En Garde! Meet the Filipinas making their mark in fencing
Lyra Stewart, a Filipino-Kiwi based in Melbourne, has been fencing for 20 years. Now 50 years old, she is also the Participation Manager at Fencing Victoria (FV), working to grow the sport in multicultural communities across the state. Fifteen-year-old Year 10 student Eunice Tag-at discovered fencing three years ago when her father introduced it as a post-COVID activity. Since then, she has competed in state-level tournaments and developed a deep passion for the sport. A common misconception is that fencing is only for the elite, but Lyra explains it is more accessible than most people think. She adds that it is never too early or too late to start, with fencers ranging in age from 6 to 75 years old. Fencing Victoria hopes to connect with more Filipinos in Victoria through events like the annual Pride Cup, which celebrates inclusivity and diversity in sport.

Australia's Liam Adcock wins men's long jump at Rome Diamond League meet
Australia's Liam Adcock has claimed victory in the men's long jump at the prestigious Rome Diamond League meet. Sitting in third place after five rounds, Adcock leapt a personal best of 8.34 metres with his final attempt. He finished ahead of Italy's Mattia Furlani (8.13m) and Greece's two-time Olympic champion Miltiádis Tentóglou (8.1m). Adcock won bronze behind Furlani at the World Indoor Athletics Championships in Nanjing three months ago. "I reckon I have a bit of clutch factor so it was great to be able to express that and jump a PB," said Adcock, who finished second at April's Diamond League leg in Xiamen. "I wasn't feeling that great leading into it, but Furlani got the crowd fired up, obviously a home crowd for him, and it got me going too." Fellow Australians Sarah Billings and Abbey Caldwell also impressed in Rome. The middle-distance duo both registered career-best times in the women's 1,500m, with Billings taking second in 3:59.24 followed by Caldwell in third (3:59.32). Ireland's Sarah Healy won in 3:49.17. "I wanted to be in striking distance in the last lap tonight. I felt really good with 200 metres to go and just told myself to go for it," Billings said. National record holder Oliver Hoare qualified for Tokyo's World Championships in September, clocking 3:31.15 in the men's 1,500m to finish ninth. France's Azeddine Habz was victorious via a time of 3:29.72. AAP/ABC
