Noah Lyles wins the men’s 200m quick as records fall behind him

Shinta23/07/2023

Noah Lyles won an extremely quick men’s 200m race at the London Athletics Meet 2023 Diamond League event in the British capital on Sunday (23 July).

The American found himself pushed hard by both Britain’s national sprint double champion Zharnell Hughes and Botswana’s sprint sensation Letsile Tebogo around the bend, before putting some distance between himself and his rivals.

Tebogo kicked hard to give Lyles a scare, but the world champion came home first in 19.47, improving his own 2023 world-leading time by two-tenths of a second.

Tebogo’s 19.50 was a new African record, eclipsing Frankie Fredericks’ 19.68 from the

‘Bally Sports’ broadcaster just lost another MLB team’s games; are the Brewers closer to leaving the channel?

Shinta19/07/2023

A Bally Sports sign hangs in a dugout before the start of a spring training baseball game between the St. Louis Cardinals and Houston Astros on March 2, 2023, in Jupiter, Fla.

Television broadcasts for the Arizona Diamondbacks have been turned over to Major League Baseball after a bankruptcy court judge approved Diamond Sports Group’s “rejection” of its deal with the franchise. That marks two teams — after the San Diego Padres in May — who won’t appear on the Bally Sports airwaves anymore.

Diamond, which operates a number of regional sports networks (RSNs) using the Bally Sports branding,

Shinta16/07/2023

Cyn is back with a buoyant new single “Where Do All The Diamonds Go?,” out now via Unsub Records. The poignant track, which was produced by Teddy Geiger (Niall Horan, Shawn Mendes), finds Cyn with a baby on the way and embracing a new version of herself—but intrusive thoughts keep bringing her back to an abandoned ring that lies tucked away in a drawer.

“This song is obviously about rings and a few intrusive thoughts surrounding them…but more importantly, this song is about how some things have to perish to make way for seeds of meant-to-be with no choice but

Solar Power For Beginners – Understanding the Basics • Magali Vaz

Shinta23/06/2023

Adding solar to your home is a rewarding DIY project, and it’s becoming more affordable every day. However, it must be clarified if you’re new to solar energy.

Jeff Bezos has his fiancée Lauren Sanchez doing all the heavy lifting during their latest globe-trotting trip — and, no, we’re not talking about their luggage.

Lauren’s 20-plus carat diamond boulder was on full display — loud, proud and blinding — as the couple pulled into the small village of Beaulieu Friday in the South of France.

She was wearing a low-cut orange maxi dress while Jeff kept it casual in a tight tee and white pants … aka vacay Bezos-mode.

Canadian record holder Sarah Mitton 5th in her Diamond League shot put opener

Shinta12/06/2023

Canada’s Sarah Mitton opened her Diamond League season with an 18.56-metre throw but couldn’t build off the solid effort, placing fifth in women’s shot put on Sunday in Rabat, Morocco.

After taking the Tucson Elite Classic with a 19.58 performance last weekend in Arizona, she dipped to 18.12 on her second try in Rabat, 18.04 on her fifth and didn’t qualify among the top three for a sixth and final attempt.

Ranked second in the world, Mitton threw 18.98 in Oslo, Norway, 19.90 in Stockholm and 19.44 in Poland last year on the Diamond League professional track and field circuit

Ontario’s first diamond mine in the final stages of closing up

Shinta06/06/2023

Active closure is expected to be done this summer, though the site will be monitored until at least 2039

Before the Victor Mine even had permission to operate, De Beers was working on its closure plan.

Today, Ontario’s first diamond mine — located in a remote area of the James Bay lowlands west of Attawapiskat First Nation — fewer than 100 people remain on-site. That’s far less than the 500 employees and contractors who were there during the height of the mine’s operations, said De Beers head of corporate affairs Erik Madsen.

Madsen was the guest speaker at the Timmins
