Nov 2, 2022

TAMPA, Fla. - Nov. 2, 2022 - PRLog -- Pikmykid, the school safety and dismissal platform company, announced today they are teaming up with online clothing subscription-based e-commerce company, KIDPIK to launch #PIKKINDNESS, a movement designed to inspire kids everywhere to always be kind.

Through the #PIKKINDNESS campaign and giveaway, Pikmykid and KIDPIK's members and followers are encouraged to share an act of kindness committed by a child in their life between November 1st and World Kindness Day, November 13th.

At the close of the campaign, Pikmykid and KIDPIK will recognize 10 individuals who have gone above and beyond to spread kindness in their community. Each winner will receive one free KIDPIK fashion box (The approximate retail value for the box is $150), along with items from Pikmykid and will be celebrated on the KIDPIK and Pikmykid blogs and social media channels. Additionally, up to 25 participants will be selected to receive KIDPIK kindness-themed t-shirts. See the official contest rules, here.

KIDPIK is also thrilled to announce the launch of their #PIKKINDNESS-themed shop, featuring fashion items from their collection that promote the message of kindness. The brand will donate approximately 50% of the proceeds from products purchased through the #PIKKINDNESS shop during the month of November to the Be Kind People Project—a charitable organization devoted to promoting kindness in classrooms through evidence-based teaching. In addition, Pikmykid will also donate a percentage of the proceeds towards the Be Kind People Project.

"We're counting on our community to join us in spreading kindness in the classroom and beyond," says Ezra Dabah, CEO of KIDPIK. "Everyone has the power to make a difference, no matter their age. Our goal is to remind kids of the importance of being kind to one another and what a huge impact we can make in other's lives by simply looking out for one another and showing that we care."

"Promoting kindness can go a long way towards making school a safer place for everyone, both physically and emotionally," says Pat Bhava, CEO of Pikmykid. "As teachers and parents share the importance of taking steps to spread kindness, kids learn to take the initiative as well."

How to Participate in the #PIKKINDNESS Campaign:
From November 1 – November 13, adults are encouraged to submit a child, classmate, student or friend's random act of kindness by sharing their story on Instagram tagging @kidpik and @pikmykid, including the hashtag #PIKKINDNESS. Participants can also submit using the form on the official landing page. They'll be automatically entered to win a free KIDPIK fashion box (sizes 2-16).

Warriors extend Stephen Curry deal

Warriors extend Stephen Curry deal

LOS ANGELES — The Golden State Warriors have extended their long-term deal with superstar Stephen Curry for two more years in a deal worth a reported $116 million, the basketball franchise announced. "A true legend of the Bay, here to stay. The Golden State Warriors have signed four-time NBA champion and two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Stephen Curry to a contract extension," the California franchise said on its X account. Sports broadcaster ESPN reported that the Warriors point guard had signed a new two-year contract, with an option for an additional year, worth $116 million. Curry, 38, holds a number of records, including the NBA's all-time record for three-pointers. The player famous for constantly chewing his mouthguard will begin his 18th season at the highest level of world basketball in late October, having spent his entire career with the same team. This summer, the franchise also extended the contract of its other stalwart, Draymond Green, for one season and $28 million, after failing in an attempt to sign LeBron James. Green, 36, has likewise spent his entire career with the Warriors, who selected him in the 2012 draft. In May, coach Steve Kerr signed a new two-year deal with the Warriors. He joined the franchise in 2014 and has since guided them to four NBA championships, in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2022.

Fernandez reaches Singapore Open final

SINGAPORE — Leylah Fernandez reached her first WTA final of the year after the Canadian recovered from a poor start to beat Poland's Maja Chwalinska in the Singapore Tennis Open on Saturday night. The sixth seed dropped the first five games of the semifinal against her fifth-seeded opponent but came back strongly to win 1-6, 6-4, 6-2 to set up a final against unseeded Australian Talia Gibson on Sunday. Gibson advanced to her first WTA final after her semifinal opponent Tatiana Prozorova was forced to withdraw from the tournament due to the WTA's concussion protocol. Fernandez was broken in all four of her service games in the opening set by fellow left-hander Chwalinska. Galvanized by vocal support, the Canadian raised her game in the second set and earned a crucial break to take a 5-4 lead before holding serve to level the match. The world number 31 then broke Chwalinska twice, and set up match point with an ace before firing a powerful backhand down the line to secure victory in two hours and eight minutes. It will be Fernandez's first WTA final since she won last year's Japan Open. The unseeded Prozorova stunned third seed Alexandrea Eala in the round of 16 on Thursday and then beat China's Wang Xinyu in a gruelling three-set quarterfinal the next day. However, the Russian was struck in the face by the ball while playing in the doubles quarterfinals later on Friday. Prozorova had to withdraw from that match and then had to sit out the singles semifinal after the WTA physiotherapist diagnosed her with concussion. The WTA said players diagnosed with concussion cannot compete until they complete a graduated return-to-play protocol and receive medical clearance.

A'ja Wilson wins AP WNBA Player of the Year for 3rd straight year; Angel Reese top defensive player

NEW YORK — A'ja Wilson is in a class by herself, winning the AP's WNBA Player of the Year award for an unprecedented third straight year. Wilson received 15 of the 17 first-place votes from a national media panel Sunday. She topped Olivia Miles of Minnesota as well as Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell of Indiana, who all had stellar seasons. “It’s big. It's an honor for me to do it three times in a row. It’s not easy,” Wilson said in a phone interview. “My counterparts in this league are really good. I don’t take it lightly because of how much talent we do have in this league." It's the fourth time that Wilson has won the AP award, breaking a tie with Breanna Stewart for most since the awards were first given in 2016. “That’s got a nice ring to it,” Wilson said. “That’s pretty cool.” The AP voting is done by a 17-member panel that votes on the power poll each week. It’s the 11th year of the awards. The WNBA will announce its postseason awards over the course of the playoffs, which begin Sunday. Wilson is a huge favorite to win the WNBA MVP for the third straight season. Wilson once again led the league in scoring (26.2) while shooting nearly 53% from the field. She also averaged 9.4 rebounds, a career-best 3.2 assists and 1.9 blocks. Angel Reese dethroned Wilson as the AP Defensive Player of the Year. Wilson had won the award in three of the last four seasons. Reese made the most of her move to Atlanta this offseason. She was third in the league in steals and had the versatility to guard most positions defensively. She also topped the league in rebounds for the third consecutive season. Miles had an incredible first season and was honored as the AP Rookie of the Year as a unanimous choice. The No. 2 pick in the draft by the Lynx averaged 19.8 points, 6.0 assists and 4.7 rebounds to help Minnesota finish with the best record in the league. She set the WNBA record for points by a rookie, surpassing Clark's from 2024. Miles was joined on the AP All-Rookie team by Dallas' Azzi Fudd, Chicago's Sydney Taylor, Seattle's Flau'jae Johnson, New York's Pauline Astier and Toronto's Kiki Rice. Wilson, Clark, Miles and Mitchell headlined the AP All-WNBA first team. They were joined by New York's Stewart. Reese was on the second team along with teammate Rhyne Howard, Dallas' Paige Bueckers, Las Vegas' Jackie Young and Golden State's Gabby Williams. Other AP winners included: — Coach of the Year: Cheryl Reeve. It's the third time the Lynx coach has won the award, also being honored in 2020 and 2024. She guided the team to the No. 1 seed in the playoffs while it was missing superstar Napheesa Collier for the first half of the season when she recovered from offseason surgery on both her ankles. Reeve beat out Golden State's Natalie Nakase and Washington's Sydney Johnson. — Comeback Player of the Year: Clark. The Fever guard missed much of last season with a variety of injuries. She came back strong this year, playing in 40 games. She averaged 22.3 points, 8.3 assists and 4.0 rebounds. Washington's Georgia Amoore and Chicago's Courtney Vandersloot also received votes. — Most Improved Player: Jessica Shepard. The Dallas Wings forward came to the team as a free agent and excelled. Shepard averaged career highs in points (14.5), rebounds (11.1), assists (5.3) and minutes (31.7). Shepard had six triple-doubles this season. Washington's Shakira Austin and Seattle Dominique Malonga were next in the balloting. — Sixth Woman of the Year: Janelle Salaun. The Valkyries forward came off the bench in all 40 games she played this season and averaged 12.7 points and 4.0 rebounds while shooting 39.2% from behind the 3-point line. She led all reserves in scoring this season and the Golden State bench averaged over 36 points a game. Marine Johannes of New York was next in the voting.

Former FIFA vice president Chung Mong-joon makes surprise visit to Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games

Chung Mong-joon, chairman of the Asan Foundation, former president of the Korea Football Association (KFA) and vice president of FIFA from 1994 to 2011, visited Nagoya, Japan, where the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games are underway, to encourage Korea's under-23 national team. He praised the team, saying, "Korean football has been playing very good football lately." Chung made a surprise visit to Nagoya Mizuho Park Rugby Stadium on Friday to watch Korea's second group-stage match against Vietnam in the men's football tournament at the Asian Games. His appearance was unexpected, since he had personally attended the Suwon World Cup Stadium the previous day in Korea for the first match under new Korean national team coach Robert Moreno. Speaking to the Hankook Ilbo shortly after Korea's 4-0 victory over Vietnam, Chung said, "I arrived in Nagoya today," adding, "I have no particular business here other than watching football." Asked to offer a few words of encouragement for Korean football as it begins a new chapter under Moreno, Chung smiled and said, "We have been playing very good football l

S. Korea wins gold in equestrian dressage individual

South Korea's Nam Dong-heon won the gold medal in the individual dressage event at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Sunday, bringing home the country's first Asiad title in the event in 12 years.

Yu Jiayi of China won the silver medal with 75.050 points, while Aleksandra Maksakova of Palestine took bronze with 74.935 points. Sunday's gold medal marked South Korea's first title in the individual dressage event since the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon. Nam also won a silver medal in the team dressage event Friday. South Korea had swept the individual dressage gold medal from the 2002 Asian Games through 2014, with the winning streak ending in 2018. At the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, the country failed to win any medal for the first time since the event was first contested in 1986. Dressage is a form of horse riding performed in exhibition and competition, with riders executing memorized sequences and directing their horses to perform the requested movements.

North Korea’s Ri Won-ju claimed the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games men’s 70-kilogram weightlifting title on Saturday, showcasing overwhelming strength in the clean and jerk. With the country struggling in gymnastics, canoeing and other events, all five of its gold medals so far have come from weightlifting.

Ri finished second in the snatch after failing to lift 146kg in his first attempt before successfully lifting 146kg in his second and 151kg in his third, trailing Japan’s Masanori Miyamoto, who lifted 154kg. However, Ri staged a decisive comeback in his specialty, the clean and jerk. After easily lifting 187kg in his first attempt put himself in position for gold, Ri lifted 192kg in his second attempt and then hoisted 198kg in his third, leaving his rivals unable to catch up.

[Asian Games] S. Korea wins gold in men's street skateboarding at Asian Games

South Korea's 17-year-old skateboarder Kang Jun-i won the gold medal in the men's street event at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Sunday, becoming the first South Korean to win an Asiad title in skateboarding. Kang scored 180.85 points in the event's final at Aichi Sky Expo in Tokoname, some 35 kilometers south of the main host city of Nagoya, Japan. He edged out two Japanese skateboarders, Toa Sasaki and Ginwoo Onodera, who earned 172.35 and 168.11, respectively. Skateboarding made its Asian Games debut in 2018. Skateboarding involves riders performing tricks, with competitors judged on the difficulty, execution and originality of their tricks. Athletes compete in two disciplines: street, where they perform tricks on a course featuring stairs, rails and other obstacles, and park, where they compete on a course with complex shapes and transitions. In the run section, where skaters perform a series of tricks using obstacles on the course, Kang scored 88.45 points on his third attempt. In the trick section, where skaters perform individual tricks to showcase their skills, Kang failed to compl

S. Korea picks up silver, bronze in synchronized diving events

Kim Su-ji and Kim Na-hyun teamed up for silver in the women's synchronized 3-meter springboard diving event at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Sunday, South Korea's best performance in this event since 2002. The two divers scored 254.70 points in their five attempts at Tokyo Aquatics Centre in Tokyo, finishing well behind China's Chen Yiwen and Chen Jia, who earned 328.56 points. Ker Ying Ong and Yiat Qing Lee of Malaysia got the bronze with 243.72 points. The women's synchronized 3m event was added to the Asian Games in 2002 in the South Korean host city of Busan, and China has won every gold medal since. This was Chen Yiwen's second straight gold. In that inaugural year, the host country's Kang Min-kyung and Im Sung-young won silver. South Korea was shut out of medals over the next four editions of the Asian Games before Kim Su-ji won bronze with a different partner, Park Ha-reum, in 2023. Kim Na-hyun has now bagged two medals in her Asian Games debut here, after winning bronze with Moon Na-hyun in the women's synchronized 10m platform event Saturday.

S. Korea blows big lead to settle for silver in men's epee fencing team event

South Korea squandered a big lead and settled for silver in the men's epee fencing team event at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Sunday. The team of Park Sang-young, Jang Hyo-min, Nam Yeon-ho and substitute Kwon O-min lost to Kazakhstan's Kirill Prokhodov, Ruslan Kurbanov, Vadim Sharlaimov and Yerlik Sertay by 43-42 at Aichi Sky Expo in Tokoname, south of the main host city, Nagoya. None of the three South Korean fencers came close to medal contention in the individual event, but they joined forces for South Korea's 12th consecutive men's epee team medal. Team fencing events are contested in nine head-to-head bouts. Each bout is three minutes long, but it ends when one team's score reaches a multiple of five. A team scoring 45 points first or having more points than the opponent at the end of the ninth bout wins the event. Park and Prokhodov each scored three points in the opening bout, and then Jang outscored Kurbanov 3-1 in the next bout for a 6-4 South Korean lead. The advantage grew to 12-9 when Nam won his bout against Sharlaimov. Park then blew the match wide open by outscoring Serta

S. Korea gets revenge on Japan, wins Asiad handball gold

After losing 29-19 to Japan in the women's handball final at the Hangzhou Asian Games in 2023, South Korean players had been waiting for a chance to avenge that defeat over the past three years. Three years later, at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, the two countries met again in the gold medal match on Sunday. South Korea beat Japan 27-23 in the sixth and final round of the women's handball competition to win the gold medal for the first time since 2018. "The loss made our hearts bleed three years ago, but this victory made us extremely happy," said goalkeeper Park Sae-young, who made 12 saves during the match. "We will take on Japan in future competitions, such as the Olympics, and we will keep working to win again." The women's handball competition at this year's Asiad did not feature a knockout stage. Instead, all seven teams played each other once, with medals awarded based on their final round-robin standings. Before Sunday's match, South Korea and Japan were the only undefeated teams, with five wins apiece, and the gold medal winner was decided in their sixth and final group round matc

S. Korea captures gold in women's sabre fencing team event

South Korea struck gold in the women's sabre fencing team event at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Sunday, delivering the country's fourth fencing title on the sport's last day here.

None of the South Korean fencers won an individual medal earlier in the competition but won the team title together. Choi was on the 2023 Asian Games team that won bronze behind Uzbekistan and Japan. South Korea finished fencing with four gold medals, four silver medals and two bronze medals. Team fencing events are contested in nine head-to-head bouts. Each bout is three minutes long, but it ends when one team's score reaches a multiple of five.
