At their halfway point, the Tokyo Olympics are still grappling with the fact that there are no crowds. But looking at the Games without fans is an opportunity to examine what spectators add to a public entertainment event, and what their absence takes away. Olympic organizers say the essence of the Games will remain the same. But without any crowds, even the television audience, which represents so much of the money made by the Olympics, is affected. In the words of one media scholar, we like to watch things with crowds because they make it easier to pretend we're there ourselves.  Read more

New York selected Rocker with the 10th overall pick and will receive an extra selection in next year’s amateur draft, the pick after the 10th choice, because of their failure to sign the 21-year-old right-hander.

Colorado officials say mudslides caused “extreme damage” to a major interstate, leaving it clogged with boulders and rocks and no word on when it might reopen. Forecasters Sunday warned of the potential for more flash floods across the Rocky Mountain and Great Basin regions. Wildfires across the West have left many hillsides more susceptible to erosion. Interstate 70 in Glenwood Canyon, Colorado, was hit by flash flooding that left lanes in both directions snarled by logs, boulders and other debris from a burn scar left by a 2020 wildfire. Flood watches were in effect for portions of Colorado, Utah Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon and Washington state.  Read more

Jeff McNeil homered for the NL East leaders. Read more

Italian beach-goers near Pescara were evacuated Sunday after being threatened by a wildfire. Read more

Jacobs topped America’s Fred Kerley and Canada’s Andre DeGrasse to take the spot held for the past 13 years by the now-retired Usain Bolt.

Yulimar Rojas of Venezuela broke a 26-year-old world record in the triple jump with a leap of 51 feet, 5 inches (15.67 meters). Read more

Frenchman Esteban Ocon has won a chaotic Hungarian Grand Prix while an exhausted Lewis Hamilton moved up from third to second in the race after Sebastian Vettel’s disqualification. The surprise DQ extended Hamilton's Formula One championship lead over Max Verstappen to eight points heading into the midseason break. Verstappen placed ninth. He was taken out early on by Hamilton’s Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas in a first-lap crash that caused Bottas and four others to retire. Ocon finished ahead of Aston Martin’s Vettel. But stewards then disqualified Vettel over a fuel sample issue. After the Lap-1 crash the race restarted in absurd fashion as only Hamilton was on the grid while others were changing their tires because the track had dried. Read more

The Disney film starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt exceeded expectations by pulling in more than $34.1 million over the weekend.

Thousands have turned out in Berlin to protest the German government’s anti-coronavirus measures despite a ban on the gatherings, leading to clashes with police and the detention of some 600 protesters. Local authorities banned several different protests including one from the Stuttgart-based Querdenker movement but protesters defied the ban. Berlin police said as the crowds grew, officers who sought to redirect protesters or disband larger groups were “harassed and attacked." Wolfgang Schäuble, president of Germany’s parliament, sharply criticized the Querdenker movement on Sunday, encouraging people not to be fooled by “cheap slogans.” Read more

Black people whose right to live in the U.K. was illegally challenged by the government marked the anniversary Sunday of the act that freed slaves throughout the British Empire, drawing a direct link between slavery and the discrimination they suffered.

They also demanded legislation to compensate legal residents who were threatened with deportation in what is known as the Windrush Scandal. Thousands lost their jobs, homes and the right to free medical care in Britain, many because they arrived as children and couldn’t produce paperwork proving their right to live in the U.K. Read more

And there is no doubt he’s the main attraction. There is a sign front-and-center atop the main stadium that shows a yelling Nadal above the words, “This is tennis.” And there have been crowds attending his open practice sessions this weekend.

The rapper's representatives did not comment.   Read more
