Michaela Nicholas was watching the NYC Marathon when Rachel Apa ran by... & then collapsed.
She rushed to help. 'I held Rachel's hand and told her that she wasn't alone.'
Tragically, Apa died. But Michaela's heroics should not be forgotten. Interview:

Youri Tielemans on what’s missing at #mufc:
"It's everything, you know. It's a combination of everything, whether it's tactical, technical, effort. But, yeah, we need to try and do better at everything."
Kamario Taylor is college football's breakout star. With freakish arm talent, he's on course to be a top NFL prospect.
I spoke to some of those who know the Mississippi State QB best before tomorrow's chance to take down Alabama.

We are delighted to once again be honouring the memory of our great friend and colleague Nigel Pearson during the 2026 Cab Direct British Final at Belle Vue on Saturday.
We will be presenting the Nigel Pearson Award for the fifth time as we fondly remember the massive contribution Nigel made to the sport during an exceptional writing and broadcasting career.
The format of the Award remains unchanged and we want all supporters to get involved in voting for the winner.
The Award will go to the rider judged to have provided the most entertainment during the Cab Direct British Final – a meeting which Nigel always loved, and firmly championed its position on the domestic calendar.
After Heat 20, four candidates will be nominated for the Award, and supporters will then be able to vote in a poll on social media site X for the night’s most entertaining rider.
The announcement of the contenders will be made at the stadium and on BSP social media channels, with the presentation to be made in the Peter Craven Suite after the Final where the top three riders in the Cab Direct British Final will be taking part in the press conference.
📺 Watch live…

An unlikely journey. An unforgettable legacy.

The first player from the International Player Pathway Program to make an NFL roster, Efe’s journey has inspired a generation of fans and players in the UK.
Thank you, Efe 🫶 You’ll always be a part of the NFL UK & Ireland family.

Horrific week for FIFA but a great one for British journalism, which showed again why it’s feared (& hated) by those in power.
UK media outlets broke news of Infantino’s power grab, effectively rallying opposition that killed it.

For Luke Weaver, New York is more than a stop on his winding MLB path. It's where a career that once seemed doomed found new life, making a possible departure from the Big Apple more difficult to swallow

After rushing from the mixed zone to Augusta National's media center, I was at my desk to hear Fred Ridley dub LIV Golf a "special friend" as he addressed patrons. It was a landmark moment for LIV, yet less than four months on, the league is on the brink.

For so long this tournament, it looked inevitable Lionel Messi would drag Argentina to another World Cup.
Then as 120 long, painful minutes played out, it became inevitable Spain would condemn him to another heartbreak at this stadium.
