Breaking news: Favour Ofili finally dumps Nigeria, set to receive $500,000 base payment in Turkey

World and Nigerian record Favour Ofili has reportedly switched allegiance to Turkey as of May 31, 2025. She made the decision citing the incompetency of the AFN.

Record-breaking Favour Ofili has reportedly dumped Nigeria for money-recruiting Turkey, where she’s set to earn a $500,000 base payment that can rise to $1,000,000 if the move is completed.

Popularly known as ‘Star Girl’, the 22-year-old speedster who recently clocked a World Record of 15.85s in the 150m at the Adidas Atlanta City Games, has requested a switch of allegiance to Turkey and will no longer don the green and white colours of Nigeria.

Favour Ofili is highly rated as one of the next big names in women’s sprint division

According to reports, Ofili made the decision, expressing her frustration to the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) with the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN). – a move triggered by years of neglect. She started the process on May 31st and the same AFN leadership was re-elected this June.

The highly talented speedster after hitting the 100m standard for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, AFN and the Nigerian NOC failed to enter her name – the second time she’s missed an Olympic event due to federation mishandling.

In 2021, she also missed the Tokyo Olympics 200m after AFN & NADC failed to get her tested in time, affecting 13 other athletes.

Turkey is currently conducting extensive recruitment of top international athletes, particularly from Jamaica and countries with less favorable federations.

Their recruitment drive is operating with urgency as the athletes must acquire Turkish citizenship and residency before the end of this month in order to satisfy the three-year eligibility rule enforced by World Athletics for the 2028 Olympic Games.

The athletes who accept the nationality switch are set to receive an upfront payment of at least $500,000 per athlete, and promises of substantial monthly stipends and performance bonuses.

Reports indicate that they plan to recruit up to 15 athletes for the LA2028 Olympics, prioritizing the women’s 4x100m relay. Alongside Ofili, a promising Jamaican female sprinter has also been approached in recent days.

Ofili is highly rated as one of the next big names in the women’s sprint division, and she’s seen as a future Olympic and world medallist.

Her Personal Bests’ in the 100m are: legal 10.93s (-0.7) in 2022, windy 10.78s (+2.2), and 10.85s (+2.6), both in 2024. And in the 200m, she’s the Nigerian Record holder indoors and outdoors at 22.11s and 21.96s respectively.

WVU Lands in Top Two of CBS Sports’ Roster Grades for First-Year Coaches

Morgantown, West Virginia, USA; West Virginia Mountaineers running back Jahiem White (1) runs the ball during the first quarter against the Baylor Bears at Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium.

All offseason long, the national media have brutally graded West Virginia’s roster and set expectations extremely low for Rich Rodriguez in his first year back at the helm, and rightfully so. Over 70 newcomers will be on the roster this season, which means chemistry is almost non-existent heading into August.

The top-line talent WVU has should be good enough to compete in the Big 12, but the depth appears to be the coaching staff’s biggest concern. If the starting units can stay healthy and gel early in the season, they should be in a good position to reach a bowl game.

David Cobb of CBS Sports recently graded each year one roster of each Power Four program with a new coach. He has WVU second with a B, checking in right behind North Carolina, and ahead of Wake Forest, UCF, Purdue, and Stanford.

“Rodriguez’s revamped roster features several productive defensive additions from the portal, including 2024 AAC Defensive Player of the Year Jimmori Robinson at defensive end. Robinson led the AAC with 10.5 sacks last season at UTSA and is one of several transfer-up pieces who will determine the ceiling of a unit led by ex-Oklahoma defensive coordinator Zac Alley.

Where the talent — or perhaps money — appears to run out is along the offensive line. If the Mountaineers can figure that group out, don’t doubt Rodriguez’s ability to produce a good offense. But the skill position groups aren’t talented enough to overcome poor line play. However, top QB candidates Nicco Marchiol and Jaylen Henderson are both mobile, which should come in handy if and when things break down.”

I will disagree on one thing here…the skill groups aren’t as bad as Cobb believes. The backfield is in pretty good shape with Jahiem White returning and Jaylan Knighton (SMU transfer) and Tye Edwards (Northern Iowa transfer) now in the mix.

At wide receiver, Cam Vaughn is a star in the making, and they have some veterans who have performed well at the lower levels, including Jeff Weimer, Logan Ramper, Justin Smith-Brown, etc., and also have Jaden Bray back and healthy. The receiver group is a pretty big question mark, but they have enough capable bodies in that room to find a few answers. As far as the offensive line goes, yeah, that might be a struggle.

Gout Gout’s 200m Return, Femke Bol vs Salwa Eid Naser 400m | Ostrava Continental Tour Preview

The 2025 edition of the Ostrava Golden Spike Continental Tour meeting promises fireworks, as sprint sensations prepare to clash and rising stars return to the spotlight. With headline events including Gout Gout’s highly anticipated return to the 200m and a blockbuster women’s 400m showdown between Femke Bol and Salwa Eid Naser, Ostrava is set to deliver top-tier drama and athletic brilliance.

Gout Gout: The Return of a Sprint Prodigy

Gout Gout, the South Sudanese teenage sprint marvel, is making his much-awaited return to the 200m track after a brief hiatus to manage workload and recovery. At just 17, Gout stunned the athletics world with his astonishing 20.12-second run in 2024, making him one of the fastest juniors in history. Now back in shape and reportedly training with new intensity, Gout enters Ostrava aiming to reassert his place among the future elite of sprinting.

His performance in Ostrava will be closely watched not only for the time he clocks, but for signs of growth in technique, race strategy, and consistency. This meet will also test his ability to compete against more seasoned sprinters in the European circuit. If he breaks 20.10 or edges close to it, Gout will solidify his potential as a medal contender heading into the World U20 Championships and even as a dark horse for senior-level relay inclusion later this year.

Femke Bol vs Salwa Eid Naser: Clash of the Quarter-Mile Titans

On the women’s side, the most electrifying event on the slate is the 400m showdown between two global superstars: the Netherlands’ Femke Bol and Bahrain’s Salwa Eid Naser. Bol, who dominated the 400m hurdles in recent years and made a smooth transition back to the flat 400m, comes into Ostrava in sublime form, having recently posted a 49.34 — the world lead for 2025.

Facing her is Salwa Eid Naser, the 2019 World Champion and one of only three women to ever break the 48-second barrier. Naser has been on a redemption arc since returning from suspension, gradually building her form and rhythm. Her presence in Ostrava signals both confidence and hunger — she’s aiming to remind the world of her blistering top-end speed and close the gap on Bol in what could become a major rivalry heading into the Paris World Championships.

This race isn’t just a battle of speed, but also of styles. Bol’s strength and endurance over the final 100 meters contrast with Naser’s explosive start and aggressive early splits. The clash of these approaches will make for a fascinating tactical spectacle, and potentially the fastest 400m outside a global championship this season.

Ostrava: A Crucible for Champions

Beyond these marquee events, the Ostrava meeting remains a pivotal stop on the World Athletics Continental Tour Gold circuit. It serves as both a proving ground for emerging talent and a mid-season gauge for elite athletes fine-tuning their championship form. With just weeks remaining before the European Championships and global qualification deadlines looming, performances here carry significant weight.

From rising stars like Gout Gout to the return of sprint legends like Salwa Eid Naser and the sustained brilliance of Femke Bol, Ostrava 2025 looks set to offer the perfect blend of youth, redemption, and rivalr

Ola Aina reacts excitedly to confirmed Nottingham Forest news

Nuno Espirito Santo Ola Aina Nottingham ForestAasif Rahman

Ola Aina joined a number of Nottingham Forest players to react as the club made an official announcement regarding manager Nuno Espirito Santo’s future.

Nottingham Forest enjoyed an impressive 2024/25 Premier League campaign, even though the final day ended in disappointment as they narrowly missed out on Champions League qualification.

Nuno guided Forest to a seventh-place finish, securing European football at the City Ground for the first time in decades with a spot in next season’s UEFA Conference League.

Despite the progress, concerns had emerged in recent weeks over Nuno’s future at the club.

Tensions boiled over when owner Evangelos Marinakis stormed onto the Forest pitch following an incident involving Taiwo Awoniyi in the match against Leicester, with footage showing him to be frustrated with the manager.

The scenes left many Nottingham Forest fans worried that Nuno could be dismissed, particularly after reports of a clear disagreement between manager and owner.

However, those fears have now been eased following an announcement from the club on the head coach’s future.

Nottingham Forest agree new Nuno Espirito Santo contract

Despite recent speculation over Nuno’s position, Nottingham Forest’s hierarchy have made it clear they’re backing their manager for the long term.

On 21 June, the club officially announced that Nuno has signed a new contract running until 2028.

View Instagram Post

The news prompted a wave of positive responses from players on Instagram, with Aina among those showing support, alongside the likes of Neco Williams and Ryan Yates.

Nuno initially replaced Steve Cooper in December 2023 and successfully guided the club to safety, with Forest surviving on the final day of the 2023/24 season.

Last season, as well as a European place, he also led them to the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time since 1991, adding another highlight to a resurgent campaign.

Nottingham Forest face competition from Chelsea for Malick Fofana

With Nuno now secured, attention has turned towards strengthening the squad ahead of their return to European football.

Report suggest Nottingham Forest are interested in signing Lyon winger Malick Fofana, but face stiff competition from Chelsea, who have already made contact with the French club regarding a potential deal.

The club are also exploring alternatives, with Football Insider reporting that Norwich City winger Borja Sainz is a target for Forest, who look to improve depth across the squad.

Reinforcements are expected this summer, especially with the majority of the team set to experience European competition for the first time.

How much does motocross gear cost for kids? Parents say it’s worth every penny

Several two-wheeled sports enthusiasts from Gorj, Mehedinți, Dolj, Hunedoara and Caraș-Severin met at the edge of a forest where they revved their engines to the max. Albert is one of those who participated in the demonstrations and got on a motorcycle for the first time when he had barely learned to walk. “I’ve been practicing this sport since I was 4 years old. I got this sport from my father. He also did enduro ,” said Albert Mitroi.

Price of equipment for a 10-year-old child

Those at the beginning of the journey watched the demonstrations with bated breath. Because there are many young people who spend their time on two wheels, the authorities plan to set up a circuit for motocross and enduro. “Children should do sports. Let them exercise. Next year, we will definitely have a motocross track. It is a demanding sport, but it is worth it, ” said Ion Popescu , mayor of Drăguteşti.

Butterfly invasion in the Capital. What is the gamma owl and where did it come from in Romania?

Parents confirm this, but they say that the effort is worth it because they spend time outdoors and not in front of screens. “Quite expensive, but you know it’s worth every penny.

We want to make them love this sport, to get out of the toxic environment of bars, terraces, computers,” said Cristi Tudor, a parent. “A basic budget for a 10-year-old child, just for equipment, would be somewhere around 2,000 lei ,” said Adrian Stolojan , a motorcycle shop representative. The participants had a complete experience. From learning off-road riding techniques to developing coordination skills.

Alabama AD makes stance on cutting sports for Crimson Tide clea

Alabama-AD-Greg-Byrne-emphasizing-Crimson-Tide-not-cutting-non-revenue-sports

Since the NCAA was founded in 1906, institutions have never directly paid athletes. That will now change with the passing of the House v. NCAA settlement on June 6, ushering in the revenue-sharing era of college sports.

Beginning July 1, schools will be able to share $20.5 million with athletes, with football expected to receive 75%, followed by men’s basketball (15%), women’s basketball (5%) and the remainder of sports (5%). The amount shared in revenue will increase annually.

With this colossal change in the college sports landscape affecting everyone from the top down, Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne was asked by 105.5 WNSP Friday morning about what this case will do to non-revenue sports. Specifically, Byrne was asked if Alabama would have to discontinue some of those programs at the university.

“We’re gonna try everything we can to have that not be the case,” Byrne said, per Mike Rodak. “We have one team that makes a healthy profit in football. We have one that turns a profit in men’s basketball. However, we have 19 that don’t. Football has been the sport that has historically supported the department, and the investments we’ve made in the young men in our football program I’m very proud of, both from a revenue-sharing standpoint but also what we do holistically with the young men.”

“As far as how many sports we have, it’s a hard model. There’s no doubt about it. But at the same time, too, I believe in the model and I think it’s something worth investing in and we continue to plan to do so here at the University of Alabama.”

Byrne gets into the weeds to discuss Alabama’s plan

Earlier this week, Byrne explained Alabama‘s plan for dividing revenue sharing in the near future. Along with football and men’s basketball, the university supports varsity teams in women’s basketball, baseball, women’s soccer, softball, volleyball, tennis, golf, cross country, swimming and diving and track and field.

That’s not all, though. Alabama also supports club sports in crew, cricket, cycling, disc golf, ice hockey, lacrosse, racquetball, rugby, soccer, team handball, tennis, Ultimate, wheelchair basketball, water polo, water skiing and wrestling.

Inquest Opens into Motocross Rider Who Died in Mildenhall

An inquest has officially opened into the tragic death of a motocross rider who lost his life during a practice session at a track in Mildenhall, Suffolk. The incident, which occurred earlier this year, sent shockwaves through the local motorsports community and raised questions about safety measures at motocross facilities.

The rider, identified as 24-year-old Thomas “Tommy” Harris from Cambridgeshire, was fatally injured during a routine session at the Mildenhall motocross track on the outskirts of town. According to initial reports, Harris lost control of his bike while approaching a jump and sustained critical injuries in the resulting crash. Despite the swift response of on-site medical staff and emergency services, he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The inquest, held at Suffolk Coroner’s Court in Ipswich, opened with statements from family members, witnesses, and first responders. Senior coroner Nigel Parsley described the hearing as an important step in establishing the full circumstances of Harris’s death.

“This inquest is not about attributing blame, but understanding what occurred on that day,” Mr. Parsley said. “It is also an opportunity to examine whether further safety protocols could be recommended or enforced to prevent future fatalities.”

Harris, a seasoned motocross enthusiast, had been riding since his early teens and was considered experienced by friends and fellow riders. His death has prompted an outpouring of grief and tributes across social media, where many remembered him as a talented, kind, and passionate individual who loved the sport and inspired younger riders.

A statement read during the inquest from Harris’s parents described him as “a son full of life, always pushing boundaries, and bringing joy to everyone who knew him.” They also expressed a desire to see improved safety oversight at motocross venues nationwide.

The track where the incident occurred is a popular destination for amateur and semi-professional riders in the region. It remains open but has faced scrutiny following the fatal accident. A spokesperson for the venue said that they are cooperating fully with investigators and that safety remains a top priority.

“We are deeply saddened by this tragic event. Our thoughts are with Tommy’s family and loved ones. We are committed to reviewing all procedures and working with the relevant authorities to ensure the highest safety standards are maintained,” the spokesperson said.

As the inquest continues, experts from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and motocross safety organizations are expected to provide testimony on the design and management of the track, emergency response protocols, and rider protection measures.

The coroner is expected to deliver a verdict in the coming weeks. The findings could lead to recommendations for changes in how motocross tracks operate, particularly in terms of risk assessments, rider briefings, and on-site medical preparedness.

Harris’s death is a sobering reminder of the inherent risks in motorsport and has reignited calls from campaigners and families for improved regulation and oversight across the s.

Anavia Battle, Julien Alfred, and the top sprinters on unbeaten streak in the 2025 season

The 2025 season has been loaded with lots of top performances by sprinters who have maintained an unbeaten streak in their major events and races.

Top athletes like Anavia Battle and Julien Alfred remain undefeated this season, demonstrating their incredible form leading up to the World Championships in Tokyo this summer.

Here’s a lowdown of these athletes and how their season has been so far.

Anavia Battle

The American sprint star extended her unbeaten streak this season to seven after another impressive win at the Paris Diamond League, where she blazed to a brilliant 200m win in a Season’s Best (SB) of 22.27s.

Battle has been in tremendous form this year, winning her fourth consecutive Diamond League race to lead the women’s 200m standings. She’s surely a top challenger for a spot on the US team to the World Championships in Tokyo.

Kenny Bednarek

Currently the best male sprinter in the world, Bednarek has remained unbeaten in the 100m and 200m events.

Despite choosing to compete at the Grand Slam Track league, the Paris Olympics 200m silver medallist dominated both events in all three cities (Kingston, Miami, and Philadelphia) to be crowned Men’s Racer of the Year.

Bednarek is No2 on the world list this year in both events, just 0.02s and 0.01s behind the leaders Trayvon Bromell (9.84s) and T’Mars Mccallum (19.83s), which confirms his form as the man to beat before the world championships in Tokyo.

Julien Alfred

Like Bednarek, Saint Lucia’s golden girl is undoubtedly the best female sprinter in the world, remaining undefeated in both the 100m and 200m events.

Julien Alfred in Oslo

Olympic champion Julien Alfred

The Olympic champion had back-to-back Diamond League 100m wins in Oslo and Stockholm, and her SB of 10.75s is currently No.2 in the world. In the 200m, she peaks on the top list this year at 21.88s, making her the top contender to claim the sprint world titles in Tokyo.

Melissa Jefferson-Wooden

Another standout female performer this year, Jefferson-Wooden is undefeated in the 100m and has only been defeated once in the 200m.

She dominated the women’s short sprints category at the Grand Sland Track, with her highlight performances coming in Philadelphia, where she clocked 100m world-leading and Personal Best (PB) of 10.73s and defeated Olympic champion Gabby Thomas in the 200m also in a PB of 21.99s.

Interestingly, Jefferson-Wooden and Alfred are yet to face off in any race this year. However, this will change as both alongside Sha’Carri Richardson, have been provisionally confirmed for 100m match-up at the Prefontaine Classic Diamond League on July 5.

Trayvon Bromell and Akani Simbine

The iconic sprinters are undefeated in the 100m. Bromell is the world leader at 9.84s, and Simbine is on his sixth streak this year with his last race at the Rabat Diamond League, where he clocked 9.95s.

Sky: Milan prepare new offer for Valencia star after €20m bid was rebuffed – the latest

AC Milan strongly believe in Javi Guerra and are preparing a new offer to Valencia, according to a report.

Milan have been heavily linked with Guerra in the last few days, and multiple reports claimed a bid worth around €20m was sent earlier in the week. It was rejected, because Valencia plan to ask for at least €25m to sell their midfield star.

Guerra: New bid ready

Sky confirm that Milan want to strengthen the midfield and are preparing a new offer to Valencia for Guerra. The first one was worth €16m plus €4m in add-ons and was not considered adequate by the Spanish club.

Having said goodbye to Tijjani Reijnders, it is time for Milan to strengthen the middle of the park and in addition to Luka Modric (plus possibly Granit Xhaka) the Rossoneri are trying to buy Guerra.

The Rossoneri directors are preparing an improved bid from a fixed base point of view, hoping that it will be the right one to convince the LaLiga side. They are tough to negotiate with as the Yunus Musah pursuit showed.

Milan decided to focus on the Spain U21 international because he has a rare mix of technical and physical qualities. Standing at 1.87m tall he has size but also technical ability, racking up three goals and three assists in 36 appearances in La Liga last season.
