The AP photographers were on hand to capture the biggest sports stories happening around the world. Other memorable photos included Marseille’s Quentin Merlin flipping over Paris Saint-Germain’s Achraf Hakimi in a French league soccer match and a potential NFL receiver, Gregory Clayton Jr., performing a broad jump during LSU’s pro day in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. These images highlight the diversity and excitement of the sports world, as well as the dedication and skill of the athletes involved.
