Sigma tuší, že přijde o Klimenta: Nabídce Slavie můžeme těžko konkurovat
Kliment prodělal během sezony dvě vážná zranění, momentálně se zotavuje ze zlomeniny lýtkové kosti. Zasáhl tak jen do 21 ligových utkání. Ale i tak nasázel osmnáct branek. S jistotou se tak dá tvrdit, že ovládne žebříček ligových kanonýrů.„Kdo by to řekl, že hráč v regionálním klubu, jakým Sigma je, se stane králem střelců? Neuvěřitelný počin. Má obrovskou kvalitu, je pohotový, jeho přehled i zakončení jsou špičkové,“ chválil Klimenta Janotka. Ten si je moc dobře vědom, že opora v řadách jeho svěřenců zřejmě moc dlouho nevydrží.Foto: Luděk Peřina, ČTKZraněný útočník Sigmy Olomouc Jan Kliment přišel na finále poháru o berlích. Není tajemstvím, že o Klimenta jeví eminentní zájem pražská Slavia. I přes zdravotní potíže, které jej momentálně trápí. A sám reprezentační útočník? Ten moc dobře tuší, že ve 31 letech má možná poslední příležitost na velký přestup. Poslední příležitost znovu si zahrát Ligu mistrů, již si před necelými třemi roky vyzkoušel v Plzni.„Vnímám, […]

Miguel Amaya exits with injury in Cubs loss, a blow to one of MLB’s best catching duos
Cubs catcher Miguel Amaya exited in the fifth inning of Saturday’s 6-4 loss to the Reds in Cincinnati with a left oblique strain, a blow to one of the best catching duos in baseball. After the game, manager Craig Counsell told media in Cincinnati that Amaya would be headed to the injured list.It wasn’t long ago that the Cubs’ catching situation appeared irreparable, with Amaya’s development seemingly stalled. At the start of last July, the position was producing a 32 wRC+ for the team, 29th in baseball. The combined minus-1.9 fWAR was dead last.Advertisement“Those numbers, when you’re at the bottom of the league, that just hurts,” Counsell said earlier this season. “That hurts team offense, for sure. At that position, when you can be a real difference maker offensively, that’s impactful. No question about it.”Team president Jed Hoyer searched for […]
Handball-Wahnsinn, Teil 4 – Nationalspieler jubeln über Junioren-Finale
Im Fußball ist das wahrscheinlich undenkbar, beim Handball ist es wohltuende Normalität. „Ich war schon mittags hier und habe die Halle aufgesperrt.“ Sagt Koray Ayar (25), der zum Bundesliga-Kader der TSV Hannover-Burgdorf aus der Daikin Handball-Bundesliga zählt und türkischer Nationalspieler ist. Gemeint ist die Burgdorfer Rudolf-Bembennek-Halle, in der am Samstag die Hölle los war.

Marcelo Mayer’s chaotic MLB debut: Lost keys, a long car ride and a standing ovation
BOSTON — Early Saturday as the Triple-A Worcester Red Sox prepared to play a doubleheader at home, manager Chad Tracy called Marcelo Mayer into his office. He didn’t have Mayer in the lineup for the first game. The reason? The big-league club was awaiting word on third baseman Alex Bregman’s MRI. An injury might create a spot on the MLB roster.Not long after, Mayer got a second call into Tracy’s office. Marcelo gets the call: pic.twitter.com/jVZDqRxKjP — Red Sox (@RedSox) May 24, 2025“He said something along the lines of, ‘You’re not playing. You’ll play the second game, but not here. You’ll be playing in Fenway,’” Mayer, 22, said. “I just got the craziest rush through my whole body. It was a pretty cool thing.”Mayer, the No. 28 prospect in baseball according to The Athletic’s Keith Law, was about to make […]
‘Pacers and racers’: Indianapolis’ stage is set for 2 Sunday sports spectacles
INDIANAPOLIS — There is no time to sleep in the Circle City.Not when the Indianapolis 500 overlaps with the NBA’s Eastern Conference finals. Not when 350,000 fans descend upon Indianapolis Motor Speedway and another 17,000 fans pack Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Not when both events occur on the same day.AdvertisementThe locals call it “Pacers and racers,” a phenomenon that happens only when the Indiana Pacers’ playoff run bumps into the Indy 500 in May. But when both events are scheduled just hours apart in Indianapolis, as will be the case Sunday for only the fourth time in history, they also see it as something of an official holiday. Rest will be at a minimum for die-hard fans of the Pacers and IndyCar — especially those brave enough to attend both events.Brad Astbury, a 34-year-old pilot, will be one of them. And he […]
