By 500 0

Elaine Thompson-Herah, a five-time Olympic champion, ran the fastest women’s 100m in the world this year at the Golden Games in California.  Thompson-Herah of Jamaica won her semi-final in 10.89 seconds in her first outdoor 100m race of the season.

She then declined to compete in the final, which was won by Twanisha Terry of the United States in a wind-assisted 10.77 seconds. Gabby Thomas, who finished third in the 100m, ran the fastest 200m time of the season, which is her preferred distance.

Thomas, an Olympic bronze medalist in the event, won in 22.02 seconds, while American Fred Kerley won in 19.80 seconds in the men’s equivalent.

Christian Coleman, the world 100m champion, was announced at the start of the 200m but did not run because he was serving an 18-month suspension for missing three drug tests.

Ronald Koeman: Barcelona Fires Their Head Coach

By 945 0

After 14 months in command at the Nou Camp, Ronald Koeman has been fired as Barcelona’s head coach. Barca has only 15 points from ten games in La Liga and has already lost twice in the Champions League group stage this season.

After losing against Rayo Vallecano on Wednesday, they are ninth in the table, six points behind the joint leaders. Barca had lost three of their last four games, including a Clasico loss to Real Madrid on Sunday. Last season, the 58-year-old former Netherlands, Everton, and Southampton manager could only lead the five-time European winners to third place in the league.

The club’s enormous financial issues, which culminated in Lionel Messi’s leave and subsequent move to Paris St-Germain in August, haven’t helped the Dutchman.
