When #breaking makes its Olympics debut in Paris, many sports fans will get their first look at the athleticism put in by the bboys and bgirls that make up the sport.

The name is an icon around the world. Between its various locations, there could be a creditable claim that every country in the world has had at least one person visit one of its parks. It is Disney, and one of its flagships is Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Within Walt Disney World, big enough to feel as if you’re in an independent country that is made up of separate little states given its enormous reach and scale, is the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex with 230 acres of facilities hosting thousands of events for athletes. The complex, which opened in 1997, says it has hosted athletes from 70 countries and has welcomed 70 different types of sports since its opening more than a quarter-century ago, half-jokingly asking visitors if they can name that many types of sports. During a recent hosted visit on a rainy Presidents Day Weekend, some of those sports were watched, some were experienced first-hand and many other experiences were had.

Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is home to all sorts of sports. Taking place inside LSU’s storied baseball diamond, the Marucci World Series is one of the many baseball and softball events that call Louisiana’s Capital City home every year. In 2023, the US Youth Soccer Southern Regional Championships made their way to Baton Rouge because of incredible soccer facilities like the Burbank Soccer Complex. And for more than 82 years, wheelchair tennis players have made their way to Baton Rouge to compete in the Cajun Classic Wheelchair Tennis Tournament. Go to VisitBatonRouge.com/sports for more information.

SportsTravel was on location for two golf events over the weekend with competing tours both on the West Coast. The PGA Tour’s traditional Super Bowl weekend stop in Scottsdale, Arizona, is the Waste Management Open, an event that is always the rowdiest of the year with nearly 200,000 fans descending upon TPC Scottsdale on Friday and Saturday for golf and more than little bit of celebrations. Also being held over the weekend right in the heart of the Super Bowl location this year was the LIV Tour event at Las Vegas Country Club, the first time the tour has visited the destination. It was the first of five U.S. stops on the LIV Tour this season, all of which will be competing for attention against PGA Tour stops in different areas of the U.S.

SportsTravel was in the Olympic capital of Lausanne, Switzerland, this week to discuss our editorial efforts as well as the @teamsconference and TEAMS Europe. And we were thrilled to get an inside look at the headquarters of the International Olympic Committee, whose ring-themed design and sustainability efforts were impressive. Least surprising was the quality of the gym for employees in the building. Most surprising? That across the street from one of the power centers of international sport is … an RV park.

The Houston Sports Awards was created in 2018 by the @hc_hsa to celebrate the local sports community and this year’s event, held for the first time at 713 Music Hall in POST Houston, did not disappoint with a star-studded event honoring this year’s inductees: Lance Berkman of the Astros, Cynthia Cooper of the Comets and Warren Moon of the Oilers.

US Speedskating hosted a second consecutive intern

US Speedskating hosted a second consecutive international event in as many weekends as the ISU World Cup was at the Olympic Oval in Kearns with two world records set in three days with just under 5,000 attending. Jordan Stoltz of Wisconsin, all of 19, set a world record in the 1,000 meters on Friday and finished the weekend with four gold medals. A team of Casey Dawson, Emery Lehman and Ethan Cepuran set a world record of 3:33.66 in the men’s team pursuit, besting the world record Norway had recently set. Erin Jackson reigned in the women’s 500 meters and Kimi Goetz finished the weekend with one gold and two silver medals as well. Read more on our home page about the event.
