When the IOC meets next week, one of the items on the agenda will be which sport to cut from the Summer Olympic program after the Rio Games. They want to add a new sport for 2020, but there’s a max of 28, so the only way to do that without going over the maximum is to get rid of another one. This is, of course, assuming golf and rugby are in the Olympics to stay (which they should be).

It seems like the London Olympics just ended, yet today marks the One-Year-To-Go mark in the countdown to the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. They’ll be a Winter Olympics unlike any other. Not only will they be the first Winter Games held in Russia, one of the traditional powers of the Winter Olympics, there’s going to be a slew of new events, 12 in all, ranging from team figure skating to the long-overdue addition of women’s ski jumping to new disciplines in snowboarding and freestyle skiing. We still don’t know about the hockey tournament, but the KHL has already committed and I think the NHL knows it would be a huge mistake NOT to go. (And sorry to burst everyone’s bubble, but NBC’s going to have to tape-delay prime time again. Sochi is eight hours ahead of New York.)

VATICAN CITY—Pope Benedict XVI will become the first pontiff in six centuries to resign, marking the end of a transitional papacy that focused more on theological and internal renewal and less on the broader challenges that face the Roman Catholic church at the start of its 21st century of existence.
