The men’s Brighton Marathon on England’s south coast climaxed in a dramatic finish this weekend, when runner Neil McClements caught rival Ollie Garrod in the last 200 yards. McClements was officially declared the winner, completing the course in 2 hours and 33 minutes. But that victory is now in question following the error, which was spotted two hours after the race began. Garrod, a 28-year-old accountant, said that while he was “frustrated” by the mistake, he appreciated the inherent difficulties of measuring such long distances....

Even though Rhode Island was a higher seed, its win felt like an upset due to the nature of the two programs. Rhode Island is a fun team to root for, as evidenced by their exciting bench which had fun celebrations all throughout the game.

Elite Eight? Final Four? Championship? It’s one of those March Madness decisions that makes or breaks a bracket. The Jayhawks, perhaps more than any other true blue-blood, are the toughest call despite a steady run of success that has produced either a No. 1 or No. 2 seed every year since 2009-10. Kansas is in line for a No. 1 seed after sweeping the Big 12 regular season and tournament championships....

As ever, the rules are this: This ranking is based not on achievement to date, any sort of power-ranking compilation or how much I like the design of their home floors. (Because if it were that last one, Memphis would be last). It’s simply a question of how likely each team is to win the NCAA championship, based on such key factors as point guard play, NBA-level talent, offensive and defensive efficiency, rim protection and, with the way the game has changed, efficacy in long-distance offense....

Those protests, for a time, continued, with supporters showing their displeasure with signs and the wearing of the club’s original green and gold colors on match days. Sixteen years on, though, and those protests have largely been forgotten, at least outside United circles. On Sunday, though, the 2,000 or so fans who turned up at Old Trafford ensured their voices would be heard, with the scenes that followed ensuring few will forget the events of May 2 and the postponement of United’s clash with old rival Liverpool....

Meanwhile, a former player believes Cristiano Ronaldo is not the only problem at Old Trafford. Elsewhere, club record scorer Wayne Rooney has said that the Premier League giants have been in decline since 2011. On that note, here’s a look at the key Manchester United transfer stories as on 7th February 2022: Jamie O’Hara believes Cristiano Ronaldo is not the only problem at Old Trafford Former Manchester United midfielder Jamie O’Hara believes Cristiano Ronaldo is not the only problem at the club....

Solskjaer’s greatest gift to the Old Trafford faithful has been allowing midfield magician Paul Pogba to roam the attacking third and wreak havoc there. He has not burdened the French World Cup-winner with defensive duties and let him free into delivering crosses and vital passes. The result has been terrific, as Pogba showed us over the last couple of games. Marcus Rashford and Nemanja Matic, too, have improved considerably under Solskjaer, with the latter even bagging a goal against Huddersfield....

Manchin was scheduled to travel to Houston, Texas on Friday for a fundraiser hosted by a committee largely comprised of Republican donors with ties to the oil and natural gas industry, according to The Texas Tribune. A copy of an invitation cover letter obtained by the news outlet says that the event is geared towards “supporting” Manchin, who the group describes as “a longtime friend, since his days as Governor of West Virginia....

Mancini started with two out-and-out strikers in Lisbon, but neither Simone Zaza nor Ciro Immobile made much of an impact as Portugal dominated. Portugal scored the only goal of the game through Andre Silva early in the second half, with the 1-0 win the least Fernando Santos’ men deserved. The result leaves Italy with a single point from two Nations League games, and Mancini accepts their problem lies in attack....

One among the newest entrants into the side was young Punjab batsman, Mandeep Singh. The then 24-year-old batter had played one season for the Kolkata Knight Riders and four editions of the IPL for the Kings XI Punjab and was set to partner some big names, including skipper Virat Kohli at RCB. Having rubbed shoulders with some greats of the game such as Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Chris Gayle among others, Mandeep cherishes his time with RCB....

But there’s a little known figure behind Guardiola’s success, a man who has followed the boss from Barcelona to Bayern Munich and then to Manchester City, sharing in all the highs and lows of Guardiola’s career. Manel Estiarte has been a member of Guardiola’s technical staff throughout his career, following him from club to club. But this little known member of Pep’s backroom staff has never played football at any level, instead excelling in another sport; water polo....

Manning and Sanders connected for a trio of touchdowns Thursday night in the Denver Broncos’ 35-21 victory over the San Diego Chargers. MORE: Ranking the players who have caught a Manning TD pass With the Chargers’ banged-up secondary double-teaming red-hot receiver Demaryius Thomas, Sanders caught TD throws of 2, 31 and 3 yards. The last one followed Chris Harris Jr.’s interception of a flustered Philip Rivers. “Every week we don’t know where the ball is going to go,” Sanders said....

According to an unidentified source from Pacquiao’s camp, the fear is that he may have suffered a detached retina, an injury that would likely derail a proposed July rematch against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and potentially could end Pacquiao’s boxing career.

Mayweather was critical of younger fighters “chasing” a bout with 41-year-old Pacquiao, who won his most recent fight against the previously-undefeated Keith Thurman to claim the WBA super welterweight title last July. “I don’t have anything against him, but it’s not me. It’s sad that you hear guys say, ‘I want to fight Manny Pacquiao.’ But Manny Pacquiao is 41 now. Don’t chase him. You young guys chase each other....

Indian Olympic Association (IOA) President Narinder Batra announced during the send-off ceremony here that the 16-year-old Bhaker will lead the Indian team in the opening ceremony. “It is a great honour for me. I never expected to be the flag-bearer for the Indian contingent,” Manu told PTI. A contingent of 68 members, including 46 athletes, will depart for Argentina tomorrow to compete in 13 sports during the prestigious event....

The Maple Leafs general manager was apparently alerted via social media on Tuesday that Matthews was facing a disorderly conduct charge stemming from an incident that allegedly happened in Arizona in May. “I found out on on Twitter yesterday and then called Auston,” Dubas told reporters following the Leafs’ 3-0 preseason win over the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday. “There was no ducking, there was no denying anything. He was very honest with me about what had happened....

Many players are experiencing issues where they can’t seem to drop these crystals. When inputting the buttons that normally let players drop items, there is instead a buzzer sound indicating that it can’t be dropped. This is the same noise made when an item is too big to fit into a given space, but that definitely isn’t the case here. By all accounts, this seems like a fairly game breaking glitch in Maquette that requires players to start the level over....
