Formula One is heading back to Africa for the first time in over thirty years, and it's a big one. Rwanda has signed a landmark ten-year agreement to host a purpose-built Grand Prix circuit in Bugesera, roughly forty kilometres south of Kigali. The first race lands in the early two thousand thirties, and the sport hasn't touched African soil since nineteen ninety three.
Staying with the sport of health and performance, Emma Navarro is speaking out about her RED-S diagnosis, a condition rooted in relative energy deficiency that quietly derailed her physically even as her rankings soared. The American climbed from world number one hundred forty nine to number eight in under two years, and now she's crediting her diagnosis with genuinely giving her life back. It's a story worth paying attention to beyond the tennis world.
And out of Serie A, Venezia have pulled the trigger on coach Giovanni Stroppa following six consecutive league defeats, the latest a three to one loss away at Atalanta. The club confirmed the sacking Tuesday morning. Venezia sit deep in trouble at the bottom of the table and are running out of runway to turn things around.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
