Do ya think he's pacey? Rod Stewart has over-80s sprint record in his sights
Sprinters tend to reach their prime in their mid-twenties, when they have just the right combination of speed, strength and experience. Not many are trying to break world records after they reach their eighties. This has not stopped Sir Rod Stewart from setting his sights on running 100 metres in less than 14 seconds, the record time for men aged 80-plus. Since celebrating his 80th birthday in January, the rock star said he has thrown himself into an intense training regime. Having had a sprint track installed in the grounds of his grade II-listed mansion in Essex, he has already started to shave time off his personal best (PB). 'I can do it in 19 seconds and the record for an 80-year-old is 14 seconds. I'll never get it to that. But I'm trying,' he told the Radio Times.

LaLiga president launches extraordinary attack on Club World Cup piling further pressure on FIFA amid embarassment over empty seats
LaLiga president Javier Tebas has launched an extraordinary tirade against the Club World Cup, declaring it his 'goal' to eliminate the competition. The Spanish football chief claimed the revamped tournament is a threat to the 'sustainability of football' and he would 'ensure there are no more Club World Cups'. The expanded competition kicked off last weekend and has already come under fierce criticism for extending an already saturated footballing calendar. While FIFA president Gianni Infantino promised there would be 'full stadiums in America' and that he had no concerns about ticket sales, the tournament has so far failed to fully capture the imagination of the American public, with swathes of empty seats at certain fixtures. Chelsea 's opener against Los Angeles FC saw only 22,137 fans turn up at the 71,000 capacity Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. General admission tickets were on sale for £38 but such was the lack of interest that the entire top tier of the stadium was closed. Speaking at a LaLiga event, Tebas said: 'My goal is to ensure there are no more Club World Cups, that's very clear.' Asked if improvements could be made for future editions, he said there were 'no dates' in the footballing calendar left and the competition should be 'eliminated'. 'There are no dates,' the 62-year-old said. 'There's no need for yet another competition that moves money to a sector of clubs and players and comes from somewhere. 'There's no more money here; we have to maintain the ecosystem and eliminate it. 'Keep it as it was before, which was a weekend. There's no way, neither in terms of dates, nor economics, nor maintaining the sustainability of football.' The LaLiga president admitted he had watched 25 minutes of Chelsea's 2-0 win over Los Angeles but criticised the fixture for looking like 'a preseason friendly', adding 'I didn't see any intensity'. Chelsea's opener saw only 22,137 fans turn up at the 71,000 capacity Mercedes-Benz Stadium Spanish sides Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are competing in the Club World Cup which takes place across the US and features 32 teams. Previous iterations have included only seven teams and take place during the traditional footballing season. Despite Tebas' concerns, Xabi Alonso's Los Blancos appear to be taking the tournament seriously and even paid Liverpool £10million to complete a transfer for Trent Alexander-Arnold in time for the competition. Last week, Tebas also piled criticism on the Club World Club, branding it 'absurd' and claiming that FIFA had not 'consulted us about anything'.

BREAKING NEWS King Charles III's horse Reaching High is well-beaten in the Ascot Stakes on the first day of royal race meeting
King Charles III's horse Reaching High was well-beaten on the opening day of Royal Ascot, as Ascending won the Ascot Stakes by a head. The horse, ridden by Ryan Moore, was the hot favourite before the runners set off at the historic Flat race meeting, at 11/4 to claim the £57,000 first-place prize ahead of going to post. Trained by National Hunt superstar trainer Willie Mullins, Reaching High was bred by the late Queen Elizabeth II out of Estimate, who won the Ascot Gold Cup in 2013. Reaching High is the first horse owned by a reigning British monarch to be schooled in Ireland. Mullins retained the honour of Champion Trainer in April at the end of the National Hunt season, after beating rival Dan Skelton on the final day at Sandown. Reaching High was unsettled ahead of the race, and had to be led into the stalls on a sweltering hot day at the historic racecourse. He has only run once this season, beaten in a photo finish by Not Just Any Eagle at Leopardstown. For much of the race, Reaching High was mired in the mid-pack by the right-hand rail, as Liari led the runners around the two-mile, four-furlong circuit. Moore jostled for position after the final turn, but could not find a route through as Ascending pulled away, dogged by Nurburgring, who finished second. Comfort Zone finished third, followed by Leinster, and Divine Comedy in fifth place.
