Michelle and her book with the GGWSS logo
Hall of Famer @macsmith413.bsky.social on her new book “Life’s Work: How Tara VanDerveer & Stanford Women’s Basketball Changed the Sport Forever.” How Tara’s style changed with the times, how Smith’s “life’s work” mirrors that of the coach she profiles & more.

Graphic shows the cover of picture book "Fearless Heart: An Illustrated Biography of Surya Bonaly" by Frank Murphy with Surya Bonaly. Art by Anastasia Magloire Williams. Illustration shows the figure skater Surya Bonaly in a turquoise figure skating dress with gold accents, upside down mid-backflip. Surya has dark brown skin and black hair in a bun. She wears gold jewelry.
An Olympics and Black History Month spotlight on Surya Bonaly, the fearless skater who redefined what her sport could look like.
With Ilia Malinin recently performing her signature move, the one-foot backflip, Surya's story is rightfully in the spotlight.

Graphic displays a quote from Mirin Fader: "If you want to understand the full human experience—the grit, the joy, the sadness, the frustration and excitement within all of us—there is no better place to look than sports writing. In a world that sometimes tells us that this writing isn’t as important as other writing, we know better. Sports is a microcosm of society, a kaleidoscope of who we are. I’m grateful to be able to share the incredible work of my peers, so the world can understand itself better."
We are proud to announce the guest editor of The Year's Best Sports Writing 2026, coming this fall: @mirinfader.bsky.social, best-selling author and senior writer at The Athletic.

Don't know about you, but we're at the "reading an entire book about Russian sports history to better understand the show's historical and cultural context" stage of our Heated Rivalry fandom. @beastofberglund.bsky.social

Too much of sports reporting has become co-opted by hot take noise and betting support services. When I edited The Year’s Best Sports Writing in 2024, The Washington Post had a volume of excellent stories, subjects other outlets weren’t touching. It would be a true loss for the business.

We had the pleasure of working with The Washington Post sports desk on championship books for the Nationals and Capitals, and its talented writers have been a mainstay in The Year's Best Sports Writing, exploring meaning that goes far beyond the traditional playing field.
