The Wave dominates but plays to 0-0 tie with the Washington Spirit

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The San Diego Wave dominated possession but couldn't break through in a scoreless draw with the Washington Spirit in the National Women's Soccer League on Sunday night.
The Wave (7-3-3) have dropped only one of their last five matches. San Diego's 24 points are the most they've had through the first 13 games in club history.
The match was the last before the NWSL goes on its summer hiatus. The league resumes play on Aug. 1.
Spirit goalkeeper Aubrey Kingsbury kept her team in the game with six saves. The Wave had the ball more than 65% of the match and made 16 shots, including six on target.
It was the fourth straight draw between the two teams.
The Spirit (7-4-2) had won their first five road matches this season before falling 2-0 at Portland last weekend.
Spirit coach Jonatan Giraldez did not travel with the team to San Diego because his partner Olaia is expecting the couple's second child. Assistant Adrian Gonzalez took his place.

F1 rookie Kimi Antonelli passes his final exams to graduate from high school

BOLOGNA, Italy (AP) — Formula 1 rookie Kimi Antonelli passed his final exams to graduate from high school back home in Italy just like he's been passing other cars on tracks around the world: without trouble. The 18-year-old Mercedes driver made the announcement in an Instagram story Monday, saying 'promosso' — 'passed' — with a photo of himself wearing a laurel wreath. After claiming his first podium result with a third-place finish at the Canadian Grand Prix, Antonelli returned home to Casalecchio di Reno, near Bologna, to take his exams. 'I was fairly stressed, because I didn't have much time to study. But I did my best,' Antonelli told reporters after taking the first portion of exams last week. He said English is his favorite subject 'because that's the one that comes easiest for me.' Antonelli added that he wanted to complete the exams, which included both written and oral sections, before the upcoming Austrian GP 'so I can focus full time on racing.' ___ AP auto racing:

Photo by David Goldman / AP PARIS — France's court of auditors provided Monday the first official estimate of public spending tied to the 2024 Paris Olympics and Paralympics, with the global public expenditure estimated at nearly six billion euros ($6.8 billion).

Create Account The Cour des Comptes said in its preliminary report, which was published ahead of the 2030 Winter Olympics also awarded to France, that the spending includes (euro)2.77 billion for the event organization and (euro)3.19 billion for infrastructure investments. Paris 2024 organizers challenged the estimates in comments attached to the report. They notably said that some expenditures which predated the event and will continue afterward can't be attributed to Games. They also said that attributing major investments to the Olympics, despite being unrelated projects launched long before, is unjustified. 'Through its methodological choices, the Court has in fact declined to examine the only question that would meaningfully inform public debate: how much public money would have been saved if the Games had not been held in Paris?,' said Tony Estanguet, the former head of the organizing committee. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'It is undeniable that this amount would be far less than the (euro)6 billion currently cited by the court. The organizing committee, as it already stated during the contradictory procedure, estimates that this figure does not exceed (euro)2 billion, while the expected economic benefits of the Games are said to represent three to five times that amount,' he added. The Cour des Comptes insisted that its progress report is based on data available as of March 31, 2025, and does not claim to draw final conclusions. 'The report does not include, due to unavailable data, any analysis of the positive or negative effects of the Games on economic activity or tax revenues, nor an assessment of tax expenditures related to their organization,' the Cour said in a summary statement. 'On this last point, the tax authorities informed the Court that no overall estimate is currently planned. This position is unsatisfactory, and the Court calls on the State to begin this evaluation without delay.' Toronto Maple Leafs Sunshine Girls Sunshine Girls Relationships Editorials

The Thunder are NBA champions, and they might be just getting started

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The promise came three years ago from Oklahoma City general manager Sam Presti. It might have been overlooked for a couple of reasons. One, the Thunder were awful at the time. Two, he was speaking Latin. 'Labor omnia vincit,' Presti said after the 2021-22 season, quoting a motto of Oklahoma. Depending on how Presti was translating it, it could have been 'hard work conquers all' or 'slow work conquers all.'
