Pro-Palestinian protester takes issue with Israeli team at Tour de France
TOULOUSE, France (AP) — A man protesting the participation of an Israel-based team in the Tour de France ran onto the course as the leaders raced for the finish line on Wednesday. Norwegian rider Jonas Abrahamsen won the 11th stage in a photo finish just ahead of Swiss rider Mauro Schmid, but their final sprint was accompanied by a man running alongside who wore a T-shirt saying, 'Israel out of the Tour,' and who waved a keffiyeh, the black-and-white checkered headscarf that has become a potent symbol of the Palestinian cause. A security guard ran out to apprehend the man. The Israel-Premier Tech team is racing at this year's Tour with eight team members from other countries. The team acquired the right to enter the Tour de France in 2020 when Israel Start-Up National took over Katusha's WorldTour license and has since claimed three stage victories, though none yet in this year's race. Team members previously faced protests because of the team's association with Israel, which has killed more than 58,000 Palestinians in 21 months of war, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. The war was sparked by the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel that killed some 1,200 people on Oct. 7, 2023. Israel and Hamas are considering a U.S.-backed ceasefire proposal that could pause the war. ___ AP sports:

Olympic medalist dies in tragic lightning strike during trip
An Olympic medalist has died after being struck by lightning. Alpine skier and ski cross athlete Audun Groenvold was struck by lightning during a "cabin trip," the Norwegian Ski Federation announced on Wednesday. He was 49. "It is with great sadness that we have received the news of Audun Groenvold's untimely passing," the federation said. "The former national Alpine skier and ski cross athlete was recently struck by lightning during a cabin trip." The federation said Groenvold was "quickly taken to hospital and received treatment for the injuries he sustained in the lightning strike" and then died Tuesday night. Groenvold was struck by the bolt on Saturday. Groenvold was a member of Norway's Alpine skiing team before he moved into freestyle and ski cross in 2004. He earned a bronze medal at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. He had one podium finish as a World Cup Alpine skier, finishing third in a downhill in Sierra Nevada, Spain, in 1999. He also won a bronze medal in ski cross at the 2005 world championships, and the overall ski cross cup in 2007. After his career ended, he became a national team coach and a TV commentator. "Norwegian skiing has lost a prominent figure, who has meant so much to both the Alpine and freestyle communities," federation president Tove Moe Dyrhaug said, adding that his passing creates "a huge void." Groenvold finished behind Switzerland's Michael Schmid and Andreas Matt of Austria at the Vancouver games. He competed in his first race at the age of 3 and earned Alpine Ski World Cup points for the first time two months before his 21st birthday in 1996. Groenvold competed in the Freestyle Skiing World Cup throughout Europe, where he earned three victories. Two of them came within a one-month span in 2007, and the other came in 2010. He also finished second three other times. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
