WNBA All-Stars make statement with warmup shirts over CBA
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — All of the players on Team Clark and Team Collier warmed up for Saturday night's WNBA All-Star Game in shirts that read 'Pay us what you owe us.' The shirts come after the players and the league failed to reach a new collective bargaining agreement at an in-person meeting Thursday. The league's players opted out of their last CBA in October, and are looking for a better revenue-sharing model, increased salaries, improved benefits and a softer salary cap. 'I'm just so inspired by the amount of players that showed up, the engagement that was there,' WNBPA President Nneka Ogwumike said. 'That's really what it's all about. Because the more that happens, the more that we're going to be able to get things done. I think today we're going to be able to use this conversation to start rolling the ball on things.' After the failed negotiations, many players said there was a large discrepancy between what they wanted and what the league was offering. If a new CBA is not reached by October some players, including All-Stars Napheesa Collier and Angel Reese, have mentioned the potential of a walkout. ___ AP WNBA:

Claire Pease wins Saatva U.S. Classic gymnastics title
Many U.S. gymnasts have gone from junior all-around national champions to stars on the senior level. Claire Pease may have taken an early step to joining that list on Saturday. Pease, a 16-year-old Texan, won the Saatva U.S. Classic, the primary tune-up meet for the U.S. Championships in three weeks. Pease overtook Simone Rose on the last rotation, totaling 54.6 points to prevail by four tenths over Rose in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. Gymnasts use Classic as a building block for nationals (Aug. 7-10 in New Orleans). After nationals, the four-woman team for the World Championships in October in Indonesia will be named after a two-day selection competition in early autumn. This year's worlds include individual events only and no team competition. Pease, the first senior rookie to win Classic since 2017 (Alyona Shchennikova), can join the list of U.S. junior all-around champions to make global championship teams on the senior level. Over the years, that's included Olympic all-around champions Carly Patterson and Nastia Liukin (whose parents coach Pease) and world all-around champions Shawn Johnson and Jordyn Wieber. Plus Hezly Rivera, the 2023 U.S. junior all-around champ who made the 2024 Olympic team as the youngest American competing in Paris in any sport. Rivera, the lone Olympian competing at Classic, tied for 11th on Saturday after falling on her first two routines — bars and beam. She trains at World Olympic Gymnastics Academy outside Dallas, just like Pease. Paris Olympic alternate Leanne Wong competed on two events at Classic, tying for fifth on beam and tying for 11th on bars. One gymnast not at Classic who is expected at nationals is Skye Blakely. She was second to Biles at the 2024 U.S. Championships, then ruptured her right Achilles in practice two days before Olympic Trials began.
