Esta noticia no debería ser noticia. O al menos no debería ser noticia en el sentido que es noticia. Porque que un deportista de élite presente a su pareja es algo de lo más normal… salvo que esa persona sea del mismo sexo. Es el caso del atleta estadounidense Yared Nuguse, bronce en la fantástica final de 1.500 metros de los Juegos de París, esa carrera en la que su compatriota Cole Hocker sorprendió a los dos grandes favoritos al oro, el noruego Jakob Ingebrigtsen, que defendía el oro de Tokio, el británico Josh Kerr, oro mundial en Budapest un año antes.
Nuguse es una de las grandes estrellas del revitalizado mediofondo americano. De padres etíopes aunque nacido ya en Estados Unidos, es además compañero de entrenamiento y gran amigo del español Mario García Romo en el prestigioso ON Athletics Club.

En la reciente temporada de pista cubierta, el también plata mundial indoor en los 3.000 metros de Glasgow 2024 había batido el récord del mundo de la milla en Nueva York con un registro de 3:46.63, pero la marca apenas encabezó cinco días el ranking de todos los tiempos por culpa del voraz apetito de Ingebrigtsen.
Hablamos por tanto de una de las grandes figuras del atletismo mundial y es así donde radica la importancia de su anuncio porque no es nada habitual que los deportistas de élite, sobre todo en el caso de los hombres, revelen su condición de homosexuales.

Nuguse, como no debería ser de otro modo, lo ha hecho con absoluta normalidad, subiendo una serie de fotos en su cuenta de Instagram en las que aparece junto a su pareja. “Les presento a mi novio, Julian. ¡No puedo creer que ya llevamos un año enamorados! (No te hagas el sorprendido)”, escribe el estadounidense en un publicación que ha recibido multitud de comentarios laudatorios.
Entre ellos, los del propio Ingebrigtsen y Mario García Romo, que le han felicitado con un corazón. También lo ha hecho Grand Slam Track, el nuevo circuito atlético que dirige el mítico Michael Johnson -se estrena el 4 de abril en el Independence Park de Kingston (Jamaica)- y del que Nuguse forma parte.
En España, el caso más conocido es el del marchador Marc Tur, cuarto en los 50 km marcha de Tokio 2020, que se ha convertido en todo un icono y portavoz del movimiento LGTBI tras revelar su homosexualidad.

Brasileiro feminino: Expansão do campeonato nos próximos anos pode impactar qualidade na elite
Em 2027, o futebol feminino estará em destaque no Brasil. Além de sediar a Copa do Mundo, o país terá a primeira edição do Brasileirão A1 com 20 clubes, quatro a mais do que atualmente. O anúncio da expansão do campeonato, feito em janeiro, levanta a dúvida: a infraestrutura e a qualidade técnica dos times vão acompanhar esse crescimento? Nas seis primeiras rodadas da edição em disputa, foram marcados 158 gols, média de 3,3 por partida — no Brasileiro masculino, por exemplo, a média no mesmo período é de 2,3. O número expõe o abismo entre as equipes que brigam pelo título e aquelas que lutam contra o rebaixamento: já são seis jogos, 10% do total, com vitórias por quatro ou mais gols de diferença. Mas a frequência de goleadas vem diminuindo: caiu de 22,5% em 2019 para 12,5% em […]
In winning time, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was at his best in Thunder’s sweep of Grizzlies
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Before breaking through in the Oklahoma City Thunder’s series-clinching 117-115 Game 4 win over the Memphis Grizzlies, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had scored 73 points on 68 shots in the first three contests. His 35 percent shooting ranked last among 10 Thunder players who had appeared in every game — not exactly a stat anyone would have predicted entering the series.AdvertisementBut in winning time Saturday, the Thunder star and MVP finalist was at his best.Gilgeous-Alexander scored a game-high 38 points to lead the Thunder to a series sweep and a second-round date with the winner between the LA Clippers and Denver Nuggets. Whichever team emerges will have to contend with a well-rested Thunder squad whose best player might have just hit his stride.It’s not that Gilgeous-Alexander, or anyone with the Thunder, ever worried about his uncharacteristic inefficiency. But what […]
Grizzlies must consider Ja Morant’s future and everything else after sweep
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — During his six-year tenure as general manager of the Memphis Grizzlies, Zach Kleiman has usually gone out of his way to avoid the spotlight.Despite being the architect of a team that’s won at least 48 games in three of the last four seasons, few NBA fans could identify his face in a lineup. He’s likely happy with that.AdvertisementHe went against his usual tendencies earlier this season when he released a public statement that made waves throughout the league. Though his intent was to quiet the noise in Memphis, Kleiman may have unknowingly given an early glimpse into the unease behind the scenes that led to the Grizzlies’ shocking late-season collapse and yet another early exit from the playoffs.All of this culminated in Memphis falling short again in a 117-115 loss in Game 4 against the Oklahoma City […]
LIV Golf Mexico City: Ripper GC pulls ahead of Crushers GC after Round 2
<!--> MEXICO CITY – Crushers GC Captain Bryson DeChambeau is arguably golf's biggest hitter. Ripper GC Captain Cameron Smith is arguably the sport's best putter. On Sunday at LIV Golf Mexico City, they'll face off for the first time in the final group of a LIV Golf final round.DeChambeau, thanks to a birdie at the par-3 18th Saturday, grabbed a one-shot lead over Smith. Both shot matching 5-under 66s while playing together during Saturday's second round, a precursor to what promises to be a dramatic and entertaining finish at Club de Golf Chapultepec.And if that wasn't enough, the third member of the final threesome is Torque GC Captain Joaquin Niemann, the current season-long points leader. Niemann is three shots off the lead and tied for the low round of the day Saturday with a 7-under 64.ADVERTISEMENT -->"Hopefully Bryson and I […]
Arkansas NIL collective calls on prominent lawyer to enforce Madden Iamaleava buyout clause amid transfer
247Sports FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas' name, image and likeness collective has hired an attorney to pursue and enforce a buyout clause in former quarterback Madden Iamaleava's agreement, CBS Sports has learned.In an unprecedented move in the NIL era of college sports, the parent company overseeing the Arkansas Edge collective has hired noted sports attorney Tom Mars to enforce buyout provisions in NIL contracts at Arkansas, Blueprint Sports CEO Rob Sine confirmed Saturday to CBS Sports. The collective is following the orders of Arkansas athletics director Hunter Yurachek, who directed the collective to pursue buyout money in contracts broken by players in an insistent statement released Tuesday, just two hours after Iamaleava entered the transfer portal.The two former Arkansas players targeted in the initial legal efforts are Iamaleava and former receiver Dazmin James, sources told CBS Sports. A meeting between Iamaleava's […]
Grading the Broncos’ draft
Feb 27, 2025; Indianapolis, IN, USA; Texas defensive back Jahdae Barron (DB04) during the 2025 NFL Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Tanner Pearson-Imagn Images Grade: C Best Pick: CB Jahdae Barron, No. 20 Overall What We Liked: Barron is a stud. His extreme versatility along with high-end tackling skills and coverage ability should make him a cornerstone of that defense for a while. In an era that's shifting more toward the idea of "positionless football," the Broncos are charging forward into the future with a defensive back that is the shining example of that philosophy. I also think Sai'vion Jones could work in quickly as a third pass rusher. Not Sure About: In theory, adding a couple skill players for Bo Nix should work for Denver, but these guys don't have the juice. RJ Harvey does not have […]
