Georgia Hunter Bell is making a powerful case that thirty is just the starting line. The thirty-two-year-old British middle-distance runner has added Commonwealth Games gold to an already stunning collection that includes Olympic bronze and world and European silver, capping a remarkable late-career surge since committing full-time to track and field.
Shifting to the octagon, UFC is making history tonight in Belgrade, Serbia, staging its first ever event in the country. The card is live right now, and Serbian welterweight Uros Medic will be one of the names to watch after his stunning knockout of Geoff Neal back in February. Belgrade is buzzing, and the UFC faithful have a full fight night to sink into.
And in the NFL, the Saints and Chris Olave have agreed to get the business done. The wide receiver was set to earn just over fifteen million dollars this season, but New Orleans locked him up with a four-year extension reportedly worth up to one hundred thirty-two million dollars. Thirty-five million of that comes as a signing bonus, so Olave is staying put and getting paid.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
