    NZ Breakers looking at Australian base for new season

    The New Zealand Breakers may have to follow the lead of the Wellington Phoenix football team and rugby league's NZ Warriors by basing themselves in Australia for the next National Basketball League (NBL) season. The four-time NBL champions are based in Auckland and regularly commute across the Tasman Sea for away games in the Australia-based competition. Breakers' owner Matt Walsh said on Wednesday it was a "50-50" prospect his team would relocate for the new season, which starts on Dec. 3, with Australia imposing another round of COVID-19 restrictions.

    1956 Melbourne Olympics: 1st Games in southern hemisphere

The Soviet Union's invasion of Hungary, where hundreds of Hungarians were killed and thousands arrested, was responsible for one of the most unforgettable episodes of the games - the ''Blood in the Water'' water polo match between Hungary and the Soviets. Late in the match, Ervin Zador, who had scored two goals for Hungary, was hit by a Soviet player and climbed out of the pool with blood streaming from his head.
