by Albert Silver

9/13/2016 – The win by the US at 2016 Baku can only be described as historic, winning in the largest and toughest field ever. Ukraine held on to their pace and took silver, while Russia took bronze. Board one gold medal went to Baadur Jobava, and take note of board three bronze medal by 64-year-old Eugenio Torre! The Women's event saw China overcome Russia in an epic match, the first team gold for Hou Yifan, and denying Russia any medal. Poland took silver for their greatest result in Olympiads ever, while Ukraine took bronze. Express report.

Some StarCraft 2 player known only as "Neeb" from somewhere in USA#1 has just become the first non Korean to win a Korean event in the history of the game, and the first for the series as a whole since back when Elky played seriously before online poker was a thing

"The fans broke other cardinal rules of golfing etiquette — such as openly rooting for balls to go into the water and shouting while players were taking shots.

Some could be heard yelling, “Noonan!” at European players,""
