Nick Cassidy's podium win was nothing short of magic
The official Instagram page of Formula E shared several videos of Nick Cassidy's performance in Monaco, as he went on to claim third place after starting from a discouraging fourteenth position on the grid. The post was shared with the caption: 'Nick Cassidy's #MonacoEPrix Masterclass P14 to P3. Swipe to relive it! @ABBGroup.'
A Formula E fan wrote in the comments section, 'P14 to P3? In a Formula E car? In Monaco? In the rain??? That's why I started watching FE, sounds way more fun and competitive than a lot of F1 races.' Another wrote, 'I definitely agree with you. I went to Monaco this weekend and now I am a mega fan of Formula E.'
Nick was almost on cloud nine after bagging the podium spot in Monaco after a long time. He said after the Round 7 race, 'It feels very, very sweet. I can't fault my guys — it's been an extremely tough start to the year, it's no secret I've not been the happiest guy at times, but this one feels like a big monkey off the shoulders and I'm really proud of everyone's efforts. On the inside, I'm jumping up and down, I'm very, very happy — it doesn't get more special than here. Obviously, the last couple of years have been nice to us here and it's super special to carry that on.'

'So you need to win the Champions League?' - Franck Ribery takes aim at Cristiano Ronaldo, alludes to 2013 Ballon d'Or result
Cristiano Ronaldo and Franck Ribery were in the top 3 of the 2013 Ballon d'Or votes (Images via X/@Cristiano & eurosport) Legendary French forward and former Bayern Munich star Franck Ribery took shots at Portuguese skipper Cristiano Ronaldo as the latter made a comment on who he thinks should win the 2025 Ballon d'Or. In a press conference ahead of the UEFA Nations League final, Ronaldo expressed his opinion that the individual honour should be handed to a player whose team participated in the UEFA Champions League final. Ronaldo's comments were in response to a question that sought to elicit the veteran's take on who should win the Ballon d'Or between FC Barcelona's Lamine Yamal and Paris Saint-Germain's Ousmane Dembele. Another frontrunner for the award is Barcelona forward Raphinha, who also leads the tally in goal contributions across Europe's top five leagues. However, Ronaldo's comment was enough to provoke Ribery into a heated reaction, as the Frenchman took to Instagram. "So you NEED to win the Champions League to win the Ballon d'Or?", wrote the 42-year-old on his Instagram story. Franck Ribery's Instagram story following Ronaldo's comments (Image via Instagram/@franckribery7) His reaction alludes to the fact that he missed out on the same award despite being part of a Bayern Munich squad that won the treble. In the title-winning campaign, Ribery led the charge alongside Arjen Robben and Mario Mandzukic. Despite a brilliant season, Ribery saw Ronaldo lift the Ballon d'Or after voting for the same was extended. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Poll Should winning the UEFA Champions League be a requirement for winning the Ballon d'Or?

Hurdler goes viral with 50 million views completing last 10.5 metres with two forward somersaults for a win
A viral video of track star-in-the-making Brooklyn Anderson who claimed the 100m hurdle 5A state championship, has garnered over 50 million social media views. The reason – her spectacular finish at Thurston, where she lost balance clearing the last hurdle and stumbled, but stayed in the lane with two forward somersaults to reach finish line first on May 31 in 14.93 seconds. 'Nobody's ever cheered for me that loud before,' she was quoted as saying by Huff Post. According to NBC, the Oregon high school junior athlete blew away the competition at Eugene's Track & Field Championship. 'The last hurdle she clips and trips before somersaulting through finish line. Thankfully Brooklyn was OK due to her quick thinking and her Gymnastics background. She was also way in the lead earning her first place,' NBC said. She told The Oregonian, 'All I remember is resorting back to my gymnastics career. I wasn't sure how far back everybody else was behind me, so I just knew to just keep rolling because I really wanted to finish first.' A post shared by MileSplit (@milesplit) On Instagram, she wrote, 'Wow, what a memorable season. Year 3 is one for the books. Thank you everybody for the support, and especially thank you to the most amazing heat of girls a girl could finish a race with. You guys are awesome. GO COLTS #jryear #somersault #track #100mhurdles.' The Oregonian called it 'one of the most unique finishes to a race in Hayward Field history.' That must mean something because the iconic University of Oregon's stadium in Eugene is more than 100 years old and has hosted national championships and Olympic trials, including last year's qualifiers for the Paris Olympics. The left-lead leg hurdler was cruising anyway but her somersault finish just added a new way to rolling to the deep.

Coco Gauff takes out secret chit after French Open win, shows bold message she wrote to herself before tournament began
In a performance defined by belief and grit, Coco Gauff pulled off a remarkable comeback to defeat world number one Aryna Sabalenka in the French Open final, and now, the tennis world knows the secret she had kept to herself until the job was done. Shortly after lifting her second Grand Slam trophy on Saturday, Gauff shared a handwritten note on Instagram that had clearly become her personal mantra over the past few months. Scribbled repeatedly on a piece of paper were the words: 'I will win French Open 2025… I will be French Open champion 2025.' Alongside it, the 21-year-old American wrote: 'Ignore my handwriting but i saw @gabbythomas do this. Had to do the same lol.' That note, now viral, was inspired by three-time Olympic medalist Gabby Thomas, whose affirmation technique Gauff had stumbled upon and made her own. Gauff delivered by toppling Sabalenka 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-4 in an emotionally charged final on Court Philippe Chatrier. Gauff admitted the win carried a deeper meaning. 'I was going through a lot of things when I lost in this final three years ago. A lot of dark thoughts, so it just means a lot to be here,' she said after the match. 'I didn't think honestly that I could do it.' That 2022 loss to Iga Swiatek had been a formative moment in her career, but this time, Gauff came back stronger, channeling every ounce of belief she had written down. "I also felt like this is one I really wanted, because I do think this was one of the tournaments that, when I was younger, that I felt I had the best shot of winning,' she explained. 'I just felt like if I went through my career and didn't get at least one of these, I would feel regrets and stuff." In windy conditions, Gauff's mental composure stood out just as much as her shot-making. Sabalenka, by contrast, racked up 70 unforced errors and admitted the pain was tough to take. 'To show such terrible tennis in the final, it does really hurt,' she said. But for Gauff, this wasn't just a victory on court — it was the realization of a vision, a goal once imagined and now etched into history.
