CNN  —  First, it was the Stanford Cardinals – then, it was the Indiana Hoosiers. March Madness is certainly living up to its name as Indiana became the second No. 1 seed to be knocked out of the women’s NCAA basketball tournament in successive days after losing 70-68 to the No. 9 seed Miami Hurricanes on Monday. Despite tying the game at 68-68 with a three-pointer from Yarden Garzon with just eight seconds left, Indiana was unable to hold on as Miami forward Destiny Harden’s floater with three seconds remaining put the Hurricanes in front where they were able to hold on until the final buzzer. The upset result marked the first time multiple No. 1 seeds have fallen before the Sweet 16 in the women’s bracket since 1998. That year, No. 16 Harvard was the first ever 16-seed to upset a first seed (Stanford), while No. 9 Notre Dame…

The Isles of Scilly Football League used to consist of four teams before the 1950s, but is now contested by the Woolpack Wanderers and Garrison Gunners, seen here in 2017When Anthony Gibbons joined a Sunday morning kickabout, he didn't imagine it would lead to being David Beckham's body double. But it turns out playing in the world's smallest league is a less predictable experience than it first appears.The Isles of Scilly Football League consists of just two teams - the Woolpack Wanderers and Garrison Gunners. Not only do the sides face off in 18 league games each season, but they also compete in two annual cup competitions - both two-legged affairs with no away goals rule - and a Charity Shield-style exhibition. The duopoly makes it the smallest league of its kind in the world. Technically it is an intra-club league, because both teams are registered to St Mary's, a…

CNN  —  Tennis great Rafael Nadal has slipped out of the ATP top 10 for the first time since 2005 as he continues to regain his fitness. The Spaniard has not played competitively since the Australian Open and was forced to skip Indian Wells last week as he continues to recover from a hip injury, meaning he’s now fallen down to world No. 13. The 22-time grand slam champion spent 912 weeks in the top 10 – a record for the men’s game. Current world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz was only one year old when Nadal first broke into the top 10. However, Nadal’s stay outside of the top rankings may be short lived, with the 36-year-old eyeing a return in time for the clay court season. He has posted multiple pictures and videos on social media in recent weeks, showing him practicing on clay courts. Current men's singles ATP…

CNN  —  It’s usually relatively difficult to fail to notice a superyacht, but this new concept from Jozeph Forakis Design has actually been designed to disappear into the background. Described as “virtually invisible” both in design and environmental impact, the 88-meter Pegasus concept is to be the world’s first 3D printed superyacht, according to the designer. The huge vessel will feature “wings” with mirrored glass that reflect its surroundings to try to enable it to blend in. The superyacht’s superstructure is to be fitted with solar panels that power electrolyzers extracting hydrogen from seawater. The hydrogen will then be converted into electricity, which is stored in lithium-ion battery banks that can be…

CNN  —  The Miami Dolphins officially exercised quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s fifth-year option on his rookie contract on Monday. The 24-year-old is now contracted with the team through the 2024 season. He will be guaranteed $23.2 million for the 2024 season, according to the NFL. Tagovailoa was the NFL’s highest-rated passer last season with a 105.5 rating, becoming the youngest player to lead the league in passer rating since former Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino did so in 1984. However, despite showing flashes of the promise the Dolphins saw in him coming out of Alabama, Tagovailoa had a tumultuous season last year, particularly down to his battles with head injuries. Tagovailoa suffered three concussions throughout the year, raising scrutiny about the NFL’s concussion protocols. His health scares started September 25 in a game against the Buffalo Bills, when Tagovailoa stumbled backward and fell during a play, hitting his head on the turf.…
