Here’s a scenario: a first-week breakaway in the Vuelta a España sees a dark horse favourite unexpectedly gain considerable time on the main contenders and claim both the stage win and take a significant advantage overall. That’s what happened to Sepp Kuss in 2023 and it’s happened again with Ben O’Connor in 2024.Speaking at the finish in Yunquera, the 2023 Vuelta champion recognised there were definitely similarities between how he had both taken a stage victory last year at Javalambre and made important inroads on GC.Unlike O’Connor on stage 6 of the 2024 Vuelta a España, Kuss did not take…

Wheelchair tennis player Abbie Breakwell achieves her “impossible dream” of reaching the Paralympic Games in Paris.
By Dan Morley The left hook is my favourite shot in boxing. Once a fighter learns how to deliver the lead hook you realise how powerful your perceived weak hand can truly be. Requiring tight delivery, whipping speed, along with a compact, well timed – yet loose swing to maximise damage – a left hook can quickly turn the tide of a fight, career, and, in some cases, the course of boxing history. Angelo Leo’s spectacular left hook, Knockout of the Year Contender, which dethroned highly rated champion Luis Alberto Lopez last weekend, reminded me of boxing’s most clinical, consistent,…

Hull rolled in her first birdie of the day on the fifth, which was cancelled out with a bogey on the par-3 eighth, however she was soon under par again with a birdie on the ninth.

A civil lawsuit against former NBA player Dwight Howard alleging sexual assault and battery has been dropped, according to a court filing obtained by ESPN.

Justin Bailey, one of Howard’s attorneys, told ESPN’s Baxter Holmes that no money was paid to Harper in exchange for him…
