🤏 0.017s or 15cm: that’s the average difference between 3rd and 4th place at the 2025 U.S. Trials across the six short sprint and high hurdles events. I don’t recall such a small margin deciding a spot on the team. It raises questions about the impact of aerodynamic racewear! ⤵️
Il y a 37 ans, ce « flash » de l’agence @AP tombait dans toutes les rédactions.
À noter que le « flash », rarissime, constitue le plus haut degré d’importance d’une dépêche, devant « alerte » (anciennement « bulletin ») et « urgent », deux niveaux beaucoup plus courants.
@UncleTeddy971 Il n'y a pas de train prévu dans l'heure pour effectuer ce trajet. Le prochain train pour vous rendre à Monaco est le train n°86037 qui partira à 13h29.
Une arrivée au photo-finish épique lors du triathlon masculin des @jojdakar2026 👀🤩
L’écart était minime, rien n’a pu départager le Kazakh Ramazan Ainegov et le Japonais Daiki Nishizaki, qui se sont partagé la médaille de bronze après avoir franchi la ligne d’arrivée ensemble. 🥉

Members of the Coaches’ Commission, which was established at the end of 2025, decided on the long list of nominees as part of the revamped voting system.
Area coaches’ associations, or alternative nominated bodies in areas where a coaches’ association is not established, then voted by ranking the nominees to ensure full voting representation across all six areas to decide on the three finalists and one winner which announced at this year's World #AthleticsAwards on the 29th of November 🙏

Imagine two versions of yourself 20 years from now. One spent thousands of hours doomscrolling, consuming outrage, gossip, and algorithmic nonsense. The other read 1,000 books.
These two versions of you will have very different knowledge, attention spans and ways of thinking.
Reading books might be one of the best investments you can make in your future self. Especially in an AI-driven world where deep thinking, judgment and sustained attention will become increasingly valuable. The decline in reading scores over the past two decades gives readers an edge in a labour market that will be increasingly competitive for folks in their 40s and 50s.
One book a week. Twenty years. A completely different you.
