[description] => Briton insists that winning gold at world championships will be the easiest thing he has done in the last six weeksAs Josh Kerr prepares for a men’s 1500m with more intrigue and mystery than a Seicho Matsumoto novel, he wants to make one thing clear. He is, without any doubt in his mind, the man to beat at these world championships.Kerr knows that everyone is bigging up Niels Laros, the staggeringly talented 20-year-old from the Netherlands who won the Diamond League final, and the 18-year-old Kenyan Phanuel Koech, who thumped him in London. Cole Hocker, the American who pipped him in an Olympic final for the ages, is one of many other dangers too. But as he prepares for Saturday’s heats, there is no mistaking Kerr’s supreme confidence.

Both athletes had previously won world championship medals.The 21-year-old Knighton, who won a world championship bronze over 200m in 2022 and silver in 2023, had blamed his failed drugs test last year on contaminated oxtail imported from abroad. However on Friday the court of arbitration for sport rejected Knighton’s defence. A press release said: “There is no proof that would support the conclusion that oxtail imported into the USA would be likely to contain trenbolone residues at the level required to have caused the athlete’s adverse analytical finding.” Continue reading...

[description] => (Alpha)Spunicunifait (their name taken from a nonsense word used by Mozart) perform these six quintets with flexibility and easy athleticismFormed by string players from some of Europe’s leading orchestras and ensembles specifically to give historically informed performances of Mozart’s string quintets, Spunicunifait takes its name from a nonsense word used by Mozart in one of his letters, the meaning of which remains a mystery. “We wanted to make a recording that would approach the quintets with the same reverence that [Mozart’s] quartets receive,” they say, and that approach results in performances of the six works that have transparency, flexibility and easy athleticism.

Thomas, who won the 200m in Paris and was on the 4x100m and 4x400m gold-medal relay teams, said she exacerbated the injury in July.“I understand that it will be disappointing for some track fans to hear this news, but I’ve finally come to the realization that it’s OK to be human and take care of myself,” Thomas said in a press release on Tuesday. “As an athlete you always want to keep grinding, but sometimes you simply can’t outwork an injury.

[description] => Consuming protein within an hour of finishing your gym session is recommended, but don’t neglect regular meals‘This is one of those rare bits of TikTok fitness advice with a lot of truth behind it,” says Bethan Crouse, performance nutritionist at Loughborough University. “Sometimes it’s taken a bit too literally, though! You see people chugging protein drinks as they’re scanning out of their gym.”Crouse recommends the athletes she works with consume 20-30g of protein within 30-60 minutes of finishing a resistance training session. “The act of exercising our muscles increases the breakdown of muscle proteins,” she says. “In order to restore, or hopefully improve them – and get gains such as increased muscle mass or strength – we have to consume amino acids in protein.” Continue reading...
