Doha, Qatar: Qatar’s high jump superstar Mutaz Barshim is looking to build on his return from injury, when he competes against an impressive field at the Monaco Diamond League today, being held at the iconic Stade Louis II.

The Tokyo 2020 gold medallist arrives in Monaco after clearing a season’s best 2.27m in Doha last month, his best jump in more than a year, as he continues his comeback following a long spell on the sidelines. cricket-ipl.co.za

“It’s really good to be back here in Monaco. I have a lot of great memories in this stadium,” Barshim said during the press conference yesterday.

“Last year was really difficult for me, dealing with some very serious injuries. Now I’m finally back, able to put on my spikes and do what I love the most, which is jumping and competing,” the 35-year-old said.

“My legs are a bit more tired than they were 15 years ago, but I’m ready to jump. I feel good,” Barshim, who made the second highest jump in the history, said.

Reflecting on his career, Barshim said he is “lucky to have competed through three generations.”

“When I retire, I want people to remember that I produced high-level performances for a very long time. The longer you perform at the highest level, the more you separate yourself from everyone else,” Barshim said.

Beyond his own performance, Barshim also spoke about his involvement in promoting athletics through his What Gravity Tour, a high jump series designed to bring elite competition closer to fans.

“I’ve been travelling for more than a decade and writing down ideas. I feel like this is the right time to make them happen,” he said.

The series has seen immense success during its previous outings in Doha, Germany and Slovakia, with Monaco set to host the next stop on August 5.

“It’s a show for the people while also giving athletes a World Athletics-certified competition. Hopefully we can attract new fans to the sport we love,” Barshim said.

The men’s high jump at tomorrow’s Diamond League meeting promises to be one of the most competitive events, with a field featuring six athletes who have cleared at least 2.33m in their careers.

The Qatari superstar remains the standout performer on paper with a personal best of 2.43m, comfortably the highest in the field, although his season’s best of 2.27m reflects his gradual return to his usual form.

Among his challengers today, Ukraine’s Oleh Doroshchuk has the best seasonal best mark (2.33m) while Czech Republic’s Jan Stefela also arrives in excellent form with a season best of 2.32m.

Italy’s Gianmarco Tamberi, who famously shared the gold medal with Barshim at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, also returns to Diamond League action following a long hiatus, while Doha meeting winner Matteo Sioli of Italy, Mexico’s Erick Portillo, Jamaica’s Romaine Beckford and American JuVaughn Harrison also add strength to the field.

Among other highlights, the meeting will also features some of the biggest names in world athletics, led by pole vaulter Armand Duplantis, who has set his sights on a 16th world record at his new home stadium after relocating to Monaco.

Olympic 100m champion Julien Alfred headlines a stacked women’s 200m field that also includes Olympic champion Gabrielle Thomas and world leader Adaejah Hodge, promising one of the fastest races of the season.

The men’s 100m is also under the spotlight, with reigning world champion Oblique Seville taking on Olympic 200m champion Letsile Tebogo and world indoor champion Jordan Anthony, promising fireworks at the 10th stop of the prestigious series.

Doha, Qatar: A rivalry stretching back more than a century finds another defining chapter as Spain and Portugal meet in a high-stakes World Cup Round of 16 clash at Dallas Stadium today.

It is their third meeting on the World Cup stage, and once again there is less to separate the two Iberian neighbours.

Both arrive unbeaten in North America but their journeys have taken different shapes. Spain look composed and growing in authority while Portugal have leaned on resilience, late moments and individual brilliance to stay alive.

Spain, Group H winners, have built momentum step by step. Their tournament began with a goalless draw against Cape Verde, a match that felt cautious rather than concerning. Since then, their level has lifted. The Round of 32 brought a complete 3-0 win over Austria in Los Angeles, where Mikel Oyarzabal scored twice and Pedro Porro added the third in a controlled performance that reflected their balance.

Defensively, Spain have been near flawless. They remain unbeaten in this tournament and have not conceded since their group match against Japan at Qatar 2022, a run that reflects both structure and discipline.Spain's Lamine Yamal (left).

Coach Luis de la Fuente has repeatedly stressed standards rather than satisfaction.

“We played a magnificent match. I am happy because in every aspect we came close to perfection,” he said after the Austria win.

Yet he added a warning that underlines Spain’s mindset: “That is our spirit - the belief that we haven’t hit our ceiling yet.”

At the centre of Spain’s surge is Lamine Yamal. The teenager has added directness and fearlessness to Spain’s attack, offering unpredictability in a side built on control. After the Austria win, his message was simple and confident: “We aren’t afraid of any team. We are Spain.”

Portugal’s path has been more uneven but no less dramatic. Group K runners-up, they have not always found rhythm, yet they have stayed alive through key moments.

Against Croatia in Toronto, they came from behind late, with Cristiano Ronaldo converting a penalty before Goncalo Ramos headed a stoppage-time winner that sealed their place in the last 16.

Earlier, Portugal drew with DR Congo and Colombia, results that exposed inconsistency but also their ability to manage difficult spells without collapsing. The structure is still forming, but the talent remains clear. Bruno Fernandes, Vitinha and Joao Neves give them technical control in midfield, while their attacking moments often revolve around timing rather than volume.

At 41, Ronaldo remains the focal point. His influence is no longer about constant movement, but about decisive presence. One touch, one run, one chance is still enough to change a match at this level.

Coach Roberto Martinez has kept faith in balance and experience. “Fantastic game,” he said when looking ahead, adding, “We have great respect for Spain’s quality… two teams that want the ball, want to look for a goal quickly and create opportunities.”

The narrative naturally pulls toward the clash of generations. Ronaldo stands as the symbol of longevity and achievement while Yamal, 18, represents the next wave, playing without hesitation on football’s biggest stage. Their presence gives this rivalry a new emotional layer without changing its core truth, Spain and Portugal rarely give each other space.

History confirms it. Spain won the only World Cup knockout meeting in 2010 through David Villa’s strike. In 2018, the sides produced a classic 3-3 draw in Sochi, where Ronaldo’s hat-trick, including a late free-kick, defined one of the tournament’s standout nights. More recently, Portugal edged Spain on penalties in the 2025 Nations League final after a 2-2 draw, adding another tight chapter to an already balanced rivalry.

Across 41 meetings, Spain lead the rivalry with 17 wins to Portugal’s 6, with 18 draws underlining how often the contest has still stayed tight in moments. One place in the quarter-finals awaits, against USA or Belgium in Los Angeles. Between two sides separated by little more than timing and detail, even small moments may decide everything.

بدوره، قال رئيس الاتحاد الكرواتي لكرة القدم ماريان كوستيتش في البيان عينه «سيظل اسم زلاتكو محفورا إلى الأبد بأحرف من ذهب في تاريخ كرة القدم الكرواتية». ومن المرجح أن يخلفه الدولي السابق سلافن بيليتش الذي سبق له تولي هذا المنصب بين عامي 2006 و2012، وفقاً لوسائل إعلام محلية.

London, United Kingdom: Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk cruised past Jasmine Paolini on Wednesday to book a Wimbledon semi-final clash with Linda Noskova, before Alexander Zverev and Flavio Cobolli attempt to set up a rematch of their French Open final.

Kostyuk raced to a 6-3, 6-2 victory after just 69 minutes on Centre Court and will face Czech ninth seed Noskova on Thursday for a place in her first major final.

"I was on this court as a spectator once nine years ago watching Roger (Federer) and to be back here as a player is amazing," said the 24-year-old after her first appearance on the showpiece court at the All England Club.

"I walked past the 'wall of honour', stood beside it and took a moment."

The 12th seed has only lost one of her last 22 matches -- a semi-final defeat by eventual champion Mirra Andreeva at the French Open last month.

Former Wimbledon runner-up Paolini could not reproduce the form she showed in her last-16 win over Alexandra Eala, losing in the last eight of a Slam for the first time.

The in-form Noskova was the highest seed left in the bottom half of the draw after shock early exits for Iga Swiatek and Elena Rybakina.

The 21-year-old lived up to that billing with a 6-3, 7-5 win over experienced Belgian 25th seed Elise Mertens on Court One.

Mertens battled hard in her first Grand Slam quarter-final since 2020, but could not deal with Noskova's power.

The Czech has enjoyed an excellent grass-court campaign, reaching her first Slam semi-final after also winning her second WTA title in Berlin.

Kostyuk won her only previous meeting with Noskova, a straight-sets success in the quarter-finals en route to the Madrid Open title earlier this year.

"A tough one, it's never going to be easy," said Noskova. "Marta, she's an incredible player."

Two-time Grand Slam champion Coco Gauff or Czech 10th seed Karolina Muchova will await the winner in Saturday's final.
