OLYMPICS
SEOUL
Cowboys Leighton Vander Esch Jersey , South Korea (AP) The rival Koreas will sit down for their first formal talks in more than two years next week to
find ways to cooperate on the Winter Olympics in the South and to improve their
abysmal ties, Seoul officials said Friday. While a positive sign after last
year’s threats of nuclear war, the Koreas have a long history of failing to move
past their deep animosity.
The announcement came hours after the United States said it will delay annual military exercises with South Korea until after the Winter Olympics in
Pyeongchang, South Korea, next month. The exercises infuriate North Korea, which
claims they are an invasion rehearsal

On Friday morning, North Korea sent a message saying it would accept South Korea’s offer to meet at the border village of Panmunjom next Tuesday to discuss
Olympic cooperation and how to improve overall ties, according to South Korea’s
Unification Ministry, which handles North Korean matters. Panmunjom is where a
North Korean soldier dashed across the border into the South in November. He is
recovering after being shot five times by his former comrades.
WINTER WEATHER
The NHL game in Boston between the Bruins and Florida Panthers was among the sports events disrupted by the winter storm that hit the East Coast.
The Panthers-Bruins matchup was postponed. The NHL hasn’t yet announced a makeup date.

backs coach, but that meeting will now take place next week.
Boston College pushed back the women’s basketball game it was scheduled to host against North Carolina by a day until Friday. Also

season-opening meet Saturday.
Horse racing at Aqueduct Racetrack was called off through the weekend because of the snow, cold and wind. Live racing will resume on Jan. 11.
TENNIS
Serena Williams’ decision not to defend her Australian Open title four months after giving birth to her first child had nothing to do with merely being able
to play at Melbourne Park.
The seven-time Australian Open champion confirmed she wouldn’t attempt to defend the title she won here last year, saying she wasn’t convinced she could
win it.
Williams played in an exhibition tournament last weekend in Abu Dhabi to test her match condition, and indicated after her loss to French Open champion Jelena
Ostapenko that she might not travel to Melbourne.
Williams was pregnant when she won at Melbourne Park last year, her Open-era record 23rd Grand Slam singles title. She gave birth to her daughter, Alexis

Williams didn’t drop a set while winning last year’s title, and her victory helped her regain the world No.1 ranking.
The 36-year-old Williams needs only one more major title to equal the all-time record held by Margaret Court, who won 13 of her 24 Grand Slam titles
before the Open era began in 1968.

HOCKEY
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) – International Ice Hockey Federation President Rene’ Fasel placed the emphasis on NHL players to persuade the league to compete at
the 2022 Beijing Winter Games.
NHL Players’ Association chief Don Fehr responded by saying it’s a little more complicated than that.

Authentic Isaac Yiadom Jersey , he told The Associated Press he’s not ready to commit to re-opening bargaining talks next year in a bid to have that
happen.
Fehr also put the onus back on Fasel by noting the IIHF will have to budge on its position of refusing to pay for transportation and players’ insurance costs
for 2022.
Fehr was responding to comments Fasel made following a news conference at the world junior hockey championship in Buffalo, New York, on Thursday. Fehr spoke
while attending the 10-nation tournament later in the day,.
