For our Seoul 1988 history moment, our intern Annalee Deabel tells of yet another controversy in the boxing ring, this time about South Korean boxer Byeon Jeong-il, whose headbutts rankled the referee, leading to pure chaos--and then sadness--in the ring.

In news from TKFLASTAN, we have updates from:

Montreal 1976
Author Andrew Maraniss - check out his new book series here.

In Paris 2024 news, we have updates on ticket sales, a follow-up on the cardboard beds, some angry booksellers who work along the Seine, and medal predictions from Gracenote. Also, if you need a new watch, Omega's Paris 2024 limited edition looks pretty snazzy.

We have news from LA 2028 that couldn't wait a day.

Milan-Cortina 2026 landed a sponsor that has Alison bubbling with excitement. Also, the Paralympics will feature a new medal event, and we're inching a tiny bit closer to gender parity.

And the World Games has announced the official sports program for Chengdu 2025. We've got the new and returning sports.
