[description] => Updates and news on the fourth day of action from TokyoDuplantis hits new heights with 14th WR | Email DanielMondo isn’t just great at pole vaulting – he’s also a neologian, saying that after breaking the world record again, he was “super-overwhelmed”. File above “over-exaggerate”.Now it’s on to Faith, perhaps the greatest all-round athlete on the planet – she’s hoping to do the 1500m and 5000m double here, and her own world record in the former, set earlier this year, is also under threat tonight.

[description] => Athletic Club’s goalkeeper on hosting Arsenal in the Champions League and the magic of San Mamés“Sometimes you need some luck; that was mine,” Unai Simón says. “What I thought might happen in five, six, seven years happened in 19 days.”It was August 2018, Simón was 21 and although he had been training at Athletic Club for a decade, and with the first team for three years, the son of police officers from Vitoria didn’t think there was a chance of playing in Bilbao any time soon, if at all. It was all he wanted but he didn’t even live there any more, moving 800km in search of an opportunity with second division Elche. Which is when weird things started to happen. Continue reading...

[description] => Swede clears 6.30m to claim worlds gold in TokyoShoes with metal spike help him to faster run-upThe pole vault competition was two hours and 20 minutes old when Mondo Duplantis finally got serious at these World Athletics Championships. The bar had just been pushed six metres. And so Mondo reached into his kitbag and dug out the shoe he calls “the Claw”.It is a special shoe, with a spike protruding from the end of it, which he only takes it out when he sniffs a world record lurking in the air.

[description] => He says his generation ‘just more talented’ than today’sLegendary sprinter no longer runs and is ‘into Lego now’Usain Bolt made his comeback to the world of track and field on Sunday night and, for a moment, it was like the good old days. There was his trademark To Da World pose before the 100m finals. The cheers and adulation of 60,000 fans in Tokyo’s National Stadium. A reminder of glories past.The Jamaican had not watched athletics at all since retiring in 2017 until watching Melissa Jefferson-Wooden and Oblique Seville win gold. And, as he also admitted, he now spends his time streaming movies and building Lego, and even gets out of breath when he walks up stairs. Continue reading...
