(CNN) — La emoción de hacer historia no debería amargarse. Es el momento, la hazaña magnífica, única en la vida, lo que debería ser la causa de que el tiempo se detuviera; las cámaras enfocando a cámara lenta a las triunfadoras que levantan el premio ganado, los teletipos cayendo del cielo como por arte de magia, el talento extraordinario eclipsando todo lo demás. Pero ése no es el mundo en el que vivimos.El mes pasado, España ganó por primera vez la Copa Mundial Femenina de la FIFA y, apenas dos semanas después, poco se habla de su éxito.El equipo, talentoso pero joven, no podía desafiar a los pesos pesados del deporte, sobre todo porque muchas de las mejores jugadoras del país se habían quedado en casa tras haberse negado un año antes a jugar con su país hasta que mejoraran las normas dentro de la selección nacional.Incluso inmediatamente después de la victoria, los pensamientos se desviaron hacia las jugadoras que habían quedado fuera.

He was taken to the hospital, and his Ducati team said that he sustained multiple contusions but no fractures.“Luckily (Bagnaia) has nothing broken. Just sore,” Ducati team manager Davide Tardozzi said on X, formerly known as Twitter, along with photos of his rider giving a “thumbs up” gesture.Shortly before Bagnaia went down, his teammate Enea Bastianini was hurt in another crash between several riders. Bastianini sustained a fracture in his left ankle and a fracture in his left hand, Ducati said.Aleix Espargaro won the race in front of the home crowd.Bagnaia leads overall with 260 points, ahead of Jorge Martin with 210.___AP sports: https://apnews.com/hub/apf-sportsSource4 astronauts head home from space station after hurricane passes through Florida

MOUNT DORA, Fla. (AP) — Some central Florida lawmakers said they were considering “all legislative, legal and executive options available” to stop business owners in a small city from voluntarily displaying rainbow decals in their windows indicating that they are a “safe place” for LGBTQ+ people who feel threatened.Four Republican lawmakers wrote a letter to officials in Mount Dora two weeks ago warning that the new, optional city-sponsored program could put the central Florida community outside Orlando “in the crosshairs of potentially detrimental and absolutely unnecessary economic harm.”The lawmakers cited boycotts of Bud Light and Target, which followed the brands’ efforts to promote diversity and inclusion of the LGBTQ+ community.Mount Dora’s city council approved the Safe Place Initiative last month. The city of 17,000 residents is known for its antique shops and weekend festivals.“The mission of the Safe Place Initiative is to provide the community with ...Shooting outside wedding venue in Ottawa leaves 2 dead, 6 injured, police say

Zoo New England’s Franklin Park Zoo announced Sunday that after further health decline, Kamaia, their 14-year-old lion, was humanely euthanized on Saturday.Zoo New England said Kamaia has battled several health issues including a bout with severe pneumonia from which he recovered and other chronic health issues. On June 9, he underwent a successful splenectomy and blood transfusion. Prior to this surgery, an exam revealed that Kamaia was severely anemic with a greatly enlarged spleen. Kamaia underwent a second surgery to repair a hernia at his incision site. He recovered from his surgery and for the past several months could be seen sunning himself and lounging about his outdoor habitat with his brother Dinari. “Kamaia was an incredible ambassador for his species, and we are deeply saddened to share the news of his passing,” said John Linehan, Zoo New England President and CEO, in a statement. “Throughout the past several months, his dedicated care team has worked tirelessly to trea...Pete Alonso’s 40th and 41st home runs power Mets to series win over surging Mariners

Pete Alonso mashed his way to major milestones Sunday afternoon, slugging his 40th and 41st home runs and recording his 100th RBI of the season to power the Mets to a series win over the surging Seattle Mariners.The first baseman’s two-run shot in the third inning of the 6-3 victory at Citi Field clinched the third 40-homer season of his career. No other Met has ever posted more than one season with 40 home runs.Alonso is the fifth player in MLB history with three 40-homer campaigns through five career seasons, joining Ralph Kiner, Eddie Mathews, Albert Pujols and Ryan Howard.That first homer Sunday came off a hanging curveball from Mariners starter George Kirby, a native of Rye, N.Y., who made the All-Star team this season.Alonso added a seventh-inning solo home run off a Trent Thornton fastball to account for his 100th RBI, marking the third time he’s reached that total. He joined David Wright, Carlos Beltran and Darryl Strawberry as the only Mets with three 100-RBI se...Chris Sale throws five shutout innings as Red Sox top Royals 7-3

Chris Sale was disgusted with himself the last time he took the mound. Unable to complete the fifth inning last Monday against Houston, he put the Red Sox bullpen in a bind and ultimately got reliever Kyle Barraclough thrown to the wolves.This time Sale still struggled to keep his pitch count in check, but when the chips were down he was able to finish his outing strong.Sale pitched five shutout innings to help the Red Sox beat the Kansas City Royals 7-3 in Sunday’s series finale. His command was spotty, throwing only 64 of 100 pitches for strikes while walking two, but he also only allowed two hits and struck out five in an otherwise strong performance.Kansas City rarely threatened while Sale was on the mound, spreading its four baserunners off the lefty over four separate innings. As his pitch count ticked upwards Sale did walk Dairon Blanco after getting two quick strikeouts, but after a brief pep talk by Cora he came back, hit 97 mph on the radar gun and then got Maikel Ga...Man injured in Mission Beach motorcycle crash
