Taylor Knibb wins Ironman world title after leader collapses in dramatic Kona finish | Triathlon - The Guardian
American triathlete Taylor Knibb has won her first Hawaiian Ironman world title after one of the most dramatic finishes in race history. With a mile left, Norwegian defending champion Solveig Løvseth led Knibb by more than a minute and looked rock-solid, having taken the lead from her inside the final 10km of the 42.2km marathon run. But then Løvseth quickly developed a dramatic case of the wobbles and collapsed. Knibb passed her about a kilometre from the finish and the Norwegian eventually recovered from the meltdown to finish eighth. It recalled the 1995 race, when Paula Newby-Fraser collapsed within just 500m of her seventh win and was passed by Karen Smyers. In a twist of history, Smyers helped hold the winner’s tape for Knibb. Vincent Luis of France won the men’s race aged 37, on his debut. It was just his third Ironman-distance race after Luis won Olympic bronze at Tokyo in the mixed team relay and claimed the 2019 and 2020 world championship series titles. Taylor Knibb competes during the marathon leg of the Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, on Saturday.
Israeli settlers attack European diplomats during West Bank olive harvest - Al Jazeera
Israeli settlers have attacked European diplomats, including a French mayor, near the Palestinian village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank. The delegation was visiting Palestinian olive harvesters on Saturday when the Israeli attackers confronted the group. The attack comes a day after settlers assaulted a US journalist north of Ramallah. In Saturday’s incident, the settlers targeted Belgium’s consul general, French and Polish diplomats and Catholic representatives, Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot said. “A French mayor was assaulted and a Belgian vehicle damaged,” Prevot said, linking the attack to what he called Israel’s “illegal settlement policy” and pledging to push for further European Union sanctions. French mayor Bernard Baudoux, who was assaulted, told the AFP news agency that the violence suggests that “there is a tolerance on the part of the Israeli government” towards settler violence. Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh, reporting from Ramallah, said the settlers surrounded the diplomats’ vehicles, pelted them with stones and smashed their windows.
