Speedway: Triple champion Woffinden setting his sights on seven

LONDON (Reuters) – Tai Woffinden has so many tattoos, he is not sure where he would put one to celebrate a record seventh speedway world championship.

The Briton, who grew up in Western Australia, has ‘only’ the three titles so far but has no doubt he will need to save some space on his skin.

“I want to be the greatest of all time. There’s two guys that have won six so I want to be one better and be the greatest,” he told Reuters.

“I’m 28. If I stay enthusiastic I’ve got another 15 years at it,” added Woffinden, in London to collect the Royal Automobile Club’s Torrens Trophy.

Woffinden has so far refrained from inking any of his speedway successes onto his body because the target is not yet half reached, but the canvas is shrinking.

He has ‘Pain is weakness leaving the body’ written on his upper torso and he has had plenty of broken bones to know about that, and suffering too.

“My wife’s brother is a tattoo artist. I’m at the point now where if I see a gap, I need to fill it. So there’s a gap here on my wrist, a tattoo needs to go here to fill that gap,” he said.

“I can’t have a three time world champion on my wrist because then when I am a seven times world champion, I won’t have enough room on my wrist to put it. So I’ll wait until I’m finished and then I can get it.

“I haven’t done my legs yet so there’s still plenty of space.”

Speedway is motorsport in the raw — 500cc motorbikes with a single gear and no brakes that accelerate faster than a Formula One car and power-slide around shale-based oval circuits at speeds of up to 130kph and a heady whiff of methanol.

Tough on riders, with the constant risk of injury, it was once hugely popular in Britain but now struggles for media attention despite crowds of 50,000 for the showcase British Grand Prix at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.

MINORITY SPORT

“I’d love for somebody like (snooker and darts entrepreneur) Barry Hearn in his spare time to come and look into it and say ‘yeah, I’ll take that on,'” said Woffinden, whose late father Rob was also a speedway rider.

“It’s an exciting sport but it’s classed as a minority sport. You walk through the grandstand and there seems to be a lot more older people, there’s no younger people yet it’s a younger generation of kids that are riding bikes.

“We are all in our 20s so why isn’t that attracting a 20-year-old fanbase? Because its relatable. They can go, ‘Wow, look at this guy he’s the same age as me and he’s doing this, this and this.”

Woffinden races mostly in Sweden and Poland, where it is so mainstream that there are even speedway hooligans and his WTS Wroclaw club’s 17,000 seat stadium is sold out for home races.

In Britain he is used to being recognized — the big discs in his earlobes an easy spot — but not when it comes to events such as the BBC sports personality of the year, where he failed to make it onto the shortlist last year.

In 1966, England’s World Cup winning soccer captain Bobby Moore won with speedway rider Barry Briggs runner-up. Geoff Hurst, England’s hat-trick hero in the final, was third.

“There will be a point where they can’t overlook me. Maybe when I win my seventh and become the greatest of all time. At that point they will physically not be able to do it,” said Woffinden.

Growing up in Perth, with an Australian passport and spending his winters there, he started out in taekwondo but abandoned it for speedway after reaching black belt.

If he sounds more like an Antipodean than someone born in Scunthorpe, he is also proud to race for the country of his birth.

“The Australians call me their adopted world champion and some of the Brits call me a British world champion,” he said.

“And some of the Brits also call me a stupid Australian idiot and say I should represent Australia because I love Australia more than I love England.

“But at the end of the day, mate, my parents are English and I was born in England and I represent England.”

Danish police ban anti-Muslim provocateur’s protest

Danish police have banned a second demonstration by an anti-Muslim provocateur in a neighborhood in Copenhagen with a large population of immigrants to avoid unrest.

Police said Tuesday they are investigating an object resembling a hand grenade found in the square where Rasmus Paludan was to stage his demonstration.

Police on Monday canceled a similar demonstration in suburban Copenhagen by Paludan, but counter-demonstrators then set garbage containers on fire and police had to use tear gas to disperse them.

Unrest started Sunday after Paludan, a lawyer who has held dozens of anti-Muslim demonstrations across Denmark under heavy police protection in recent months, threw the Quran in the air several times on a square in the Copenhagen neighborhood of Noerrebro before a raging crowd.

Athletics: Distance races to continue at Prefontaine despite IAAF changes

(Reuters) – Distance races are expected to continue at Oregon’s Prefontaine Classic and at other meetings even though the Diamond League is dropping events longer than 3,000 meters from its globally televised program in 2020, officials say.

The sport’s ruling IAAF said on Monday that starting in 2020 the number of Diamond League disciplines will be cut from 32 to 24 with 12 each for men and women and the longest event on the circuit’s televised program will be 3,000 meters. [L8N20Y3VI]

But that does not prevent meetings from holding other events, according to Tom Jordan, meeting director of the Diamond League’s Prefontaine Classic, and the International Association of Athletics Federations CEO Jon Ridgeon.

“When we’re back at the new Hayward Field (with the Classic) I imagine that we would have the distance night on Friday as we have had in the past that could feature a 10,000 meters, could feature a 5,000 meters, or could feature one of each for men and women,” Jordan told Reuters in a telephone interview.

“We are certainly going to play to our base and that is middle and long distance plus virtually every event,” added Jordan, whose meet is moving to the San Francisco area this year while a new stadium is built in Eugene for the 2021 world championships.

Along with a 90-minute international window for television broadcasts, “DL Meetings will also offer a further 30 minutes plus of additional coverage to their own domestic broadcaster, which will include extra domestic-themed events,” Ridgeon said in a statement.

“If deemed to be of sufficient quality, this additional coverage will also be offered to the International broadcasters if they wish to take it.”

The changes are part of an effort to develop a faster and more concentrated format that is more attractive to audiences.

‘SAD DECISION’

The plans brought immediate disapproval from athletics officials in distance-oriented Ethiopia and Kenya.

“It is a sad decision that will disproportionately affect Ethiopia and Kenya, as well as East Africa as a whole,” Ethiopian running great Haile Gebrselassie told Reuters. [L8N20Z6QF]

Barnaba Korir, chairman of the Athletics Kenya Nairobi region, said track and field would lose its historical significance and financial incentives if the long distances were dropped. [L8N2117C3]

“Historically, the longer distances were the pillar of track and field. Marathon was the pride of the Olympics, and 5,000m and 10,000m races were what made track and field interesting,” the former 10,000m and road runner told Reuters.

The 5,000 and 10,000 meters distances remain part of the world championship and Olympic programs.

The United States and Canadian athletics federations said they were working to increase opportunities for distance runners.

“USATF continues to support athletes in events 3,000m and higher,” the U.S. federation said in a statement.

“The USATF Distance Classic will continue to grow in supporting athletes at distances 3,000m and higher, as will other middle-to-long-distance focused meets.”

The Classic takes place each spring in the Los Angeles area. This year’s event is scheduled for May 16.

“We are kind of doing the opposite (from the Diamond League),” Athletics Canada Chief Operating Officer Mathieu Gentes told Reuters.

“We are trying to build our Canadian 10,000 meters camp, which has recently partnered with the Pacific Distance Carnival and we are trying to build a whole festival.”

The June carnival will include the Canadian 10,000 meters championships, and “we are putting focus on improving the quality and the entertainment value of the event,” Gentes said.

Minnesota coach Richard Pitino has agreed to a two-year contract extension, the school announced Sunday.

The new deal, subject to approval from the school’s board of regents, takes Pitino through the 2023-24 season.

Pitino is 112-92 in six seasons at Minnesota. The 36-year-old has led the Gophers into the NCAA Tournament twice in the past three seasons, including this year when 10th-seeded Minnesota defeated Louisville in the first round before falling to Michigan State.

“My family and I have loved living in the Twin Cities the last six years,” Pitino said in a statement. “We have met so many wonderful, supportive people. It’s an honor to be able to continue to lead this Gopher basketball program.”

Pitino was 18-14 at Florida International in 2012-13 before joining Minnesota.

Financial terms were not disclosed. His base salary was $2,188,141 this season, according to USA Today.

The settlement resolves claims that GE and WMC misrepresented the quality of the loans, as well as WMC’s internal quality and fraud controls, in connection with the marketing and sale of residential mortgage-backed securities.

Egypt schedules referendum on constitutional changes

Egypt authorities have scheduled a nationwide referendum on proposed constitutional changes that could see President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi remain in power until 2030.

Lasheen Ibrahim, chairman of the National Election Authority, says Wednesday the vote will take place Saturday through Monday. He says Egyptian expatriates will vote Friday through Sunday.

Parliament overwhelmingly approved the amendments on Tuesday. They would only extend a president's term in office from four to six years. But they include a special article specific to el-Sissi to extend his current, second term to six years and allow him to run for another six-year term in 2024.

The proposals are seen by critics as another step back to authoritarianism, eight years after a pro-democracy uprising ended autocrat Hosni Mubarak's three-decade rule.

COLOMBO (Reuters) – Sri Lanka’s former wartime defense chief, Gotabaya Rajapaksa, said on Friday he would run for president in elections this year and would stop the spread of Islamist extremism by rebuilding the intelligence service and surveilling citizens.

Gotabaya, as he is popularly known, is the younger brother of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa and the two led the country to a crushing defeat of separatist Tamil rebels a decade ago after a 26-year civil war.

More than 250 people were killed in bomb attacks on hotels and churches on Easter Sunday that the government has blamed on Islamist militants and that Islamic State has claimed responsibility for.

Gotabaya said the attacks could have been prevented if the island’s current government had not dismantled the intelligence network and extensive surveillance capabilities that he built up during the war and later on.

“Because the government was not prepared, that’s why you see a panic situation,” he said in an interview with Reuters.

Gotabaya said he would be a candidate “100 percent”, firming up months of speculation that he plans to run in the elections, which are due by December.

He was critical of the government’s response to the bombings. Since the attacks, the government has struggled to provide clear information about how they were staged, who was behind them and how serious the threat is from Islamic State to the country.

“Various people are blaming various people, not giving exactly the details as to what happened, even people expect the names, what organization did this, and how they came up to this level, that explanation was not given,” he said.

On Friday, President Maithripala Sirisena said the government led by premier Ranil Wickremesinghe should take responsibility for the attacks and that prior information warning of attacks was not shared with him.

Wickremesinghe said earlier he was not advised about warnings that came from India’s spy service either, presenting a picture of a government still in disarray since the two leaders fell out last October.

Gotabaya is facing lawsuits in the United States, where he is a dual citizen, over his role in the war and afterwards.

The South Africa-based International Truth and Justice Project, in partnership with U.S. law firm Hausfeld, filed a civil case in California this month against Gotabaya on behalf of a Tamil torture survivor.

In a separate case, Ahimsa Wickrematunga, the daughter of murdered investigative editor Lasantha Wickrematunga, filed a complaint for damages in the same U.S. District Court in California for allegedly instigating and authorizing the extrajudicial killing of her father.

Gotabaya said the cases were baseless and only a “little distraction” as he prepared for the election campaign. He said he had asked U.S. authorities to renounce his citizenship and that process was nearly done, clearing the way for his candidature.

‘DISMANTLE THE NETWORKS’

He said that if he won, his immediate focus would to be tackle the threat from radical Islam and to rebuild the security set-up.

“It’s a serious problem, you have to go deep into the groups, dismantle the networks,” he said, adding he would give the military a mandate to collect intelligence from the ground and to mount surveillance of groups turning to extremism.

Gotabaya said that a military intelligence cell he had set up in 2011 of 5,000 people, some of them with Arabic language skills and that was tracking the bent towards extremist ideology some of the Islamist groups were taking in eastern Sri Lanka was disbanded by the current government.

“They did not give priority to national security, there was a mix-up. They were talking about ethnic reconciliation, then they were talking about human rights issues, they were talking about individual freedoms,” he said.

President Sirisena’s government sought to forge reconciliation with minority Tamils and close the wounds of the war and launched investigations into allegations of rights abuse and torture against military officers.

Officials said many of these secret intelligence cells were disbanded because they faced allegations of abuse, including torture and extra judicial killings.

Muslims make up nearly 10 percent of Sri Lanka’s population of 22 million, which is predominantly Buddhist.

NEW YORK (Reuters) – The Federal Reserve may lower the interest it pays on excess reserves banks leave with it by 5 basis points at its April 30-May 1 policy meeting in a bid to prevent the federal funds rate from drifting higher, Morgan Stanley analysts said on Friday.

This would mark the third such “technical” adjustment on the interest on excess reserves (IOER) following cuts last June and December.

In response to the news that the U.S. economy rose 3.2 percent in the first quarter of 2019, White House National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow said that this “prosperity cycle” will continue if President Trump‘s policies stay in place.

Calling the advance in gross domestic product a “blow-out number,” Kudlow told “America’s Newsroom” Friday that it serves as concrete proof Trump’s measures to grow the economy have been successful.

“I’ll just say, Trump’s policies to rebuild the economy, lower taxes, regulations, opening energy, trade reform. Look, this stuff is working,” he said.

“It tells me, among other things, that the prosperity cycle we have entered into is continuing, it is strong. It has legs and momentum and frankly it is going to go on for quite some time,” he continued. “This is the new Trump economy. Some people don’t like that or they don’t agree with that. I respect the differences but I’ll tell you it’s working.”

STUART VARNEY: THANKS TO TRUMP, AMERICANS ARE FEELING BETTER ABOUT THEIR FINANCES

39 MILLION ADULTS CANNOT AFFORD A SUMMER VACATION

Kudlow added that Trump has “ended the war” on business and success, and is rallying for the small business owners of America.

“The president is rebuilding incentives, he is rebuilding confidence, he the rebuilding optimism,” he said. “He is basically saying you should keep more of what you earn. He is basically saying to small businesses we’ll cut the paperwork back and make it easier for you to start a business and prosper.”

Kudlow said the Trump administration is also working with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders to implement bipartisan deals to ensure the continuation of the GDP’s success.

“If the policies and the principles remain in place — and I believe they will — then I believe this new prosperity expansion cycle is going to go on for a whole bunch of more years,” he said.

Tennis - Australian Open - Women's Singles Final

April 26, 2019

(Reuters) – World number one Naomi Osaka came from behind in the final set to beat Croatian Donna Vekic 6-3 4-6 7-6(4) on Friday and move into the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix semi-finals.

Osaka comfortably won the opening set but was tested by the Croatian, who pushed her to the limit in the second and third. The Japanese made 45 unforced errors as she struggles to get to grips with swapping hard courts for clay.

Osaka was visibly frustrated and trailed 5-1 in the final set but she refused to give up and found her rhythm to break Vekic twice and prevent her from serving for the match.

In the tiebreaker, a confident Osaka upped her baseline game and had two early mini breaks before wrapping up the match in two hours and 18 minutes. An infuriated Vekic even smashed her racket after losing the match.

“I told myself I didn’t want to have any regrets here,” Osaka said. “I was stressed out when I went down 1-5… but this (comeback) was pretty good because I don’t play really well on clay.”

Earlier, world number three Petra Kvitova came back from a set down to beat Anastasija Sevastova 2-6 6-2 6-3 and move into the tournament’s semi-finals for the third time in her career.

Sevastova had a dream start, breaking Kvitova twice to take a 3-0 lead as the Czech struggled with her first serve. Kvitova also made a slew of unforced errors, with many of her returns going long.

Sevastova used the full width of the court to get the better of Kvitova, who played on the back foot for much of the first set as the Latvian gave her little time to catch her breath.

However, Kvitova recovered in the second set and she broke Sevastova’s serve when she was 3-2 up, winning 10 straight points to take a 5-2 lead. Sevastova looked shaken and was broken again to give Kvitova the second set.

Kvitova took command in the final set and broke a visibly upset Sevastova to take a 3-1 lead before easing into the semis.

“In the first set I missed almost everything. I was pretty slow and she just couldn’t miss,” Kvitova said. “In the second set it was very important for me to stay on my serve and the chance to break her came.”

Kiki Bertens plays Angelique Kerber later on Friday and Victoria Azarenka faces Anett Kontaveit in the last quarter-final.

President Donald Trump says he feels “young” and “vibrant” at age 72 and thinks he can beat 76-year-old Joe Biden “easily.”

A reporter asked Trump at the White House on Friday how old is too old to be president of the United States.

Trump said: “I just feel like a young man. I’m so young. I can’t believe it. … I’m a young vibrant man.”

Then he smiled and said he’s not sure about Democratic presidential contender Biden, the second-oldest contender in the race behind Bernie Sanders.

Trump said: “I look at Joe. I don’t know about him.”

Biden, in an interview on ABC’s “The View,” joked in response that if Trump “looks young and vibrant compared to me, I should probably go home.”
