The 29-year-old US Solheim Cup veteran announced on social media late Tuesday she will be stepping away to focus on her health. "I wanted to have some answers before it became public information and unfortunately in many ways, I've learned some things just don't play out as planned," Kang said.

Raducanu's Wimbledon preparations suffered a blow when she was forced to retire from her Nottingham first round match against Viktorija Golubic on Tuesday. The 19-year-old lasted only seven games before a side injury ended her first appearance on home turf in Britain since winning the US Open last year.

But a scan appears to have allayed those fears and the British number one is confident of making it to the All England Club... Читать дальше...

The annual gathering takes place at the Kheer Bhawani temple, a short drive from the city of Srinagar, and is usually a major religious milestone for the local Pandit community. Worshippers and pilgrims typically offer milk and Kheer pudding to the sacred spring within the temple complex, throwing rose petals and lighting earthen oil lamps in rituals of respect for the Kheer Bhawani goddess. But this year many stayed home, some fearful after the killing of nearly a dozen Hindus and Sikhs living in the Kashmir valley in recent weeks. Читать дальше...

World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the UN health agency was not recommending mass vaccination against the virus, and added that no deaths had been reported so far from the outbreaks. "The risk of monkeypox becoming established in non-endemic countries is real," Tedros told a press conference.

For Van Aert this was a second runner-up spot in two days after he celebrated too soon on Tuesday's hilltop finish and was pipped at the line by David Gaudu.

Olympic time-trial champion Roglic was fifth on the day and his Jumbo co-captain Dane Jonas Vingegard was seventh. The pair are well placed for a tilt at the title in the eight-day race...

Coming on the heels of the Élysée Palace race, France’s legislative elections are often seen as an appendix to the presidential contest, a sideshow designed to hand the freshly elected president a working majority.
