At halfpipe, neither US-born Olympic medal favorite competes for U.S. Eileen Gu takes the heat

AP News LIVIGNO, Italy (AP) — The two best bets to win the gold medal in women's halfpipe skiing at the Winter Olympics were born in the United States.

Zoe Atkin competes for Britain and hardly anyone raises a fuss about it.

Eileen Gu competes for China and never hears the end of it.

Stories of athletes who lived in one country then decided to compete for another are nothing new to international sports. Throw some Olympic rings on it, then add a high-profile athlete enjoying tremendous success the way Gu has, and it turns into someting messy, even political. Read More

AP News LIVIGNO, Italy (AP) — U.S. freeskier Nick Goepper checked out of the hospital with only a knee sprain and a bad shin bruise after a scary fall in the halfpipe finals at the Winter Olympics, team officials said Saturday.

The 31-year-old Goepper, who learned to ski on baby hills near his hometown in Indiana, went flying above the halfpipe and came down on his back in Friday night's final before bouncing to the bottom. He stood up and was walked gingerly to the bottom, holding his back.

In the order signed by Chief Justice Matthew B. Durrant, the court explained that they do not have “jurisdiction over Legislative Defendants’ appeal.”

The lawmakers had appealed a decision in November in which a Utah judge adopted a congressional map creating a Democratic-leaning district over one poised to...

Murky outlook for businesses after tariff ruling prompts countermoves by Trump

AP News NEW YORK (AP) — Businesses face a new wave of uncertainty after the Supreme Court struck down tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump under an emergency powers law and Trump vowed to work around the ruling to keep his tariffs in place.

The Trump administration says its tariffs help boost American manufacturers and reduce the trade gap. But many U.S. businesses have had to raise prices and adjust in other ways to offset higher costs spurred by the tariffs.

It remains to be seen how much relief businesses and consumers will actually get from Friday's ruling. Within...
