O’Connor will take a couple of weeks now to “chill” and “not speak about athletics” before reflecting and evaluating 2026 with dad and coach Michael, as they plan ahead for what will hopefully be an exciting couple of years.However, in amongst all the excitement of her big wins this summer was the family sadness of the passing of her grandmother Madeleine to who she dedicated the European gold medal.”My granny was one of my biggest supporters and, like, every medal that I would win, she was completely over the moon every single time,” explained O’Connor.”She would always make jokes that…
Arsenal entered this summer in a position every rival wanted. Mikel Arteta had finally delivered the Premier League title, ending a 22-year wait, but the response has not been to admire the trophy cabinet. The champions have continued strengthening. Illan Meslier arrived to add competition and depth in goal, while Christos Tzolis gave Arteta another quick, direct option across the front line. Piero Hincapie’s move was also made permanent following his loan spell. The Ecuador international already understands Arsenal’s demands and can cover central defence or the left side. The headline signing, however, was Bruno Guimarães. Reuters/Matthew Childs Arsenal paid…

The England international returns to Italy two years after he had a loan stint with Genoa, playing 16 games for the Rossoblu in the second half of the 2023-24 campaign. Spence also spent time on loan at Rennes and Leeds United during his four years as…
“She only had that many fights in the professionals, but she got belts,” Shields said during her post-fight interview. “It’s not my fault this girl don’t have the experience that I have. But hey, she got a belt that I know belongs to me, and that’s The Ring belt.” It is an unusual criticism considering the fighter Shields just beat. Scott entered Saturday’s bout with a 5-1-1 record, meaning she had only seven professional fights herself. At 42, she was also eleven years older than Shields and had never faced anyone remotely comparable to the two-time Olympic gold medalist. Thibeault’s…
