The 21-year-old sliced almost six seconds off her personal best to advance from the 1,500m heats at the US athletics championships in Eugene, Oregon. While the event remains, for the moment, largely a training exercise, Mu said that might not always be the case and she could potentially challenge on the international stage from 400m through the 1,500m. "I feel like every race -- four, eight or 15, I haven't gotten my fullest potential out," Mu said. "And I think being with a coach like Bobby, he knows how to get that level. Читать дальше...

The retired secretaries arrived at 9:00 am (0800 GMT) on Thursday to try to secure two of the much sought-after places for Centre Court. It is Linda's 26th time in the queue, but "only" the 20th for Sharon, the two friends joke. Читать дальше...
