Bronzový olympijský medailista z Tokia Choupenitch se prosadil do první desítky stejně jako začátkem května na Světovém poháru ve Vancouveru. V této sezoně už jednatřicetiletý rodák z Brna získal na velkých turnajích čtyři medaile. Na Světovém poháru v Tunisu a Paříži byl třetí, v Káhiře druhý a stříbrný skončil i na Grand Prix v Turíně.
V Šanghaji, kde skončil loni sedmý a před deseti lety byl ve finále, začal dnes Choupenitch vítězstvím nad osmnáctiletým Číňanem Lju Wej-čchiaem 15:11. Poté porazil stejným poměrem Korejce Jon Čong-hjona.
Ve třetím duelu ho zastavil Olivares, který pak ve čtvrtfinále prohrál jednoznačně 5:15 s předloňským mistrem světa Italem Tommasem Marinim.

Coach Prime’s Favorite? Deion Sanders forgets about Shedeur, Shilo, Deion Jr. and calls Travis Hunter his ‘son’
Deion Sanders has been a crucial part of Travis Hunter's collegiate career and the love Coach Prime has shown for him might make Hunter his favorite player he's ever coached. In the last season, Hunter delivered a historic performance, recording 92 receptions for 1,152 yards and 14 touchdowns on offense. Defensively, he recorded 32 tackles, 11 pass breakups, and 4 interceptions, showcasing his exceptional two-way capabilities. His outstanding performance earned him the Heisman Trophy, making him, clearly, a favorite of Coach Prime. Travis was the No. 1 rated recruit in the country and made the unprecedented decision to snub offers from blue-chip programs in favor of an HBCU. Deion Sanders lured him to Jackson State, creating a relationship that transcends the typical player-coach dynamic. Hunter trusted Sanders to guide his career and followed him to Colorado. After winning the Heisman […]

Für Trainer Friedhelm Funkel ist es der siebte Aufstieg in die Bundesliga.Vor dem Spiel war die Rechnung einfach: Ein Punkt würde reichen. Doch Funkel und sein Team wollten mehr. „Wir spüren überhaupt keinen Druck“, sagte er bei „Sky“. Und er behielt Recht. Schon nach 14 Minuten köpfte Eric Martel die Kölner in Führung.

José Alvarado suspension: Nine trade candidates Phillies could target to replace closer after PED violation
Imagn Images The Philadelphia Phillies will be without one of their best relievers for most of the regular season and all of the playoffs. On Sunday, MLB announced that veteran left-hander José Alvarado had been suspended for 80 games after he failed a performance-enhancing drug test. (MLB's statement on the matter says he tested positive for exogenous testosterone.)Alvarado, soon to turn 30, had pitched to a 2.70 ERA (159 ERA+) and a 6.25 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 20 appearances. He had saved seven games, including in his most recent appearance against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday. For his career, he's in possession of a 123 ERA+.Even with Alvarado, the Phillies' bullpen ranked 24th in the majors in ERA. Without him, it's fair to assume that executives Dave Dombrowski and Sam Fuld will get to work on identifying who, precisely, they can […]
