SOCCER
MADRID (AP) – Barcelona is celebrating yet another Spanish league title to cap a nearly perfect season.
Unbeaten Barcelona added to its domestic dominance by winning La Liga for the third time in the last four seasons on Sunday, remaining unbeaten after 34 rounds. Lionel Messi scored a hat trick and Philippe Coutinho added a goal to give Barcelona a 4-2 win at Deportivo La Coruna and an insurmountable 11-point lead over Atletico Madrid.
”We know how difficult it is to win this league,” Messi said. ”We were better than our rivals. There is a lot of merit to winning this title without any losses.”
Barcelona has won 26 league games and drawn eight, with four matches left.
It was Barcelona’s seventh league title in 10 seasons and 25th overall. Real Madrid, last year’s champion, leads with 33 La Liga trophies.
SURFING
SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) – Rodrigo Koxa has been credited with a world record for riding the biggest wave ever surfed.
The World Surf League confirmed the record at its Big Wave Awards in Santa Monica on Saturday, saying its judging panel determined that a wave Koxa surfed at Naraze, Portugal, on Nov. 8 was 80 feet (24.38 meters).
The Brazilian surfer’s mark overtook the record of 78 feet (23.77 meters) which Garrett McNamara set in 2011.
”The award goes to the surfer who, by any means available, catches the biggest wave of the year,” The WSL said in a statement. ”Not only did Koxa win this year’s honor, but he now holds the Guinness World Record for the biggest wave surfed.
Koxa described the award as ”a dream come true.”
PARALYMPICS
Paralympic Games organizers hope U.S. President Donald Trump won’t find it tough to watch their events in future.
The International Paralympic Committee pointed to the growing reach of its competitions in response to comments made on Friday by Trump when American athletes from the Winter Olympics and Paralympics in Pyeongchang were welcomed to the White House.
”What happened with the Paralympics was so incredible and so inspiring to me
Henry Anderson Jersey , and I watched,” Trump said, surrounded by members of Team USA. ”It’s a little tough to watch too much, but I watched as much as I could.”
The Paralympics in March were broadcast in the U.S. on NBC, NBCSN, and streamed on the NBC website.
”Record numbers of people around the world are not finding the Paralympics tough to watch,” IPC communications director Craig Spence told The Associated Press on Saturday. ”Billions of viewers now take in the Paralympics in hundreds of countries around the world.
PRO BASKETBALL
PHOENIX (AP) – A person with knowledge of the situation said interim coach Jay Triano is not among ”handful” of remaining candidates for the Phoenix Suns coaching job.
The person, who asked to remain anonymous because the search is ongoing, said the Suns are in the midst of second interviews ”with a handful of candidates still in the mix.”
Triano served as interim coach for all but the first three games of last season after Earl Watson was abruptly fired. Triano guided an exceedingly young and injury-plagued team to a 21-61 record, worst in the NBA and second-worst in franchise history.
Phoenix has the most ping pong balls and therefore the best chance of landing the No. 1 overall pick in next months’ draft lottery.
The Suns conducted initial interviews with a wide range of candidates, including Triano.
With 17 career starts in three seasons, Los Angeles Rams inside linebacker Ramik Wilson might not look like a grizzled veteran.
However, at a position where the second and third-most experienced players have combined for six career starts and the other three are rookies, the 25-year-old Wilson certainly qualifies.
”We have a lot of youth at that position. We have a lot of guys
Chase Daniel Jersey , other than Mark Barron, that haven’t been starters before. To be able to get (Ramik) in free agency was great,” linebackers coach Joe Barry said.
The Rams needed to add experience after trading starting linebacker Alec Ogletree to the New York Giants. Cory Littleton had started five games in two seasons while backing up Barron, but would get the first chance to replace Ogletree at middle linebacker. Bryce Hager’s only start came in Week 17 last season when the Rams rested players ahead of their home playoff game.
Wilson fit the bill after starting 11 games and recording 61 tackles for Kansas City in 2016, but saw his playing time reduced last season after the Chiefs traded for former second-round draft pick Reggie Ragland. When the Chiefs did not tender a contract to Wilson, he agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Rams in March weeks after they agreed to trade Ogletree.
The opportunity to play for defensive coordinator Wade Phillips was something Wilson could not pass up, especially with the chance to move back to his more natural position playing on the weak side.
”It just made perfect sense,” Wilson said. ”I can run to the ball and I can flow. I can make plays. I can do what I’m supposed to do.”
Barry liked Wilson coming out of college at Georgia, and his subsequent experience as both a starter and backup for the Chiefs made Wilson even more appealing.
”As an NFL player, you’ve got to prepare subtly different if you’re the guy as the starter compared to if you’re the backup. He’s been in both roles, so I think that means a lot,” Barry said.
Wilson’s ability to adjust was evident during OTAs. With Barron sitting out because of injuries, Wilson was paired with Littleton as part of the first-team defense. The two quickly meshed, and the partnership seems to have only grown as Wilson and Littleton continued to work together early in training camp
http://www.dallascowboysteamonline.com/darren-woodson-jersey , with Barron being worked back in cautiously.
Barry could not take credit for the chemistry Wilson and Littleton have displayed.
”When two guys go out and they take over 200 snaps together in OTAs, they are going to build a rapport together. It just happens naturally,” Barry said.
Despite the inexperience of the group, Wilson likes how they are progressing. How the linebackers perform might determine whether the play of the Rams defense matches the hysteria created by signing defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh and trading for cornerbacks Aqib Talib and Marcus Peter in the offseason, and Wilson has not seen anything to indicate the inside linebackers are not ready for the challenge.
”They are right along and they are ready to go, the whole room,” Wilson said. ”We’ve got a lot of expectations, but we know we’ve got the talent. We’re just putting in the work each day now and taking it one day at a time. That’s all we are going to do, and the results will show at the end of the day.”
NOTES: Rams head coach Sean McVay said Saturday there was no update regarding All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald’s holdout, but they have been in contact via telephone. ”I spoke with him in the last day or so, and we’re just checking in, seeing how he’s doing,” McVay said.
