, and rediscovering what it means to be an athlete.   Along the way, Farrin discovered that triathlon is not just an individual sport. After volunteering to guide a visually impaired athlete, she found a deeper connection through the paratriathlon community, learning how communication, pacing, and trust transform racing into a team experience. She also shares her first winter triathlon at the national championships in Lake Placid, which included running on snow with spikes, fat-tire biking across icy terrain, and cross-country skiing. In true beginner's luck fashion, that first attempt led to qualification for the Winter Triathlon World Championships in Italy.   Whether you are training for your first triathlon, navigating an injury comeback, or curious about the many ways people find their place in endurance sports, this episode is a reminder that sometimes the most meaningful journeys begin when you start over.   Join the Tri Beginner's Luck Community: Enjoyed this episode?

Liz Hickox's triathlon journey and mindset transformation. Key Takeaways Mindset Shift Unlocked Performance: Liz's breakthrough came from replacing a self-limiting belief ("I don't win races") with a performance-focused one ("Success is the only motherfucking option"). New Coaching Partnership was the Catalyst: A new coach (Colin Cook) provided the structure and accountability needed to break old habits, including inconsistent training and alcohol consumption. Adversity Forged Resilience: Winning two major races (Happy Valley, Lake Placid) with broken toes proved the power of her new mindset and physical dedication. Kona Podium Validated the Transformation: A top-5 finish at Kona, guided by a single bike-split goal, validated the new approach and solidified her identity as a top-tier athlete. Topics Early Life & Athletic Background Upbringing: Athletic parents; a strict, driving father and a supportive mother. Pivotal Event: A severe car accident at 19 caused a year-long school delay. Wall Street Career: Started on the American Stock Exchange floor, then moved to a NASDAQ trading desk. Running as Therapy: Began running after her father's death, using it as a mental escape from a high-pressure job. Sailing Career: Won a One Design World Championship, leveraging a lighter weight for crew selection. Triathlon Introduction & Early Struggles First Triathlon (c. 2000): The Mighty Hamptons Tri, completed on a mountain bike with aero bars. Result: Walked the run due to lack of training. Return to Triathlon (c. 2017): Used training as a grounding force during a difficult marriage. First Half-Ironman: Timberman, finished just outside the top 10. First Full Ironman: Lake Placid (2017, 2018), consistently finished just outside the top 10. Self-Limiting Belief: Realized she was subconsciously holding back to avoid outperforming her spouse, creating a "marginally well" identity. The Breakthrough Season (2025) Coaching Change: Switched to Colin Cook after her previous coach dismissed her Kona goal for Lake Placid, saying the race was "too competitive." New Approach: Adopted a disciplined lifestyle, including consistent training, dialed-in nutrition, and full alcohol abstinence. Happy Valley 70.3: Adversity: Broke two toes ~10 days before the race. Strategy: Wore a walking boot pre-race, then hammered the bike to compensate for a compromised run. Result: Won her age group by over 20 minutes, securing a 70.3 Worlds slot. Lake Placid Ironman: Adversity: Raced on broken toes, causing pain on downhills and a gluteal tendinopathy injury. Result: Won her age group by 26 minutes, finishing 50 minutes faster than her 2018 time. Kona World Championships Mindset: Approached the race with a focus on experience and enjoyment, not just results. Bike Strategy: Focused solely on hitting the coach-set 6-hour bike split goal, ignoring all other metrics. Result: Finished in 6:01. Run Strategy: Removed socks mid-race to manage burning feet, running the rest of the marathon barefoot in her shoes. Result: Finished 5th in her age group, achieving a podium finish. Next Steps Liz Hickox: Race Happy Valley 70.3 and Lake Placid Ironman in 2026. Compete in Unbound gravel race. Attend the upcoming Tucson training camp.

Feb. 26, 2026- Assemblymember Robert Carroll, a Brooklyn Democrat, lays out his pitch for New York to host a future winter Olympics, with Lake Placid and New York City hosting various games.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 62: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: In case you somehow missed it, Kash Patel's enablers at the FBI (Fan Boys International) were busily denying he went to Italy for the Olympics just to see the hockey game and jock-sniff the victorious U.S. team when all sorts of video leaked out of the dressing room showing him doing exactly that - dancing, drinking, cringing. And then Patel himself couldn't resist Supposedly we sent 100 agents to help with security and he just had to be there. Guesstimated cost just for his latest stage of his perpetual vacation on our dime? $400,000. It would be bad - a future administration will probably address it as misappropriation of funds. But what makes it worse is there's a piece by Patel from 2022 complaining about previous FBI directors wasting money on vacation, and a clip about his FBI predecessor Christopher Wray's vacation travel. Simply impeaching him is insufficient. He needs to go to prison. NOT THAT TRUMP WOULD DO THAT; THIS IS THE BEHAVIOR TRUMP TEACHES: Trump is a thief and he owes you and me at least 293 billion dollars - and we want it back. The worst thief in American history - and 270 billion of that is in tariffs. Because on tariffs, the Supreme Court has given him his COMEUPPANCE. Well – it’s given him A comeuppance. Because his new argument for the new REPLACEMENT Monday tariffs was his old argument AGAINST overturning the old Friday tariffs. But the key thing the Court actually did was give his cult a mortal shock. It is the first official body to give the Trump-Town Guyana Death Cult the message: that he is making this crap up, as he goes ALONG. -- Plus: an actual good idea from Boris Johnson: to send peacekeepers to Ukraine – NOW. And I’M the guy who thinks the Hockey Gold Medal is a BAD THING. And no, the John Barron who called into C-SPAN wasn’t Trump – he was too coherent. B-Block (40:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Mark Zuckerberg manages to lose a lawsuit before the trial starts, Kid Rock proves he's not charging $5000 for front row tickets by confessing he IS charging $5000 for front row tickets, and Stephen Miller's wife has another one of those Freudian slips that may be desperate pleas for help from inside a bad situation. C-Block (50:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Baseball has already started so time for my annual explanation: why I don't work for baseball's TV network even though they offered me my own show and I accepted it. It has to do with a big league club threatening them if they didn't renege.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Team USA ends a 46-year Olympic gold drought in Milan with a bleeding, toothless overtime hero and a goalie performance for the ages. But the real meltdown? Not Canada. It's the media reaction to loving America. From the “Marvel in Milan” to therapy sessions over the U.S. flag, we break it all down.

A 46-year drought ends. A goalie stands on his head. A player loses two teeth and wins gold. And the outrage? Not about the game — but about loving America. From the “Marvel in Milan” to media fury over patriotism and FBI Director travel drama, today's show dives into the culture clash ignited by Team USA's Olympic moment.

1980 Team USA Olympic Gold Medalist Rob McClanahan joins 365 Sports to react to the United States capturing Olympic gold for the first time since his legendary Miracle on Ice team did it in Lake Placid. McClanahan shares what it meant to watch this new generation of American players embrace the brotherhood of USA Hockey, reflects on how Herb Brooks would have viewed this team, and explains the similarities between the 1980 squad and today's group led by Connor Hellebuyck and Jack Hughes. He also discusses the emotional tribute to Johnny Gaudreau and why this victory is another defining moment in the legacy of USA Hockey.#nhl #usahockey #usa #america #olympics #canada #johnnyhockey #fyp #fyp; Learn more about your ad choices.

In the winter of 1980, the world turned its eyes to Lake Placid, New York, host of the Winter Olympics. But behind the pageantry, another structure loomed in the Adirondack woods. Built to house 1,800 athletes, the Olympic Village looked less like a dormitory than a detention center — because that’s exactly what it was designed to become. * Hosted by Zaron Burnett, Dana Schwartz, and Jason EnglishWritten by Zaron BurnettSenior Producer is Josh FisherEditing and Sound Design by Jesse NighswongerMixing and Mastering by Josh FisherOriginal Music by Elise McCoyShow Logo by Lucy QuintanillaExecutive Producer is Jason English For School of Humans, Producers are Emilia Brock and Edeliz Perez.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 56: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: In destroying The Washington Post yesterday, Trump-fluffer Jeff Bezos has gone far enough. Democratic leaders must commit to using anti-trust laws to destroy Amazon, Prime, Blue Origin - and Bezos, financially. Every would-be president, senator, representative must vow to break the oligarchs - Bezos, Musk, Trump, and all the rest. Bezos first hollowed out the Post to make it servile to Trump and his gang. Now he's destroyed its foreign and sports desks, and its viability as a counterweight to the anti-democracy forces abroad in the land. All so he could spend $75,000,000 or more on a vanity project designed to tell Trump a life: that his wife is an attractive "movie star." We are not going back to the America of 1885. We must bankrupt Jeff Bezos. (And I apologize for the slipshod nature of this episode. I'm under the weather, throat bad, was planning to postpone this episode but this could not wait. Please forgive for the extemporaneous nature of the commentary; the rest of the show is interesting but not new) B-Block (30:00) OLYMPICS TIME: As the 2026 games begin in Italy let me take you back to the most famous winter games yet: the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics, which I covered as a 21-year old rookie with United Press International (while my bosses tried to teach me how to work and drink at the same time).
