TYR Sport signed 5-time Olympic Gold Medalist and 14-time World Champion Katie Ledecky, one of the sport’s most marketable and accomplished athletes, to its roster of sponsored swimmers. One of the most iconic names in swimming, Ledecky, 21, has been named “World Swimmer of the Year” four times and has broken 14 world records. She has earned a total of six Olympic medals, including five golds for her swims in the 200m, 400m, 800m, and 4x200m freestyle. And currently holds 26 medals in major international competitions, including 24 first-place finishes.

UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey will be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame’s Modern Wing as a member of the class of 2018 on Thursday, July 5, at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. Rousey will be the first woman inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame. “There would be no women in UFC without Ronda Rousey,” UFC President Dana White said. “Ronda is an absolute pioneer who helped me personally, and a lot of other people, look at women in combat sports differently. She accomplished everything she set out to do with UFC and became a global icon and role model in the process.” Rousey will join Forrest Griffin (2013), BJ Penn (2015) and Urijah Faber (2017) as the only members of the Hall of Fame’s Modern Wing and joins Faber as only the second athlete to be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame from the bantamweight division. “This is an immense honor, to not only take part in bringing women to the forefront of this sport, but now the UFC Hall of Fame,” Rousey said. “May I be the first of many.” The Harlem Globetrotters and the Beijing Aspiring Integrated Marketing Company announced a five-year partnership that will bring the Globetrotters back to China.
