Bolt sprinkles stardust on Tokyo Olympic Stadium opening
TOKYO — Usain Bolt may not be competing at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics but he took a star turn Saturday in the inauguration of the new National Stadium, seven months before the Opening Ceremony.The retired Jamaican sprint superstar jogged 200 meters around the track in an exhibition relay race alongside paralympic athletes, in the first public event at the 60,000-seater stadium.The show opened with a performance of taiko drums that instantly brought to mind the Rugby World Cup, where the players were welcomed into the field to the haunting sound of the drums.But the biggest cheers of the night were reserved not for Bolt, but J-pop boy band Arashi and Japanese rugby captain Michael Leitch."It was a great experience being here running in front of so many people... I was happy because I...

LONDON — Everton appointed Carlo Ancelotti as the club's new manager on Saturday, with the experienced Italian taking charge at Goodison Park on a four-and-a-half year deal.Ancelotti, 60, will attend Saturday's Premier League clash with Arsenal, but will not take charge until the Boxing Day visit of Burnley.The three-time Champions League winning coach was sacked by Napoli earlier this month but comes with a trophy-laden CV from spells at a clutch of Europe's top clubs, including Juventus, AC Milan, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.His arrival is a coup for the Toffees, who are languishing in 16th place in the Premier League, just three points above the relegation zone."This is a great club with a rich history and a very passionate fan...

Roma beats Fiorentina to solidify Champions League push
MILAN — Aleksandar Kolarov scored a magnificent free-kick as Roma bolstered their Champions League credentials in Italy with a 4-1 victory away to Fiorentina on Friday.Edin Dzeko's seventh goal of the season put Roma ahead on 19 minutes in Florence against a side without a win at home since Oct. 6.Former Manchester City defender Kolarov curled in a terrific 20-yard strike to double Roma's lead before Milan Badelj pulled one back just past the half-hour.Roma ensured they put some pressure on local rivals Lazio as Lorenzo Pellegrini's first-time effort from a Dzeko lay-off restored their two-goal cushion on 73 minutes.The Bosnian forward then released Nicolo Zaniolo just inside the Fiorentina half, allowing the Italy international to sweep in a late fourth after a long...

'I have to earn new deal', insists Guardiola
MANCHESTER, United Kingdom — Pep Guardiola insists he still has to earn a new contract at Manchester City despite winning five major trophies in the past two seasons.City are keen for Guardiola to commit to a deal beyond the current one that ends in 2021.But, in the midst of a frustrating season that sees City trailing Premier League leaders Liverpool by 14 points, the 48-year-old says there is no rush to agree an extension, partly because performance will be a factor in his future."I have one more year and always I have to deserve to extend my contract," Guardiola told reporters on Friday."Managers, we have to get results. At this club you have to win. In football, we spoke about this, the situation changed a lot, managers today, even in this country, they change a...

Scott surges into Australian PGA Championship lead
GOLD COAST, Australia — World No. 18 Adam Scott surged into one shot lead at the European Tour co-sanctioned Australian PGA Championships Saturday as the veteran campaigner looks to end his year on a high.The 39-year-old headed into the tournament on the back of bitter disappointment at being on the losing side during last week's Presidents Cup to Tiger Woods' Americans at Royal Melbourne.But he has quickly put it aside in a bid to claim a second Australian PGA title and his first since 2013 when he romped to a four-stroke win over American Rickie Fowler.Scott birdied the final hole at Royal Pines Resort on the Gold Coast for a three-under-par 69 to lead by a stroke from fellow Australian and old friend Wade Ormsby, who fired a 70."It's incredibly bunched, and if...
