Robert Keter then waves at He to overtake and signals to the other two African runners to pull back.

☆ Beijing half marathon winners stripped of medals after African trio let Chinese runner win

Hong Kong CNN —The top four finishers of the Beijing Half Marathon have been stripped of their medals after an investigation found three African runners deliberately slowed down near the finish line to let a Chinese competitor win, according to organizers. The three African runners were invited to join the race as pacemakers by Chinese sports company Xtep, which sponsored both He and the Beijing Half Marathon, according to the committee. But Xtep failed to note the trio as pacemakers to the race operator, Zhong’ao Lupao Beijing Sports Management company, the committee said. The committee disqualified the operator from hosting the Beijing Half Marathon and banned Xtep from sponsoring any more races this season. He is ranked 74th in the world in the men’s marathon by World Athletics and is expected to lead the way for Asian runners in the upcoming Paris 2024 Summer Olympics.

CNN —One of the most prestigious tennis tournaments outside of the four grand slams, the Madrid Open attracts the biggest names in the sport. However, this year’s edition has drawn as much attention for off-court controversy as it has for the action on the clay surface. Following the backlash, the skirts were swapped for long shorts in Sunday’s final, but the crop tops remained. “In the end, it is a form of sexist violence that is so widespread because people don’t even notice it.”The ball girl outfits were changed slightly for the final. Julian Finney/Getty ImagesThe Madrid Open and IMG – the tournament is part of the sports management company’s roster of tennis events – weren’t immediately available for comment when contacted by CNN Sport.
☆ 5 people share how they landed their unexpected dream jobs — from Trader Joe's crew member to voiceover artist

Five people share how they pivoted from the career paths they were on to pursue their dream jobs. We also teach this community to lobby legislators who ran campaigns on promises made to Black women and Black working class families. My favorite thing about this job is being able to work with women who don't see themselves as politically involved. Courtesy photoI started out wanting to be a working artist, but I became disillusioned with the art world. I love working with young adults, seeing their work and helping them through the art-making process.
