COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. Jun 2 – The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee today announced its annual award recipients for seven coaches and four support staff members of the year for 2025. The recipients include three winter and four summer coaches, as well as four service providers across the Olympic and Paralympic Movement.
This year’s award recipients include U.S. Ski & Snowboard’s Alex Hoedlmoser as Olympic Coach of the Year and USA Track & Field’s Kris Mack as Paralympic Coach of the Year.

For the first time, this year’s support staff awards were expanded, recognizing winners from dietetics, strength and conditioning, and sports medicine across the Olympic and Paralympic Movement. Dietetics featured two award winners: USOPC’s Carrie Aprik, who supports five different National Governing Bodies, and USA Wrestling’s Nuwanee Tamaki. Regan Dewhirst of U.S. Ski & Snowboard was selected as the sports medicine representative, while Brandon Siakel of the USOPC earned the strength and conditioning award.

Olympic Coach of the Year – Alex Hoedlmoser (U.S. Ski & Snowboard)
Alex Hoedlmoser had a year to remember in 2025, serving as the alpine coach for U.S. Ski & Snowboard heading into the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026. He led a staff of six coaches and five ski technicians while coaching athletes, including Breezy Johnson, Lauren Macuga and Lindsey Vonn. Under Hoedlmoser’s leadership, Johnson delivered one of the best seasons of her career, becoming a two-time world champion at the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships Saalbach 2025, first winning the downhill then teaming with Mikaela Shiffrin to win the team combined world title. Hoedlmoser also guided Macuga through a breakout world cup season that included her first Super-G victory in St. Anton and a bronze medal at her first world championships. His emphasis on individualized coaching and team culture also helped support Vonn’s historic return to world cup competition, as the Olympic champion reestablished herself among the world’s top skiers while helping foster a strong sense of camaraderie throughout the U.S. team.
Paralympic Coach of the Year – Kris Mack (USA Track & Field)
Kris Mack showcased exceptional versatility and technical expertise throughout 2025, coaching athletes to podium finishes across multiple Para track and field disciplines.

In addition to his Paralympic success, Mack continued coaching able-bodied athletes, guiding Harrison Williams to another world championships appearance in the decathlon in 2025.
Developmental Coach of the Year – Li Geng (U.S. Speedskating)
Coach Li Geng played a vital role in the development of her athletes during the 2025 season, supporting their personal, social, academic and emotional growth alongside competitive success. Coaching skaters ranging in age from 13 to 25, she carefully managed training loads based on each athlete’s physical and mental readiness, helping athletes remain healthy, consistent and injury free while producing strong performances at national and international competitions. Her athletes earned results at the 2025 U.S. Age Group Nationals, ISU Junior World Cups and Junior World Championships, with multiple skaters advancing to A-finals at the international junior level. One of the season’s highlights came when Kamryn Lute placed third at the 2026 U.S. Championships, which served as a qualifying event for the 2026 U.S. Olympic Team. By emphasizing discipline, resilience and teamwork while creating an engaging training environment, Geng developed athletes who represented U.S. Speedskating with professionalism and maturity both on and off the ice.

Smith Gilbert also guided Aaliyah Butler to two NCAA titles and a world championship gold medal, showcasing her ability to develop athletes from the collegiate level to the world stage. As U.S. Track & Field and Cross-Country Coaches Association president, the 2025 Women’s National Coach of the Year and one of the few women to lead a combined track and field program, Smith Gilbert continues to be one of track and field’s most influential leaders.
Volunteer Coach of the Year – Rick Delia (USA Baseball)
Rick Delia was named Volunteer Coach of the Year for his impactful work with the Miracle League of the Triangle.

Nic Petersen continued to establish himself as one of the nation’s premier jumping coaches during his 15th season as associate head coach at the University of Florida. Petersen has coached 21 NCAA champions in jumping events during his time at Florida and has twice been named National Assistant Coach of the Year in the last three seasons. On the international stage, he guided Jasmine Moore to two bronze medals at the Olympic Games Paris 2024 in the long jump and triple jump, marking the first time an American woman earned an Olympic medal in the triple jump. In 2025, Petersen coached Claire Bryant to a world indoor championship title in the long jump with a personal-best 6.96 meters before she added a fifth-place finish at the world outdoor championships in Tokyo, while Malcolm Clemons captured the NCAA outdoor title in the long jump. Petersen also stands out for his innovative use of sport science, partnering with USATF Regional Sport Scientist Dr. Harper Stewart to implement biomechanical analysis and motion-capture technology that helps optimize performance, reduce injury risk and maximize athlete development.

6月2日华盛顿讯，今天晚间，美国最高法院裁定允许阿拉巴马州采用一套新的国会选区划分图；此前，一家联邦下级法院曾裁定该选区图对黑人选民构成歧视。 美国最高法院以6比3的票数作出的这项裁决，预计将导致阿拉巴马州的共和党人在11月的中期选举中于众议院多赢得一个席位，原因在于新选区划分稀释了黑人选民的选票影响力。 这项裁决推翻了阿拉巴马州伯明翰市美国联邦地方法院一个由3名法官组成的合议庭于5月26日作出的裁决；该合议庭此前认定，上述选区划分图“蓄意基于种族实施歧视”。 此前，鉴于美国最高法院近期在“路易斯安那州诉卡莱斯案”（Louisiana v. Callais）中作出的裁决，该合议庭被迫重新审视其此前的一项裁决，即禁止在州级选举中使用这套于2023年绘制的选区划分图。 在上述案件中，美国最高法院裁定路易斯安那州对其国会选区进行的划分构成了“种族杰利蝾螈”，即种族操纵选区。 上周，阿拉巴马州共和党官员向最高法院寻求紧急救济，此前地方法院裁定该州2023年的选区划分图是非法的，理由是其蓄意基于种族进行歧视。这些官员表示，在划定选区界线时，制图者的目的是为了协助共和党，并将墨西哥湾沿岸地区完整地保留在一个国会选区内。 特朗普政府支持阿拉巴马州的立场，力挺该州在即将到来的中期选举中沿用2023年划定的国会选区方案；政府方面辩称，联邦法院不应干预选举事务，也不应僭越各州在划分国会选区方面所享有的职权。 然而，一群选民及多个投票权倡导团体对阿拉巴马州的上述主张提出了反驳。阿拉巴马州曾声称，该州三年前在绘制国会选区图时，其初衷是为了实现特定的党派政治目标。在提交给最高法院的一份文件中，这些选民及团体指出，州议会在当时并未提及任何党派政治目标；他们还特别强调，地方法院此前已裁定，没有任何证据（即“零证据”）表明制图者的动机是为了维护特定党派利益或保护现任议员的席位。 由全国有色人种协进会（NAACP）和美国公民自由联盟（ACLU）代理的选民们表示：“如果批准阿拉巴马州的请求，将意味着法院以一种扰乱既定预期、引发选民困惑的方式介入正在进行的选举，甚至会给最尽职尽责的选举官员制造混乱和难以执行的最后期限。” 全国有色人种协进会总法律顾问克里斯汀·克拉克（Kristen Clarke）批评了最高法院的这项裁决，但同时鼓励黑人选民在即将到来的选举中积极投票，以此表达他们的异议。 克拉克在一份声明中说：“最高法院正持续给我们的民主进程制造混乱；而通过最近的这一举动，它竟然批准阿拉巴马州使用一份此前已被认定为具有蓄意歧视性质的国会选区划分图，这届法院正以一种令‘吉姆·克劳法’（Jim Crow…
6月2日华盛顿讯，白宫记者协会今天宣布，将把其年度新闻晚宴改期至7月24日举行。此前，原定举办的晚宴因一名枪手发动袭击而被迫中断。当时，特朗普总统、多位政府高级官员以及数十名记者正在出席该晚宴。 该协会主席、哥伦比亚广播公司（CBS）新闻部资深白宫记者姜伟嘉（Weijia Jiang）在致该协会成员的一封电子邮件中称，改期后的记者晚宴将是一场“更为私密的聚会”，并会采取“显著强化的安保措施及全新的入场流程”。 特朗普总统表示，他已接受邀请将于下个月的晚宴上发表演讲；他更将这场晚宴形容为一张“‘炙手可热’的入场券！” 姜伟嘉在邮件中写道：“这场晚宴不仅将是我们推行各项计划的一次契机，更将是一份庄严的声明，宣告暴力在美国生活中绝无立足之地，且自由的新闻界绝不会因恐吓而被迫噤声，正如你们所有人所展现的那样，勇气与团结的力量能够、也理应超越一切。” 她还表示，在听取了成员们的意见后，该协会理事会做出了举办第二场晚宴的决定。 姜伟嘉表示：“我们绝不会任由一起暴力事件来主导最终的结局——尤其是在今年，正值我们反思美国建国250周年及其所代表的一切价值观之际。” 这场晚宴原定于4月25日举行，但因一名枪手试图强闯活动场馆外的安检口，导致晚宴被迫中断。当时出席活动的特朗普总统、副总统万斯以及数位内阁官员被紧急撤离，而现场的记者和媒体高管们则纷纷躲藏在桌下避险。 在枪击事件发生后不久举行的新闻发布会上，特朗普总统表示该场晚宴将会择日重新举办。 警方确认此次袭击事件的嫌疑人为科尔·艾伦（Cole Allen），现年31岁。据警方称，艾伦搭乘火车从加利福尼亚州前往华盛顿特区，并下榻于原定举办新闻晚宴的华盛顿希尔顿酒店。他被指控企图刺杀总统、使用致命武器袭击联邦执法人员，以及两项涉枪罪名。艾伦对所有指控均表示不认罪。在庭审开始前，他将继续被羁押。 据检方透露，当艾伦试图强行闯过举办晚宴的酒店宴会厅上一层的安检关卡时，他随身携带着一把霰弹枪、一把手枪以及数把刀具。执法官员表示，艾伦曾向一名特勤局特工开枪；该特工虽被击中，但因当时他身穿防弹背心，并未受重伤。
6月2日洛杉矶讯，全美今天共有六个州举行初选，其中包括加利福尼亚州；在该州，选民将投票决定哪两位候选人能够入围11月州长竞选的最终选票。 洛杉矶市竞选 洛杉矶居民也将参与该市市长竞选的投票，共和党籍真人秀明星斯潘塞·普拉特（Spencer Pratt）正试图挑战并击败现任市长凯伦·巴斯（Karen Bass）。如果今天的投票中没有任何一位候选人获得绝对多数票，得票数最高的两位候选人将在11月进行最终对决。 加利福尼亚州竞选 今天最值得关注的主要竞选包括加利福尼亚州州长竞选。现任民主党州长加文·纽森（Gavin Newsom）作为2028年总统大选的热门人选之一，同时也是民主党内最具影响力的成员之一，因受任期限制所限，无法再次参选。加利福尼亚州通过“前两名初选”（top-two primary）机制选拔候选人，这意味着得票数最高的2名参选人将晋级，将进入今年11月举行的正式大选投票环节。 此次加州州长竞选的局势一直处于群雄逐鹿的开放状态，尤其是在民主党前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯（Kamala Harris）和联邦参议员亚历克斯·帕迪利亚（Alex Padilla）相继决定不参选之后。前联邦众议员埃里克·斯瓦尔韦尔（Eric Swalwell）虽是较晚加入战局的参选人，但此前一度在民调中领跑；然而，在今年4月份面临性侵指控后，他无奈宣布退出竞选，并辞去了联邦众议员席位。 斯瓦尔韦尔退出后，民主党总统拜登时期的卫生部长泽维尔·贝塞拉（Xavier Becerra）的支持率飙升，此前他在民调和筹款方面一直落后。而亿万富翁民主党人汤姆·斯泰尔（Tom…
6月2日德黑兰讯，伊朗中央军事指挥部副指挥官准将穆罕默德·贾法尔·阿萨迪（Mohammad Jafar Asadi）今天表示，伊朗尚未亮出其所有的“王牌”。 阿萨迪在接受伊朗半官方伊朗神圣圣战新闻通讯社(Defa Press）采访时说道：“我们尚未打出所有的王牌，我们还拥有许多能力，若有必要，我们将予以动用。” 阿萨迪指出，美国所寻求的无异于让伊朗彻底投降；但他强调，伊朗民族绝不会屈从于其视为过分的要求。 阿萨迪指出：“既然投降并非选项，那么摆在面前的便是战争。因此，我们已做好了准备，并且对战争毫无顾虑。”他还补充称，即便北约（NATO）向该地区部署兵力，伊朗也依然会“泰然处之”。 伊朗副外长卡齐姆·加里巴巴迪（Kazem Gharibabadi）今天表示，特朗普总统声称他已说服以色列总理内塔尼亚胡放弃对黎巴嫩首都贝鲁特实施此前扬言要发动的袭击，该说法证明了美国在管控以色列战争行为方面发挥了“直接作用”。 特朗普总统在社交媒体平台“真实社交”上发帖称，他在6月1日的一次通话中曾要求内塔尼亚胡“不要对贝鲁特发动大规模突袭”，以色列在当天早些时候曾发出过此类威胁。 特朗普总统说道：“他让他的部队撤回了。” 加里巴巴迪今天在社交媒体平台X上发帖指出，特朗普总统的该说法“与其说是华盛顿寻求和平本质的体现，不如说是美国在管控以色列政权侵略行径方面发挥直接作用的证据。” 加里巴巴迪说道：“如果对一个独立国家首都发动打击的决定仅仅通过一通电话就能改变，那么核心问题就在于：为何在西方的政治和军事支持下，长达数月的违反停火协议、针对黎巴嫩的侵略行径、造成民众流离失所以及对该国主权的威胁却得以持续存在？” 加里巴巴迪表示，当前的“地区危机”并非源于“零星的紧张局势”，而是“以色列政权所犯下的罪行及其享有的有罪不罚特权的产物”。 尽管特朗普总统此前表示以色列与真主党双方已同意停火，以便为即将在华盛顿举行的、由美国居中斡旋的以色列与黎巴嫩官员新一轮会谈铺平道路，但美伊双方在夜间仍持续发生冲突。…
6月1日华盛顿讯，美国司法部今天表示，在一名联邦地区法官裁定暂时叫停一项18亿美元的“反武器化基金”计划后，该部将停止推进这项基金的相关工作。 此举是在该计划遭到美国国会共和党人强烈抵制之后采取的；共和党人此前威胁称，该计划将危及共和党在国会的各项议程。 美国司法部在社交媒体平台X上发文表示，将遵守法官关于叫停该基金工作的裁决，这意味着该基金的设立计划目前实际上已被搁置。 美国司法部在社交媒体X上写道：“司法部强烈反对弗吉尼亚东区联邦地区法院法官就‘反武器化基金’所作出的裁决。在该裁决中，法院认定：在任何情况下，司法部均不得继续推进这项近期设立的‘反武器化基金’；而设立该基金的初衷，正是为了弥补许多人所遭受的、极不公正的巨大滥权侵害、伤害与仇恨对待。” 美国司法部还写道：“这项基金面向所有曾遭受此类‘武器化’手段针对或迫害的人士开放，无论其政治立场是民主党、共和党、保守派、独立人士，还是其他群体。司法部将遵守法院的裁决。” 美国联邦地区法官莱奥妮·布林克玛（Leonie Brinkema）于5月29日发布了一项命令，暂时禁止美国司法部继续推进该基金的运作。此举旨在“确保在法官审议是否发布长期禁令期间，不会有任何资金被不可逆转地拨付出去”。 布林克玛法官目前正负责审理一桩诉讼案。该案的原告包括曾参与处理与2021年1月6日美国国会大厦遇袭事件相关的案件的一名前联邦检察官，以及其他数名原告。布林克玛法官的命令暂时禁止美国司法部“针对该基金计划的设立或运作采取任何进一步行动”，具体禁令包括：向该基金划拨资金、审查已提交的任何索赔申请，以及进行任何款项支付。针对此案的听证会定于6月12日举行。 美国司法部宣布设立“反武器化基金”，作为一项民事诉讼和解协议的组成部分；该诉讼由特朗普总统针对美国国税局（IRS）提起，起因是一位前政府承包商泄露了他的纳税申报表。该基金旨在利用纳税人的资金，向那些声称联邦政府已被“武器化”并针对他们行使权力的人士发放赔偿金。 然而，当特朗普总统的盟友，其中包括一些因涉嫌参与1月6日国会大厦袭击事件而面临指控的人士，表示有意提交索赔申请时，这项计划随即引发了外界的强烈审视。特朗普总统在重返白宫履职的首日，便对约1500名因1月6日相关行为而被定罪的被告给予了宽恕；长期以来，特朗普总统一直坚称这些人受到了不公正的对待。 美国司法部决定不就布林克玛法官的裁决提起上诉，该举动反映出本届政府正面临来自两党议员的阻力；这些议员对该项基金计划抱有严重的疑虑。据多位知情人士透露，美国众议院议长迈克·约翰逊（Mike Johnson）今天在白宫与特朗普总统会面，双方就该基金问题进行了商讨。 针对该基金的反对声浪，在上个月美国参议院共和党党团会议期间达到了高潮；在会上，参议员们向代理司法部长托德·布兰奇（Todd Blanche）表达了他们对该基金的担忧。据美国参议员们描述，那场闭门会议的气氛一度变得十分紧张。部分议员对该基金及其推出的时机表达了强烈的不满，该局面最终迫使共和党领导层放弃了原定对国土安全部下属移民执法机构拨款进行表决的计划。 民主党人威胁要强行就该基金进行表决，这让正试图推进国土安全部（DHS）拨款事宜的共和党人陷入了进退两难的境地。鉴于部分共和党议员很可能会倒向民主党阵营，联手反对该项目，参议院共和党人曾考虑将针对该基金的“防护栏”条款直接纳入国土安全部拨款法案中，或者另寻他径，以规定该基金的运作方式及受偿对象的资格。此外，也有共和党人主张，应禁止那些曾袭击执法人员的群体获得赔偿。…
6月1日华盛顿讯，据预测市场平台上的交易员分析，美国国务卿马可·卢比奥（Marco Rubio）被视为越来越有可能成为共和党在2028年美国总统大选提名人。 尽管美国副总统万斯（J.D. Vance）在卡尔希（Kalshi）等预测平台上仍受到交易员的青睐，但其获胜几率已从1月1日时的约50%下滑至今天的仅33%。与此同时，卢比奥的获胜几率则从约12%攀升至30%。 鉴于万斯在特朗普政府中担任“二把手”的备受瞩目角色，他此前一直被视为特朗普总统“让美国再次伟大”（MAGA）运动的接班人。 据报道，特朗普总统已对其是否将万斯视为接班人一事流露出了疑虑。《纽约时报》周末发布的一篇报道对此进行了最新详述。《纽约时报》指出，每当特朗普总统考量万斯的参选前景时，他都会旧事重提，提及万斯最初曾反对美国对伊朗开战。 卢比奥的获胜几率在过去一年中持续走高，尤其是在几项关键军事行动启动前后出现了大幅飙升，其中包括今年1月份抓捕委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗（Nicolas Maduro）的行动，以及2月下旬对伊朗开战的事件。 此外，卢比奥本月曾在白宫新闻发布室发表了一场简短的即兴演讲，阐述了他对美国未来的期许；随后他将这段演讲剪辑成了一段广为流传的短视频，引发外界猜测：内阁成员卢比奥究竟对2028年的政治前途有着怎样的规划？ 尽管卢比奥在军事冲突中所扮演的角色提升了他获得共和党总统候选人提名的几率，但正是这些冲突可能会削弱共和党赢得总统大选的胜算。自年初以来，特朗普总统的支持率已呈下滑趋势。共和党在2028年入主白宫的几率已从对伊战争爆发前的45%，下跌至今天的39%。 在加密货币押注预测市场平台宝利巿场（Polymarket ）上，交易员们预测范斯在2028年获得共和党总统候选人提名的几率为31%，而卢比奥紧随其后，几率略低于27%。
