Madigan Munro and Riley Amos light up Pan-Am Champs!

The two young Americans lit up Soldier Hollow, winning all five of their combined starts

Riley Amos and Madigan Munro went to Pan-American Championships in Soldier Hollow, Utah, and didn’t lose a single start.

Both Trek Factory Racing-Pirelli XC riders won Under-23 XCO titles, and Amos tacked on an elite short track win. Together, Amos and Munro also helped lead the USA squad to a team relay win. That the two young Americans were able to win on home soil added a cherry on top of the weekend. 

“I haven’t been back to race in Soldier Hollow in four or five years, and the first time I raced there was my first ever cross country mountain bike win at 16 years old,” Amos said. “So it was really special to go back for a big race. It’s so gorgeous, and the early-in-the-week weather dropped some fresh snow on the mountains all around the valley.”

Madigan Munro on her way to a dominant U23 women's XCO victory.

The team relay win on Thursday served as an appetizer for the big individual performances to come. Munro said she had a blast “sliding around in the mud as the weather was all over the place: Raining, sunny, windy.” 

The next day, Amos raced as an elite in the men’s short track event, giving him a chance to square off against XC World Cup Mairiporã winner Christopher Blevins. Amos nipped Blevins in a sprint.

“It was a crazy aggressive and fast race,” Amos said. “I think that was one of the most special wins I’ve ever had. Being able to get the win against the king in his court was such a thrill.”

Amos completed his weekend with a hard-earned XCO win, in which he went clear early with two other riders, ultimately battling with fellow American Brayden Johnson over the final two laps to notch a 16-second win.

Munro, meanwhile, put on one of the most impressive displays of the weekend, winning the women’s U23 XCO event by nearly two-and-a-half minutes over second-place Ella MacPhee. Munro is off to a strong start in 2024, taking the short track podium in Mairiporã, and placing no lower than sixth in four World Cup starts. She also has a gravel win at Old Man Winter for good measure . 

“It was a super fun day of bike racing,” Munro said. “I went into the race with a plan to ride patiently and smart, and had practiced the course and dialed in lines with our Team USA skills coach, Anneke Beerten, so I felt confident and excited to race.

Riley is looking to extend his World Cup winning streak in Nové Město.

Madigan is off to one of the best starts of her career.

“The race went smooth and to plan for me, which is not always the case in a bike race, so that in itself was a huge success. I was able to get a small gap on the first lap and continue to build on that gap each lap.”

The two Colorado natives were able to bask in their success with friends and family. With their wins, they’ll have the opportunity to wear the continental championship kit when World Cup racing resumes in Nové Město on May 24. (Though in Amos’ case, that assumes he ever takes off the U23 Men’s World Cup leader’s jersey — he’s won a perfect four races in four World Cup starts this season.)

“It was really awesome to have such a big race so close to home and with many hometown fans and supporters,” Munro said. “A huge thanks to USA Cycling and the Trek staff, Tom and Wendy, for setting us up for success this weekend. I am looking forward to keeping this momentum rolling into the next few World Cups of the season, and in a fancy new jersey!”

The Naseby Cup: A Numismatic and Historical Treasure at Yale

May 14, 2024 | Silverman, Owen | Art & Architecture

Benjamin D. R. Hellings —

As custodian and curator of the Yale University Art Gallery’s numismatic collection, I have the responsibility to oversee approximately 200,000 objects: coins, medals, tokens, bank notes, and other related works. The Gallery’s is the largest numismatic collection at any university in the country, and it includes countless rarities and masterpieces. Yet one particular work stands out. Produced in 1839, the Naseby Cup is one of the most exceptional numismatic objects in the world. Its unique blend of numismatic and decorative arts, together with its compelling history, is the subject of The Naseby Cup: Coins and Medals of the English Civil War .

I have long been interested—perhaps obsessively so—in the Naseby Cup not only because it has no parallel in any other collection but also because of its fascinating history. Standing over two feet tall and featuring 72 coins, medals, badges, and counters from the English Civil War period (1642–51)—some of which are themselves extremely rare—the cup is an extraordinary example of craftsmanship and provides a unique opportunity to study the historical events of that time through its numismatic pieces. How did coins from the mid-seventeenth century end up on a Victorian-era ornamental silverwork some 200 years after they were struck and used?

Charles Reily and George Storer, two of the best silversmiths of the first half of the nineteenth century, were commissioned to produce the cup by John and Mary Frances Fitzgerald. It commemorates the Battle of Naseby on June 14, 1645, during which the forces of the English Parliament, led by Oliver Cromwell and Sir Thomas Fairfax, defeated the Royalist army of King Charles I. Although silver trophy works were in vogue at the time, none showcase as many numismatic objects as the Naseby Cup, and Reily and Storer took a unique and innovative approach to integrating them. They made a hole in the cup for every numismatic object. Each object was heated and shaped to fit the contour of the cup before being inserted into a bezel-like frame that gave the silversmiths a good grip for soldering. The object, placed in its frame, was then inserted into its hole. This painstaking process resulted in a spectacular work that allows one to see both sides of every numismatic object—one on the cup’s interior and one on its exterior—while also ensuring that the coins did not protrude from the cup’s contour.

John and Mary Frances Fitzgerald owned a manor located on the Naseby battlefield, and their son, Edward Fitzgerald, was a highly significant investigator of the field. He spent well over a decade researching the battle and conducted amateur excavations. While his findings were largely ignored early on, they offer critical insight today. Some of the coins on the cup were purportedly dug up from the battlefield, adding historical interest to the work. Others, however, may have been added in a display of the Fitzgeralds’ wealth or their knowledge of the events. The book offers numismatic, historical, and artistic details about each of the 72 objects in an in-depth catalogue. One entry explains, for example, how and why a New England shilling from Boston was included and the connection between the Massachusetts Bay Colony and England during this period. Another chapter is dedicated to an overview of the English Civil War, to familiarize readers with the key figures of the time, such as Charles I and Cromwell, who appear on many of the cup’s coins and medals.

In addition to being the inaugural release in the Gallery’s new series, Yale Collections , which shares new research on objects from the museum, The Naseby Cup is the first book on a numismatic subject published by the Gallery. My intention in researching and writing the book was to offer insight into the wonderfully minutiae-rich world of numismatics in a way that reflects the interconnectedness of the field with art and history—all through the lens of a single object. The Naseby Cup offers readers a technical introduction to coins and medals and a thorough account of the historical events, facilitating their full appreciation of this magnificent work of art. Visitors to the Gallery can now see the cup in the newly redesigned space for numismatics, where it will remain on view as a treasured highlight of the museum’s collection.

Benjamin D. R. Hellings is the Jackson-Tomasko Associate Curator of Numismatics at the Yale University Art Gallery.

Join the Yale University Art Gallery on May 16 from 5:30-6:30pm to celebrate the release of the book The Naseby Cup: Coins and Medals of the English Civil War.

When we first started looking into all four of the USGP race weekends after the USGP disbanded , it initially seemed like the race in Sun Prairie was in the most trouble. However, it was the Fort Collins race that was unable to secure the funding needed to keep the race for 2013. In the meantime, the folks of Madison were slowly working to secure Trek once again as a title sponsor, and despite downgrading to a C2 race, the organizers are still offering C1 payouts. Not only that, the payouts will be equal for men and women. And so, on September 21 and 22, Waterloo, Wisconsin, will host the first edition of the Trek CXC Cup, an UCI C2 event. After four years as a key stop in the USGP CX series Madcross Promotions LLC, led by the founding promotional team of Renee Callaway and JP Ericsson, has taken back the reigns of the Midwest’s top cyclocross event, and are planning one of the largest US races of 2013.

The Trek CXC Cup will be held on the grounds of Trek Bicycles Global headquarters in Waterloo, Wisconsin, which is located a short distance between Madison and Milwaukee. The race will feature equal pay for elite men and women, a Fun Zone for families and fans, and the great food and beverages racers have come to expect at Wisconsin events.

“Our Saturday event will feature a C1-sized prize list for men and women, so our turn out should be great,” said Co-Director JP Ericsson. “And when we say equal pay out we mean it. The weekend’s purse for men and women, all $21,000 of it, is the exact same size, and goes the exact same depth for both fields.”

In addition to the professional events, amateur races for USAC-licensed riders will be held on both days. With 600 participants riding on Saturday and Sunday in previous years, the Trek CXC Cup will be one of the largest cyclocross events in the Midwest.

“The folks at Trek love cyclocross and they really know how to have a good time and put on a great event,” said Trek-sponsored racer, and national champion, Katie Compton. “I have heard a little bit about the course, and have a feeling it will be hard, but super fun to ride.”

NASCAR photo finishes: An updated look at the top 10 closest finishes in NASCAR Cup Series history

Kyle larson's 0.001 win over chris buescher at kansas has set a new high mark for closest finishes ever.

There are few moments more exhilarating in racing than when the leaders come off the final corner side-by-side and nose-to-nose as they head towards the finish line. Especially when the end result at the checkered flag is too close to call with the naked eye.

For much of the first half century of NASCAR racing, photo finishes were exactly as their name suggested: Judgment calls at the line that would have to go to photo review in order to determine a winner. The inaugural Daytona 500 in 1959 famously ended in a photo finish that saw Johnny Beauchamp initially be named the winner, only for a photo review three days later to show that Lee Petty had narrowly been ahead of Beauchamp at the start/finish line. The Petty/Beauchamp finish became the most famous example of a photo finish, with others ranging from easy calls to extremely difficult -- On one occasion, Buddy Baker and Cale Yarborough were both credited with third-place finish in the 1974 Firecracker 400 at Daytona after photos proved so inconclusive that NASCAR officials called a dead heat.

But in 1993, things changed when NASCAR implemented an electronic timing and scoring system, giving instantaneous interval numbers down to the thousandth of a second and beyond. Since that point, there has been a tangible means of measuring the sport's closest finishes ever -- And occasionally, things get so close that the old-fashioned method of photo review must be utilized, albeit with the technology of today.

With a new high mark -- or low mark, depending on your preferred measurement -- being set this past weekend at Kansas Speedway , here is an overview of the 10 closest finishes in NASCAR Cup Series history as of May 2024.

10 -- 1994 Pepsi 400 -- Jimmy Spencer beats Ernie Irvan by 0.008

True to his "Mr. Excitement" nickname, Jimmy Spencer earned his very first Winston Cup win in dramatic fashion in the 1994 Pepsi 400 at Daytona. After pursuing Ernie Irvan for the race lead over the final laps, Spencer made his move coming off turn 2 down the backstretch on the final lap, racing side-by-side with Irvan from there before beating him by a scant 0.008 at the finish line. Both of Spencer's two career wins would come on superspeedways in the summer of '94, as he would also win at Talladega just three weeks later.

T-9 -- 2019 1000Bulbs.com 500 -- Ryan Blaney beats Ryan Newman by 0.007

It was the Ryan & Ryan Show at Talladega in the fall of 2019, with both drivers looking to advance through to the Round of 8 of the NASCAR playoffs with a win. Newman was pushed clear to the lead by Denny Hamlin on the final lap, but the gap between Newman and the lead pack would allow Blaney to get a run on him going through the trioval and to the finish line. Blaney would beat Newman to the finish line by 0.007, giving him his third career win and securing his place in the next round.

T-9 -- 2020 GEICO 500 -- Ryan Blaney beats Ricky Stenhouse Jr. by 0.007

Not to be outdone by his heroics from the fall, Blaney would match his margin of victory in the next Talladega race in June of 2020. Blaney would surge past Kevin Harvick on the final lap, then had to fend off Erik Jones, John Hunter Nemechek, Aric Almirola and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. through the trioval before barely hanging on as Stenhouse attempted the winning pass, scoring the victory by 0.007

7 -- 2001 Cracker Barrel 500 -- Kevin Harvick beats Jeff Gordon by 0.006

The legend of Kevin Harvick and his future NASCAR Hall of Fame career was launched by the epic, incomparably emotional way in which he earned his first career win. Making just his third career start after taking over Dale Earnhardt's car following his death at the end of that year's Daytona 500, Harvick took the lead with six laps to go in a five-car battle for the top spot, then withstood a charge by Jeff Gordon off the final corner to take the win. 

Adding to the extreme catharsis for Richard Childress Racing and all of NASCAR was that the photo finish resembled the one from the previous year's Atlanta race, in which Earnhardt edged out Bobby Labonte by 0.010

T-5 -- 2007 Pepsi 400 -- Jamie McMurray beats Kyle Busch by 0.005

Months after a photo finish decided the Daytona 500 for the first time since 1959, the Pepsi 400 in July actually ended up being far closer than the finish between Kevin Harvick and Mark Martin in February. After Jamie McMurray took the lead from Jeff Gordon with six laps to go, he and Kyle Busch would wind up deadlocked for the lead over the final five laps all the way until McMurray beat Busch to the finish line by 0.005. It was McMurray's second career Cup win, and ended a 166-race winless streak of nearly five years after he had scored a shocking upset in just his second career start as a substitute driver in 2002.

T-5 -- 1993 DieHard 500 -- Dale Earnhardt beats Ernie Irvan by 0.005

On an emotional day at Talladega a mere two weeks after local hero Davey Allison had died following a helicopter crash in the track's infield, still-grieving race fans were treated to a spectacular finish between Dale Earnhardt and Ernie Irvan. On the final lap, Irvan capitalized on Kyle Petty's attempt at the winning move on Earnhardt, cutting three-wide to the bottom coming off turn 2, then spent the rest of the way running side-by-side with Earnhardt before The Intimidator prevailed by a scant 0.005.

Coming shortly after the implementation of electronic timing and scoring, this would stand as the closest finish in Cup Series history for nearly a full 10 years.

4 -- 2024 Ambetter Health 400 -- Daniel Suarez beats Ryan Blaney by 0.003

A barnburner of a race in Atlanta ended in the closest three-wide photo finish in NASCAR history, with Kyle Busch and Daniel Suarez both making their moves to the outside of Ryan Blaney going down the backstretch entering turn 3 on the final lap. The three would remain side-by-side through the final corner and all the way to the finish line, with Suarez getting his second career Cup win by 0.003 over Blaney and 0.007 over Busch.

T-2 -- 2011 Aaron's 499 -- Jimmie Johnson beats Clint Bowyer by 0.002

The tandem drafting era of racing at Daytona and Talladega produced multiple photo finishes, with none closer than the one that took place in the 2011 Aaron's 499. Receiving a push from Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jimmie Johnson cut to the inside of Clint Bowyer, Kevin Harvick, Jeff Gordon and Mark Martin heading into the trioval for the final time, receiving just enough of a push to make it three-wide for the win and beat Bowyer by 0.002.

T-2 -- 2003 Carolina Dodge Dealers 400 -- Ricky Craven beats Kurt Busch by 0.002

In a finish that arguably encapsulates everything that makes NASCAR great, Ricky Craven prevailed over Kurt Busch in an unforgettable race at Darlington in the spring of 2003. Craven began closing in on Busch for the lead as the run to the finish progressed, an advance that was greatly aided when the power steering on Busch's car failed. Craven tried to muscle his way past Busch in turn 1 with two laps to go, but Busch recovered from getting shoved into the wall and took the lead back by laying the bumper to Craven.

Craven would regroup for one final charge, setting Busch up once more before getting a run on the inside through the final corner. The two would collide coming off turn 4, banging doors in a deadlock to the checkered flag before Craven beat Busch by just 0.002 seconds at the finish line. It was the second and final win of Craven's journeyman Cup career, secured his legacy in NASCAR, and set a record for the closest Cup finish ever that stood for more than 21 years.

1 -- 2024 AdventHealth 400 -- Kyle Larson beats Chris Buescher by 0.001

A thrilling race from the drop of the green flag at Kansas ended in an unforgettable moment at the checkered flag, which was set up when a spin by Kyle Busch with seven laps to go set up an overtime restart. Chris Buescher would get the launch he needed to take the lead, but on the final lap he would leave the outside open just enough for Kyle Larson to drive up alongside him in the final corner. The two came off the final corner and banged doors side-by-side to the finish line, and the finish was so close that electronic timing and scoring initially named Buescher the winner.

However, further review showed that Larson -- barely -- was ahead of Buescher at the line, giving Larson his 25th career win by a margin of just 0.001 and setting a new high mark for the NASCAR Cup Series' closest finish ever.

Lionel Messi, Inter Miami win Leagues Cup after 11-round shootout

Inter Miami triumphs

It took 11 rounds of penalty kicks in an epic shootout that ended goalkeeper vs. goalkeeper, but Inter Miami 's Lionel Messi era has its first trophy just weeks after his arrival.

The trophy is Messi's 42nd team honor in his senior career.

Inter Miami struggled to generate clear chances in the game's opening moments, but Messi provided his signature magic. In the 23rd minute, the Argentine opened the scoring with yet another terrific goal, latching on to a blocked effort at the top of the box, danced past two Nashville defenders, then unleashed a curling effort into the top corner.

Nashville equalized in the exact opposite fashion: Off a set piece, off several deflections, but in the net nonetheless to make things 1-1 in the second half.

A tense closing period featured several key saves from Inter Miami goalkeeper Drake Callender , and an absolutely unbelievable miss from Leonardo Campana for Inter Miami with the last kick of the game.

Then came the shootout, where all but two players buried a sequence of very solid penalties, right up until Nashville SC's Elliot Panicco 's effort that was well-saved by Callender to win the game, and the trophy.

Stay tuned to The Athletic for more updates stories and analysis, and read how it all happened moment-by-moment below.

Press conference: over

Inter Miami players got tired of waiting for their manager to join them for post-final festivities, so they brought the party to him (and the journalists in attendance)

Martino on the difficulty of the game

"We suffered more tonight because that's how finals are played: you suffer. We also played against a very good team. But it's true that we played a very even game in the 90 mins and during the shootout as well. I can't mention the team's turnaround without mentioning the new players (Messi, Busquets, Alba) who have arrived. It's a lot easier to build a team around players like them."

Martino praises his goalkeeper

Speaking to reporters after the match, Inter Miami manager Tata Martino heaped praise on his goalkeeper Drake Callender, whose key saves and shootout heroics earned him man of the match honors.

"Drake has been determinant," Martino said. "The entire tournament. He's a goalkeeper who in Argentina we refer to as a goalkeeper who wins games. He did it tonight and he did it in a penalty shootout."

Nashville SC coach Gary Smith on, who else, Messi.

Speaking in the postgame press conference: "This is the first time that I've seen (Messi) play live. And I think what I would take away is that there are moments in the game that he's just unplayable. It's not over a prolonged period. It's not for 90 minutes. There are windows, where he just comes to life and it's almost impossible to deal with what he's wanting to do."

And to Apple TV's Katie Witham: “To be perfectly honest, if it wasn’t for the man of the moment in their group, we would have won tonight. The goal that he scored is just incredible, out of nothing, and with his only other shot on goal he hits the post.”

Nashville's Gary Smith on his team's gameplan

"Miami is enormously difficult to play against, but part of the game plan if you like tonight was to stay emotionally focused on the game, the group in front of us and not just goals going in. I just felt that in the final third tonight, we lacked a little bit of cutting edge.

"As long as we grow from this and we don't feel as though it's a failure, because it isn't. The guys have been absolutely fantastic tonight they played wonderfully in an important occasion with the pressure that they were under."

Watch: The shootout that won it

11 rounds, three misses, and a whole lot of great efforts along the way.

Team player

Very cool moment. Messi gave DeAndre Yedlin the armband for the trophy celebration, then asked the American defender to help him lift the Leagues Cup trophy as the confetti blasted into the air.

Don't drop him

Lots of love for Callender

Jorge Mas gets down on the field and first finds and hugs Callender, then works his way through a group of Inter Miami players before finally finding Lionel Messi and hugging him. The team then starts jumping and celebrating with Jose Mas and David Beckham on the other side of the field, including Ian Fray, who is here on crutches and with a brace on his leg.

And he deserves it.

As the Miami team huddle and celebration breaks up, Messi makes sure to give Callender a big hug.

Callender saves! Inter Miami wins Leagues Cup!

Elliot Panicco's effort is saved by Drake Callender, and Inter Miami has its first trophy as a club. Messi's magical run at his new club continues. What a game.

PKs: Miami and Nashville still even

DeAndre Yedlin scores his first with a nice effort to Panicco's right.

Jacob Shaffelburg scores as well.

We're on to GOALKEEPER PENALTIES.

PKs: Miami scores, and so does Nashville. Again.

David Ruiz scores his down the middle for Miami, and Sean Davis follows up with a nice conversion of his own. On to round 9!!

PKs: Both teams make theirs

Diego Gomez and Lucas McNaughton both score, and we're on to round 8.

PKs: Daniel Lovitz with an excellent take

It's 6-6 after seven rounds.

PKs: Shaq Moore and Jordi Alba both score

This shootout might go on a while, huh?

Miami players looking to the sideline to see who should go next. Two players step forward, including Jordi Alba, before finally Kryvtsov steps up for the sixth penalty. And he buries it into the upper netting. Miami needs a plan, though, it seems.

Slightly different opponents.

Today, Elliot Panicco is in a penalty shootout facing Messi and Busquets. On July 3 — 47 days ago — he lost a shootout in MLS Next Pro against Revs 2.

Kryvstov scores his PK

Well placed under the ball. It's 5-4 Miami.
