Happened to the rock guitarist Wilko Johnson.  He was also given a short time to live but survived for nine years.

Unheralded Suzan Lamens won Osaka 250 title as a qualifier. These Asian 250s are really the easiest way to make a run at a maiden WTA title for all these lower ranked players!

Dove into my results archive again...   I thought it might be fun to look at a single event from the same multi-sports games over time, so here's some comparative rankings from the Pan American Games (2007-2023).   Men's Shot Put (Winners) - Athletics 2019 Pan American Games: Darlan Romani  - 22.07m 2015 Pan American Games: O'Dayne Richards  - 21.69m 2023 Pan American Games: Darlan Romani  - 21.36m 2011 Pan American Games: Dylan Armstrong  - 21.30m 2007 Pan American Games: Dylan Armstrong  - 20.10m   Women's K1 500m (Winners) - Canoe Sprint 2023 Pan American Games: Michelle Russell  - 1:51.25 2019 Pan American Games: Beatriz Briones  - 1:52.552 2011 Pan American Games: Carrie Ann Johnson  - 1:54.243 2015 Pan American Games: Yusmari Mengana  - 2:00.656 2007 Pan American Games: Jill D'Alessio  - 2:01.977   Men's Sprint Qualification (1st Ranked Riders) - Track Cycling 2023 Pan American Games: Nicolas Paul  - 9.574 (75.203 km/h) 2019 Pan American Games: Nicolas Paul  - 9.808 (73.409 km/h) 2011 Pan American Games: Njisane Phillip  - 9.977 (72.165 km/h) 2015 Pan American Games: Hugo Barrette  - 9.978 (72.158 km/h) 2007 Pan American Games: Julio Cesar Herrera  - 10.772 (66.839 km/h)   Women's Jump (Winners) - Water Ski 2023 Pan American Games: Regina Jaquess  - 52.2 2011 Pan American Games: Regina Jaquess  - 50.60 2015 Pan American Games: Regina Jaquess  - 49.1 2007 Pan American Games: Regina Jaquess  - 43.70 Note: The 2019 Pan American Games were scored differently, thus not included on the ranking. Regina Jaquess  was the winner.     I didn't chose the above events for any particular reason, just thought I'd be interesting to look at the results. If there are any other events users would like to me to do this with, just tag me below. 

Canoe Polo World Championships are coming to the end. If i'm not mistaken this countries should get quotas:   Men   Women ()  Last spot should be decided between  and  in match for 7th place.   https://www.kayak-polo.info/app/#/chart Qualification system: https://www.canoeicf.com/sites/default/files/2025_cap_worldsgames-qs_061123.pdf

This 400IM field is a joke  (besides MSH…)  

Marc Marquez with a horror start (saved it nicely though)....turns out it was because right before the start, he took off a tear-off from his visor, threw it away and it ended up under his own bike  

That was Friday though, yesterday was better (although a seagull was destroyed by Miller) and today so far has not had any problem at all luckily  

And a Dutch record for Nyls Korstanje behind him     

WR for  Noe Ponti in the 50m butterfly! 21.67! 

Well, Honda and Yamaha are getting pantsed this season even more but at least we have more geese in Phillip Island
