Kipyegon runs final 300m in 44 seconds to set recordChebet is first woman to run 5,000m inside 14 minutesFaith Kipyegon bounced back in spectacular style from the disappointment of failing to run a four-minute mile in Paris by shattering her 1500m world record in Eugene.On a day where the women’s 5,000m world record also fell in the 50th running of the Prefontaine Classic, the 31-year-old Kenyan looked to be odds against to break her record at the bell. Yet Kipyegon was able to find an extra gear as she ran the last 300m in a staggering 44 seconds to break her previous world record by 0.36 sec. Continue reading...

66 m. ago Ruthless France take advantage of Wiegman’s gamble on Lauren James | Nick Ames

Decision to play Chelsea forward left England outnumbered in midfield during damaging opening defeat at Euro 2025 The hour mark was approaching when Sarina Wiegman rolled the dice or, perhaps more accurately, reached for the comfort blanket. A salvage operation of this scale had not been part of anyone’s masterplan, but at least Ella Toone and Chloe Kelly knew exactly how to move the dial at a European Championship. They were the history makers at Wembley in England’s most recent appearance on this stage; if it was going to be anyone, it surely had to be them.There were to be no heroics this time, even if Selma Bacha’s late clearance was ultimately all that came between Wiegman’s players and a draw. That statement is, in itself, illusory because the manager must face questions about her selection here. She had plumped for Lauren James’s explosive gifts in the No 10 position, sticking to the claim that the Chelsea forward was ready to ramp up her recovery from injury, but the call ba...

Moore pulls off audacious move to beat OmbudsmanMurphy goes winless after drink-driving convictionIt was a frustrating and winless return to action for Oisin Murphy after a drink-driving conviction two days ago. The reigning champion jockey on the Flat and four more of the best riders in the business were confounded by the split-second brilliance of Ryan Moore aboard Delacroix, the 3-1 second-favourite, in the Group One Eclipse Stakes.Moore said afterwards that he had flipped through four different plans in the course of the 10-furlong Eclipse, and Delacroix was last and trading at three-figure odds in running as Camille Pissarro, a stable companion of Delacroix at the Aidan O’Brien yard, cruised past on his outside, keeping Moore in a pocket as he did so.

8 h. ago Max Verstappen snatches F1 British GP pole for Red Bull from McLarens

World champion fastest by a 10th from Piastri and NorrisRussell fourth for Mercedes, Hamilton fifth for FerrariMax Verstappen claimed pole for the British Grand Prix for Red Bull, a blistering run beating the McLarens of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris into second and third. Mercedes’s George Russell was fourth, with Lewis Hamilton very much in the mix, taking fifth for Ferrari.The pole was somewhat against odds for Verstappen, who absolutely wrung the neck of the Red Bull to beat a very strong assault from both McLaren and an improved Ferrari. The world champion has not been particularly happy with his car all weekend, having struggled with its balance all season. With the team using a trimmed back low-downforce configuration at Silverstone, it required every bit of his considerable skill to wrangle across the old airfield. As he has demonstrated previously this season, sometimes he can be the ultimate differentiator. Continue reading...
