Reporter for the New York Times since 2004. I write about a wide range of topics, but my specialty is telling stories about America through the lens of sports.
Of the 2,000+ stories I've written in my career, this one meant the most. Please read this column about my father: nyti.ms/1S0j36J
In the 9/11 log of the dead kept by the New York Chief Medical Examiner's office, the very first entry is the Rev. Mychal Judge, case number DM-01-00001. The "DM" stands for Disaster Manhattan.
Remembering @StBonaventure's Mychal Judge, who died #Sept11 His last Homily: "Good days. Bad days. Up days. Down days. Sad days. Happy days. But never a boring day. You do what God has called you to do. You show up. You put one foot in front of another. You go out and do the job"
Former Boston College lacrosse player Welles Crowther sacrificed himself to save as many as 18 people on 9/11. His story needs to be told every single year. He was a real-life superhero.
These are text messages, exactly as they were written and sent, between a mother and her two daughters during yesterday’s shooting at Apalachee High School. The family shared the texts with The Washington Post. Both daughters were unharmed and now safe.
After a long career of boosting women’s soccer and all of women’s sports, Alex Morgan is retiring. Her last game is Sunday. She also announced other big news: she is pregnant with her second child.
Thank you🫶
Huge news at The New York Times: After 63 years as the go-to rewrite man, lede-all maestro, and poetic obituary writer, the peerless Robert McFadden is retiring. Many times I have witnessed his artistry; the man is a legend. Great honor is due.
Banned from sports in Afghanistan by the Taliban, para-taekwondo athlete Zakia Khodadadi fled her homeland, joined the refugee team at the Paris Paralympics, and won a bronze medal. The women of Afghanistan are resilient.
Over three days during the Olympics, we shadowed the Olympic Museum’s so called heritage acquisitions staff as they got donations from athletes that told the stories of the Paris Games. From Carlos Alcaraz’s note on his jersey to Rebeca Andrade’s leotard. nytimes.com/2024/08/11/wor…
Thank you — merci bien — to the French security services, and all who supported, for a safe and secure @Paris2024. Amid a world torn by violence, these Games suffered no major incident. Praise where it’s due
Best Olympics since Sydney in 2000
The Paris Olympics ended much as they began, with a raucous spectacle before a joyous crowd, a generous supply of strobe lights, smoke and fireworks. The Games brought cheer to Parisians as they handed off the Summer Olympics to Los Angeles. nyti.ms/3X0lW1S
USA Gymnastics now says it has video evidence that Jordan Chiles's score inquiry was filed within the one-minute limit. It asks CAS to revise its ruling that said Chiles should lose the bronze medal and be dropped to fifth place in the floor exercise.
USA Gymnastics has submitted additional evidence to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee is not going to let the IOC take Jordan Chiles’s bronze medal without a fight. It’s appealing the decision — but any court decision may take weeks, if not months, to resolve.
Shame on the IOC, the International Gymnastics Federation, the Court of Arbitration for Sport and every entity involved in this very poor decision that defies the meaning of Olympic spirit. The athletes should both get bronze.
Jordan Chiles must return the bronze medal she won on floor after gymnastics’ global governing body modified the results of the event final, moving the American out of medal position and Romanian Ana Barbosu into third. washingtonpost.com/sports/olympic…
The importance of this photo. This makes every little girl who looks like them get to say, ‘I can be her because I am her.’ 🖤
Her giggle is the best
Elmo thinks Rocco blinked. #ParisOlympics

Queens supporting queens. 🥹❤️#ParisOlympics
Long before Simone Biles became the GOAT of gymnastics, she was a turtle. My story from the Paris Olympics explains why. nytimes.com/2024/08/05/wor…
