Wrestler Jordan Burrougs doesn’t buy into the concept of karma. “Bad stuff happens to all people,” he says. Beach volleyball star April Ross thinks the opposite. “Putting positive energy into the world and helping each other out goes full circle,” she says.

We asked athletes if they believe in love. Some of them answered with an emphatic “yes” and the name of the person who makes them believe in it, while one athlete questioned if love was even real.

Morgan Hurd may not be competing in the Tokyo Olympics this year, but she’s no less committed to using her voice to speak out against the rising number of violent attacks in the AAPI community.

U.S. gymnast Morgan Hurd has won the all-around title in the American Cup in Milwaukee as she tries to jump-start her rebound following a frustrating 2019 season

Everyone counts Simone Biles’ medals except Simone Biles. Winning her 24th and 25th world championship medals in beam and floor Sunday put the United States gymnast top of the all-time medal charts for the championships.

Simone Biles won her fifth all-around title at the gymnastics world championships Thursday, underlining her status as the clear favorite for next year’s Olympic gold medal.

Simone Biles won her sixth all-around title at the U.S. gymnastics championships Sunday in historic fashion, becoming the first woman to nail “the triple-double” move in competition.

Simone Biles had a lot to feel good about, even with some rare missteps that were quickly forgotten in her latest climb atop another podium. What mattered most to the world’s top gymnast was keeping things moving forward, which Biles did. Biles won the U.S. Classic on Saturday night to maintain her six-year winning streak. The four-time Olympic gold medalist...

Simone Biles attempted to smile but her eyes betrayed her. She was angry, paying little attention to the gold medal around her neck, the one that made history. Yes, winning never gets old. It’s just not why she does this. The challenge whenever the greatest gymnast of her and any other generation steps onto the floor isn’t to impress the...

The color choice wasn’t a coincidence. It was a statement. One Simone Biles felt compelled to make even as the organization she competes for struggles to find a compassionate and compelling message to sexual abuse survivors.

The pep talk was short and to the point, a reminder to reigning world gymnastics champion Morgan Hurd that all was not lost. The 17-year-old had just fallen off the beam at the U.S. Classic last month, ending any serious chance she had at making a run at Simone Biles in the Olympic champion’s return to competition after a two-year...
