TOKYO (News4usonline) – I had no idea what I was in store for when I attended and covered the Paralympics Games as a photographer in Tokyo. After three days of quarantine in a hotel after arriving, I was ready to get out and start shooting all these events. On the afternoon of the Paralympics Opening Ceremony, I headed over to Tokyo Olympic Stadium for a photo briefing. I scanned the room where hundreds of photographers lined up from around the world and it was beyond impressive. Later, all the photographers walked into the stadium and we set up at our…
COSTA MESA (News4usonline) The Pacific Amphitheatre is a terrific venue to host such outstanding shows like the live performance put on by The Commodores and WAR on Aug. 5. The Commodores opened the show, performing hit after hit, with the full house singing along. They got the crowd going with one of their top 10 hits, “Lady.” They didn’t stop there. “Brickhouse,” perhaps the group’s signature song, kept the crowd on their feet. Walter Orange commanded the full stage with his “Nightshift” pitch with William King and JD Nicholas backing up his top hits. Just when you thought the evening…
Angkor Wat, Siem Reap To experience Angkor Wat is to experience heaven on earth. This enormous Buddhist temple is the largest religious monument in the world and IT IS magnificent. Originally built during the Khmer Empire in 1113 CE, Angkor Wat was dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu, known as the “Protector.” Surrounding Angkor Wat are over 100 temples, including Bayon, one of the weirdest temples, made up of immense stone faces; or Ta Prohm, known as “Tomb Raider Temple” with the Banyan roots surround the temples or Being Mealea, the Titanic of temples, the ultimate Indiana Jones experience. The…
ARLINGTON, TX – Eight seconds and a cloud of dust. Eight seconds of adrenaline-pumping, heart-pounding excitement, hold your breath energy with some of the toughest athletes in the world. If you try riding 2,000-pound bulls for a living, you’d be skin tough, too. These athletes are the bull riding cowboys who face off with these bucking beasts for eight seconds or less. From the moment the gates fly open, the crowd goes crazy. They know what’s coming. A snarling, bucking animal packed into a couple of thousand pounds of less than nice intent trying their very best dislodge the human…
ATLANTA, GA (News4usonline) – Over 700 top American marathon athletes flooded downtown Atlanta for the U.S. Marathon Olympic Team Trials, facing one of the toughest marathon courses with gusty 20 mph winds, cold weather and a brutal hilly course to overcome that climbed 1,389 feet uphill and descended 1,382 feet. The runners pushed themselves through this challenging course with the top athletes finishing the course in less than two and a half hours earning seats to represent Team USA at the Tokyo Olympic Games. Many of the top seeded runners had strong starts, but ended up fading and dropping out…
LAS VEGAS — The Washington Huskies sent coach Chris Petersen into retirement the same way he opened his head coaching career – with a bowl win. Washington dominated No. 19 Boise State – which Petersen earned his first bowl victory with in his first season as a head coach in 2006 – as Jacob Eason threw for 210 yards and a touchdown and Elijah Molden was named MVP after intercepting a pass and forcing a fumble, during a 38-7 victory over the Broncos on Saturday night. Toward the end of the game, and as Petersen made his way across the…
Rumor has it that this workout or tryout for Colin Kaepernick was solely determined by the NFL and he was given no options as far as the location, date or time. Media outlets like ESPN’s The Undefeated validates this point. The Undefeated reported that the NFL had set things up where Kaepernick’s team was not allowed to videotape the original workout and banned the media from covering the event. The league’s shady approach to this staged workout forced Kaepernick to go in another direction of creating his own workout space with the media. I really don’t think this workout was…
