Tigst Assefa se lesiona a dos kilómetros de batir el récord del mundo…

La puerta de Brandeburgo, allí al fondo, es un espejismo que parece alejarse según intenta correr hacia ella; la larga recta de Unter den Linden, un pasillo en una pesadilla por el que avanza dolorosamente Tigst Assefa, su orgullosa zancada de unos minutos antes, ágil, puro vuelo sobre el asfalto, convertida en una cojera torpe sobre Adidas atómicas, un pie arrastrado, algo más que un calambre en el gemelo derecho, una mueca de dolor y terror. Hasta el kilómetro 40, la atleta etíope, de 29 años, corría a ritmo de récord del mundo. Pasó la media en 64m 57s. En el kilómetro 30, el cálculo era que acabaría los 42,195 kilómetros en 2h 9m 45s. Pasó los 35 en 1h 47m 32s, aún más rápida, a ritmo de 2h 9m 39s, y los 40 los cubrió en 2h 3m justos. Tenía casi siete minutos para descender de 2h 10m y borrar el récord infame de 2h 9m 56s que aún se mantiene como plusmarca oficial pese a que su poseedora, la keniana Ruth Chepngetich, fuera suspendida por dopaje poco después de conseguirla en Chicago 2024. Sería un signo de justicia poética que quien la devolviera a la zona de la luz fuera la misma Assefa cuya marca de 2h 11m 53s, conseguida en el mismo Berlín hace tres años, había superado Chepngetich. Pero la tortura final de Assefa no duró los menos de siete minutos soñados, sino más de ocho arrastrándose por Unter den Linden, alcanzando finalmente la Puerta de Brandeburgo y dejándose caer unos hectómetros más allá en la avenida 17 de junio, entre el esplendor verde del Tiergarten. 14 grados nublados al comienzo de la carrera. En las aceras suena la música dulce y alegre de quenas y charangos andinos. 18 grados y sol picante al final. Un par de avituallamientos líquidos, las dosis justas de carbohidratos, saltados en la vorágine de una carrera que corrió rodeada de seis hombres hasta el inicio de la tragedia final. Cruzó la meta en 2h 11m 4s, aun así la tercera mejor marca de la historia, se sentó en la acera y gritó de dolor mientras Haile Gebrselassie en persona le masajeaba la pierna dolorida. Así, lamentándolo, celebró su tercer triunfo en Berlín.

The Kansas City Chiefs visit the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, September 27, 2026 from Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens, FL. Kansas City beat Indianapolis in overtime on Sept. 20 and Miami lost at San Francisco in Week 2. Kansas City has 4 sacks with 2 interceptions and allows 20 points per game. Miami has 0 sacks and allows 31 points per game while averaging 13 points per game. Miami has allowed 9 sacks through two weeks. Miami is 0-2. The Chiefs are 11.5-point favorites over the Dolphins. Below, we'll give you all the details you need to know about how to watch this game. How to Watch Chiefs vs. Dolphins Players To Watch Kansas City's passing attack hasn't cooled off, and Sunday's overtime win over the Colts showed why. Mahomes completed 32 of 47 attempts for 382 yards and three touchdowns without an interception on September 20, pushing his two-game totals to 566 yards and five touchdowns. Miami's defense still hasn't recorded a sack through two games, and that lack of pressure raises the stakes on a secondary that has to cover Kansas City's full route tree on its own. A clean pocket gives Mahomes time to work through every option, and this offense has shown it can strike from anywhere on the field. Kenneth Walker III has given the Chiefs the two-way backfield threat they were missing a year ago. He has piled up 290 rushing yards on 47 carries through two games, including a 117-yard outing against Indianapolis on September 20, and he has added nine catches for 79 yards and a touchdown out of the backfield. Miami has allowed 31 points per game through two weeks, and a back who can beat linebackers in the passing game gives Kansas City another way to stress that defense beyond the ground attack. Walker's dual usage lets the Chiefs dictate tempo no matter how the game script unfolds. Kansas City has forced two interceptions and piled up four sacks through two games, the kind of production that will test whether Miami's offense can find any rhythm Sunday. Willis leads the Dolphins with 417 passing yards and one passing touchdown, and Miami has averaged just 13 points per game during its 0-2 start. Willis has already been sacked nine times across the first two games, an early sign of how much protection matters for this offense. Cleaner pass protection and quicker decisions will go a long way toward keeping Miami competitive into the fourth quarter. De'Von Achane has carried Miami's uneven offense on the ground, rushing for 110 yards on 31 carries through two games. That workload has kept the Dolphins from becoming one-dimensional even as the passing game has struggled to find consistency. Kansas City's defense has allowed 20 points per game so far this season, and Achane's speed on early downs gives Miami a way to create explosive plays without leaning solely on a passing attack still finding its footing under Willis.
