This week, United launched its own YouTube channel. To celebrate, the club placed a vast YouTube logo  on its stadium . Underneath it, towering over Busby’s head, was the page’s address. Every other Premier League club has long been on the platform. Now, at last and in style, United has succumbed to the future. For a team that has long been so pioneering and so groundbreaking off the field, United has always seemed curiously hesitant when it comes to soci

Athletes from North and South Korea marched together on Sunday during the closing ceremony of the 2018 Winter Olympics. Some waved the blue-and-white flag of a unified peninsula. Credit Doug Mills/The New York Times By  Motoko Rich Feb. 25, 2018 PYEONGCHANG, South Korea — The 23rd Winter Olympics came to a festive close on Sunday, with athletes from the two Koreas marching into the cold stadium together, but wearing different uniforms and waving the flags of their own countries. Although some athletes also carried flags showing a unified peninsula, the fact that so many were carrying distinct national flags was a pungent sign that the truce between North and South Korea that had marked these Olympic Games might already be dissipating. The 22 North Korean athletes — as well as the hundreds of  cheerleaders and security minders who accompanied them — will now depart for home across the heavily fortified border that divides the two nations. The geopolitical tensions that

Clare Egan, an American biathlete, talked about the multiple techniques used to manage the stress of the transition from skiing to target shooting. Credit Adam Pretty/Getty Images By  Tara Parker-Pope Feb. 21, 2018 PYEONGCHANG, South Korea — Race across the snow on skis as fast as you can. Now stop and shoot a target the size of an Oreo about 54 yards away. If you miss, you’ll ski penalty laps before you are allowed to race to the next set of targets. Most of us will never try the biathlon, a uniquely stressful sport that demands both physical intensity and emotional calm. But that doesn’t mean we can’t learn from it. Talking to an Olympic biathlete about how she trains for competition can offer a life lesson in managing stress and dialing back intensity and aggression in an instant.

Chelsea could move level on points with Man United with victory at Old Trafford this afternoon Hello good day and welcome to our coverage of the English Premier League.  We're in for a cracking Super Sunday and it kicks off with Crystal Palace v Tottenham at Selhurst Park at midday. But that is not the biggest and most mouth-watering game for today. It is Chelsea away to Manchester United that promises to be the cracker. That game kicks off at 14:05 GMT. Well, we all know Manchester City are not going to throw away the title but for now, Sunday could see a bit of a shake-up among the Champions League also-rans.  Manchester United have slipped to third after Liverpool's win over West Ham yesterday, and Chelsea could move level on points with them with victory at Old Trafford.  And Tottenham. We haven't even come to them yet - they could well profit nicely with a victory at struggling Crystal Palace.
