esta es mi futura carrera: los 1500″. Entre bromas, y con una sonrisa en su rostro, intentaba explicar el keniata Emmanuel Wanyonyi la gran sorpresa que había protagonizado en Kingston, en la primera cita del ‘Grand Slam Track’ de Michael Johnson, tras ganar los 1.500 ante todos los favoritos.
Aprovechando su mejor final de 800, el keniata esperó que se desgastaran en cabeza el estadounidense Yared Nuguse, bronce en París, y Josh Kerr, subcampeón olímpico, para realizar un último cambio ya en la recta, tras abrirse a la calle 2, para superar a sus rivales y firmar la victoria, con marca personal (3:35.18).
Con 12 puntos en la clasificación -hay que recordar que los atletas ‘Racers’ que participan en esta competición disputan dos pruebas, en este caso 800 y 1.500 del que sale un ganador-, a Emmanuel Wanyonyi le queda ahora su prueba, los 800 que se disputan esta próxima madrugada en el cierre de la primera cita de esta nueva competición.
En el resto de pruebas, destacó el triunfo del estadounidense Kenny Bednarek en los 200 metros, con 20.07, mientras que ya se conocen los ganadores globales del grupo de prueba de sprints largos: 200 y 400 metros. En categoría femenina, se impuso la estadounidense Gabby Thomas, con 20 puntos (y gracias a su mejor marca personal en los 400 metros, con 49.14), mientras que en categoría masculina, el triunfo fue para el británico Matthew Hudson-Smith, con 20 puntos.

Fantasy football rankings 2025: Busts by model that predicted Mostert’s poor year
PIkcing a tight end in your 2025 Fantasy football draft can be tricky, because a team with a strong passing game doesn't guarantee its tight end will produce a ton of fantasy points. Such was the case in 2024 for Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid, who is a talented player in Buffalo's pass-heavy offense, but was a TE15 in Fantasy football through Week 9. An injury derailed the rest of Kincaid's season, making him an overall Fantasy football bust.If Kincaid can rebound in 2025, he could end up being a steal in Fantasy football drafts. Is drafting Kincaid worth the risk, or are you better off drafting a tight end with less of a chance of being a Fantasy football bust? Before finalizing your 2025 Fantasy football draft strategy, be sure to check out the 2025 Fantasy football rankings and cheat […]

Why did Celtic suffer CL exit? What next for Rodgers and transfers?
Celtic played 210 minutes of football against a team ranked 315th in Europe without scoring, as their Champions League hopes ended bringing even more fan frustration.The Hoops support chanted 'sack the board' after a goalless first leg in Glasgow and the 300 who made the arduous 7,000-mile round trip to Kazakhstan will be wondering why they bothered. It is not the first time Celtic have approached a crucial European qualifier without properly strengthening, but was that the reason for one of their most dismal displays as they dropped into the Europa League?Should they have been good enough to win?

Matt Chapman: Racing League victory ‘would mean the world’
Matt Chapman's London and The South are on the brink of a first Racing League title as they head to Southwell for the final week of the competition this Thursday.Winning the Racing League would lay a ghostWinning the Racing League with London and The South at Southwell on Thursday - live on Sky Sports Racing - would mean the world to me - and would lay a ghost that has haunted me for well over two decades. Back in the early noughties my quest as Darryll Holland's agent was to make him champion jockey, but as hard as I tried I couldn't find him enough winners to snatch the title from the grasp of the great Kieren Fallon.Finally, as a team manager, I can set that record straight by actually winning something.
