Some athletes just have a gravitas around them that scrambles the brains of their opponents, and at today’s Rome World Cup Olympic champion Alex Yee (GBR) served a reminder that his aura is as strong as ever. After finding himself on the back foot in the swim, Yee worked his way up to the front on the bike, at which point his rivals seemed to lose hope in beating him. The Briton duly showed why as he unfurled a superlative 5km run to claim his first international win since making his return to international triathlon from his marathon detour. “It’s never easy racing these guys,” said Yee. “I decided to race this race because this kind of racing can sometimes expose me a little bit. So I really wanted to put myself in here and do my best. I really enjoyed the racing. It was hard racing, very honest. All in all, just a good race.”In a breathless 750m swim, recent World U23 Championship medallists Michael Gar (GBR) and Zalan Hóbor (HUN) led the way. With over sixty men in the field and multiple buoys to navigate, it was easy to lose position. Yee was not immune to this and emerged outside the top-40 men and 40 seconds down on the leaders.

Over a decade ago, Al Bjornaa was wondering what to do with a 10-foot refrigerated meat trailer that an uncle left at his property in Batchawana Bay, Ont., a 45-minute drive north of Sault Ste. Marie along Hwy. 17. “He thought we could use it to haul fish,” says Al, who’s part of a multi-generational commercial fishing operation on Lake Superior. “But it didn’t work out.” As a music lover and a record collector, Al saw another use for the trailer. “I thought it would be perfect for a record store because it’s got thick, insulated walls, to protect the vinyl from extreme temperatures,” he says.

Thomas Andre and Colombe Julia (FRA01) have triumphed at the 2026 Offshore Double Handed World Championship, winning the final race after a nail-biting battle that went right down to the wire. The closing hours of the 190NM final race on Friday 2 October were sailed in light, fickle winds, with the lead changing hands between four boats. But it was FRA01 who found the best route through the final patches of breeze, crossing the finish line at 12:20:26, just over two days after setting off.

It’s been a rapid ascent to the world championship podium for the soon-to-be 42-year-old, just five years into his archery career after first picking up the sport in 2021. Kent-Rodgman said it’s unbelievable to call himself the first Canadian medallist in the discipline and one of the top three barebow archers in the world.

Long-term real-world evidence on faricimab in previously treated, treatment-resistant neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) remains limited. Although pivotal trials demonstrated sustained visual outcomes and extended dosing intervals in treatment-naïve eyes, these findings may not be directly applicable to patients with chronic disease, persistent exudative activity, and a high treatment burden despite frequent anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy [1]. This study reports three-year outcomes following a switch from aflibercept 2 mg (Eylea; Bayer, Germany) to faricimab (Vabysmo; Roche, Switzerland) in treatment-resistant nAMD, extending the previously published 12- and 24-month analyses of this cohort [2, 3]. This retrospective, single-centre study was approved by the Trust clinical audit department (MEDRET/SE/2026-27/08) and followed the Declaration of Helsinki. It included 133 eyes of 107 patients with persistent or recurrent intraretinal fluid (IRF) and/or subretinal fluid (SRF), or inadequate treatment durability, despite aflibercept 2 mg ≤8-week intervals.

Skip to contentAlpine Ski World Cup Reform: Revisiting My 2016 Top 10Ten years ago, I poked fun at the Alpine World Cup for its slow pace of modernization in my article “The Top 10 Ways to Save the World Cup.”The title was deliberately provocative. The question behind it was serious: How could ski racing become more compelling for fans, more valuable to sponsors, more sustainable for athletes and more inviting to newcomers? Since then, Americans have voted in three presidential elections, a global pandemic upended daily life, new wars have erupted, and artificial intelligence has worked its way into almost everything. The world has hardly been standing still. A decade later, new stars have risen, records have fallen, and familiar champions have retired and returned. Equipment and broadcast technology have advanced. Safety has demanded renewed attention. Yet much of the World Cup still looks familiar. The world has found plenty of ways to reinvent itself. Ski racing seems rather attached to the way it has always done things. Following is a point-by-point assessment of 2016’s top 10 list:10. Roll back the GS ski regulationsStatus: Partial progress.
