Mexican Navy ship collides with Brooklyn Bridge (VIDEO)
A sail training vessel of the Mexican Navy collided with the Brooklyn Bridge in New York on Saturday evening.
Video from the scene shows the ARM Cuauhtemoc's three tall masts, decorated with lights, toppling after they struck the underside of the bridge's road deck.
In an absolutely stunning modern metaphor a ship blaring Mexican music and flying a massive Mexican flag just got destroyed by the Brooklyn bridge. Can't make it uppic.twitter.com/AUJy0q3oFB

Fu Yu's independent directors resign, leaving the CEO as the only director
[SINGAPORE] All of Fu Yu Corporation's independent directors have resigned, indicated bourse announcements on Sunday (Jun 15). Independent directors Royston Tan and non-executive chairman Christopher Huang have resigned due to persistent attempts to remove them from the board. Fu Yu's largest shareholder Victor Lim has been tabling resolutions in an attempt to oust Tan and Huang from the board. Independent director Daniel Poh resigned over differences in opinion on the company's directions on matters that do not involve the day-to-day business of the company. Huang and Tan also cited this as a reason for resignation, with all three quoting the investigations in Fu Yu Supply Chain Solutions as an example. Following the resignations, only CEO David Seow remains on the board as an executive director. Seow will endeavour to appoint additional members of the board within three months to comply with listing rules. Shares of Fu Yu closed down S$0.001 or 1 per cent at S$0.096 on Friday.

Tatjana Maria outwits Anisimova to complete Queen's Club fairytale aged 37
Tatjana Maria completed an extraordinary week of giantkilling in London by becoming the surprise first women's champion at Queen's Club in 52 years as she defeated Amanda Anisimova 6-3, 6-4. Maria, a 37-year-old German qualifier, is the oldest WTA 500 champion in history. Maria had arrived at Queen's Club on a nine-match losing run before building momentum from the qualifying draw and defeating four top-20 opponents in a row. Advertisement Despite her poor form and lowly ranking of No 86, Maria has significant pedigree on grass, reaching the semi-finals of Wimbledon in 2022. Her tricky toolbox of varied shots is built for grass and she has befuddled a series of elite opponents with her ability to keep the ball incredibly low and slow. Her brilliant slices off both sides force opponents to generate their own pace. As was the case against Madison Keys, the reigning Australian Open champion, and the 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina, two of the biggest ball-strikers on the tour, Anisimova looked extremely uncomfortable from the beginning, spraying unforced errors and unable to find her range or rhythm. Alongside her disciplined, constant junkballing and the ease with which she drew Anisimova, another enormous ball striker, into uncomfortable positions on the court while exposing the one-dimensional nature of her game, Maria served and defended extremely well. The grass-court season is notoriously short, but two of Maria's four career WTA titles have now come on the surface after she won her first career title at the Mallorca Open in 2018. After closing out an incredible win, Maria immediately sprinted over to her player box, where she embraced her husband, Charles-Édouard Maria, who is also her coach, and her daughters, 11-year-old Charlotte and four-year-old Cecilia.

Geens claims dominant triathlon win in Vancouver
The Belgian did not finish the opening race of the season in Singapore but bounced back with a second-placed finish in San Francisco a fortnight ago. Geens then followed that up in style in Vancouver, leading from the front to seal a first victory of the season and move level on points with German pair Rico Bogen and Mika Noodt behind leader Marten Van Riel in the overall standings. 'It was a hard race,' said Geens. 'It's a bit like it was in my first T100 race in Lake Las Vegas [last year] and on the run I had to go for my life. 'I'm very pleased with the last two races after Singapore and getting two good scores on the board for the Race To Qatar. 'I need two more [scores] before the final and there are lots of opportunities but I'm aiming for the highest, which is two more wins. 'It's very open still, with lots of races to go, but this is a very good step for me.' Geens formed a lead group on the bike alongside Van Riel, Bogen and Noodt and was able to stay in touch despite briefly dropping off the pace before showing his strength on the run to produce a storming leg and take the tape. The Belgian eventually took the win by 50 seconds over compatriot Van Riel, having overtaken the overall leader halfway through the run. He added: 'That was tough! I didn't have the best start in the swim. The pace wasn't too hard but there was a bit of a gap. 'On the bike, the big guys like Kyle [Smith], Marten and Mika went to the front first and it was hard for me and then I got properly dropped. 'I got lucky that Mika got a penalty and I was able to hang onto him and didn't lose too much ground.' Van Riel did much of the heavy lifting on the bike leg after a tough swim but was pleased with his podium finish having finished a disappointing sixth in San Francisco two weeks ago. 'I'm very happy to be on the podium again,' he said. 'I was leading at the start of the bike, and it took a long time for someone to challenge me. I thought, damn, I must be strong in aero today! 'I think Rico and Jelle have really shown their cards in the last couple of races, and I think I'm just not quite there yet. 'To be this close to Jelle on the run, who's one of the best in the sport is actually good for my morale. My bike is really good at the moment so I'm confident I've got more in the tank for the Race To Qatar.' The T100 Triathlon World Tour is a season-long schedule of World Championship level races competed over 100km (2km swim, 80km bike and 18km run), where the world's best triathletes go head-to-head in iconic locations.
