SA U18 SMASH FRANCE 52-7 IN RECORD ROUT

SA U18 needed just one afternoon to set a new benchmark for this fixture, putting 52 points past France U18 without reply in the second half at Hoërskool Durbanville on Friday. It's the biggest winning margin SA U18 have posted in the opening round of the U18 International Series. The scoreline undersells how error-strewn the opening exchanges were. SA U18 created chance after chance early on,...

KOEKEMOER’S 44.35 ANCHOR SEALS AFRICAN U20 RELAY RECORD

Leendert Koekemoer ran the fastest 400m of anyone in the field on Sunday, and he wasn't even in the individual final. His 44.35 anchor leg dragged South Africa's 4x400m quartet under a decade-old African U20 record and into silver at the 2026 World Athletics U20 Championships in Eugene, Oregon. Ryno Riekert, Kryn Romijn and Abelines Schoeman built the platform, running 46.67, 46.38 and 45.36 in turn...

CORBETT CLAIMS 200M BREASTSTROKE BRONZE AT PAN PACS

Two minutes, 22.97 seconds in Irvine, California. That is what the Kaylene Corbett Pan Pacs bronze looks like on the clock — third in the women's 200m breaststroke on the closing night of the 2026 Pan Pacific Championships, four tenths behind the reigning Olympic and world champion, and 0.91 off a personal best she set five years ago in Tokyo. Women's 200m breaststroke final — 2026...

She led Kate Douglass turning for home. The Olympic champion closed in 36.93 to take silver by four tenths. Corbett still finished clear of the rest of the field.

  • 🇿🇦 CAMDEN McLELLAN MAKES IT FOUR STRAIGHT MX2 PODIUMS 🏁

Camden McLellan went 3-3 at Uddevalla to take third overall at the MXGP of Sweden — his fourth podium in a row and the tenth of his career, on one of the hardest, slickest tracks on the calendar.

🗣️ "Four podiums on the bounce on a track built to punish mistakes — that's not luck, that's a rider proving he belongs in this title fight!" – Jay

He's now third in the MX2 World Championship, 21 points off second with four rounds left. Arnhem is next, and the sand suits him.

  • 🇿🇦 BINDER STORMS FROM 18TH TO 8TH AT SILVERSTONE 🏍️

Brad Binder converted an 18th-place start into an eighth-place finish at the 2026 British Grand Prix, delivering his best result of the second half of the season as MotoGP returned from its summer break at Silverstone.

Friday didn't go to plan. Binder crashed at Luffield with a quarter of an hour left on the clock in Practice, ending the session down in P18. That result carried a sting — he had to fight through Q1 just to lock in 18th on the grid for the weekend.

Saturday brought a gamble that paid off. Binder and Jack Miller were the only two riders in the Sprint to start on the medium rear tyre while the rest of the field went soft. It looked risky early, but Binder got stronger as the laps wore on, setting his fastest lap of the race on lap eight.

Sunday's Grand Prix was where it came together. Binder made a strong launch off the line, was into the points inside the first few corners, and kept climbing — past Iker Lecuona, past Jack Miller, past Fabio Quartararo — before Ai Ogura's retirement moved him up another spot late on.

The weekend by the numbers:

- Friday Practice: crashed at Luffield, ended the session P18
- Qualifying: through Q1, started 18th on the grid
- Saturday Sprint: 11th, one of only two riders to gamble on the medium rear tyre
- Sunday Grand Prix: 8th, a ten-place gain from the start, finishing over 12 seconds behind reigning champion Marc Marquez in 7th
- Championship standings: 13th on 72 points, four adrift of Tech3 KTM team-mate Enea Bastianini, who crashed out of the race
