Gold: Larry Roeseler / Luke McMillin
(United States of America, Auto Racing)

The Baja 1000, held in Baja California, México, is the world’s most prestigious Off-Road race. Larry Roeseler, aged 63, won a race-record 14th Baja 1000 in the Overall classification, for a total of 18 Class wins. He first won the 1976 Baja 1000 in the Motorcycle category before retiring from Motorcycling in 1994 and transitioning to cars, where he had last won in 2008. 12 years later, he has won again, on a Trophy Truck. He shared driving duties with 27 year-old Luke McMillin, who took the truck at the 430-mile. They had finished third last year. With this result they are the SCORE Desert World Champions.

Cali Condors absolutely dominated the Finals of the second Swimming World League with a total of 561.5 points over 464.5 by Energy Standard (FRA), who they also beat on the Semifinals. They won 15 of 39 events in the Final and the top two swimmers in the MVP Standings were from their team: Caeleb Dressel (USA, 96 points) and Lilly King (USA, 71 points). Captain Dressel won a total of five Finals and imposed two short-course World Records in 40 minutes, in the 100-meter butterfly and the 50-meter freestyle. The next day he broke his own 100-meter Individual Medley World Record -set last Monday- and he is now one second faster than anyone else in history. Captain Dressel was the MVP, followed by teammate Lilly King (USA).
