When a motorcycle police officer who was accompanying the three leaders peeled off to the right, she followed him — though the finish banner was in view straight ahead and a course monitor frantically tried to direct her toward it.Within seconds she realized her error, but by then the two other runners had passed her.Fotyen Tesfay won the race in 30 minutes, 43 seconds. Teferi was four seconds behind her and took third place, with a prize of $3,000.Tesfay — who, like Teferi, is Ethiopian — was asked through a translator about those final yards.“I saw the finish line,” she said. “At first I thought they didn’t really show us that well yesterday where the finish was. But after I saw that car turn...

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Her night’s work on the pitch finished, Alex Morgan walks into the post-match news conference in her San Diego Wave uniform, barefoot and with her left ankle still taped up, with 3-year-old daughter Charlie in tow.Morgan veers from soccer superstar to mom and back to soccer superstar.“Why is my tummy hurting?” Charlie interjects while Morgan is discussing the Women’s World Cup that begins this month in New Zealand and Australia. “I don’t know. Too many snacks,” her mother responds, pushing something out of her daughter’s reach, segueing between topics with the ease of taking a pass and putting the ball into the back of the net.Motherhood will bring a new element for Morgan’s fourth World Cup appearance.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Reliever Jorge López was reinstated by the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday after using his time on the 15-day injured list to address his mental health.The 30-year-old right-hander said he spent time talking to a psychologist after he had acted out in frustration during his struggles on the mound even before being placed on the injured list. As he hoped when he was first put on the IL, López returned quickly, needing just the minimal stay.“I’m excited. I’m really pumped,” López said Tuesday. “These 15 days, they were something really good for me, to take advantage to be here today and be back to where I want to be. I’m just glad to be back with the team.”López, a 2022 All-Star who was acquired at the trade deadline last year from Baltimore, didn’t allow an earned run in April, holding opponents to a .140 batting average over 12 innings and 13 appearances.He surrendered two earned runs in his first outing in May.

One month into toe injury, Aaron Judge begins hitting off a tee but says he’s unable to run

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 10:51:19 GMT

One month into his recovery from a torn ligament in his right toe, Aaron Judge has started hitting off a tee but said Tuesday he is still unable to run.“I got to be able to run,” Judge said before the Yankees continued a four-game series with the Orioles. “If I can run then I can play. Me running at 10 percent ain’t going to help anybody out there.”Judge said being able to put weight on his backfoot is the biggest factor in how fast he can return from an injury that is unusual for a baseball player.“Besides running it’s me being able to put 270 pounds on one leg when I’m hitting,” Judge said. “Once we build up that strength and get the pain and all that all out of there, we’re going to be in a good spot. I understand you’re going to deal with some pain coming back so it’s just about getting to a point where it’s tolerable and we’re not setting ourselves back here.”Monday marked one month since Judge got hurt when he crashed into the right-field wall at Dodger Stadium while making a ...
