The discourse will be that this kind of win is unsustainable when the truth is that Liverpool played Atleti off the park for most of the game.

Just over an hour left for Neeraj Chopra's final at the 2025 Athletics World Championships. Such a ridiculous achievement it would be, if he can defend his crown. I'm not optimistic, but what's life without hope, so I'm full of hope. Let's go, big man. espn.in/athletics/stor…

Here are predictions at ESPN India for the big javelin final this evening. espn.in/athletics/stor…

Just absolutely not happening for Neeraj here this evening. One more chance to save himself.

What a competition. The greatest streak Indian sport is over. 25 straight top two finishes later, Neeraj Chopra finishes the World Championship in eighth place.

The fear wasn’t unwarranted. Sigh.

🗣️ "I have always tried to never give any excuses. The real reason is that I wasn’t able to train much due to back pain," said Neeraj Chopra after failing to defend his title in the Men’s Javelin Final at the #WorldAthleticsChampionships. Neeraj finished 8th in the final with a

SYDNEY MCLAUGHIN-LEVRONE WOOOOOWWWWWW!!! WHAT AN ATHLETE!

What a man, Mohammad Nabi. Top, top stuff from the President.

On what’s next for Neeraj Chopra after last night. He knows what it takes to be the best in the world, so can he repeat that whole process again? espn.in/athletics/stor…

In one of the lowest nights in his career yet, Neeraj Chopra finished eighth at the World Championship final. ⏳ "The disappointment perhaps masked the enormity of that streak - it was 2566 days, or 33 events, since Neeraj last missed out on a podium finish," writes

Sameera Pieris captured these emotional moments yesterday.

When Beto signed for Everton, there was a message waiting for him. “If you need anything in the city, I can help you. Just give me a shout.” That was his introduction to Diogo Jota. thetimes.com/sport/football…

Wait. New CEO of Arsenal is Dick Garlick????!!!! Lauda Lassoon???!! Guys really?

Every story about Diogo since he passed has been about just what an incredible person he was. What a fella ❤️

Ryan Gravenberch, my word. What a footballer.

Botswana is 84% desert. Rain is so rare in Botswana that they named their currency "pula" after the Setswana word for rain, because rain is a valuable blessing. It fits their appreciation of rain that they won the gold medal in the 4×400 metres relay final in rainy conditions.

Abhishek Sharma is such a special player. Intent, aggression and all are of course great but the sheer skill needed to be averaging 35 as a T20 opener while batting at an SR of 200 is off the charts.
