Even the Russian judge would give Lindsey Vonn a perfect 10 for this split decision on the beach.

The skiing champ got in an acrobatic training sesh Friday in Santa Monica. She's recovering from a knee fracture suffered earlier this year, and from this angle ... everything's a-ok.

Listen carefully, you can almost hear LV's abs whispering -- "You messed up, Tiger. Big time!"

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft just unloaded on the NFL -- claiming its treatment of Tom Brady has been horrible, unjust and unfair.

Kraft just issued a statement blasting Tom's upcoming 4-game suspension for his role in Deflategate.

"The penalty imposed by the NFL was unprecedented, unjust and unreasonable, especially given that no empirical or direct evidence of any kind showed Tom did anything to violate League rules prior to, during or after the 2015 AFC Championship Game."

He added, "I am most frustrated that Tom was denied his right to a fair and impartial process."

Kraft also took another shot at the investigation -- calling it "flawed and biased from the start" and noting it "has been discredited nearly unanimously by accredited academics and scientists. "

"What Tom has had to endure throughout this 18-month ordeal has been, in my opinion, as far removed from due process as you could ever expect in this country."

"From day one, I have believed in Tom and given him my unwavering support in his pursuit to rightfully clear his name of any wrongdoing. That support extends throughout our organization and has only grown more steadfast as the preponderance of scientific evidence has exonerated Tom. Unfortunately, this stopped being about air pressure a long time ago."

"This entire process has indelibly taken a toll on our organization, our fans and most importantly, Tom Brady."

"His reluctant decision to stop pursuing further action and to put this situation behind him is what he feels is best for the team in preparation for this season and is fully supported by me and our entire organization."

Ronda Rousey just shared some very interesting advice she got from her mom -- "Winning is a bitch. But revenge is a motherf*****."

Ronda was speaking at the Women in Action female empowerment event in Chicago earlier Friday -- when she talked about advice she got from her athlete mom about bouncing back after a loss.

The crowd went wild for Rousey -- who was pretty pumped up!

Does this mean she wants another crack at Holly Holm?

She also said, "I want to win my belt back."

Peyton Manning said it would happen ... and now it's official -- Von Miller has signed a new deal with the Broncos and says he'll bleed orange and blue for life.

The Super Bowl hero reportedly agreed to a 6-year $114 million contract with $70 MILLION guaranteed in the first 2 years.

Miller went to Instagram to celebrate -- posting a pic with a caption that read, "FOR LIFE."

Congrats!

It's over. Finally.

Tom Brady has announced he's ending his Deflategate fight ... saying, "I have made the difficult decision to no longer proceed with the legal process."

More freakish displays of athleticism from Odell Beckham Jr.

The NY Giants superstar visited FC Bayern Munich practice in Germany Friday morning ... and put his impressive soccer skills on display with stars Xabi Alonso and David Alaba.

OBJ played soccer as a kid ... and was so good, he claims he could've gone pro if he didn't give up the game to pursue other sports.

Kendall Jenner got sky-high with a bunch of celebs and athletes ... 1,000 ft above downtown Los Angeles.

Travis Scott performed, and everyone got a chance to try the outdoor Skyslide between the 69th and 70th floors ... including Kendall. Wheeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Here's a cool clip of WWE superstar The Miz ... talking about how The Rock is a genuinely good dude.

It started out as a conversation about Rock's hypothetical 2020 presidential run -- but turns into a genuine moment when Miz told us how the wrestler/movie star treats his friends behind closed doors.

Here's the official music video for Katy Perry's new song "Rise" -- which NBC will use as an anthem during the 2016 Olympics coverage.

"This is a song that's been brewing inside me for years, that has finally come to the surface," Perry said.

"I was inspired to finish it now, rather than save it for my next album, because now more than ever, there is a need for our world to unite. I know that together we can rise above the fear -- in our country, and around the world."

Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Dan Skuta will NOT be prosecuted for allegedly attacking a woman outside of a Florida bar last month ... TMZ Sports has learned.

As we previously reported, Skuta was arrested around 2 AM on June 19th after a woman claimed the NFL player pushed her into a glass window after she turned down his advances.

30-year-old Skuta adamantly denied the allegations -- claiming he was with his girlfriend during the entire incident and the woman struck HIM after verbally harassing the NFL player and his friends.

TMZ Sports has learned ... officials investigated the incident and determined there just wasn't enough evidence to prove Skuta committed a crime -- so the State Attorney in FL decided to drop the case.

8:10 AM PT -- We spoke with Skuta's attorney, Mark NeJame, who tells us, they are not surprised by the move ... because Skuta is 100% innocent.

"As we stated on June 27th, Dan Skuta was arrested for something that simply did not happen. After voluntary cooperation from Mr. Skuta and a thorough review of the case by the State Attorney’s office, a review of the info that was provided to them, they’ve informed us that they are not going to proceed with the prosecution of any charges against Mr. Skuta."

NeJame added, "The individual who made the complaint had serious character and credibility issues. Not one independent witness corroborated her testimony."

"Alternatively, we were able to provide multiple witnesses who confirmed that Mr. Skuta was attacked by this obnoxious individual and he simply turned away and walked off after he was hit so that the situation wouldn't escalate. He acted in mature, appropriate and sensible after being struck."

Ray Rice knows the clock is ticking on his NFL comeback ... but says if the window closes, he's ready to move on.

Rice hasn't played a down in the NFL since 2013 -- after the ex-Baltimore Ravens running back attacked his then-fiancee in an elevator in an Atlantic City casino.

The 29-year-old has been training like a maniac in the hopes of getting a second chance -- but no teams have pulled trigger ... and Rice knows his comeback chances get worse every day.

"I know that the window for playing is closing," Rice told NJ Advance Media ... "But if my window closes, I'm going to make sure I open up a thousand more opportunities for kids, to give them an opportunity to pick up where I left off."

Rice says he's still training -- "but I'm more training for life."

"I think it's safe to say that football ... I don't want to ever say I'm giving up, because that's never going to be me ... I'm happy."

"I'm in the best shape of my life, and I know if it doesn't happen this year, it's probably something I have to deal with. But you know what? It's not the end of my life."

We got video of Rice training last year -- he still looks like he's in pretty good shape.

French soccer superstar Patrice Evra was in L.A. during the horrific terror attack in Nice Thursday ... but tells TMZ Sports he's crushed over the situation ... and sad for the future.

The 35-year-old -- who just played with France during the 2016 Euro Cup -- was leaving Mr Chow in Beverly Hills last night ... when he got emotional about the incident.

"We're really sad," Evra said ... "We have to stop."

Evra says he also realizes there will likely be more terrible days like this time to come -- "The future is no good. It's not looking good at all. That's why it's a sad day."

He left with one final message ... "We're all son of god."

Kobe Bryant is probably still cleaning the liquid gold out of his ears this morning ... after getting DOUSED in gold slime last night at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Sports Awards!

He knew it was coming ... and now Kevin Durant must face the wrath of a scorned Kristin Chenoweth -- the huuuge OKC Thunder fan who threatened to kick his ass if he left the team.

Sorry, Trump ... Tim Tebow will NOT be joining Dana White as a celebrity guest speaker at the Republican National Convention next week ... calling the whole thing a silly "rumor."

FYI, Tebow's name was on a roster of RNC speakers obtained by the New York Times -- a roster that included Dana White (who confirmed he is speaking) but the QB made a video saying the whole thing is BS.

"It's amazing how fast rumors fly ... and that's exactly what it is ... a rumor."

Tebow then says he has no plans to run for a political office ... at the moment ... but doesn't close the door on plans to get in the game somewhere down the line.

In fact, the rest of his video sounds like a political speech!!!

Lakers guards are turning over women like they do basketballs ... first Nick and Iggy, now D'Angelo Russell is on the market ... after a breakup with his superstar college athlete GF Niki Withers.

The couple scrubbed each other off all social media -- a telltale sign of trouble in paradise -- and sources close to the situation confirmed the two are, in fact, dunzo.

"D'Angelo and Niki talked about where the relationship was going and decided mutually to break up," one source tells us.

Unlike Nick & Iggy there's no bad blood between the two ... we're told the breakup was simply a case of two youngsters growing apart.

The relationship endured some tough times ... with Niki standing by DR when his infamous video of Swaggy made him the number one bro code violator in the history of sports.

Question is, now that both men are single ... might it be time to reignite the friendship over a few thots?
