In damp conditions, Kejelcha, who also owns the world record for the indoor mile, established in Boston in 2019, finished in 57 minutes and 30 seconds in the Spanish capital. The 27-year-old’s time was one second faster than the mark set three years ago in Lisbon by Ugandan Jacob Kiplimo.

After settling in behind the pacemakers from the beginning of his sixth half marathon, Kejelcha made his move around the three-kilometer mark and eventually overtook Kenyans Daniel Mateiko and…
The Lions’ recent victory, as impressive as it was, shouldn’t lead to complacency about their defensive capabilities. Despite the convincing win, underlying issues may still exist. Detroit’s standout performance shouldn’t obscure the fact that their defense requires continued improvement. It’s crucial the Lions remain vigilant and address lingering vulnerabilities. While the Lions’ win is a positive step, it’s essential to maintain perspective and recognize that one game doesn’t necessarily indicate a fully resolved defense. Ongoing evaluation and refinement are necessary to ensure sustained success. The Lions’ decisive victory was fueled by strong special teams and offense, which built an…

After his performance against Liverpool, Alan Shearer complimented a superb Arsenal player and stated that the team couldn’t afford to lose him. Arsenal star Bukayo Saka’s impressive performance in the 2-2 draw with Liverpool, according to Alan Shearer, highlights how much the squad has missed the winger.

But Saka’s Sunday comeback to the starting lineup gave Arsenal a much-needed boost in their pursuit of the Premier League title. The 23-year-old made an instant impression by finishing strong past…
LOS ANGELES About 27 years ago, George Steinbrenner, upset over the World Series defeat the night before, strode into Yankee Stadium’s home clubhouse and told his manager that the next nine innings were a “must-win game.” Without flinching, Joe Torre told an unconvinced Boss that he believed they might lose that night as well. Then, in his first season as the Yankees’ captain, Torre had doubts about his team’s chances against Greg Maddux, the opposition ace, who would undoubtedly put on an outstanding performance. However, Torre assured Steinbrenner that there was “nothing to worry about” and that they could still…
Despite hearing that they had left injured prop Frans Malherbe back in South Africa, the Springboks arrived in Jersey on Monday in a positive mood and eager to begin getting ready for their end-of-year visit to the UK. Before leaving for Scotland for their first Test of the November internationals, they will spend a week at a training camp on the Channel Island between England and France.

The ’50:50′ call made by referee Anthony Taylor cost Arsenal the victory over Liverpool, according to former Premier League official Mike Dean, but he should not be held accountable for it. With goals from Mikel Merino and Bukayo Saka at halftime, followed by a header from Virgil van Dijk, Arsenal had established a solid advantage against their fellow championship contenders. But as the match went on, Mikel Arteta witnessed an increasing number of injuries decimate his ranks. William Saliba, who was suspended, was already absent from the defence, and Martin Odegaard and other players were still recovering. Jurrien Timber and…
Xavi Hernandez is one of the early candidates mentioned for the vacant Manchester United managerial position after Erik ten Hag was dismissed on Monday, potentially influenced by a photo of his son in a shirt. The Red Devils have had a rough season under Ten Hag, winning only four out of 14 matches. However, with someone already in charge, could United already have the solution in front of them?
The New York Jets had big plans going into this season. Fans dared to hope for a postseason run that had eluded them for so long after Aaron Rodgers was brought in as the franchise’s saviour and the roster was redesigned. However, rather of reaching new heights, the squad ends up on an old and gloomy route. A devastating 25–22 loss to the faltering New England Patriots, whom many thought the Jets would easily win, was the most recent setback. The fact that they lost to a team with backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett after starter Drake Maye was sidelined by…
