Sunseri Pardon Makes the News In Germany

Jan Göbel for Der Spiegel, one of Germany’s most important news magazines (auto-translated and sadly behind paywall):

The US trail runner Michelino Sunseri has run a record in the Rocky Mountains. But he used a forbidden path. The justice system convicted him. Then the US president intervened personally.

Does an article like this get’s filed in ‘politics’, ‘sport’ or ‘peculiar news from around the world’?

Also: what a random hero photo to be added to the article.
