BMW Claims Pole for First Time at Le Mans 24 Hours

BMW Claims Pole for First Time at Le Mans 24 Hours

Vanthoor’s lap of 3m22.564s earned the BMW M Hybrid V8 the first ever pole for the marque at the Le Mans 24 Hours. The time beat the Jota Cadillac V-Series and fellow driver Will Stevens by over half a second, overturning the original pole held by Cadillac at Circuit de la Sarthe.

Tilbake fra dopingdom – smadret rekord

Adaejah Hodge løp i natt inn til tiden 10,63 i semifinalen på 100-meter i NCAA-mesterskapet i friidrett. Dermed smadret hun Sha'Carri Richardsons collegerekord på 10,75 fra 2019.
– Jeg så ikke engang tiden før jeg løp inn i tunnelen, erkjenner hun etterpå overfor FloTrack
20-åringen ble samtidig historiens femte raskeste kvinne. Bare Florence Griffith-Joyner (10,49), Elaine Thompson-Herah (10,54), Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce (10,60) og Melissa Jefferson-Wooden (10,61) har løpt raskere.
Som 18-åring representerte Hodge De britiske Jomfruøyer under OL i Paris i 2024. Der kom hun til semifinale på 200 meter. Senere det året avla hun en positiv dopingprøve under junior-VM i Lima. Hodge tok i utgangspunktet gull på 200 meter og sølv på 100 meter i mesterskapet, men ble diskvalifisert.
Nå er hun tilbake fra en 17 måneder lang utestengelse – og åpenbart i forrykende form. Hun leverte nemlig også raske 21,96 i semifinalen på 200 meter i natt.
At noen vil være skeptisk til resultatene hennes på grunn av dopingdommen, aksepterer hun.
– Det har vært min bensin for å jobbe enda hardere for å oppnå det jeg ønsker i idretten, sier hun til FloTrack
Adaejah Hodge hadde perfekte forhold, en medvind på 1,9 meter i sekundet, da hun leverte superløpet på Hayward Field i Eugene. 10,63 er også årsbeste i verden til nå i 2026.
– Men jobben er ikke fullført. Lørdag er det finaler, påpeker hun i FloTrack-intervjuet.

Nobody should underestimate what Thomas Tuchel can do with England | Emma Hayes

Leaving Cole Palmer at home surprised me but I know Thomas from Chelsea – he’s the type of coach to die on his sword fish-roadgame.com

In Thomas Tuchel, England have an elite coach. Don’t underestimate him. In my 12 years working at Chelsea, he and Mauricio Pochettino were my two favourite managers.

Thomas is a great communicator, he’s demanding and he articulates himself really well. I admire the way he transfers information to the press and to players in a clear, concise way that is methodical, inspirational and detailed, all at the same time. I’ve seen him work at Chelsea. I’ve watched him in training and I’m a huge fan. He’s honest with his players and very direct. He doesn’t waste time – this is business, this is serious – but he’s also a fantastic guy.
