World marathon record holder Kelvin Kiptum and his coach Gervais Hakizimana died in a car crash in western Kenya that left a third passenger injured, police said Sunday (Feb 11).

The 24-year-old was driving from Kaptaget to Eldoret in western Kenya around 11 pm (2000 GMT) on Saturday (Feb 10) when the car rolled.

"The accident happened around 11 pm (2000 GMT). The car had three occupants, two died on the spot, while one was taken to hospital. The two are Kiptum and his coach," said Peter Mulinge, police commander for Elgeyo Marakwet County in western Kenya.

"It is Kiptum who was driving heading to Eldoret and the vehicle lost control and rolled, killing the two on the spot. A female passenger sustained injuries and has been rushed to hospital," he told reporters.

World Athletics President Sebastian Coe said he was "shocked and saddened to learn of the devastating loss".

"On behalf of all World Athletics, we send our deepest condolences to their families, friends, teammates and the Kenyan nation," Coe said in a statement.

"An incredible athlete leaving an incredible legacy, we will miss him dearly."

Kiptum ran a world record 2:00:35 in the Chicago Marathon in October, taking 34 seconds off fellow Kenyan Eliud Kipchoge's previous record.

Kiptum's run marked the third time a men's world record had been set on the streets of Chicago but the first time since Morocco's Khalid Khannouchi in 1999.

At the time, Kiptum was only 23 years old and competing in his third marathon.

World Athletics said Kiptum had not raced since then, but he had been due to compete at the Rotterdam Marathon in April where he was hoping to become the first man to break two hours for the marathon on a record-eligible course.

Kiptum won in his debut in 2022 at Valencia and then in the London Marathon in April last year.

Hakizimana, who is from Rwanda, was a runner who trained for years in Kenya, where he met Kiptum in the youth's village of Chepkorio.

Ten years ago, barely a teen, Kiptum herded goats and sheep then began following Hakizimana and other runners as they trained.

By 2019, Kiptum ran two half-marathons in two weeks, going 60:48 in Copenhagen and 59:53 in Belfort, France, and began training with Hakizimana, who stayed in Kenya when the COVID-19 pandemic struck.

Substitute forward Kelechi Iheanacho and goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali played key roles as Nigeria beat South Africa 4-2 on penalties on Wednesday (Feb 7) in an Africa Cup of Nations semi-final thriller.

Substitute forward Kelechi Iheanacho and goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali played key roles as Nigeria beat South Africa 4-2 on penalties on Wednesday (Feb 7) in an Africa Cup of Nations semi-final thriller. The three-time champions will face hosts Ivory Coast, who dominated the Democratic Republic of Congo but had to settle for a 1-0 win in Abidjan, in the final on Sunday. Nigeria triumphed after a 1-1 draw following extra time in Bouake in the latest of many dramatic matches at this biennial African football showpiece. "Our team has a huge state of mind. The team fights together, There are 25 of us (in the squad and) it's difficult to beat us," said Nigeria coach Jose Peseiro. "Deep down, thinking about that second cancelled (Nigerian) goal and the (South African equaliser), a lot of teams would have given up. "I am very happy, the players are happy, they deserve it, we deserve it, the Super Eagles deserve it, the Nigerian people deserve it." South Africa coach Hugo Broos said: "Football can be cruel. You play a bad match against Cape Verde, you win on penalties. You play a very good match against Nigeria and lose on penalties." Iheanacho from English second-tier club Leicester City had been an unused substitute in the five group and knockout matches that took the Super Eagles to the semi-finals. He was thrust into action by Portuguese Peseiro for the first time after 102 minutes against South Africa and calmly converted the decisive spot-kick. Nwabali, who plays for South African top-flight club Chippa United, saved shootout kicks from Teboho Mokoena and Evidence Makgopa. Peseiro, a long-time backer of under-fire incumbent shot-stopper Francis Uzoho, dropped him for the opening group match against Equatorial Guinea and Nwabali has been an ever present. Nwabali conceded once in a draw with the Equatoguineans, then kept four clean sheets before being beaten by a Mokoena penalty in the 90th minute of regular time. Mudau miss Nigeria had taken the lead 23 minutes earlier, also from a penalty, which captain William Troost-Ekong converted. Khuliso Mudau had a great chance to win the match for South Africa just before extra time but blazed over from close range. South Africa captain and goalkeeper Ronwen Williams, who saved four kicks in a quarter-final shootout win over Cape Verde, could not stop a single kick. Before Iheanacho netted, fellow substitutes Terem Moffi and Kenneth Omeruo and Troost-Ekong converted penalties and Ola Aina blazed over. In an absorbing match watched by a 32,000 crowd, Nigeria thought they had taken a two-goal lead on 85 minutes when star forward Victor Osimhen scored. But play was called back to the other end and, after the Egyptian referee checked the pitchside VAR monitor, he awarded South Africa the penalty that Mokoena netted. Also read | AFCON: Ivory Coast stun AFCON holders Senegal Reigning African Player of the Year Osimhen, who started the match after recovering from abdominal discomfort, was substituted in extra time after another tireless performance. South Africa played the final seven minutes with 10 men after Grant Kekana was shown a straight red card for a last-defender foul on Moffi. The win sparked celebrations back in Nigeria. "For the first time in a long time we are excited, we are happy Nigeria beat South Africa," supporter Peace Nwanro said in Lagos. "Nigeria will keep winning." It will be the eighth final appearance by Nigeria, who were champions in 1980, 1994 and 2013, and the fourth by 1992 and 2015 title winners Ivory Coast. Later, after the seesaw struggle for supremacy in Bouake, the Ivory Coast continued a remarkable comeback in the tournament by defeating DR Congo. Sebastien Haller was the 65th-minute match-winner as his boot connected with a cross and the ball struck the ground, then rose over goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi and into the net. Haller had missed the group stage through injury before making his first appearance in a shock last-16 victory over Senegal. After a humiliating 4-0 thrashing by Equatorial Guinea in the group stage, the Ivorians squeezed into the knockout phase as the last of the four third-placed teams who qualified. But the embarrassment of a record home loss to the Equatoguineans was forgotten as Franck Kessie was denied by the woodwork and Haller missed a great chance before becoming the hero.

In a new collaboration, Fox Corp, Disney, and Warner Bros Discovery announced on Tuesday their plans to introduce a joint sports streaming service in the upcoming autumn, aiming to capture the attention of younger audiences increasingly turning away from traditional television. <o:p></o:p>

This is based on a Reuters report.<o:p></o:p>

This move involves the formation of a joint venture that will leverage the extensive portfolio of professional and collegiate sports rights held by the media giants, spanning leagues such as the NFL, NBA, MLB, FIFA World Cup, and college competitions. <o:p></o:p>

The yet-to-be-named service will offer a comprehensive package, combining traditional television channels like ESPN, TNT, and FS1 with streamed sports content. <o:p></o:p>

Subscribers will also have the option to access it as part of streaming bundles offered by Disney+, Hulu, or Max. <o:p></o:p>

"This means the full suite of ESPN channels will be available to consumers alongside the sports programming of other leaders," Reuters quoted Disney CEO Bob Iger, as saying.<o:p></o:p>

The collaboration aims to create a platform that caters to a diverse range of sports, capturing a broad audience and maximising the potential upside. <o:p></o:p>

Gershon, representing Fox Corp, emphasised the logic behind the deal, suggesting a shared approach to handling the escalating costs of sports rights and creating a platform that appeals to a wide spectrum of sports enthusiasts.<o:p></o:p>

The idea for this sports-centric service has been in discussions among the CEOs for some time. <o:p></o:p>

The collaboration is not seen as a replacement for Disney's flagship ESPN television network or Fox's FS1, which already hold a strong presence among traditional sports fans on TV. <o:p></o:p>

Instead, the partners view the new platform as providing additional choice for consumers, recognising the evolving landscape of sports consumption outside the traditional TV model.<o:p></o:p>

The service is expected to offer passionate fans, beyond the confines of the traditional bundle, a comprehensive and consolidated source for diverse sports content.<o:p></o:p>

Reuters cited Fox Chief Executive Lachlan Murdoch, who said, "We believe the service will provide passionate fans outside of the traditional bundle an array of amazing sports content all in one place." <o:p></o:p>

The new entity resulting from this collaboration will be jointly owned by the three media companies, each having equal board representation. <o:p></o:p>

Sports content will be licensed on a non-exclusive basis, and the operation of the new entity will be managed by an independent management team. <o:p></o:p>

The initiative signals a recognition of the market for sports outside the traditional television model and provides an additional avenue for these media companies to monetise the increasingly expensive sports rights.<o:p></o:p>

David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Bros Discovery, emphasised the industry's ability to drive innovation and offer consumers more choice, enjoyment, and value through the new sports service. <o:p></o:p>

Disney's previous indications of seeking strategic partners and investors for ESPN align with the broader industry focus on profitability in streaming. <o:p></o:p>

Activist investor Nelson Peltz has suggested that Disney can achieve streaming profitability by bundling its ESPN+ online service with a larger player interested in sports, a strategy that resonates with the collaborative approach taken by Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros Discovery.<o:p></o:p>

Pep Guardiola said Phil Foden is enjoying his best season at Manchester City after the England international's hat-trick beat Brentford 3-1 on Monday (Feb 5) to leave the Premier League's top three separated by just two points.

Pep Guardiola said Phil Foden is enjoying his best season at Manchester City after the England international's hat-trick beat Brentford 3-1 on Monday (Feb 5) to leave the Premier League's top three separated by just two points. City move alongside Arsenal on 49 points, two behind Liverpool, but Guardiola's men have a game in hand to move out in front. The defending champions became the first side in Premier League history to win four consecutive away games despite falling behind in all of them. Neal Maupay fired the Bees in front against the run of play, but there was little doubt over the outcome once Foden levelled in first-half stoppage time. Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland then teed up the England international to complete his second career hat-trick after the break. "He's a guy with a sense of goal," said Guardiola after Foden took his tally for the season to 14. "I think he is playing his best season since we are together. The incidence of goals and assists, of playing in this central position, are unbelievable." City's rivals for the title may rue not opening up an advantage while De Bruyne and Haaland were sidelined by injury in recent months as they look primed to become the first side to ever win four consecutive English top-flight titles. Flekken inspired Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken started the night as statistically the worst goalkeeper in the Premier League for the percentage of shots saved. However, the Dutchman was in inspired form to frustrate the champions in the opening 45 minutes as he made nine saves before the break. Brentford had barely posed any threat before they went in front on 21 minutes as City's run of just one Premier League clean sheet since October goes on. Flekken got the assist on top of his heroics at the back as from his goal-kick, Ivan Toney blocked off Nathan Ake, allowing Maupay to run clear and score for the fifth consecutive game. Haaland had a huge chance to mark his first start for two months with a goal moments later, but could not beat Flekken when sent clean through on goal. In total City had 17 efforts on goal with 10 on target in the first half and finally made their final one count. Ethan Pinnock headed De Bruyne's cross straight into the path of Foden, who controlled on his chest and swept the ball low into the corner. Eight minutes into the second period a De Bruyne delivery this time picked out the head of Foden directly to head past Flekken. Brentford rallied and had their chances to get back on level terms as Ruben Dias produced a vital block to turn Christian Norgaard's shot behind. "Those are the chances we need to take if we want to beat them - the best team in the world," said Brentford boss Thomas Frank. "It's difficult no matter what you do against City. We did a lot of things right and there were key moments where we didn't have the quality or they showed their quality." City made sure of an 11th victory in their last 12 games 20 minutes from time. Haaland may not have got his goal, but the Norwegian played his part with a perfectly weighted pass for Foden to bear down on goal and slot coolly past Flekken. The defeat leaves Brentford still just three points above the relegation zone. Arsenal's 3-1 victory over Liverpool on Sunday kept the Gunners in the race for their first league title in 20 years. But that result also played into City's hands and they remain the team to beat as the business end of the season approaches.

Kenyan police said on Monday they had arrested two people in connection with the weekend stabbing to death of Ugandan athlete Benjamin Kiplagat.

The two men -- believed to be in their 30s -- were arrested on the outskirts of the Rift Valley town of Eldoret, local police commander Stephen Okal said.

"The two suspects are known criminals who have been terrorising the members of public," Okal told AFP. &nbsp;"We are in the advanced stage of the investigations and we will possibly be sending them to court tomorrow."

The Kenyan-born Kiplagat had represented Uganda internationally in the 3,000m steeplechase, including at several Olympic Games and World Championships.

The 34-year-old's body was found in a car on Saturday night with a deep knife wound to his neck.

While the motive of the killing was still unknown, police said investigations had shown that Kiplagat had been "waylaid" by the two men before he hit their motorcycle with his car.

"This probably provoked them into that violent act," Okal told AFP, referring to the stabbing.

One of the suspects had been arrested with a knife believed to have been used in the killing, he added.

Eldoret is known for being home to numerous athletes who undergo training in the high-altitude region.

Kiplagat, whose career spanned about 18 years, won the silver medal in the 3,000m steeplechase at the 2008 World Junior Championships and bronze at the Africa Championships in 2012.

He made the semi-finals of the event in the 2012 Olympics in London and also competed in Rio in 2016.

His death follows the killing in October 2021 of Kenyan distance running star Agnes Tirop who was found stabbed to death at the age of 25 in her home at Iten, a training hub near Eldoret.

Kenyan police said on Monday they had arrested two people in connection with the weekend stabbing to death of Ugandan athlete Benjamin Kiplagat.

Nick Castellanos smashed two solo home runs for the second consecutive game and the Philadelphia Phillies beat Atlanta 3-1 on Thursday to advance in the Major League Baseball playoffs. Castellanos became the first player in MLB history to hit multiple homers in consecutive playoff games, blasting one in the fourth innings and another in the sixth.

"Incredible," Castellanos said. "These are moments I'm never going to forget."

The Phillies won the National League best-of-five second round series 3-1 and will host the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday to open the best-of-seven NL Championship Series.

"We've got eight more wins (to get)," Castellanos said of what the Phillies need to capture the World Series crown.

"We feel good. There's no question. But we'll definitely respect the competition and do what we can do."

Defending champion Houston will meet the Texas Rangers in the American League Championship Series starting on Sunday. Castellanos, a 31-year-old American outfielder, also crushed a pair of homers as part of Philadelphia's MLB record-tying six homers in Wednesday's game-three triumph over the Braves.

Atlanta had the best record in the major leagues this season, 14 games ahead of the Phillies, but the Braves were ousted in the playoffs by the Phillies for the second year in a row.

"The season and the post-season are completely different," Castellanos said.

While the Phillies were overjoyed to advance, there was major concern over a right elbow injury to first baseman Bryce Harper. The left knee of Atlanta's Matt Olson struck Harper's right elbow as the Philadelphia first baseman made a catch to end the eighth inning, leaving Harper grabbing his elbow in pain.

Harper underwent "Tommy John" ligament replacement surgery on his right elbow last November and did not rejoin the club until May.

Atlanta starting pitcher Spencer Strider, who led MLB this season with 20 wins and 286 strikeouts, was tagged for three runs off seven hits, three of them homers.

Braves outfielder Michael Harris made a sliding catch to rob Johan Rojas of a hit and Philadelphia of a run in the second inning.

The Phillies put runners in scoring position in each of the first three innings but couldn't push across a run even as Venezuelan left-handed pitcher Ranger Suarez kept Atlanta hitless for the first three innings.

Austin Riley blasted a solo homer down the left-field line in the fourth to give the Braves a 1-0 lead.

But Castellanos smacked a homer to left field in the Phillies half of the fourth to lift the hosts level.

Trea Turner, who doubled in the first and singled in the third, blasted a solo homer to left field in the fifth inning to give Philadelphia a 2-1 edge.

Castellanos connected on his second homer in the sixth inning to give the Phillies a 3-1 lead. It was the 11th homer of the series for Philadelphia.

Atlanta rallied with two outs in the seventh as Phillies relief pitchers issued three walks to load the bases before Ronald Acuna flew out to Rojas to end the inning.

Marcel Ozuna walked and Sean Murphy singled for Atlanta to begin the ninth inning but the Phillies retired the next three batters to seal the victory.
