Winter Olympics 2026 - Highlights: GB snowboard star Brookes into big air final Watch highlights as Mia Brookes qualifies for the snowboard big air final.

I was honestly on the edge of my seat watching the women's big air snowboarding on Winter Olympics. Just so unbelievably impressive.

Nearly 300 apply as French university offers US academics β€˜scientific asylum’ Aix-Marseille University generates interest amid a US crackdown and calls for a β€˜scientific refugee’ status

Hopefully other universities will follow suit.
