Johannes Høsflot Klæbo får legendepris – Messi og Ronaldo tidligere vinnere

Johannes Høsflot Klæbo tildeles den spanske storavisen Marcas prestisjefylte legendepris. Han anerkjennes for en karriere uten sidestykke.
Prisen har etter at den ble opprettet i 1997 gått til blant andre Michael Jordan, Nadia Comaneci, Simone Biles, Pelé, Muhammad Ali, Rafael Nadal, Lionel Messi og Cristiano Ronaldo.
Klæbo får hedersbevisningen i etterkant av at han tok samtlige gullmedaljer under vinterens OL i Cortina og Milano. Trønderen gjorde også rent bord under VM på hjemmebane i Trondheim for et drøyt år siden.
Marca skriver at Klæbos OL-bragd «gjør enhver fan målløs» og er noe «som gjør denne unge mannen fra Trondheim til den mest dominerende utøveren de olympiske vinterleker noensinne har sett, med totalt elleve gullmedaljer».
Videre henvises det til at Klæbos måte å forsere motbakker på har gått verden rundt.
Bare én annen vintersportsutøver har fått legendeprisen, den italienske alpinkongen Alberto Tomba.

Tony Pollard: I'm still progressing after four straight 1,000-yard seasons

There's not much physical resemblance between running backs Derrick Henry and Tony Pollard, but Pollard has proven to be a capable replacement for Henry in the Titans' backfield.

Pollard has crossed the 1,000-yard mark in each of his two seasons with the Titans and he did the same in his final two seasons with the Cowboys, which means that he and Henry are the only two backs with four straight 1,000-yard campaigns under their belts as they head into the 2026 season.

Pollard said last week that he takes "a lot of pride in my consistency" and feels he's still growing as a player in his eighth season.

“The work ethic, everything that I’m doing behind the scenes, it’s paying off,” Pollard said, via Teresa Walker of the Associated Press. “I slowly feel like throughout my career I’ve just slowly progressed more and more, and I feel like I’m still trending in that direction.”

Pollard's steadiness has not led to a lot of winning for the Titans and that would be the best kind of progress for Tennessee to make over the rest of the year.
