Olympic Marathon Course Lets Amateurs Inside the Ropes

Stephanie Jacquet, 49, is not an Olympic athlete, nor any kind of athlete at all. “This is the first time in my life I’ve ever run anything,” she said. The Marathon for All, as it was called, was the final grand flourish of an audacious Summer Games organized around the revolutionary idea that Paris itself could be a stadium, not apart from the sports but at their center. Half were men and half women; they came from 127 countries and went off in waves, the last leaving just before 1 a.m. And in a nod to the Olympic year, each race had a total of 20,024 entrants.

CNN —For Kimia Yousofi, it was never about winning the gold. The Afghan sprinter may have finished last in her OIympic 100-meter heat, but her presence on the track in Paris sent a powerful message on women’s rights to the ruling Taliban. I can talk.”Afghanistan under Taliban rule is the most repressive country in the world for women’s rights, according to the United Nations. The head of Afghanistan’s national Olympic committee recognized by the IOC and its secretary general are in exile, according to the IOC. She relocated to Australia in 2022 to train for the Paris Olympics, working with Sydney-based coach John Quinn.

PARIS — Bold-talking American sprinting star Noah Lyles arrived at the Paris Olympics announcing his intentions of leaving with four gold medals. The 27-year-old from Virginia won his first Olympic gold medal Sunday by bolting to the 100-meter title in a personal-best 9.79 seconds in front of a deafening, sold-out Stade de France crowd. Lyles froze when it showed he had prevailed by one of the narrowest margins — five-thousandths of a second. Lyles is the first American to win the Olympic 100-meter since 2004. By the finish time, it was one of the hardest gold medals to earn, too.

Korean Fried Chicken to Save Your Sunday
  + stars: | 2024-05-19 | by ( Sam Sifton | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
That’s often the way of the world: 20-minute jobs that can run to an hour if you’re not careful, two if you’re reckless. So here’s a dinner for anyone who’s wrestled the weekend and brought it only to a draw: Korean fried chicken (above). Julia Moskin adapted the recipe from one developed by the food writer Cecilia Hae-Jin Lee, using either boneless chicken thighs or bone-in wings. Taste the sauce for the glaze as you make it — some will want a little less ketchup, or a little more gochujang. Serve with sheet-pan japchae and beer you’ve stored in the freezer while you’re cooking the chicken, so cold that it has flecks of ice in it.

Organizers of Beijing's half-marathon stripped the winner of his gold medal, say reports. Video evidence appeared to show African runners slow to allow China's He Jie to overtake and win. Robert Keter then waves at He to overtake and signals to the other two African runners to pull back. AdvertisementThe investigation revealed the three African runners to be pacemakers, hired by Chinese sports company Xtep, which sponsored both He and the Beijing Half Marathon, but it did not inform the organizers. AdvertisementAll four runners' results have been revoked, and they will be stripped of their trophies, medals, and bonuses.

Better known to the rest of the world as mango sticky rice, it’s a deceptively simple dish. And few have perfected that balance as well as 63-year-old Varee Jeensuwan, the undeniable queen of mango sticky rice in Bangkok. In 2022, she performed at the Coachella music festival in California and ended her show by digging into a bowl of mango sticky rice. K Panich has been dishing out mango sticky rice since 1932. According to R-Haan co-owner/chef Chumpol Jangprai, there’s evidence suggesting mango sticky rice has been around since Thailand’s late Ayutthaya period (1351-1767), with references to the dish found in the centuries to follow.

CNN —British runner Jasmin Paris became the first woman ever to finish the legendary Barkley Marathons on Friday. Paris was one of five finishers in the 2024 edition of the Barkley Marathons, with Ukrainian Ihor Verys finishing first, American’s John Kelly and Jared Campbell finishing second and third respectively and Greig Hamilton from New Zealand finishing fourth. Verys, who finished with a time of 58:44:59, told Dunn: “Maybe you should add a sixth loop.”Conversely, Campbell – who completed the Barkley Marathons for the fourth time with a time of 59:30:32 – said: “That new section is brutal. The Barkley Marathons has become famous for its grueling, near-impossible nature. The races’ tough nature makes it a tough finish for many, with no finishers between 2017 and 2023.

A year later, some friends spotted a competition run by Brixton Village in south London — they were offering the winner a three-month pop-up restaurant. In some ways, the Brixton restaurant was straightforward — it was a small site with just 18 covers inside and 14 outside.

When you think about lace, “modern” probably isn’t the first word that comes to mind. The centuries-old fabric, made by looping, twisting or knitting thread into various open-weave patterns, is more likely to evoke images of quaint cottage curtains or your grandmother’s bridal veil. One features a fish design and another was inspired by patterns popular in the Ottoman courts of the 16th century. In their own homes, Köprülü and Muessel often use the mats atop silver breakfast trays or place them in the center of a dining table as decorative elements. “But you could frame them and put them on the wall,” says Köprülü.

SOLDEU, Andorra (AP) — Marta Bassino edged out Federica Brignone for an Italian one-two finish in a tight opening run of a women’s World Cup giant slalom Saturday. Mikaela Shiffrin sits out this weekend’s races to nurse a left knee injury and the American star could lose her lead in the overall World Cup standings to Lara Gut-Behrami. The Swiss skier won the previous GS and trails Shiffrin by 95 points. In Saturday's race, Bassino showed glimpses of her best as the Italian skier looked for her first podium result of the season. She won the World Cup title in the discipline in 2021 but has won just one World Cup race over the last three years.

Spouses, children, friends, siblings, neighbors, and colleagues ran for someone they knew who either was killed, taken captive or injured during Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine. Amid the lively backdrop of Ukrainian songs, joy and sorrow intermingled in the air as life carried on despite the war. Those competing remotely could run any distance they wanted and were encouraged to post about it on social media. Nova Post has delivered starter kits to 65 countries across all continents, said Inna Popereshniuk, co-founder of Nova Post. She dedicated her race to six colleagues who were killed and 17 injured in a Russian attack on the Nova Post depot in the Kharkiv region on Oct. 21.

It was another busy day for the crew of the Rest-Ashoar, a lobster fishing boat that works the waters off the rocky coast of Winter Harbor, Maine. The captain, Jacob Knowles, had gotten up at 3 a.m. on a brisk October morning and took his vessel 10 miles into the ocean. Using a hydraulic hauler, buoys and ropes, Mr. Knowles, Keith Potter (the stern man) and Coty White (the third man) hauled up 400 wire traps over the next 10 hours. As the boat listed in the rolling waves, they heaved the empty traps back overboard. Even while doing the grueling work of commercial fishermen, the crew was engaged in another job: filming a video.

Five restaurants in Colorado — four in Denver and one in Aspen — each won a Michelin star on Tuesday night, and no two- or three-star restaurants were anointed by the influential culinary guide in its first round of awards in the state. (A signature dish at the Wolf’s Tailor is called Venison and Its Diet: roast venison loin with matsutake mushrooms, huckleberries and bitter greens.) At a ceremony in Denver, 30 restaurants joined the ranks of “Michelin recommended,” one of several categories and awards the company has recently introduced to pull more restaurants into its brand orbit. (She was the only woman to win a star of her own.) A group of Colorado state and local tourism authorities and resort companies paid Michelin a total of about $600,000 to help create the guide, so only restaurants in Boulder, Denver, Aspen, Vail, Snowmass and Beaver Creek were eligible for stars, a decision that rankled chefs in municipalities that did not pitch in money.

NEWCASTLE, England, Sept 10 (Reuters) - Britain's Mo Farah capped his illustrious competitive racing career with a fourth-place finish at the Great North Run half-marathon in Newcastle on Sunday. Wearing a bib that read "Sir Mo," the six-times Great North Run winner crossed in one hour, three minutes and 28 seconds, high-fiving dozens of people lining the route down the home straight. Ethiopia's Tamirat Tola, the 2022 world marathon champion, won in 59:58 to erase his disappointing marathon at the worlds last month in Budapest where he did not finish. The 40-year-old Farah is a six-times world champion and four times Olympic champion. Without having something to do and make me happy, it would have been very difficult for me," Farah said.

Philip Morris renamed itself Altria, presumably in part to diminish its perceived association with lung cancer, but its customers still smoke Marlboros. But absent such good reasons, sensible businesses keep the brand names their customers keep buying. The Twitter logo was also fine — distinctive, instantly recognizable and without any obvious negative connotations. Furthermore, the new logo — a slightly embellished version of the letter X — is problematic in several ways. Many TAFKAT users say that they’re embarrassed by the logo, which makes them feel as if they’re visiting a porn site.

Three more stalls are in Adam Food Center — Adam Rd Noo Cheng Big Prawn Noodle, Bahrakath Mutton Soup and Selamat Datang Warong Pak Sapari, which is known for its Malay noodle dishes, according to Michelin. The complete selection of Michelin-starred restaurants in Singapore will be announced on June 27 at an awards ceremony.

“All I wanted to be thinking about is the race,” he recalled of the 2021 U.S. Olympic track and field trials. Racing bibs, which help track and identify runners, are a cornerstone of a runner’s race-day kit and a source of race day revenue through sponsorships. But many professional runners are questioning why they are still being weighed down by a large piece of paper attached to their high tech race day outfits. Precisely measuring a runner’s time is a basic — and critical — aspect of a race. Bromell would go on to win the 100-meter race by five hundredths of a second.

Not your typical great-grandmother, the German-born Frenchwoman runs 50 km (30 miles) a week, has competed in dozens of marathons, and has the medals to show for it. "It's extraordinary to have the Olympics in Paris," said Humbert at her home in Eaubonne, an hour's drive north of the capital. They remind Barbara of all the races she's been part of, from Athens to Boston and beyond, amounting to some 8,000 km run, according to her own calculations.
The Boston Marathon is arguably the most elusive finish line of all, and not just anyone can cross it.
