FILE - Poland s Iga Swiatek, poses with the French Open women s singles trophy on a rooftop with the Eiffel Tower in the background in Paris, in this Sunday, Oct. 11, 2020, file photo. It’s understandable if names such as skateboarder Sky Brown, Denver Nuggets center Bol Bol or French Open champion Iga Swiatek don’t ring an instant bell. Just wait, though. By the time 2021 ends, they could be making an even bigger name for themselves. (AP Photo/Christophe Ena, File)
For some, the sky’s the limit, which also just happens to be the title of the book written by 12-year-old British skateboarder Sky Brown.
For others, it’s no stretch that big things appear ahead. Exhibit A: 7-foot-2 Denver Nuggets center Bol Bol and his roughly 7-8 wingspan.
So many potential stars in the making. So many stages for them to shine. One of the biggest will be this summer during the Tokyo Games, which were postponed a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
By the time 2021 ends, a new crop of names will start to become even more familiar. So let’s name-drop a few (sorry, Trevor Lawrence, you’re already too big of a name for this list):
TSN Hockey Reporter Mark Masters reports on the World Junior Hockey Championship. Team Canada practised on Friday at the Westerner Park Centrium in Red Deer, Alta.
Kamloops Blazers forward Connor Zary woke up early on Friday morning. It was hard to sleep knowing Hockey Canada s final cuts were looming. Then he he heard a knock at the door. All the coaching staff and management was outside and Bear [head coach Andre Tourigny] handed me his phone right away and it was my family and I knew, the Calgary Flames 2020 first round pick said. But when they said those words, that I was going to be part of this team, just, the emotion going through my head and through their faces . that was special.
