  • Scott Hamilton reveals why he decided to hang up his ice skates

  • He also talks about heading to Milan for next year's Winter Olympics as a broadcaster

  • On Nov. 23, he'll also host his annual Scott Hamilton and Friends fundraiser for cancer research

Scott Hamilton, the legendary ice skater who won the United States' very first Olympics gold medal for men's figure skating back in 1984, says he no longer gets on the ice.

Is it because he's sacred of slipping and breaking a hip? His ankles could give way?

None of the above.

"See, when you get to be a certain age...I'm 67 now, and nobody, NOBODY — I say that in all caps — wants to see a 67-year-old man in spandex. No one," he tells PEOPLE with a laugh.

While he may no longer do triple-axels while donning tight suits and sequins, he is still very much involved in the world of skating.

Next February, Hamilton will be in Milan for the 2026 Winter Olympics, bringing his signature exuberance and joy to the broadcasting booth, and on Nov. 23, he's putting on his annual Scott Hamilton and Friendsfundraiser, which brings music and ice skating together to raise money for hisCARESFoundation.

Figure skaters rocking the rink this year will include Olympians Jeremy Abbott, Nathan Chen, Keegan Messing, Mariah Bell, Polina Edmunds and Sinead Kerr Marshall with partner John Kerr, alongside viral sensation Elladj Baldé and Maxim Naumov.

"We also have lead singers from Loverboy, Chicago, Journey, Kansas and REO Speedwagon," he says of this year's musical performers, all of whom are joining to form one superband for the night.

"Back in the day, I would've killed to get a backstage pass to see or meet or to be in the same proximity as these guys, and now I'm producing them at my show. It's like, 'Are you kidding me?!' "

Hamilton's CARES Foundation partners with cancer research centers that focus on cures that don't leave lasting harm to the patient — a mission close to Hamilton's heart, afterhe recovered from prostate cancerin 1997.

"For so long, chemotherapy, traditional radiation, all the surgeries that have traditionally been used, they create harm in the patient. We like to partner with like-minded organizations to elevate specific cancer research — immunotherapy, targeted therapy, proton therapy — anything that will treat the cancer and spare the patient harm," Hamilton explains.

He says everything he's seen throughout his years as a fundaiser and activist gives him a positive outlook when it comes to the future of cancer treatments.

"Everything I've learned, everything I've seen, everything I've witnessed, everything that I believe to be true says that there'll be a time, probably in my lifetime — and I'm 67, so it's not like I've got decades and decades left — is that there will be a day wherenoone dies of cancer."

Ohio State replaces Indiana at No. 1 in college football's NCAA Re-Rank 1-136

Ohio State returns to No. 1 in the USA TODAY Sports NCAA Re-Rank 1-136, replacingIndianaafter theHoosiers struggled to pull out a last-second winagainst Penn State inWeek 11 of the college football season.

The razor-thin margin separating the two best teams in the Big Ten comes down to theBuckeyes' stunning amount of game control in conference play. All six conference wins, four on the road, have come by at least 18 points while the Hoosiers have a pair of single-digit road wins against Iowa and theNittany Lions.

Indiana ranks 10th in the Bowl Subdivision with 7.02 yards per play. The Buckeyes are two spots behind at 6.99 yards per play. The Ohio State passing game is more productive, ranking second in the Power Four with 9.9 yards per pass and leading the nation in completing 80.5% of attempts.

Defensively, the Buckeyes leads the FBS in allowing 211.5 yards per game and 3.8 yards per play. Indiana isn't far behind, though, ranking fifth with 257.1 yards per play and tied for 13th with 4.62 yards per play.

The overall gap might be microscopic — but it's a comparison the Buckeyes win. Texas A&M remains a somewhat distant No. 3 aftersending another road crowd home early in a 38-17 win against Missouri. Next comes No. 4 Alabama, No. 5 Georgia, No. 6 Oregon, No. 7 Mississippi and then No. 8 Texas Tech, which moves up one spot after beating Brigham Young 29-7.

One team making a noticeable climb in this week's re-rank is No. 10 Texas, which rises five spots and moves ahead of No. 11 Oklahoma, No. 12Georgia Techand No. 13 Vanderbilt. TheLonghornshave wins against theSoonersandCommodores.

NFL's Week 10 was filled with upsets, comebacks, routs and statement wins

Five underdogs won. Big leads weren't safe. Several games weren't close.

Sunday was filled with upsets, comebacks, routs and statements.

There were some impressive individual performances, too.

Jonathan Taylor had244 yards rushingfor the Colts. Miami'sDe'Von Achaneran for 174. Patriots rookie TreVeyon Henderson had a pair of50-plus yard touchdownruns.

DeMarcus Lawrence scored twice on fumble returns for Seattle.

Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford became the first player in NFL history with at least four touchdown passes and no interceptions in three consecutive games.

The Miami Dolphins stunned the Buffalo Bills, rolling to a 30-13 victory. Josh Allen and the Bills were 8 1/2-point favorites a week after a win over Patrick Mahomes and theKansas City Chiefs.

But the reigning NFL MVP had two turnovers and Buffalo (6-3) was never close after falling behind 16-0 at halftime.

Tua Tagovailoa threw two TD passes and Achane had two scores for Miami (3-7). The Dolphins have won two of three and have a chance to start a streak. They face Washington (3-7) next week in Spain and then return from a bye to take on New Orleans (2-8) and the New York Jets (2-7).

Led by rookie quarterback Tyler Shough, the Saints went to Carolina and knocked off the Panthers, 17-7. Shough threw for 282 yards and two TDs in his second career start.

A week after beating the Packers at Lambeau Field, the Panthers had a chance to get to 6-4, which would've been their best start since 2017. They were 5 1/2-point favorites but Bryce Young struggled and the offense couldn't do anything

Down 19 to Jacksonville in the fourth quarter, the Houston Texans rallied behind backup QB Davis Mills. With C.J. Stroud inactive because of a concussion, Mills tossed two TD passes and ran for a score in the final 12:16.

The Texans (4-5) can even their record next week at Tennessee (1-8). The Jaguars (5-4) have lost three of four since defeating the Chiefs.

The Bears trailed the Giants 20-10 when they got the ball at their own 9 with 6:13 left. Caleb Williams tossed a 2-yard TD pass to Rome Odunze. After the defense sacked Russell Wilson twice to force a punt, Williams drove the offense 53 yards and scrambled 17 yards for the go-ahead TD.

Chicago (6-3) has won six of seven since starting 0-2 under first-year coach Ben Johnson. The Bears have a tough schedule upcoming. Only two of their final eight opponents currently have losing records and one of those games is next week on the road against the tough Vikings (4-5).

The Colts needed a rally to beat the Falcons in Germany. Daniel Jones led a drive in the final two minutes to set up Michael Badgley's 44-yard field goal to force overtime. Taylor ended the game on an 8-yard TD run. He had an 83-yard score in the fourth quarter.

Indianapolis (8-2) heads into the bye tied for the best record in the NFL. The Colts face the Chiefs on the road on Nov. 23.

The average margin of victory in the three late-afternoon games was 20 points.

The Rams took a 21-0 lead over San Francisco before the 49ers came back to cut it to 28-20 early in the fourth quarter. Los Angeles then scored on consecutive possessions to put it out of reach.

The 37-year-old Stafford is having the best season of his career, helping the Rams to a 7-2 start. He has 25 TD passes and only two interceptions.

With Lawrence scoring after two strip-sacks by Tyrice Knight, Seattle jumped ahead of Arizona 35-0 and cruised to a 44-22 victory. Sam Darnold only threw 12 passes, completing 10 for 178 yards and one TD. The Seahawks (7-2) dominated the Cardinals again, beating them for the ninth straight time.

Next week, the Rams host the Seahawks in a battle for first place in the NFC West.

Entering this season, a 44-22 score had only occurred once in NFL history. It's happened three times over the past month, including twice in Week 10 as the Lions also beat the Commanders by that score.

Jared Goff had 320 yards passing and three TDs and Jahmyr Gibbs ran for 142 yards and two scores with coach Dan Campbell taking over playcalling duties from offensive coordinator John Morton.

Detroit (6-3) can take over first place in the NFC North if the Packers (5-2-1) lose to the Eagles (6-2) on Monday night.

Statement wins

New England took another step toward going worst to first in the AFC East with an impressive 28-23 victory in Tampa Bay. The Patriots (8-2) beat the Bills 23-20 in Buffalo in Week 5 but racked up six wins against teams with losing records.

Their victory over the Buccaneers completed a sweep of the NFC South, leading first-year coach Mike Vrabel to greet players with a "NFC South champs!" proclamation in the hallway outside the locker room.

Drake Maye withstood pressure and tossed two TD passes, and Henderson ran for 147 yards, including scores from 69 and 55 yards.

The Patriots' next three opponents are 7-21 before a rematch with the Bills in Week 15.

The Chargers delivered a dominant defensive performance in a convincing 25-10 victory over Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night. Los Angeles held Rodgers to 91 yards passing and the Steelers had just 151 total yards before the game was out of reach.

The Chargers (7-3) trail Denver (8-2) by one game in the AFC West and already beat the Broncos and Chiefs (5-4).

The Steelers (5-4) only lead Baltimore (4-5) by one game in the AFC North and will face the Ravens twice in the final five weeks.

'You tried to make me look like a fascist': PSG keeper Chevalier denies far-right support

PARIS (AP) — PSG goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier defended himself on Monday against suggestions he supports the far-right after he appeared to have liked a controversial video on social media.

Chevalier came under heavy criticism and was targeted with insults online by some internet users who spotted over the weekend that he had liked an old video of a former French conservative lawmaker saying that he would rather vote for the far-right National Rally than for the left-wing candidate at an election.

In along message posted on Instagramafter his club won3-2 at Lyonto stay at the top of the Ligue 1 standings on Sunday, Chevalier said he did not share the political views expressed in the video.

"It's depressing to know that while scrolling and accidentally liking a post without even realizing it, you wake up from your nap to get ready for the match and find out that your image has been dragged through the mud from top to bottom for an accidental action. It pisses me off," the PSG goalkeeper wrote. "But it's certain that anyone who knows me knows very well that I'm someone whose parents and family have taught me values and respect, and that I would never allow myself to think such things."

"You tried to make me look like a fascist, and it's not just me you targeted, but my entire family," Chevalier added.

PSG signed Chevalier from Lille this summer on a five-year contract.

Steelers vs. Chargers: Pittsburgh's offense, Aaron Rodgers look washed in Los Angeles' dominant 25-10 victory

The Pittsburgh Steelers' lead in the AFC North is down to one game. Given how poorly they played on Sunday night, it seems impossible that they'll hold off the Baltimore Ravens for much longer. Especially if what we saw Sunday was the start of a rapid descent for Aaron Rodgers.

The Steelers' offense has lacked explosive plays all season and on Sunday night Pittsburgh couldn't even grind out many successful short plays. There was just nothing happening for the offense at all.

The drawbacks of having a quarterback who will turn 42 years old next month were evident. Rodgers hasn't been bad this season, but there's a reason there has been almost no success for quarterbacks of his age, aside from Tom Brady. Rodgers had one of the worst games of his career and the Los Angeles Chargers pulled away for an easy 25-10 win. The worst passer rating for a game in Rodgers' career before Sunday night was 34.3, which he posted in a 2014 loss at the Buffalo Bills. After an interception midway through the fourth quarter he had just 96 yards and a passer rating of 19.5.

Rodgers got a garbage time touchdown to Roman Wilson to make his final numbers look a little better, though they weren't good. He finished 16-of-31 passing for 161 yards, one touchdown, two interceptions and a 50.6 passer rating. At least he avoided a new career low rating.

The Chargers' defense has been playing well and had an excellent game Sunday night. But Pittsburgh's issues played into that. The Steelers did nothing at the trade deadline and that leaves a stale offense that relies heavily on a bunch of passes near the line of scrimmage to tight ends from their past-his-prime quarterback.

It's not a formula that is likely to win a division title.

Steelers struggle to move the ball

The Steelers' defense was fine to start Sunday night's game, but the offense wasn't.

The biggest play of the first half was a mistake from Rodgers. He was under pressure and retreated into his end zone, and by the time he realized his mistake it was too late. Khalil Mack tracked him down and sacked him in the end zone for a safety.

— Los Angeles Chargers (@chargers)November 10, 2025

That play summed up the first half. Rodgers was 7-of-14 passing for 64 yards and an interception. His passer rating was 33. That's uncharacteristic for Rodgers, who is second in NFL history in passer rating. But this isn't the version of Rodgers who won four MVPs.

It got worse in the second half.

Another Rodgers mistake led to the first touchdown of the game. He threw high to DK Metcalf and it was picked off. The Chargers cashed that in with a Ladd McConkey touchdown catch with 12 seconds left in the half.

The Chargers led 12-3 at halftime. They hadn't played well. The Steelers had just played far worse.

It stayed ugly for Steelers in second half

The Steelers' first score of the game was a field goal with 1:44 left in the first quarter. It came after a bad Chargers punt. Pittsburgh gained 5 yards on that drive without getting a first down, and Chris Boswell hit a 59-yard field goal to salvage some points. That was the highlight of the night for Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh got into the red zone early in the fourth quarter after a missed Chargers field goal and a couple of nice plays from running back Jaylen Warren. But Rodgers threw incomplete on three straight downs, including a throw on fourth down to DK Metcalf in the end zone that never had a chance. The Steelers were still stuck on three points.

After that the Chargers put the game away. McConkey had a 58-yard catch on an extremely tight window throw from Justin Herbert, and Kimani Vidal scored on a touchdown run. The Chargers led 22-3 and the Steelers weren't scoring enough to get back in the game.

A mistake after that wasn't Rodgers' fault. His pass bounced off Calvin Austin III's hands and went right to cornerback Donte Jackson. The Steelers' inactivity at the trade deadline, especially at receiver, was evident Sunday.

The Steelers have had some good moments this season. That's a reason they have a winning record and are still in first place of the division. But the flaws are evident. And the Ravens are tracking them down at a rapid pace.

    Touchdown, Steelers

    It's likely come way too late, but the Pittsburgh Steelers have finally found the end zone tonight. Aaron Rodgers just found Wilson open in the middle of the field after a bit of a lapse by the Chargers' defense.

  • Ryan Young

    Chargers add 3 more

    Cameron Dicker made up for his missed field goal there. The Chargers lead 25-3 now after that muffed punt late in the fourth quarter.

  • Ryan Young

    Chargers recover a muffed punt

    The Steelers came up with a quick stop and should have gotten the ball back, but they blew it on the punt. Ke'Shawn Williams tried to call a fair catch, but butchered it and allowed the Chargers to recover in prime position.

  • Ryan Young

    Another Aaron Rodgers INT!

    And there's Aaron Rodgers' second interception of the night. He tried to hit Calvin Austin just now, but the ball bounced off his hands and right into Donte Jackson.

  • Ryan Young

    McConkey breaks open!

    Ladd McConkey just barely caught that ball through Brandin Echols, somehow shook him off and then erupted for a 58-yard gain.

    Kimani Vidal then punched it in a few plays later with a short run. The Chargers are up 22-3 now, and we're just about done here.

  • Ryan Young

    Aaron Rodgers had another ball sail on him there as he tried to avoid the sack on third down. He took a shot at DK Metcalf on fourth down in the red zone, but the Chargers defense came up with a huge stop.

    They'll take over now early in the fourth with their 12-point lead safe.

  • Ryan Young

    Chargers doink

    The Chargers had a short fourth down look there, but they opted to go for a field goal instead. Cameron Dicker, fresh off a 59-yarder just a few minutes ago, doinked it off the left post.

    The Chargers lead 15-3 now with 45 seconds left in the third.

  • Ryan Young

    The Chargers can just about put the game away here with a touchdown after they forced another three-and-out. Aaron Rodgers had a look to DK Metcalf there on third down, and thought they drew a flag, but no dice.

  • Ryan Young

    Cameron Dicker good from 59

    Cam Heyward just deflected another Herbert pass at the line, and Herbert just looked completely defeated in the backfield.

    But Cameron Dicker came out and hit a 59-yard field goal of his own to extend their lead. They're up 15-3 now in the third.

  • Ryan Young

    Jaylen Warren gets UP

    Jaylen Warren just pulled off a wild leap to somehow stay alive there on a short run. He got his jersey ripped quite a bit on the way down, too.

  • Ryan Young

    Alex Highsmith just got to Justin Herbert for a huge sack there on third down, completely stalling out the Chargers' opening drive of the second half. They'll have to punt it away now.

    The Steelers have kicked off, and the second half is officially underway.

  • Ryan Young

    Halftime: Chargers 12, Steelers 3

    After a very slow start, the Chargers hold a nine-point lead at the midway point tonight in Inglewood. They'll get the ball to start the second half, too.

  • Ryan Young

    Touchdown, Chargers

    And just like that, the Chargers are in full control of this game. Justin Herbert just hit Ladd McConkey in the middle of the field for the first touchdown of the night.

    They lead 12-3 now just before half.

  • Ryan Young

    Aaron Rodgers throws an INT!

    RJ Mickens was ready and waiting for that ball. Aaron Rodgers sailed one over DK Metcalf in the middle of the field, and Mickens came up with the easy interception.

  • Ryan Young

    A holding penalty and then a big sack on third down doomed that Chargers drive. Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers will have a shot here to put up points before halftime.
