The Wallabies backed it up. That’s not something that you hear all that often as a rugby union supporter nowadays in Australia, but as a loyal Wallabies fan and devotee of rugby, it is something that I’m sure many others in Australia could certainly get used to. Having now won two successive matches against the Welsh, and held off Georgia, there is no doubt that Australian rugby fans around the world have had a spring in their step in July and who can blame us? Australia had not won two games on the trot since October of 2021, and Joe…
As Barbora Krejcikova stood with the Venus Rosewater Dish in her hands, there was one thing she could not stop saying.”I don’t have any words right now, it’s just unbelievable,” the Czech said, to cheers from the crowd.Asked what it means to the Czech Republic to have another Wimbledon champion, she said: “Well, I think nobody believes it that I got to the final and nobody believes that I won Wimbledon.”I still can’t believe it.”Krejcikova arrived at SW19 having won just three matches in five months, the result of a season plagued by injury and illness.She leaves it as the…
By Steve Bunce IF the last moments of Deontay Wilder’s career took place in the Riyadh ring when he stumbled, turned and was hit flush by Zhilei Zhang, he would be in great company. His last act in a boxing ring was to try and convince the referee, Kieran McCann, that he was fine; a second later he fell into McCann’s arms and at 1:51 of the fifth round it was the end for Wilder. He made a fortune in his career as the heavyweight champion of the world, he was in the neon glare at the end and not…
Jul 21, 2024, 09:36 PM ETTRUCKEE, Calif. — Nick Dunlap became the first player in PGA Tour history to win as an amateur and a professional in the same year, rallying Sunday for a two-point victory in the Barracuda Championship.In January at The American Express in La Quinta, the 20-year-old Dunlap — then a sophomore at the University of Alabama — became the eighth amateur to win a tour event and the first in 33 years. He turned professional days later.”I never thought that I would have my name next to that, but it’s definitely an honor,” Dunlap said about…
A lot has been said since the U.S. men’s national team decided to replace Kawhi Leonard with Derrick White, after they assessed that the Clippers star was still suffering from the knee injury that kept him out of his club’s final games from this past season. However, some believe that there was another Celtics player who deserved the call. Boston conquered the NBA title with Jaylen Brown as their Finals MVP, and many consider him a better asset for Team USA’s gold-medal aspirations than White. Either way, JB didn’t want any trouble, so he revealed that he called his teammate…
Conor McGregor appears ready to make his comeback. Following an eventful week where he hosted a BKFC press conference, launched a new record label, blasted Jake Paul after his boxing match and apparently fired Mike Perry from his job with the bare-knuckle promotion, the Irish superstar took to Twitter to inform his next opponent that he’s healthy and ready to fight. The comment came after McGregor posted a video showing him hitting a punching machine with no gloves on and that led to Michael Chandler replying “but show us the bare foot knuckles.” McGregor broke his pinky toe in the…
2024 NOVATO SECTIONALS Brooke Boak impressed on the final day of Novato Sectionals with a personal-best 25.20 on her way to the women’s 50 freestyle win on Sunday night. The 37-year-old Stanford alum shaved .14 seconds off her previous-best 25.24 from March, which was her first time swimming the 50 free since the 2008 Olympic Trials. Boak wound up placing 28th at the U.S. Olympic Trials last month in 25.38. Indiana commit (’25) Liberty Clark earned the runner-up finish in the 50 free in 25.95, within half a second of her personal-best 25.50 from May. The Crow Canyon Country Club…
It had to be him. The most novel finale to the Tour de France in the race’s history still contrived to produce the most predictable of endings, as Tadej Pogačar cruised to his sixth stage victory to crown a crushing overall win.When the concluding Nice time trial was confirmed two years ago, ASO doubtless dreamt of a repeat of 1989 and all that, when Greg LeMond snatched yellow from Laurent Fignon at the last. There was simply no way, however, of Pogi-proofing this year’s race. The Slovenian has simply been on another level to all comers in 2024, divesting the…
