McLaren Racing signed Formula One driver Lando Norris to a multiyear contract, the team announced Friday. His previous four-year deal was set to expire at the end of 2025, but McLaren wanted to assure he stayed part of the team for the long term. McLaren did not announce the specific length or financial terms for Norris, who has been with the team for six years. "McLaren's felt like home since day one," Norris, 24, said in a video posted to the team's social media. "I'm just happy to be staying with the people that I've grown up with, who have helped me develop as a driver, who made me into the person I am today. The team's as strong as it's ever been. "They are who I believe I can win my championships with. I've prepared more than I have ever before and I'm in a good position. I feel confident, I think, as a team with the people I have around me with everyone here McLaren. We've got what it takes. Everything's in place." Here to stay. ?? @LandoNorris pic.twitter.com/4Kyir4W4RO— McLaren (@McLarenF1) January 26, 2024 The British driver had his best season in 2023, finishing sixth in the FIA Formula 1 Drivers' Championship with 205 points. He had six second-place finishes, including at the British Grand Prix. "I'm delighted that we're continuing our relationship with Lando for multiple years to come. It's been a fantastic journey over the last six years, and he has shown fantastic commitment and desire to push the team forward and get McLaren back to the front of the grid," said Zak Brown, CEO of McLaren Racing. "Last season we saw the fundamental role Lando played with the impressive turnaround in results, and I'm looking forward to continuing this push forward together with lots more podiums." McLaren signed its other F1 driver, Oscar Piastri, to a contract extension in September. The F1 season is scheduled to begin March 2 with the Bahrain Grand Prix. —Field Level Media

Euro 2012 co-hosts Poland came from behind to win a crucial point in an exciting 1-1 draw against Russia in Warsaw on Tuesday.
Russia entered the game on the back of a 4-1 victory over the Czech Republic in their Euro 2012 opener and took the lead after 37 minutes through Alan Dzagoev.
Dzagoev who scored twice against the Czechs headed Andrey Arshavin s free-kick past Polish goalkeeper Przemyslaw Tyton and into the back of the net.
Polish captain Jakub Blaszczykowski produced a stunning response, though, scoring a long-range left-footer from outside the box just 12 minutes into the second half.

Mario Mandzukic has signed a new contract that ties him to the Serie A champions until 2021.
Mandzukic s previous deal with the Bianconeri had another season to run, but the Croatia international has penned an extra year in Turin.
Since arriving at Juve from Atletico Madrid in 2015, Mandzukic has scored 43 goals in 159 appearances in all competitions – including a sensational equaliser in the 2017 Champions League final against Real Madrid, which Massimiliano Allegri s men went on to lose 4-1.

Netherlands striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has already put the disappointment of Euro 2012 behind him.
The Dutch crashed out at the first hurdle after losing all three of their Group B games in Poland and Ukraine, after the side had been touted as a potential winner.
Bert van Marwijk has since been replaced by Louis van Gaal as the national team coach, and the Schalke forward has urged his side to look forward and not back.
We did not play well together and were already eliminated after the group stages, Huntelaar told Voetbal International.
That was a big disappointment, especially since everyone was expecting so much from us; I was too. During my holiday I quickly closed the book on the European Championship. To me, it is now behind us.

Market: West Ham win
Odds: 10/11 @
Looking to extend on what has been a stunning run of form, West Ham will make the trip to the Luminus Arena when they face off against Genk on Thursday evening.
Starting with the hosts, last seen over the weekend picking up what was a remarkable 6-2 win away at Waregem on domestic duties, Genk has suddenly found themselves enjoying a much-welcomed boost over the past week. However, while the Belgium outfit might have recorded a staggering 12 goals in their back-to-back victories across all formats, that doesn t cover what has been an inconsistent run of form since opening October. Suffering five straight defeats last month and watching Head Coach John van den Brom come under real scrutiny, Genk have also managed to land just a …
Raheem Sterling became the most expensive English footballer on this day in 2015 after completing his £49million move from Liverpool to Manchester City.
The 20-year-old England forward, who was assigned the number seven shirt, was also City’s record signing.
City’s interest in Sterling had been an open secret for some time, but Liverpool were desperate to retain his services.
However, they were fighting a losing battle from the moment Sterling told manager Brendan Rodgers he wanted to leave following his return for pre-season training and requested not to be included in the party for the club’s pre-season trip to Australia and the far east.
Liverpool rejected a series of offers from City as they held out for their £50m valuation of their prize ass…

Injury issues started derailing the Baltimore Ravens’ 2021 plans before the schedule kicked off and stacked up week after week until the team reached a breaking point in December, when quarterback Lamar Jackson went down.
Baltimore is now healed up and will get back to what it does best: Pounding the ground. That dominating rushing attack fuels so many parts of this football team, including the squad’s performance on defense.
The Ravens are ready to return among the NFL’s defensive elite in 2022, with a twist: New coordinator Mike Macdonald. He’s adding new wrinkles to a stop unit that got stale under the blitz-happy, man-to-man schemes of Wink Martindale.
