OSAKA, Japan — In a season all but erased by COVID-19, a handful of Canadian figure skaters will have one last chance to compete at this week's World Team Trophy in Osaka, Japan. Nam Nguyen and Roman Sadovsky are the men's singles skaters, Alison Schumacher and Gabrielle Daleman will compete in women's singles, Lori-Ann Matte and Thierry Ferland are Canada's pairs team, and Carolane Soucisse and Shane Firus will compete in ice dance. The Team Trophy, which runs Thursday through Sunday, awards points to countries in the four disciplines combined. Canada won gold in the team event at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics, and silver in the event in 2014 in Sochi, Russia. Canada is sending a different team than the one that competed at the world figure skating championships last month in Stockholm, giving precious competition experience to skaters in a season that was virtually wiped out by the global pandemic. Both Skate Canada International and the Canadian championships were cancelled. The only semi-competitive event skaters completed in was the Skate Canada Challenge which was virtual - far from ideal in a pre-Olympic season. As of now, a limited number of fans will be allowed in Maruzen Intec Arena, despite rising COVID-19 cases in Osaka. Athletes will compete in a bubble environment, travelling only between the designated hotel and arena. The Tokyo Olympic torch relay recently cancelled the leg that was scheduled to pass through Osaka on Tuesday and Wednesday, raising questions about whether the Team Trophy would still go ahead. Osaka governor Hirofumi Yoshimura announced Sunday he may request a state of emergency amid the steep climb in COVID-19 cases and growing signs of a fourth wave driven by new variants.

CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Browns remain in active pursuit of defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, a person familiar with the situation told the Associated Press on Monday. The free agent visited the team last month and could do so again. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. It's unclear if the sides are negotiating a contract. ESPN, citing unidentified sources, said the sides are “progressing in talks.” The Browns offered Clowney a multiyear contract last year before he signed with the Tennessee Titans. Clowney had only one sack and played in eight games before undergoing season-ending knee surgery. If he comes to Cleveland, the 28-year-old Clowney would pair with All-Pro defensive end Myles Garret and give the Browns two of the NFL's best edge rushers on the same line. The Browns ended their long playoff drought last season and have Super Bowl aspirations. They have been in the market to upgrade their defensive end spot after Olivier Vernon ruptured an Achilles tendon in the regular-season finale and wasn't re-signed. Clowney's asking price could be the only impediment. The Browns won't invest too heavily in him after already committing $125 million over five years to Garrett. Clowney was the No. 1 overall pick by Houston in 2014 and has dealt with assorted injuries. He spent five seasons with the Texans, recording 29 sacks and making the Pro Bowl three times. He played one season in Seattle before going to Tennessee. ___ More AP NFL coverage: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL and https://twitter.com/AP_NFL Tom Withers, The Associated Press

NYON, Switzerland — The outspoken head of Spain’s La Liga is set to join UEFA’s executive committee next week, working alongside the Spanish soccer federation president he has often clashed with. Spanish league president Javier Tebas was picked by European Leagues, the 30-nation group said Monday, as its delegate to sit on the decision-making committee. If Tebas is confirmed on April 20 at the annual meeting of 55 UEFA member federations, he will take his place alongside Luis Rubiales, the Spanish federation boss who is a vice-president of the European soccer body. Tebas and Rubiales have often publicly criticized each other, including over La Liga’s wish to play games in the United States. Tebas has also been critical of UEFA rules to monitor the spending of wealthy clubs like Paris Saint-Germain, whose president Nasser al-Khelaifi is also a UEFA executive committee member. The European Leagues group has been represented at UEFA by Swedish official Lars-Christer Olsson. The former UEFA chief executive steps down next week after turning 70 and passing the age limit for re-election. Tebas is set to get a four-year mandate to 2025. His tenure is likely to see increased pressure on 20-team leagues like La Liga and England's Premier League to reduce to 16 or 18 to ease a congested fixture calendar. The Champions League is set to expand to 36 teams playing 100 extra matches from 2024 in a format expected to be agreed next Monday by the UEFA executive committee. Spain is also expected to team up with Portugal to be UEFA’s preferred single bidder to host the 2030 World Cup. ___ More AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports The Associated Press
