  • Usain Bolt didn’t hesitate when asked if Cristiano Ronaldo could beat him in a race

    Usain Bolt didn’t hesitate when asked if Cristiano Ronaldo could beat him in a race

     

    Olympic legend Usain Bolt had no doubt when asked if Cristiano Ronaldo would be able to beat him in a race.

     

    Having won an impressive eight Olympic gold medals and set three long-standing world records, Bolt is widely considered to be one of the greatest athletes ever and undoubtedly the best sprinter of all time.

     

    Like Bolt, Ronaldo is viewed by many to be the best of all time in his sport, having scored nearly 950 goals in a storied career that has seen him win five Ballon d’Ors, five Champions Leagues and domestic titles across Europe.

     

    When asked on his opinions on Ronaldo, Bolt confessed that he was a massive fan of the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star, and revealed how he thinks the striker would perform if they were to race each other.

     

     

     

    Cristiano Ronaldo still plays for Portugal and played a key role in their 2024/25 Nations League campaign.

     

    Despite retiring in 2017, Bolt has remained active in the world of sports and regularly takes the time to speak to the meida and reflect on his career and the current stars of sprinting.

     

    And when speaking to Spanish news outlet Marca Sport Weekend he admitted that he believes that Ronaldo could comfortably beat him if they were to race each other now.

     

    “For sure Cristiano Ronaldo,” the Jamaican legend said in 2020.

     

     

     

    “For me, he works out every day. He’s a super athlete, you know what I mean?

     

    “He’s always on top of his game. He works hard, he’s focused.

     

    “So right now, I definitely think he’s faster than me.”

     

     

    Usain Bolt set his 100m world record in Berlin in 2009.

     

    While Bolt enjoys the benefits of retiring after such a successful career in sport, Ronaldo remains active at the age of 40, playing for Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr while captaining his national team.

     

    And it is precisely this reason that Bolt thinks that the striker would outpace him if they were to compete in a short distance foot race in the modern day.

     

    Of course, if Ronaldo were to face off against Bolt when the Jamaican was in his prime, it wouldn’t even be a competition, with Bolt still holding on to the 100m record with a time of 9.58 seconds.

     

     

  • Badgers top OLB target commits to rival Big Ten school

    Badgers top OLB target commits to rival Big Ten school

     

    Wisconsin missed out on a marquee four-star outside linebacker on Monday.

     

    The Wisconsin Badgers were dealt some unfortunate news on Monday, as 2026 four-star outside linebacker McHale Blade committed to the Michigan Wolverines.

     

    Blade, a native of Chicago, Illinois, was on campus for Wisconsin’s first weekend of official visits and was a clear priority target at outside linebacker for coach Matt Mitchell.

     

    Wisconsin looked to make some noise for the top-200 recruit, but faced steep competition to land Blade, with the Michigan Wolverines and Notre Dame Fighting Irish both expected to get official visits afterwards.

     

    Michigan got an official for Blade this weekend, and it was enough to seal the deal for the four-star, as he committed to the Wolverines on Monday. Wisconsin always had some ground to make up behind Michigan and Notre Dame, and that proved to be true with Blade’s commitment.

     

    He should play on the edge at Michigan, where the Wolverines have developed quite a few NFL talents over the past few seasons.

     

    Now, Wisconsin is focused on some of its other targets in a room that is suddenly looking dry. Four-star Jackson Samuels-Ford is still on the board, but has Penn State, Ohio State, and Michigan after him. The Badgers also lost three-star Carmelow Reed, who flipped to Ole Miss last week.

     

    The Badgers were looking for two to three targets at outside linebacker in the 2026 class. We’ll see what they can do going into the third weekend of official visits.

  • WVU Football Adds Tackling Machine Miles Khatri

     

    WVU Football secured their fifth commitment of the day on Monday, June 9 when linebacker Miles Khatri of Pike Road, Al. chose the Mountaineers. Khatri announced his decision via a post to his Twitter (X) account.

     

    Mountaineers assistant and middle linebackers coach Henry Weinreich offered Khatri in January 2025.

     

    A member of the class of 2026, recruiting sites like Rivals and 247Sports don’t yet have Khatri ranked, but with another season left in his high school career, he has plenty of time to change that. Middle linebacker isn’t always considered a ‘flashy’ position in this era of football, but their ability to flock to ball carriers and captain the defense remains critical regardless

     

    Khatri, who also held offers from schools like Liberty, UAB and the service academies, racked up more than 100 tackles in each of his last two seasons. A six foot tall, 212 pound recruit, Khatri is also listed at ATH: he likely fits best as a middle linebacker due to his tackling ability and build.

  • FIVE WOMEN GO SUB-FOUR! | 2025 Rome Diamond League 1500m

     

     

    The 2025 Rome Diamond League delivered one of the most electrifying women’s 1500m races in recent memory, as five athletes broke the elusive four-minute barrier in a single race — a testament to the event’s growing depth and intensity on the global stage. With perfect conditions, a roaring Stadio Olimpico crowd, and a world-class field, the race was set up for something historic — and it delivered.

     

    Leading the charge was Ethiopia’s Diribe Welteji, who surged ahead in the final 200 meters to take the victory in a stunning 3:56.78. Welteji, the reigning World Championships silver medalist, showcased tactical brilliance and blistering finishing speed, holding off a deep field of competitors in what turned into a thrilling sprint to the line.

     

    Close behind was Great Britain’s Laura Muir, clocking 3:57.12 — her fastest time since 2021. Muir, a perennial Diamond League threat and Olympic silver medalist, proved that she’s back in top form just months out from the Paris Olympics. Her strong, consistent pacing throughout the race kept her in contention until the final stretch, where she held off a fast-finishing group.

     

    In third was American teenager Addison Wiley, who stunned the field with a personal best of 3:58.09. The 20-year-old has been turning heads all season, but this performance firmly cements her as a rising star on the international scene. Her fearless racing style and ability to hold on against more seasoned veterans were clear indicators of her immense potential.

     

    Australia’s Jessica Hull (3:59.04) and Kenya’s Nelly Chepchirchir (3:59.57) rounded out the top five — both crossing under four minutes and adding their names to the ever-growing list of sub-four performers. Hull, in particular, has been a consistent force in championship and circuit races alike, and Rome marked another strong showing in her 2025 campaign. Chepchirchir, still just 21, continues to impress with her range and resilience in championship-style races.

     

    This race not only highlighted individual brilliance but also underscored a broader shift in the sport. Just a decade ago, sub-four-minute performances in the women’s 1500m were rare and often the domain of only a handful of elite athletes. Now, more and more women are entering that elite tier, pushing each other to new heights. The Rome Diamond League was a clear demonstration of that evolution.

     

    Behind the top five, several athletes also clocked personal bests, even if they just missed the magical barrier. The depth of the field and the fast pace, set by pacemakers through 800m in 2:05, ensured a relentless rhythm that tested every athlete’s limits.

     

    With the Paris Olympics looming just weeks away, this Rome showdown served as both a proving ground and a warning shot. The women’s 1500m is no longer just about one or two dominant figures — it’s a wide-open battle among a deep, fearless, and rapidly improving global field.

     

    If this race was any indication, we’re in for an unforgettable summer of middle-distance racing.

     

     

     

     

  • A tale of two Billys: Which one will Badger football get in 2025

    A tale of two Billys: Which one will Badger football get in 2025

     

    Badger football had its fair share of struggles at quarterback in 2024. Starter Tyler Van Dyke went down with injury after just two games, and backup Braedyn Locke never fully quite put things together. Now in 2025, transfer quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. will get the keys, but he comes with his own questions as well.

     

    Last season at Maryland was Edwards Jr’s first year as a full-time starter, and while overall he had success, his 10 games were wildly inconsistent. In his first five games of the year, Edwards Jr. was dominant and had some of the best numbers in the Big Ten. His final five games of the season were borderline disastrous, leaving many Badger fans wondering which quarterback will show up in Madison.

     

    Which Billy Edwards Jr. will Wisconsin get?

     

    Completion %

     

    TD/INT

     

    Yards

     

    First 5 games

     

    72.3%

     

    11/2

     

    1444

     

    Last 5 games

     

    59.6%

     

    4/7

     

    1411

     

    The new Badger quarterback finished the year with some solid numbers as a whole, but it’s hard to ignore the poor play down the stretch. Yes, Maryland’s offensive line and much of the team in general was a disaster last year, which contributes to the sub-par second half of the season, but the stark contrast is a bit unsettling.

     

    Considering several of the games early on were against inferior opponents like Connecticut or Villanova, it makes sense Edwards Jr. was able to put up some good numbers. But down the line against Big Ten talent, things went south. So should we be concerned?

     

    Ultimately, the answer is probably no. Edwards Jr. is a very smart player with elite leadership skills and dual-threat ability. He’s a great fit with new offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes’ system, and will have all the opportunity in the world to flourish. He had a bad second-half to 2024, but it doesn’t really raise too many red flags taking into account the poor play around him.

  • Warriors notebook: Wade’s first outing, reserves win big and upcoming Dewsbury trip

    Warriors notebook: Wade’s first outing, reserves win big and upcoming Dewsbury trip

     

     

    The Wigan Warriors Men weren’t in action over the weekend, but the Women’s team made history under the famous Wembley arch as they defeated St Helens 42-6 to lift the Challenge Cup for the first time.

    Only two Warriors teams were in action last week, but, as ever, there are plenty of talking points from the last seven days, so let’s get into them, shall we? Here is the latest Wigan Warriors notebook.

     

     

    Dean Williams

    Christian Wade’s first outing

    Wigan’s new signing Christian Wade only linked up with his new teammates last Wednesday following the conclusion of his rugby union commitments with Gloucester, and he played his first rugby league game the following day! The 34-year-old, who has joined Wigan on a short-term contract for the remainder of the 2025 campaign, started on the wing for the reserves in their win over Castleford Tigers at the Mend-A-Hose Jungle on Thursday evening.

     

    Wade, a former British & Irish Lions representative, played around 52 minutes before coming off the field. He didn’t get on the scoresheet, but he did provide an assist for Jack Farrimond. Could he make his official debut for the Warriors in this Saturday’s game against Huddersfield? His coach Matt Peet will probably provide an update on that in his press conference later this week.

     

     

     

    Young guns impress as Reverses romp to victory

    Whilst all eyes were on Wade playing his first game of rugby league since crossing codes on Thursday night, a number of young guns impressed for the reserves as they ran out comfortable 56-10 winners against Castleford.

     

    The Warriors ran in 10 tries thanks to George Hirst (3), Jack Farrimond (2), Kalum Rathbone, Harvey Makin, Nathan Lowe, Declan Murphy and Kian McDermott to come away from West Yorkshire with a convincing win, and ultimately, the two points.

     

    Reserves line-up: Finlay Yeomans; Christian Wade, Nathan Lowe, Josh Cartwright, Jacob Douglas; Charlie Yeomans, Jack Farrimond; Kian McDermott, Tom Forber, Harvey Makin, George O’Loughlin, George Hirst, Taylor Kerr. Subs: Lukas Mason, Declan Murphy, Jack Purtill, Kalum Rathbone.

     

    Tries: Hirst (3), Farrimond (2), Rathbone, Makin, Lowe, Murphy, McDermott Goals: Farrimond 8/10

     

     

     

    A trip to unfamiliar surroundings

    Having had no game last weekend due to the Challenge Cup finals taking place at Wembley, Peet’s side are back in action this Saturday against Huddersfield Giants at the FLAIR Stadium in Dewsbury.

     

    The Round 14 match was scheduled to take place at the John Smith’s Stadium, but it has been moved over to the neighbouring town of Dewsbury due to a Stereophonics concert taking place at the usual home of the Giants.

     

    It will be the first time Wigan have played at the FLAIR Stadium since 2016, when Shaun Wane’s Warriors ran out comfortable 54-4 winners against Dewsbury Rams in a Challenge Cup sixth-round tie.

     

    Warriors top the Super League stats

    Ahead of Super League returning this weekend, let’s take a look at the stats at the halfway mark, shall we? It makes for good reading if you’re of Warriors persuasion. Jai Field is currently the top try-scorer, with 15 in 12 league matches so far. Elsewhere, Bevan French and Jake Wardle have scored nine tries apiece in the league, third highest behind Hull KR halfback Mikey Lewis, who has 12 to his name.

     

     

     

    Warriors sharpshooter Adam Keighran is currently leading the way for successful goals in Super League, with 47 to his name. Wakefield Trinity’s Max Jowitt (38) and Hull KR’s Arthur Mourgue (36) sit behind Keighran.

     

    Meanwhile, Leigh Leopards halfback Lachlan Lam has recorded the most assists (19) so far this season, whilst Leeds Rhinos man Jake Connor is second with 16. Wigan’s Harry Smith sits third on the list, with 14, including three in the last two games.

     

    Warriors winger Liam Marshall is leading the way for metres, with 2,107 to his name so far. He has also made the second-highest number of carries in the competition. Wigan superstar Junior Nsemba is an ever-present for Peet’s side in 2025 and has registered the most tackle busts (81) in the competition.

     

    In addition, Field is currently second in the charts for most clean breaks (18), with reigning Man of Steel Lewis in pole position (19). Former Warrior Joe Burgess, who is now at Hull KR, is third in the list (13), ahead of Marshall, who has 12 to his name.

     

    The Warriors Women made history on Saturday as they won the Challenge Cup for the very first time in their maiden appearance under the famous Wembley arch, having eased past rivals St Helens 42-6. It was the first major trophy Wigan have won since the 2018 Grand Final, and also their first win over the Saints since 2018.

     

    Denis Betts’ side ran in seven tries through Megan Williams, Mary Coleman, Emily Veivers, Izzy Rowe, Eva Hunter, Grace Banks and Anna Davies, with homegrown talent Rowe maintaining a 100 per cent success rate with the boot.

     

    Women’s line-up: Grace Banks; Anna Davies, Georgia Wilson, Molly Jones, Ellise Derbyshire; Jenna Foubister, Izzy Rowe; Mary Coleman, Remi Wilton, Holly Speakman, Eva Hunter, Shaniah Power, Megan Williams. Subs: Carys Marsh, Vicky Molyneux, Rachel Thompson, Emily Veivers. 18th woman: Tiana Power.

     

    Tries: Williams, Coleman, Veivers, Rowe, Hunter, Banks, Davies Goals: Rowe 7/7

     

     

     

    The heroes under the Wembley arch

    There were a number of outstanding performers for the Warriors Women in the capital. Speedster Banks, who scooped the Player of the Match award, recorded the most metres, with 215, including a stunning 60-metre effort for her try. Her teammates Anna Davies (176) and Mary Coleman (161) came second and third respectively.

     

    Warriors talent Izzy Rowe delivered a stunning display alongside her halfback partner Jenna Foubister. Rowe played the full 80 minutes, scored a try, registered one assist and kicked seven goals from as many attempts. Wigan prop Coleman also emerged as the top tackler in the winning side at Wembley, with 31 to her name.

  • WVU Lands Another 2026 Commitment on Monday

    WVU Lands Another 2026 Commitment on Monday

     

    West Virginia University football continues to build momentum on the recruiting trail, securing another commitment for its 2026 class on Monday. This latest addition reflects the Mountaineers’ growing reputation as a program focused on long-term development and future competitiveness in the ever-evolving world of college football.

     

    The 2026 recruiting cycle may seem distant, but early commitments are becoming increasingly common as schools and athletes look to solidify their futures earlier in the process. WVU’s coaching staff, led by head coach Neal Brown, has made it clear that they are targeting high-upside players with both athletic talent and strong character. The newest recruit fits that mold well and adds to what is already shaping up to be a promising class.

     

    While the university has yet to release the full details of the commitment, early reports indicate that the player is a versatile athlete who has drawn interest from multiple Power Five programs. Whether it’s a standout wide receiver, a dynamic defensive back, or a disruptive presence in the trenches, WVU’s ability to secure talent this early speaks to the trust players and their families are placing in the Mountaineers’ vision for the future.

     

    This marks the second commitment in as many weeks for WVU’s 2026 class, which is slowly beginning to take shape. Recruiting insiders note that this type of momentum can be contagious, with early pledges helping to sway other top prospects to give West Virginia a serious look. Building relationships early gives coaches more time to develop players and integrate them into the program’s culture before they even step on campus.

     

    One of the most encouraging signs from Monday’s announcement is the regional footprint WVU is continuing to build. The staff has focused its efforts on key recruiting hotbeds such as Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and the Southeast. Bringing in players from talent-rich areas not only improves the roster but also strengthens ties with high school programs that can provide future recruits.

     

    As the NCAA landscape shifts with the advent of NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) opportunities and potential changes to transfer portal rules, building a class of committed, coachable, and development-focused athletes has never been more critical. WVU’s strategy of targeting high-potential underclassmen suggests that the program is adapting well to the modern realities of recruiting.

     

    For fans, Monday’s commitment should be another encouraging sign that the coaching staff is focused on long-term success. While immediate results on the field are always important, securing future talent provides stability and a foundation for continued competitiveness in the Big 12 and beyond.

     

    As more details emerge about the new recruit—including position, high school program, and possible early impact—the excitement will likely grow. One thing is certain: WVU is sending a clear message that it intends to be a player on the national recruiting stage, not just for this year or next, but well into the future.

     

     

  • I’m Very Sad’ – Usain Bolt Names Three Elite Sprinters He Wished He’d Raced Including Current World Record Holder

    I’m Very Sad’ – Usain Bolt Names Three Elite Sprinters He Wished He’d Raced Including Current World Record Holder

     

     

    Usain Bolt, the legendary Jamaican sprinter widely regarded as the greatest of all time, has never been shy about expressing his love for competition. In a recent interview, the eight-time Olympic gold medalist and former world record holder in the 100m and 200m sprints opened up about a rare source of regret in his otherwise storied career: the sprinters he never got to face on the track.

     

    “I’m very sad I didn’t get to race them,” Bolt admitted, speaking candidly about three elite athletes who, due to timing and circumstance, never had the chance to line up against him in a major event. Among the trio, one stands out not only for his blazing speed but for being the current holder of the men’s 100m world record—adding a particularly intriguing “what if” to Bolt’s reflections.

     

    1. Christian Coleman

     

    One of the fastest men in recent history, American sprinter Christian Coleman rose to prominence just as Bolt was stepping away from the sport. Known for his explosive starts and raw acceleration, Coleman won the 2019 World Championship in Doha with a time of 9.76 seconds in the 100m—just shy of Bolt’s world record of 9.58. Bolt praised Coleman’s technical ability, especially his dominance in the first 60 meters, an area where Bolt historically lagged before unleashing his unmatched top-end speed. “He’s a beast out of the blocks,” Bolt said. “It would have been a challenge to catch him.”

     

    2. Noah Lyles

     

    Another American star on Bolt’s list is Noah Lyles, the reigning world champion in the 200m and one of the sport’s most charismatic figures. Lyles has often drawn comparisons to Bolt due to his engaging personality, showmanship, and dominance over the half-lap distance. His personal best of 19.31 seconds ranks him third all-time, behind Bolt and Yohan Blake. “Noah has that energy, that spark,” Bolt said. “I love watching him run, and I wish we could have battled over 200 meters. That would’ve been something for the fans.”

     

    3. Ferdinand Omanyala

     

    In a surprising twist, Bolt also named Kenyan sprinter Ferdinand Omanyala—Africa’s fastest man and one of the most exciting talents in the 100m. Omanyala’s rapid rise and fearless racing style have made headlines, especially in a region not traditionally known for sprinting. “Ferdinand brings something different,” Bolt noted. “He’s got heart, and he runs with such purpose. I admire that. I would’ve loved to test myself against him.”

     

    Bolt’s remarks come at a time when sprinting is experiencing a resurgence, with new stars emerging and records being threatened. Yet, despite his unparalleled accomplishments, the Jamaican icon remains a fan of the sport first, expressing genuine admiration for the next generation.

     

    “I’ve raced the best of my time,” he concluded. “But I would have loved one or two more races—to feel that fire, that competition. It’s what drove me.”

     

    As the sprinting world evolves, Bolt’s legacy as the gold standard remains intact. But his longing for missed rivalries reminds us that even legends have unfinished business.

     

     

     

     

     

  • Some Milan players ‘guilty of abandoning the ship’ after having ‘contributed to sinking it’ – SempreMilan

    Some Milan players ‘guilty of abandoning the ship’ after having ‘contributed to sinking it’ – SempreMilan

    The AC Milan management will take most of the blame for the 2024-25 season, but some players are hiding from their accountability too.

    As MilanNews write, the leadership created a real sporting (and economic) disaster with the management of the contractual situations of Theo Hernandez and Mike Maignan is beyond any doubt, and the last season was compromised by poor recruitment.

    The discussions for the renewal of Theo have never really got going, while CEO Giorgio Furlani and co. never formalised the verbal agreement reached in February with Maignan, which is believed to have annoyed him.

    Igli Tare and Massimiliano Allegri’s attempts to get the case back on track seem to be futile, with the French national team’s starting goalkeeper already having his head in the Premier League and in London, with Chelsea.

    The Blues have not yet come close to matching the Rossoneri’s valuation of the player, but signals from various quarters suggest that the deal will be done at some point. Enzo Maresca’s team has set a very tight deadline due to the Club World Cup, so it won’t take long to know the final outcome.

    V

    Abandoning the ship

    Having acknowledged this series of errors by the management, it is equally correct to launch into another type of reflection: the players did not provide a sufficient level of performance for long enough to finish above eighth place.

    Playing at Milan this season must certainly have been difficult, but what was seen on the field was often disastrous. MilanNews also recall an incident where Maignan himself responded with ‘arrogance and haughtiness’ to a legitimate question from one of their journalists.

    The question was: “Given that even with two different coaches the music doesn’t change and the season is disastrous, what do you need at Milanello?” His reply: “We need people like you who tell us what to do.”

    All the alibis and excuses in the world can be found and many are even quite valid, but that the ‘key’ players have betrayed Milan often in times of need cannot go unnoticed. So, as the title says, ‘players are abandoning the ship after having contributed to sinking it’.

  • Terrion Arnold making an impact on new Detroit Lions veterans

    Terrion Arnold making an impact on new Detroit Lions veterans

     

    Normally it’s veterans helping young players in this league, but Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold is reversing that role with two new players.

     

    Terrion Arnold was one of the many players who we didn’t end up seeing on the field during OTAs, as the Detroit Lions were overly cautious with many players during their spring practices. However, talking to some of the players who were in attendance, it appears the second-year cornerback is still managing to make a positive impact with the team.

     

    Normally with a young player like Arnold, they are taking in as much information as they can and being a sponge. With two new veteran additions to the secondary—cornerback D.J. Reed and defensive back Avonte Maddox—Arnold now has a couple of resources to learn from in what could be a Year 2-jump season.

     

    However, according to both players, Arnold is giving as much as he’s getting. For Reed, Arnold—who has remained in Detroit during the offseason program—has been a great asset when it comes to learning the Lions’ defensive scheme.

     

    “He hit me up a couple of days ago when I was practicing, and he was basically watching my film for me and telling me what I need to work on,” Reed said during OTAs. “And he was correct, too, with what he emphasized I needed to work on. So the next day, I went and worked on that.”

     

    Yes, you read that right. A second-year cornerback is out there watching practice film of an eight-year veteran and offering sound advice. Pretty darn impressive for a 22-year-old.

     

    His youth is also coming in handy. Avonte Maddox is also entering his eighth NFL season, and he thrives off the youthful energy that Arnold, along with Ennis Rakestraw (23 years old), Kerby Joseph (24), and Brian Branch (23), brings to the room. Here’s how he explained it to Detroit Football Network.

     

    “(Terrion Arnold) is actually No. 1. I’m always telling him to take his medicine, calm him down a little bit,” Maddox said. “…It lifts me up. It makes me feel like I’m back to when I was their age, just cracking jokes. They’re like, what? 21? 22? I’m 29. I was jumping off the porch and walking around school when they were coming out the womb.”

     

    Arnold is coming off the type of rookie season you’d expect from a first-round cornerback. There were flashes of really solid play mixed with a lot of learning opportunities. That experience alone should help him progress in 2025. However, defensive backs coach Deshea Townsend noted that Arnold is also going the extra mile this offseason.

     

    “I think any expectation any time you get a chance to have as many reps as he had, it helps you,” Townsend said. “The only way you can get better is getting a chance to rep. He understands how they’re attacking him, and he found out about himself. ‘What do I do best? How can I make those strengths stronger, and my weaknesses, what do I do now, this offseason, to make them better?’ Just conversating throughout the process, before he got back.

     

    “Then he grabbed me right now; we were in the office watching a tape just now. He is trying to be the best player he can be, and that’s what it takes. You have to work on your craft. You have to find out how you can get better in the offseason. He’s working (on) that.”
