Jamaica’s Shericka Jackson edges ever closer to Flo-Jo’s record in 200

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 06:14:34 GMT

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Jamaica’s Shericka Jackson edged a bit closer to breaking a world record that has sat in the books for a generation. While it didn’t happen Friday, there’s a sense it might happen soon.Jackson defended her world title at 200 meters in 21.41 seconds, a scant .07 off the mark Florence Griffith-Joyner set at the Seoul Olympics in 1988.Until two years ago, no other woman had cracked 21.6, so when somebody asked Jackson if she was disappointed not to break Flo-Jo’s mark, she scoffed.“For me to run 21.41 and you ask me if I’m disappointed — definitely not,” Jackson said. “It’s a personal best. So I am just grateful.”The victory came four nights after Jackson finished second in the 100. That one was nice, she said, “but the 200 is my baby.”Her 21.41 goes next to the 21.45 she ran to win worlds last year in Eugene, Oregon. She and Jamaican teammate Elaine Thompson-Herah are the only women other than Flo-Jo to run under 21.6, thoug...

MATCHDAY: Arsenal hosts Fulham, PSG plays Lens

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 06:14:34 GMT

A look at what’s happening in European soccer on Saturday:ENGLANDArsenal and Brighton go for their third straight wins to open the Premier League season when they host Fulham and West Ham, respectively. While Arsenal is expected to be among the title contenders, Brighton is more of a surprise even if the team has become more of a force under the astute management of Roberto De Zerbi. Brighton has lost central midfielders Alexis Mac Allister and Moises Caicedo this summer yet still has scored four goals in each of its two victories so far. Everton has no points and no goals heading into a home match against Wolverhampton, which has also lost its opening two games. Manchester United, on three points, has been underwhelming ahead of hosting Nottingham Forest, while Brentford is at home to Crystal Palace and Tottenham travels to Bournemouth. ITALYAfter a goalscoring debut last week, Christian Pulisic will be hoping for more of the same in his first match at San Siro, when AC Milan hosts...

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A year ago, Matt Rhule was not in a good place. He was about to break training camp with the Carolina Panthers and dealing with a host of injury and personnel issues that hastened his firing five games into the season.Six days before his first game as Nebraska’s coach, he showed a sunny demeanor much like he has in previous meetings with the media since he arrived in Lincoln almost nine months ago.“I’m having the time of my life, I really am,” he said Friday. “So this is as happy as I’ve been in a really, really long time. My family’s here now. My girls are happy, my family’s happy, my wife’s happy, the son’s doing well. I really enjoy this team.”It’s been a whirlwind for the 48-year-old Rhule since Nebraska landed him as one of the splash hires of the 2022-23 coaching cycle.Rhule and his assistants have visited towns and cities across the state to immerse themselves in its passion for football and build relationships with high school coa...

A retired D.C. lieutenant who fatally shot a trainee during an instructional exercise for library police officers last summer has been sentenced to three years behind bars.In June, 59-year-old Jesse Porter pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter while armed and unlawful discharge of a firearm in the death of 25-year-old Maurica Manyan at the Anacostia library in August 2022.The sentence handed down by Judge Anthony Epstein on Friday was the minimum under sentencing guidelines, sparking an angry, emotional outburst from members of Manyan’s family, many of whom gave wrenching victim-impact statements during Friday’s hearing.Prosecutors had asked for seven years.Earlier this year, Porter, a 33-year veteran of the D.C. police department, was indicted by a grand jury on a more serious charge of second-degree murder in Manyan’s death, but he was later offered a plea deal on the lesser offense — a move that was sharply criticized by the Manyan family.What happened in t...

Massachusetts’ highest court ruled that the state does have the authority to enforce its own securities standards for brokerages in a “landmark” decision that has some observers hoping reforms will soon follow.“I am pleased and gratified that the Court has ruled that our Fiduciary Rule is an appropriate exercise of my authority under the Massachusetts Uniform Securities Act,” Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin said following the Friday ruling by the Supreme Judicial Court.“This landmark decision affirms the fiduciary duty of brokers to their customers and vindicates the role of my Securities Division to principally, but aggressively protect investors and police broker-dealer misconduct,” he continued.Galvin in 2020 filed a complaint against Robinhood, which offers trading via its website and mobile apps, complaining of the platform’s gamification of trading by advising customers, the SJC summarizes, “without considering whether those recommendations were in each cust...
