MLB – La Russa steps down as White Sox manager over health issues Tony La Russa stepped down as manager of the Chicago White Sox because of a pair of health issues. The announcement ends a disappointing two-year run in the same spot where the Hall of Famer got his first job as a big league skipper. La Russa is a three-time World Series champion who turns 78 on Tuesday. He left the team on Aug. 30 because of issues with a pacemaker that was implanted in February. La Russa says a different, previously diagnosed health problem led to his departure. La Russa directed Chicago to the AL Central title last year, but the team fell short of expectations this season. MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Detroit Tigers 4, Seattle Mariners 3 Chicago White Sox 3, Minnesota Twins 2 Cincinnati Reds 3, Chicago Cubs 1 Tigers 4, Mariners 3 – Mariners to start playoffs on road after 4-3 loss to Tigers The Seattle Mariners will start their first playoff trip in two decades on the road after a costly 4-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers, who got a two-run homer from Javier Báez. Sam Haggerty singled with two outs in the ninth inning and hurt his left groin while sliding into second base on a successful steal. He needed assistance to leave the field, an arm draped over manager Scott Servais and an athletic trainer. Haggerty is scheduled for an MRI on Tuesday. Andrew Chafin struck out Carlos Santana for his third save. Seattle will open a best-of-three series at Toronto or Cleveland on Friday. White Sox 3, Twins 2 – Cueto helps White Sox beat Twins after La Russa steps down The Chicago White Sox watched manager Tony La Russa announce he was leaving his position, and then beat the Minnesota Twins 3-2 behind Johnny Cueto’s seven effective innings. La Russa stepped down because of a pair of health issues, punctuating a disappointing season for the Hall of Famer in the same spot where he got his first job as a big league skipper. Josh Harrison hit a two-run homer in Chicago’s fourth win in five games. Minnesota dropped to 9-19 in its last 28 games. Gio Urshela hit a two-run homer, and Bailey Ober pitched five innings of two-hit ball. Reds 3, Cubs 1 – Reds avoid 100th loss, beat Cubs 3-1 behind Hunter Greene Hunter Greene pitched six scoreless innings and the Cincinnati Reds remained at 99 losses, beating the Chicago Cubs 3-1. The Reds are 61-99 this season. They snapped a six-game skid and can avoid losing at least 100 games for the second time in franchise history if they sweep the three-game series against Chicago. Cincinnati finished 61-101 in 1982. Greene and relievers Derek Law, Buck Farmer and Alexis Diaz combined on a two-hitter to stop the Cubs’ winning streak at seven games. Chicago only got one runner past second base before scoring in the ninth against Diaz, who picked up his 10th save. Tonight Detroit (Rodriguez 5-5) at Seattle (Gonzales 10-15), 6:10 p.m. – Game 1       WSJM/WCSY 5:50 Detroit (TBD) at Seattle (Flexen 8-9), 9:40 p.m. – Game 2                              WSJM/WCSY Chicago Cubs (Assad 2-2) at Cincinnati (Cessa 4-4), 6:40 p.m. Minnesota (Winder 4-5) at Chicago White Sox (Giolito 10-9), 8:10 p.m. NFL – National Football League – Week 4 Last Night San Francisco 49ers 24, Los Angeles Rams 9 49ers 24, Rams 9 – 49ers use defense, Deebo Samuel to beat Rams 24-9 Deebo Samuel turned a short catch into an electric 57-yard touchdown, Talanoa Hufanga returned an interception for a score and the San Francisco 49ers beat the Los Angeles Rams 24-9. Jeff Wilson Jr. also scored on a 32-yard run that gave the Niners their seventh straight regular-season win over their in-state rivals. The Rams won the matchup that meant most in last season’s NFC championship game on the way to a Super Bowl title, but this meeting looked more like their recent regular-season meetings. San Francisco used a relentless defense to slow down coach Sean McVay’s offense and got enough big plays for the win. NHL – National Hockey League – Preseason Last Night Pittsburgh Penguins 3, Detroit Red Wings 2 NBA – National Basketball Association – Preseason Tonight Detroit Pistons at New York Knicks, 7:00 p.m. New Orleans Pelicans at Chicago Bulls, 9:30 p.m. WNBA – Russian court sets Brittney Griner appeal date for Oct. 25 A Russian court has set a date for American basketball star Brittney Griner’s appeal against her nine-year prison sentence for drug possession. It has been scheduled for Oct. 25. Griner is an eight-time all-star center with the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury and a two-time Olympic gold medalist. She was convicted Aug. 4 after police said they found vape canisters containing cannabis oil in her luggage at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport. The Moscow region court said Monday it will hear her appeal. Griner’s lawyers argued after the conviction that the punishment was excessive. NWSL – Abuse in women’s pro soccer league was systemic, report says An independent investigation into the scandals that erupted in the National Women’s Soccer League found emotional abuse and sexual misconduct were systemic in the sport, impacting multiple teams, coaches and players. U.S. Soccer commissioned the investigation by former acting U.S. Attorney General Sally Yates and a law firm after former NWSL players Sinead Farrelly and Mana Shim came forward with allegations of harassment and sexual coercion dating back a decade. But it was clear the problems were widespread. Five of the 10 head coaches in the league last season either were fired or stepped down amid allegations of misconduct. Running – Man, 36, dies after running in London Marathon Organizers of the London Marathon say a 36-year-old man died after running in the race on Sunday. London Marathon Events says the man collapsed between miles 23 and 24 of the race. He received immediate medical treatment and an ambulance arrived within three minutes. He died in a hospital in London. The organizers expressed their “sincere condolences” to the man’s friends and family. The cause of death has yet to be established. Fishing – Authorities probing report of scandal at fishing tournament Prosecutors in Cleveland are investigating an apparent cheating scandal during a lucrative walleye fishing tournament over the weekend on Lake Erie. A Twitter video shows Jason Fischer, tournament director for the Lake Erie Walleye Trail event, on Friday cutting open walleye and finding lead weights and prepared fish filets inside the winning catch of five fish to bolster their weight. Anglers Jacob Runyan and Chase Cominsky were disqualified. Messages seeking comment were left Monday with Runyan, Cominsky and Fischer. A spokesperson for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources says ODNR officers gathered evidence. Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O’Malley in a statement said “these individuals will be held accountable.” Olympics – Publishing executive charged in Tokyo Olympic bribes scandal A top executive at a major Japanese publisher has been charged with bribing a former Tokyo Olympics organizing committee member. The charges against Tsuguhiko Kadokawa, a major figure in Japan’s movie and entertainment industry, are the latest in the unfolding corruption scandal related to last year’s Tokyo Summer Games. Kadokawa was arrested Sept. 14 on suspicion of bribing Haruyuki Takahashi with 69 million yen, or $480,000. Takahashi is a former executive at advertising company Dentsu who had great influence in arranging Olympic sponsorships. Kadokawa issued a statement saying he would quit as chairman.

MLB – La Russa steps down as White Sox manager over health issues Tony La Russa stepped down as manager of the Chicago White Sox because of a pair of health issues. The announcement ends a disappointing two-year run in the same spot where the Hall of Famer got his first job as a big league skipper. La Russa is a three-time World Series champion who turns 78 on Tuesday. He left the team on Aug. 30 because of issues with a pacemaker that was implanted in February. La Russa says a different, previously diagnosed health problem led to his departure. La Russa directed Chicago to the AL Central title last year, but the team fell short of expectations this season. MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Detroit Tigers 4, Seattle Mariners 3 Chicago White Sox 3, Minnesota Twins 2 Cincinnati Reds 3, Chicago Cubs 1 Tigers 4, Mariners 3 – Mariners to start playoffs on road after 4-3 loss to Tigers The Seattle Mariners will start their first playoff trip in two decades on the road after a costly 4-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers, who got a two-run homer from Javier Báez. Sam Haggerty singled with two outs in the ninth inning and hurt his left groin while sliding into second base on a successful steal. He needed assistance to leave the field, an arm draped over manager Scott Servais and an athletic trainer. Haggerty is scheduled for an MRI on Tuesday. Andrew Chafin struck out Carlos Santana for his third save. Seattle will open a best-of-three series at Toronto or Cleveland on Friday. White Sox 3, Twins 2 – Cueto helps White Sox beat Twins after La Russa steps down The Chicago White Sox watched manager Tony La Russa announce he was leaving his position, and then beat the Minnesota Twins 3-2 behind Johnny Cueto’s seven effective innings. La Russa stepped down because of a pair of health issues, punctuating a disappointing season for the Hall of Famer in the same spot where he got his first job as a big league skipper. Josh Harrison hit a two-run homer in Chicago’s fourth win in five games. Minnesota dropped to 9-19 in its last 28 games. Gio Urshela hit a two-run homer, and Bailey Ober pitched five innings of two-hit ball. Reds 3, Cubs 1 – Reds avoid 100th loss, beat Cubs 3-1 behind Hunter Greene Hunter Greene pitched six scoreless innings and the Cincinnati Reds remained at 99 losses, beating the Chicago Cubs 3-1. The Reds are 61-99 this season. They snapped a six-game skid and can avoid losing at least 100 games for the second time in franchise history if they sweep the three-game series against Chicago. Cincinnati finished 61-101 in 1982. Greene and relievers Derek Law, Buck Farmer and Alexis Diaz combined on a two-hitter to stop the Cubs’ winning streak at seven games. Chicago only got one runner past second base before scoring in the ninth against Diaz, who picked up his 10th save.

Jeff Wilson Jr. also scored on a 32-yard run that gave the Niners their seventh straight regular-season win over their in-state rivals. The Rams won the matchup that meant most in last season’s NFC championship game on the way to a Super Bowl title, but this meeting looked more like their recent regular-season meetings. San Francisco used a relentless defense to slow down coach Sean McVay’s offense and got enough big plays for the win. NHL – National Hockey League – Preseason Last Night Pittsburgh Penguins 3, Detroit Red Wings 2 NBA – National Basketball Association – Preseason Tonight Detroit Pistons at New York Knicks, 7:00 p.m. New Orleans Pelicans at Chicago Bulls, 9:30 p.m. WNBA – Russian court sets Brittney Griner appeal date for Oct. 25 A Russian court has set a date for American basketball star Brittney Griner’s appeal against her nine-year prison sentence for drug possession. It has been scheduled for Oct. 25. Griner is an eight-time all-star center with the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury and a two-time Olympic gold medalist. She was convicted Aug. 4 after police said they found vape canisters containing cannabis oil in her luggage at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport. The Moscow region court said Monday it will hear her appeal. Griner’s lawyers argued after the conviction that the punishment was excessive. NWSL – Abuse in women’s pro soccer league was systemic, report says An independent investigation into the scandals that erupted in the National Women’s Soccer League found emotional abuse and sexual misconduct were systemic in the sport, impacting multiple teams, coaches and players. U.S. Soccer commissioned the investigation by former acting U.S. Attorney General Sally Yates and a law firm after former NWSL players Sinead Farrelly and Mana Shim came forward with allegations of harassment and sexual coercion dating back a decade. But it was clear the problems were widespread. Five of the 10 head coaches in the league last season either were fired or stepped down amid allegations of misconduct. Running – Man, 36, dies after running in London Marathon Organizers of the London Marathon say a 36-year-old man died after running in the race on Sunday. London Marathon Events says the man collapsed between miles 23 and 24 of the race. He received immediate medical treatment and an ambulance arrived within three minutes. He died in a hospital in London. The organizers expressed their “sincere condolences” to the man’s friends and family. The cause of death has yet to be established. Fishing – Authorities probing report of scandal at fishing tournament Prosecutors in Cleveland are investigating an apparent cheating scandal during a lucrative walleye fishing tournament over the weekend on Lake Erie. A Twitter video shows Jason Fischer, tournament director for the Lake Erie Walleye Trail event, on Friday cutting open walleye and finding lead weights and prepared fish filets inside the winning catch of five fish to bolster their weight. Anglers Jacob Runyan and Chase Cominsky were disqualified. Messages seeking comment were left Monday with Runyan, Cominsky and Fischer. A spokesperson for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources says ODNR officers gathered evidence. Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O’Malley in a statement said “these individuals will be held accountable.” Olympics – Publishing executive charged in Tokyo Olympic bribes scandal A top executive at a major Japanese publisher has been charged with bribing a former Tokyo Olympics organizing committee member. The charges against Tsuguhiko Kadokawa, a major figure in Japan’s movie and entertainment industry, are the latest in the unfolding corruption scandal related to last year’s Tokyo Summer Games. Kadokawa was arrested Sept. 14 on suspicion of bribing Haruyuki Takahashi with 69 million yen, or $480,000. Takahashi is a former executive at advertising company Dentsu who had great influence in arranging Olympic sponsorships. Kadokawa issued a statement saying he would quit as chairman.

MLB – La Russa steps down as White Sox manager over health issues Tony La Russa stepped down as manager of the Chicago White Sox because of a pair of health issues. The announcement ends a disappointing two-year run in the same spot where the Hall of Famer got his first job as a big league skipper. La Russa is a three-time World Series champion who turns 78 on Tuesday. He left the team on Aug. 30 because of issues with a pacemaker that was implanted in February. La Russa says a different, previously diagnosed health problem led to his departure. La Russa directed Chicago to the AL Central title last year, but the team fell short of expectations this season. MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Detroit Tigers 4, Seattle Mariners 3 Chicago White Sox 3, Minnesota Twins 2 Cincinnati Reds 3, Chicago Cubs 1 Tigers 4, Mariners 3 – Mariners to start playoffs on road after 4-3 loss to Tigers The Seattle Mariners will start their first playoff trip in two decades on the road after a costly 4-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers, who got a two-run homer from Javier Báez. Sam Haggerty singled with two outs in the ninth inning and hurt his left groin while sliding into second base on a successful steal. He needed assistance to leave the field, an arm draped over manager Scott Servais and an athletic trainer. Haggerty is scheduled for an MRI on Tuesday. Andrew Chafin struck out Carlos Santana for his third save. Seattle will open a best-of-three series at Toronto or Cleveland on Friday. White Sox 3, Twins 2 – Cueto helps White Sox beat Twins after La Russa steps down The Chicago White Sox watched manager Tony La Russa announce he was leaving his position, and then beat the Minnesota Twins 3-2 behind Johnny Cueto’s seven effective innings. La Russa stepped down because of a pair of health issues, punctuating a disappointing season for the Hall of Famer in the same spot where he got his first job as a big league skipper. Josh Harrison hit a two-run homer in Chicago’s fourth win in five games. Minnesota dropped to 9-19 in its last 28 games. Gio Urshela hit a two-run homer, and Bailey Ober pitched five innings of two-hit ball. Reds 3, Cubs 1 – Reds avoid 100th loss, beat Cubs 3-1 behind Hunter Greene Hunter Greene pitched six scoreless innings and the Cincinnati Reds remained at 99 losses, beating the Chicago Cubs 3-1. The Reds are 61-99 this season. They snapped a six-game skid and can avoid losing at least 100 games for the second time in franchise history if they sweep the three-game series against Chicago. Cincinnati finished 61-101 in 1982. Greene and relievers Derek Law, Buck Farmer and Alexis Diaz combined on a two-hitter to stop the Cubs’ winning streak at seven games. Chicago only got one runner past second base before scoring in the ninth against Diaz, who picked up his 10th save.

Jeff Wilson Jr. also scored on a 32-yard run that gave the Niners their seventh straight regular-season win over their in-state rivals. The Rams won the matchup that meant most in last season’s NFC championship game on the way to a Super Bowl title, but this meeting looked more like their recent regular-season meetings. San Francisco used a relentless defense to slow down coach Sean McVay’s offense and got enough big plays for the win. NHL – National Hockey League – Preseason Last Night Pittsburgh Penguins 3, Detroit Red Wings 2 NBA – National Basketball Association – Preseason Tonight Detroit Pistons at New York Knicks, 7:00 p.m. New Orleans Pelicans at Chicago Bulls, 9:30 p.m. WNBA – Russian court sets Brittney Griner appeal date for Oct. 25 A Russian court has set a date for American basketball star Brittney Griner’s appeal against her nine-year prison sentence for drug possession. It has been scheduled for Oct. 25. Griner is an eight-time all-star center with the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury and a two-time Olympic gold medalist. She was convicted Aug. 4 after police said they found vape canisters containing cannabis oil in her luggage at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport. The Moscow region court said Monday it will hear her appeal. Griner’s lawyers argued after the conviction that the punishment was excessive. NWSL – Abuse in women’s pro soccer league was systemic, report says An independent investigation into the scandals that erupted in the National Women’s Soccer League found emotional abuse and sexual misconduct were systemic in the sport, impacting multiple teams, coaches and players. U.S. Soccer commissioned the investigation by former acting U.S. Attorney General Sally Yates and a law firm after former NWSL players Sinead Farrelly and Mana Shim came forward with allegations of harassment and sexual coercion dating back a decade. But it was clear the problems were widespread. Five of the 10 head coaches in the league last season either were fired or stepped down amid allegations of misconduct. Running – Man, 36, dies after running in London Marathon Organizers of the London Marathon say a 36-year-old man died after running in the race on Sunday. London Marathon Events says the man collapsed between miles 23 and 24 of the race. He received immediate medical treatment and an ambulance arrived within three minutes. He died in a hospital in London. The organizers expressed their “sincere condolences” to the man’s friends and family. The cause of death has yet to be established. Fishing – Authorities probing report of scandal at fishing tournament Prosecutors in Cleveland are investigating an apparent cheating scandal during a lucrative walleye fishing tournament over the weekend on Lake Erie. A Twitter video shows Jason Fischer, tournament director for the Lake Erie Walleye Trail event, on Friday cutting open walleye and finding lead weights and prepared fish filets inside the winning catch of five fish to bolster their weight. Anglers Jacob Runyan and Chase Cominsky were disqualified. Messages seeking comment were left Monday with Runyan, Cominsky and Fischer. A spokesperson for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources says ODNR officers gathered evidence. Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O’Malley in a statement said “these individuals will be held accountable.” Olympics – Publishing executive charged in Tokyo Olympic bribes scandal A top executive at a major Japanese publisher has been charged with bribing a former Tokyo Olympics organizing committee member. The charges against Tsuguhiko Kadokawa, a major figure in Japan’s movie and entertainment industry, are the latest in the unfolding corruption scandal related to last year’s Tokyo Summer Games. Kadokawa was arrested Sept. 14 on suspicion of bribing Haruyuki Takahashi with 69 million yen, or $480,000. Takahashi is a former executive at advertising company Dentsu who had great influence in arranging Olympic sponsorships. Kadokawa issued a statement saying he would quit as chairman.

Few would have expected that spectators at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics would include animals. And yet, coverage of the event featured several sightings of wildlife, particularly leopard cats apparently seeking to get in on the action.你可能想不到，北京2022年冬奥会的观众还有小动物。在赛事期间，一些野生动物也进入了人类的镜头，想要一睹赛事盛况，比如说豹猫们。On Jan 31, on the alpine ski slopes in Yanqing district, 90 kilometers northwest of Beijing, a leopard cat was spotted strolling through an award-ceremony rehearsal.1月31日，在距北京西北部90公里的延庆高山滑雪赛区，一只豹猫缓缓走过颁奖仪式的排练现场。 拍摄者：胡凯心The event caught the attention of volunteers and staff, with many snapping photos. Three days later, a Chinese photographer captured another leopard cat in the woods near the Olympic ski slopes. The creature ran past him, jumped over a fence and looked back.这只豹猫吸引了在场很多志愿者和工作人员的注意，他们还拍下了照片或视频。三天以后，也就是2月3日，中国的一位赛事记者又拍到了另一只豹猫出现在工作雪道边的树林里。这只豹猫从他身边慢跑到护网外，停住了，还转身观望。▲ 冬奥赛事记者在雪道边树林里拍到的豹猫Among those most excited by these sightings was Luo Shujin, an avid skier and a conservation biologist at Peking University.为这些景象激动不已的人中，有一位叫罗述金。她是北京冬奥高山滑雪项目的技术官员，还是北京大学生命科学学院的研究员。Leopard cats are wild felids, slightly larger than house cats, and they mostly steer clear of human activity. However, according to Luo, the frequent appearance of the animals close to the ski runs indicates that the species has persisted in this human-dominated landscape, which is relatively close to the megacity of Beijing. And, their calm demeanor suggests they are not frightened by human activity.豹猫是一种野生猫科动物，比家猫体型略大，大多数会避开人。而据罗述金介绍，豹猫出现在冬奥会滑雪赛场附近，说明该物种在北京周边地区以人类为主导的景观中仍能生存。而且，根据目击记录，这两次豹猫出现时都呈现出安静平和的状态，“并不怎么怕人”。▲ 罗述金在冬奥会赛区（采访者供图）Luo says in the absence of any research data, it is too early to draw any conclusions that the creation of the Olympic skiing venue has not affected the surrounding forests and wildlife. However, she says it's possible that the wild cats have to some extent already adapted to coexistence with humans, likely because people at the venue have not shown an aggressive attitude toward the animals since its construction.罗述金介绍说，目前还没有系统的研究调查数据，所以断定这里的野生动物不受场馆建设影响还为时过早。但她认为可能是自场馆建设开始以来已经很多年了，场地的人对于动物没有敌意，态度友善，所以当地的豹猫在一定程度上适应了人类的存在。Luo, 46, has been studying the wildlife around Yanqing for years. In December 2018, she was tracking leopard cat droppings on a hill when she discovered that the animals were living close to the ski resort. She found this surprising and decided to gather photographic evidence of wildlife in the area.罗述金现年46岁，在延庆地区周围从事野生动物研究工作已有数年。2018年12月，她在山坡上追踪豹猫粪便时发现豹猫的生存区域离冬奥雪道场所很近。这个发现让她很惊喜，于是决定在这个区域收集野生动物的图片资料。"I thought about that famous pictures of a puma walking by the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles, and I asked myself: Can we get a picture of a leopard cat walking by the alpine ski course of the Beijing Winter Olympics?"“我立刻联想到一只美洲狮在夜幕下正从洛杉矶好莱坞标志前山梁上通过的那张照片。我问自己：‘我们能拍到豹猫在北京冬奥会高山滑雪场旁散步的照片吗?'”▲ 在美国洛杉矶的格利菲公园拍到的公美洲狮。Steve Winter/National Geographic CreativeTo examine the state of the animal's population, she and her colleagues set up 10 infrared cameras along 15 km of the hilly trail. The efforts paid off. They got pictures of many wild animals, including roe deer, badgers, gorals and wild boar. Leopard cats were photographed three times, the first one caught on camera in February last year—with the Olympic ski runs in the background.为了检测野生动物的数量状况，她和同事们在山间15公里长的自然徒步路径上布设了大约10处红外相机固定监测点，拍下了很多野生动物，包括狍、猪獾、斑羚和野猪等动物。豹猫一共被拍到两三次，第一次是2021年2月，它的远处就是冬奥高山滑雪赛道。▲ 2021年2月，豹猫走过红外相机镜头，对面是冬奥会高山滑雪赛道"Who would have thought that this mountain trail, several kilometers away from the alpine skiing course of the Beijing Winter Olympics, would be frequented by leopard cats," she says.“有谁会想到呢，这条距离冬奥高山滑雪赛道不远的北京山野小径，居然是目前国内最频繁拍摄到豹猫的地方。”According to Luo, wild cats are rarely seen so close to big cities, especially metropolitan cities.罗述金介绍说，其实全世界有野生猫科动物存在的城市很少，至于首都城市，就更罕见了。"I think this is a little-known side of Beijing," says Luo, who is proud that such wildlife can be found so close to the capital city.“这其实是北京鲜为人知的一面，” 罗述金说，她对能在距离首都如此近的地方看到这样的野生动物感到很自豪。▲ 冬奥赛事记者在雪道边树林里拍到的豹猫。图源：新华社Luo sent the photo to the journal Science, along with a 300-word essay titled, The Hidden Olympic Spectator, which was published on July 23, 2021, the opening day of the 2020 Tokyo Summer Games.罗述金将照片发给《科学》杂志的编辑，还配了一篇300字小短文《隐秘的奥运观众》。照片和短文后来于2021年7月23日东京奥运会开幕当天发表。She also shared the discovery with the 2022 Beijing Winter Games organizing committee, explaining its significance in terms of biodiversity, helping them to build a picture of the relationship between winter sports and nature.罗述金还联系了北京冬奥组委，向奥组委展示了生物多样性的重要性，还阐述了冬季运动和自然之间的关系。Luo's relationship with this Winter Olympics has not been all hard work. She has also found time to indulge her passion for winter sports. After several tests, she was appointed as a technical officer on the Olympic alpine skiing referee team, bringing her even closer to the action. For Luo, being surrounded by hundreds of athletes and spectators was a thrill—a marked contrast to her solitary fieldwork.罗述金和北京冬奥会的联系不只有野生动物研究工作。她还抓住机会，实现了自己对冬季运动的热爱。经过几轮考察，她有了个新身份——北京冬奥高山滑雪国内技术官员，这让她离冬奥比赛更近了一步。对罗述金来说，和数百名运动员、观众共事让她很兴奋，这与她平日在人烟稀少的野外考察大不相同。"I was deeply touched by the exchange and communication at this grand event that spans races, languages and countries," she says. "Such an event causes me to hope that we can leverage our strengths to ensure continued coexistence between wilderness and human settlements."“我们被跨种族、跨语言、跨国家的一次世界性盛会的交流和沟通而深深触动，” 罗述金说道，“这样的盛会让我希望能够贡献出自己的力量，让野生环境和人类环境的共存状态维持下去。”▲ 罗述金将发表在《科学》杂志上的文章打印出来，并邀请不同国家地区代表在上面签名留念Now that the 2022 Winter Olympics have ended, Luo plans to continue her leopard cat research in Yanqing district, just as her many European counterparts have carried out studies on wildlife around ski resorts near the Alps.冬奥会结束后，罗述金计划回到延庆地区，像很多在阿尔卑斯山滑雪场地区进行野生动物研究的欧洲同行那样，她也会继续对豹猫和野生动物的研究工作。"The alpine skiing site on the outskirts of Beijing will be an excellent place to study how wild animals share the same space with humans," she says. "As we watch the skiers racing down the slopes, I know that the striding leopard cat will be watching us."“北京附近的高山滑雪场地，是研究人和野生动物如何实现共享生存空间的绝佳地点。”罗述金说，“正如我们观看滑雪运动员从雪坡上滑下来一样，我知道大步前进的豹猫也会注视着我们。”编辑：陈月华录音：Stephanie Stone来源：新华社 猫盟CFCA 三联生活周刊

We're back! Oh man, it's been a while but we have returned for 2022. If you missed the update, you can back and listen to that. The Beijing Winter Olympics just finished but they were far from having controversy. We'll be looking at the doping scandal involving Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva who was found with a banned substance but was allowed to continue. People were quick to notice this fact and compared this to American sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson's situation last year in the lead up to the Tokyo Summer Games and how she wasn't allowed to compete. But are these two situations the same? That's it for this week. Stay tuned for an all new, all different episode dropping soon. Also, don't forget to check out the award winning podcast October Jones and Fish with Legs. Thanks for listening. Peace.

每日英語跟讀 Ep.K311: The Winter Games — a different kind of Olympics   The first so-called modern Olympics took place in 1896 in Athens, Greece. But the inaugural Winter Olympics were not held until 1924 in Chamonix, France. 第一屆所謂的現代奧運會於1896年在希臘雅典舉行。但首屆冬季奧運會直到1924年才在法國霞慕尼舉行。 From 1924 to 1992, the Winter and Summer Olympics were the same year. In '92 the Winter Games were celebrated in Albertville, France, followed by the Summer Games in Barcelona, Spain. 從1924年到1992年，冬季和夏季奧運會是同一年。92年，冬季奧運會在法國阿爾貝維爾舉行，隨後在西班牙巴塞羅那舉行夏季奧運會。 Then change came. 然後就改變了。 Since 1994, an Olympics has been held every two years. The '94 Winter Olympics took place in Lillehammer, Norway, followed by the Summer Games in 1996 in Atlanta, the US. Nagano, Japan, was next in 1998 with the Winter Games. That pattern was broken by the postponement of the 2020 Tokyo Summer Games until 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic. 自1994年以來，每兩年舉行一次奧運會。94年冬季奧運會在挪威利勒哈默爾舉行，隨後於1996年在美國亞特蘭大舉行夏季奧運會。日本長野在1998年是冬季奧運會的下一個。由於冠狀病毒大流行，2020年東京夏季運動會推遲到2021年，打破了這種模式。 The Beijing Winter Games opened on Friday last week, just six months after Tokyo closed. They'll be followed by the Summer Olympics in 2024 in Paris, France. Here's a breakdown of why things have unfolded as they have. 北京冬季運動會於上週五開幕，距離東京奧運會閉幕僅六個月。緊隨其後的是2024年在法國巴黎舉行的夏季奧運會。以下是事情為什麼會像現在這樣展開的細分。   WHY WERE THE GAMES MOVED TO EVERY TWO YEARS? Olympic historian Bill Mallon suggests the International Olympic Committee (IOC) was looking for more revenue. The IOC, he says, “thought they could get more sponsorship money by spreading the Games out more.” Every two years also kept the Olympics in the public eye, and the move dovetailed with the increasing commercialization and professionalization of the Games.   為什麼奧運會要每兩年舉辦一次？ 奧運歷史學家比爾·馬龍（Bill Mallon）表示，國際奧會（IOC）正在尋找更多的收入。他說，國際奧會「認為他們可以通過更多地傳播奧運會來獲得更多的讚助資金。 每兩年一次，奧運會也保持在公眾視野中，此舉與奧運會日益商業化和專業化相吻合。   BEIJING: FIRST FOR BOTH WINTER AND SUMMER Beijing is the most unlikely city to be the first to host both Summer and Winter Olympics. Of all the Winter Olympic hosts, it has the least tradition in winter sports.   北京：冬季和夏季第一 北京是最不可能同時舉辦夏季和冬季奧運會的城市。在所有冬季奧運會主辦方中，它擁有最少的冬季運動傳統。   Beijing was a longshot for 2022 until six European countries — including favorites Norway and Sweden — dropped out for cost or political reasons. Germany and Switzerland said “no” in referendums. The IOC was left to choose between Beijing and Almaty, Kazakhstan. The Beijing Winter Olympics are expected to draw about 2,900 athletes from about 90 national Olympic committees. The Tokyo Olympics six months ago attracted 11,000 from just over 200 national bodies. 北京2022冬奧本是幾乎不可能的計劃，直到六個歐洲國家 - 包括最受歡迎的挪威和瑞典 - 由於成本或政治原因退出。德國和瑞士在公投中說"不"。國際奧會只能在北京和哈薩克阿拉木圖之間做出選擇。 北京冬奧會預計將吸引來自約90個國家奧會的約2900名運動員。六個月前的東京奧運會吸引了來自200多個國家機構的11000人。 Source article: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang/archives/2022/02/08/2003772708

*) Peacekeepers of Russia-led military bloc begin Kazakhstan mission Russian paratroopers have been deployed to Kazakhstan for a peacekeeping operation, along with troops from four other former Soviet republics. The deployment came in response to an appeal from the president of Kazakhstan to help stabilise the country amid a wave of protests sparked by a fuel price rise. Reports of casualties continue to emerge from the oil-rich country. The media reported dozens of protesters killed while the Kazakh interior ministry said 26 "armed criminals" had been "liquidated". *) Trump's Twitter alternative TRUTH Social to be launched next month Former US president Donald Trump's new media venture plans to launch its social media app Truth Social on February 21st. TRUTH Social, the Trump Media & Technology Group alternative to Twitter, offers features to follow other people and trending topics. Its message equivalent to a tweet will be dubbed "truth". The app's launch would come 13 months after Facebook and Twitter banned Trump over his encouraging supporters to participate in the January 6th Capitol attack. ​​​*) Banned from Olympics, North Korea blames Covid and 'hostile forces' A letter from North Korea to China blamed "hostile forces" and Covid-19 risks for not being able to attend the upcoming Winter Olympics in Beijing. Pyongyang also accused the United States of trying to prevent the Games' success. But, North Korea had already been suspended from the International Olympic Committee until the end of 2022 in September for refusing to send a team to the Tokyo Summer Games. *) Almost 100,000 children lost parents to Covid in Peru Covid-19 has killed at least one parent or primary caregiver for nearly 100,000 children in Peru, its government has reported. "Unfortunately our country has almost 98,000 children who lost their father, mother or guardian during the pandemic," said Peru's Minister of Women Anahi Durand, citing figures published in the medical journal The Lancet. Peru has the world's highest coronavirus death rate, with more than 6,000 Peruvians per million having died from the disease. And finally … *) Djokovic family lashes out at his treatment in Australia Novak Djokovic's family and fans have railed against the tennis superstar's shock detention in Australia. His father Srdjan Djokovic said his son was the victim of a "political witch hunt" and "corona fascism", and should be freed. Fans also chanted "free Novak" outside Melbourne's Park Hotel which now serves as a detention centre. The vaccine-sceptic tennis ace was detained on arrival in Australia, and his visa was revoked, earlier this week due to Covid-19 restrictions.

What's Up, Skaters?! Goddamn, got some cobwebs to brush off, but we do it in style with the first-ever FULL-CAST episode about everyone's favorite topic: The 2020 Tokyo Summer Games.

Which kinda sounds like a line from that song Candy Jail. Listen up, have fun and drop a Cab back lip of your own. We love you and we'll be back soon now that the writer of these here notes has settled into his new permanent residence.

Victorious Falan sits down to interview Chuukese Olympian Scott James Fiti, a sprinter who had the lifetime honor of being the flag-bearer for the FSM in the Tokyo Summer Games.

The Tokyo Summer Olympics has come to an end. Chinese Olympic athletes returned home with honors. After passing the customs health requirements, they went to different cities for quarantine on the requirements of epidemic prevention. How did they kill time?目前，东京奥运会已降下帷幕。中国奥运健儿载誉归来，在顺利通过海关卫生检疫后，他们按照防疫要求分赴多个城市进行隔离。隔离期的生活，他们是如何度过的呢？Gong Lijiao, champion of the women's shot put at the Tokyo Summer Games declared, "I'm back home, finally! We all have returned safely to the motherland. I've been in isolation for a while and I'll try to keep interacting with you guys. Cool?"东京奥运会女子铅球冠军巩立姣：“回国啦，回国啦，终于回国啦，我们已经安全到达祖国的怀抱。这一段时间我一直在隔离，我会争取和大家多点互动，也不知道你们愿不愿意啊？”Zhu Xueying, champion of the women's trampoline at Olympics said, "Hi, everyone. We've also returned to Beijing for isolation."东京奥运会女子蹦床冠军朱雪莹：“嗨，大家好。我们现在也已经回国，到北京开启了隔离生活。”Sun Yiwen, champion of the women's individual heavy fencing at the Tokyo Olympics announced, "This is my isolation room. Here is my name. Let's have a look at my room. Proper preparations are always made in advance! The food is ready. Let me show you the environment."东京奥运会女子个人重剑冠军孙一文：“我的隔离房间到了，我的名字，然后看一下我的房间。兵马未到，粮草先行，吃的已经安排上了。然后这是我房间的环境。”Zhao Shuai, bronze medal winner of the men's 68kg taekwondo category at the Tokyo Games said, "Hello everyone! I'm in isolation right now. Let me show you guys what I'm having for dinner tonight. There's soup, fruit, yogurt, rice, meat and green vegetables."东京奥运会跆拳道男子68公斤级季军赵帅：“大家好，我现在正在隔离，给各位小伙伴看看我今天晚上吃什么。有汤、水果、酸奶、米饭、肉、青菜。”Liu Yang, champion of the men's rings at the Tokyo Summer Olympics exclaimed, "You know, I like to drink coffee. I will show you today how to make coffee during my isolation. The first cup is for you guys."东京奥运会男子吊环冠军刘洋：“大家应该都知道我喜欢喝咖啡，我今天就让你们看看我隔离生活是怎么做咖啡的。第一杯先请你们喝。”Yang Haoran, champion of the 10m air rifle mixed team at the Olympics explained, "Usually I will also do some exercise in the house but I will not record it to embarrass myself. Those athletes of physical class made it much better! Do you know why I didn't upload videos of playing the guitar in the past two days? Because I think it is inappropriate for me to record my playing the guitar every day while other athletes in the house practice very hard. I am afraid you may forget that I am still a shooter!"东京奥运会射击10米气步枪混合团体冠军杨皓然：“平时在屋里也会简单活动一下，但是跟那些体能类的体能项目的大佬比不了，我就不录了，不丢那人了。为什么这两天没发弹琴的视频？别的项目的大佬们在屋里边练得满头大汗，我在这天天发扒拉弦子的视频不太合适，我怕你们忘了我还是一个射击运动员。”Guan Chenchen, champion of the women's balance beam at the Games said, "Recently everyone said I moved like a kangaroo at the Olympics, which made my favorite blogger Mr Xiaoliang suddenly come to my mind. Here, I want to ask Mr Xiaoliang: can a kangaroo really lower its waist?"东京奥运会女子平衡木冠军管晨辰：“最近看大家都说我的动作像袋鼠摇，突然想到了一直喜欢的小亮老师，就想问问小亮老师，袋鼠是真的可以下腰吗？”Liu Shiwen, runner-up of the table tennis mixed doubles at the Tokyo Olympics announced, "Hello everyone! I have returned and my 21 days of isolation also started. I have seen all the messages that everyone has given me. They're really touching. Thank you all for your support all the time! I will keep fighting."东京奥运会乒乓球混双亚军刘诗雯：“大家好，我已经回来了，现在也已经开始了21天的隔离生活。大家给我的留言我也都看到了，也非常感动，感谢大家一直以来对我的支持，我会继续加油的。”Liu Shiying, champion of the women's javelin at the Summer Games said, "One of the most memorable moments of the Olympic journey was actually the moment when I turned around and saw my family and friends cheering me on when I knew I was the champion with my last shot. Another unforgotten moment was when the national anthem was played on the podium. Actually, I was wearing a mask but my voice was trembling when I was singing our national anthem."东京奥运会女子标枪冠军刘诗颖：“奥运之旅最难忘的一个瞬间其实是在我最后一枪知道我自己锁定冠军的时候，回头看到我的亲友团给我加油的那个瞬间。然后还有一个瞬间就是在领奖台上奏响国歌的一个瞬间，其实我戴着口罩，但是我唱歌的时候我的声音是颤抖的。”During the quarantine, the athletes not only shared their isolation lives, but also their exercise routines with netizens. Zhu Xueying, Li Wenwen, Li Fabin, Wang Shun and other athletes did not "take the chance" to rest. Instead, they started exercising immediately. 在隔离期间，除了分享自己的隔离生活外，运动员们也没闲着。朱雪莹、李雯雯、李发彬、汪顺等运动员并没有“趁机”休息，而是马不停蹄地开始锻炼身体。Netizens said: "How can athletes be so self-disciplined!", "Those who say they have no conditions to do fitness at home all day! Just look at the athletes!"网友表示：“运动员真的好自律”、“那些整天说自己在家里没有健身条件的！看过来！” 1. customs美 ['kʌstəmz] 英 ['kʌstəmz]n.关税；（政府部门）海关；（港口或机场的）海关；进口税网络：习俗；风俗习惯；海关的 2. javelin美 ['dʒævəlɪn] 英 ['dʒæv(ə)lɪn]n.标枪；投掷标枪项目（或运动）网络：投枪；标枪飞弹；镖枪3. runner-up美 [ˈrʌnə(r)ˌʌp] 英 ['rʌnə(r)ʌp]n.第二名网络：亚军；季军；第十二季第二名

Katie Zaferes is one of the world's top triathletes on the U.S Olympic Triathlon Team competing in the Tokyo Summer Games.  We caught up a few weeks ago, just a few days after she placed on the U.S Team and was preparing for her journey to Tokyo. Katie and I talk all things triathlon- training, nutrition, racing and how she is preparing for competition on the world's biggest stage.  Katie shares how she discovered the sport of triathlon. She talks about what it's like to travel all over the world for competition, and she details some of her most unforgettable race locations, and shares some of the mantras that power her through during tough conditions.  Katie tells me the story of how triathlon led her to meet her husband, and the beauty of getting to share her passion for sport with her loved ones.  Of course, I ask Katie all about her preparation and what she's most looking forward to at this year's Olympics. Katie made her debut as an elite athlete on the triathlon scene back in 2013 since then she has won 23 World Triathlon Series medals, including six gold medals. She made the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team and won her first world championship in 2019. Katie is also a three-time medalist in mixed relay at the world championships, most recently taking silver in 2020. I so enjoyed my conversation with Katie, and I can't wait to watch her crush the competition in Tokyo.

Tuesday July 20: Wildfires rage across British Columbia, triggering a state of emergency; heavy rains cause deadly flooding in the capital of China's Henan province; and, Canadians reflect on competing at the 1964 Tokyo Summer Games. 

U.S. distance runner Molly Seidel earned her trip to the Tokyo Summer Games when she finished second in the 2019 Olympic marathon trials—which was also the first marathon she'd ever run. On this episode, Molly talks about wanting to eat the other runners' lunch, how she ran on a broken pelvis for a year, embracing the feeling of being “a pot of water about to boil over," and the lessons that she and her trainer, Jon Green, have learned from training at peak discomfort.

When cyclist Dotsie Bausch quit dairy at 37, many in her circle warned it would jeopardize her Olympic dreams. The opposite happened. Her athletic recovery and performance went through the roof and propelled her forward to victory in the 2012 London Olympic Games. Now, she has a message for other athletes and consumers worldwide. Dotsie founded switch4good.org to spread the word. A growing number of Olympic athletes are joining the call to ditch dairy now! It was pretty mind blowing; without animal foods, my recovery time sped up and my output increased, Bausch shares. I had more energy and was able to gain more strength and in the end, was able to leg press 585 pounds x 60 reps x 5 sets without animals on my plate. The guys in the gym just scratched their heads watching me. Explaining what drives her to reach and educate others, Bausch explains, I want folks to be better informed and experience the secret to overall health and performance, be more disease resistant, and be aware of the lies the dairy industry perpetuates to us—which are motivated entirely by profit, not the betterment of our health or our planet. In addition to all the outreach work and resources she provides through Switch4Good, Bausch starred in James Cameron's The Game Changers (one of the most-watched documentary on Netflix) and gave an Olympic Level Compassion TED talk. Dotsie co-hosts a popular Switch4Good podcast (.5M downloads, listeners in 90 countries, 130+ episodes). And, she spoke before Congress to help change U.S. dietary guidelines. Going vegan is actually quite popular. A recent Ipsos survey revealed a 300% increase in Americans becoming vegan from 2004 to 2019. A vegetarian eats no meat. Vegans also don't consume dairy or other animal products. What I've learned about dairy – the industry itself, and consuming it – would simply shock 95% of the population, Bausch explained. It's as eye opening as it is upsetting. Dairy makes most people sick. Nearly 70% of the global population (and 70-95% of minorities) are lactose intolerant. Basically, the majority of people get sick if they consume any dairy at all. A National Institutes of Health report stated that approximately 65 percent of the human population has a reduced ability to digest lactose after infancy. Symptoms of lactose intolerance include abdominal cramping, bloating, and diarrhea. Eliminating the dairy helps people have more comfortable gut health.
