00:23them out of title contention for the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Boards t20 festival coach
00:28of QPCC David Fulong believes the victory in the final not only hushed the doubters but it showed
00:34the depth of the team there is a special feeling in the Queens Park Cricket Club it's barely been
00:41a day since they've won the ttcb t20 festival and the buzz is still there coach of QPCC David
00:48for long indicated the excitement involves more than winning the crown he says it was extra
00:53meaningful to prove doubters wrong winning is always a good feeling um you know to do it eight
00:59times and you know especially when you defend the title um at the beginning of the tournament you
01:05know we weren't out at our strongest many people didn't think that we would get out of the group
01:10stage so you know I think a plus you know knowing that our youngsters um you know came to four
01:17you
01:17know it shows that our developmental program is doing well he gave credit to the youngsters in
01:22the team who stepped up when it mattered he had some vital um performances from some of them like
01:28Young Davis Vassan Singh as I think was outstanding with the ball um so that you know our journey while
01:35it was it was a little rocky at times but again the youngsters are the one who pulled us out
01:41of it
01:41so that um you know our future looks well as for the tournament MVP Kadeem Allen he believes he gave
01:48a great showing but still thinks he has some areas to improve on I think um Kadeem had a excellent
01:54T20
01:55tournament um I think that you know it was he could have done better and I'm sure that he will
02:01admit
02:02it um you know he scored 225 runs at an average of 45 with that last innings especially 116 against
02:10in
02:10in the final you know but um you know I think he battled well he hits the ball well um
02:15I think he
02:16just needs to work hard at his game and I think that you know he could reach very far in
02:22in the
02:22T20 format of the cricket in the meantime their eighth title will be placed on the trophy shelf
02:27by the players who were rewarded with the belief that anything is possible Sergio Dufort TV6 Sport
02:33well it's time to pedal the likes of Akeel Campbell and Alexi Ramirez dominated the proceedings
02:39in the elimination races at the end of day three of the national track cycling championships Ramirez won
02:46the elite woman title ahead of Tennille Campbell meanwhile Akeel Campbell got the better of Tariq Woods
02:51and Liam Triptey over in the Kirin Kwasi Brown was untouchable as he defeated Campbell Triptey and Judah
02:59Neverson well it's time to get out the blocks age might be creeping up but there was no stopping the
03:06senior athletes who competed at the masters championships on the weekend at the Hayes
03:11de Crawford Stadium the local athletes faced stern competition from regional com competitors as they
03:17made their bid to establish their personal landmarks with this one taking the win in 38 minutes 28.11
03:25They were merged for some of the events like in this 200 meters which features 45 to 49 and 50
03:32to 54 age group runners
03:34of the masters coming around the venue and a whole zone to lead but battling there on the inside and
03:41is
03:41coming on moving medical so needed but back onto the track here now closing the gap on the inside
03:51moving up an age group to 70 to 74 no signs of slowing down Dave Messiah sprinted the line in
03:5927.16 seconds over 200 meters
04:23and the women's 45 to 49 age group Natasha Kelshaw seems to be enjoying the run she was merged with
04:30Betty Murray out of
04:32Barbados and the women's 45 to 49 age group Natasha Kelshaw seems to be enjoying the run she was merged
04:32with Betty Murray out of Barbados
04:32Barbados in the 75 to 79 category and other age group runners
04:37already coming around the bend there 45 to 49
04:39Concord Natasha Kelshaw in the lead followed by her club meet
04:44Sergio White and then
04:47Sergio Dufour, TP6 Sport
04:50Well at the conclusion of the games president of the Trinidad and Tobago Masters Association
04:54Sheldon Mason indicated he was satisfied with how the meet turned out
04:59he noted that this year stood out because of the presence of international athletes which led to a higher standard
05:05of competition
05:07President of the Association of Masters Athletics of Trinidad and Tobago Sheldon Mason says
05:12as many as seven regional countries took part in the Masters Championships with the United States also sending a contingent
05:20and we are really proud of that achievement and it also brought out a lot of the Masters who looked
05:25out to Trinidad to compete some out of retirement and the lanes were full we had an even bigger crowd
05:32than we had in the years gone by
05:33When the dust settled he was satisfied with the performances of those who took part
05:38I believe that all our Masters athletes and especially those locals to Trinidad and Tobago did extremely well
05:44even though they may have come in second or in third place in some of their races
05:48when you look at the grants and I think they are the national champions
05:53fortunate I had to meet
05:54He also indicated that some of these athletes are preparing for the World Championships in Korea
05:59National Open Championships and the US Masters Championships in July
06:04He says the objective is to show that sportsmanship exists beyond youth
06:09and therefore they will be aiming to win medals at these tournaments
06:13Mason also gave his selection of the athletes he felt gave a top showing
06:17For Trinidad I would want to say Gamma Posa because he competed in a lot of the male events
06:24right in terms of the female athlete Susanna Joufield because she is still running already
06:30She would have run at least four races at 74 years and don't quote more on that one
06:36International athlete would be Dash Newton from Great Britain
06:40She competed in over 14 events
06:43So all three of them would be my athletes of the Games itself
06:48He also gave credit to the athletes who registered personal bests
06:51and rewrote a few national records in the tournament
06:54Moving forward he believes that there is need for more support from the government private sector
06:59and you the fans
07:01Sergio Dufort, TV6 Sport
07:03We turn attention to Grenada now for the Whitsuntide Games
07:07which took place over the weekend
07:08A host of national athletes competed at the Games
07:11and Alex Sipasad made a strong impression by winning the under-2100 metre race in 10.46 seconds
07:19It's down to who is in the best racing form as they get on their way
07:23Let's see, it's still even Steven
07:25It's still even Steven
07:28As Sam and...
07:31Here we go, George responding well, but...
07:36Meanwhile, Noemi Theodore won the women's 100 metre dash in 11.76 seconds
07:43My first step in that race was very crucial to me
07:47so I said, just get all the blocks as quickly as possible
07:51and run the rest of the race as relaxed as I could
07:56Well, TNT will not be at the World Cup, we know that
07:58but some of our football pros are enjoying success on the pitch
08:03as we check out one teenager who made a Premier League bow
08:06while a veteran picked up hardware with his new club
08:09and another young star cannot stop scoring for his MLS Next Pro Club
08:15It was a special moment not only for TNT International, Rio Cardenas and family
08:19as he walked out for the first time as a starter with Crystal Palace in the English Premiership
08:24but it was also a proud moment for the TTFA which praised the talented teenager on his promotion
08:29The 19-year-old had his moments creating two big chances with this being one of them
08:36Despite his good play, Palace went on to lose 2-1 to the league champions Arsenal
08:41but Cardenas had a promising debut playing 90 minutes
08:44We remain in European football where TNT skipper Levi Garcia secured his first title with Russian club Spartak Moscow
08:51Garcia was a second half substitute in the Russian Cup against Krasnodar as the final ended 1-1 in regulation
08:57time
08:57The former AK Athens striker wasn't among the kickers in the penalty shootout
09:02but Spartak held their nerves to win 4-3 from this spot
09:07However, Spartak's fifth Russian Cup title was literally shattered by Pablo Solari
09:11who smashed the Crystal Cup while celebrating
09:15Meanwhile, TNT's Nathaniel James was among the goals again for MLS Next Pro Club North Texas
09:22James scored the equalizer in the 66th minute against San Jose earthquake 2
09:39However, his league-leading 8 goal wasn't enough as North Texas fell 3-2 on penalties after it ended 2
09:48-2 in regulation time
09:49And that'll do it
09:51Terence Clark, TV6 Sport
09:53Got a stainless steel cup home? I can probably lend Spartak Moscow
09:57Well, we are shooting for glory
10:00While we are shooting for glory, Argentine fans are shooting for hope as they worry for injured Lionel Messi
10:06Spain blanks Real Madrid in World Cup squad selection
10:09Ronaldo fetches a petty penny
10:12And the mother and wife of an English player are fuming
10:24Core favourite Spain announced their World Cup squad today
10:27And for the first time in World Cup history
10:29There are zero Real Madrid players on the roster
10:32Coach Luis de la Fuente has overlooked players like Raul Asensio, Fran Garcia, Gonzalo Garcia, Dani Carvajal
10:39And the biggest surprise of all, young centre-back Dean Hoyson
10:42There are eight Barcelona players in the squad
10:44Which is headlined by star player Lamin Yamal
10:46Along with the likes of Dani Olmo, Ferran Torres, Pedri and Gavi
10:50Also getting a call despite having an entry-plaked season is Nico Williams
10:54Who was part of Spain's Euro 2024 winning side
10:58Over 46 million Argentine supporters have their hearts in their hands
11:03After Lionel Messi was forced to exit his last Inter-Miami match with a hamstring injury
11:07Messi went straight down the tunnel to the dressing room in the 73rd minute
11:11Against the Philadelphia Union with a score at 4-4
11:14Inter-Miami went on to win 6-4 but the score was secondary
11:18As fans will be eager to know Messi's physical state just 17 days ahead of the World Cup
11:23You can't speak about Messi without mentioning Cristiano Ronaldo
11:26Who saw one of his rare Panini cards sold for $1.35 million
11:30It was the most ever paid for one of Ronaldo's cards with this one from his time at Juventus
11:35However, the sale is still second only to Lionel Messi's rookie card
11:40Which fetched a record $1.5 million
11:43And Harry Maguire's non-selection to England's World Cup squad has not been taken well by his family
11:48In particular his mother and wife who have both taken to social media to defend the player
11:52His mom Zoe described his snob as disgraceful and said they're absolutely disgusted
11:58While his wife Fern was devastated for her husband and described it as shameful
12:02As he was up against a single opinion in reference to German manager Thomas Tuchel
12:13Right, we are down to 17 days away from kickoff at the FIFA World Cup
12:18And we continue our analysis of the 48 teams as we take a curious look at Uzbekistan and Colombia in
12:25Group K
12:35On paper, the weakest nation in Group K just might be debutants Uzbekistan
12:40Behind Portugal, Colombia and even DR Congo
12:43The Uzbeks are the lowest ranked nation in the group at 50
12:46But the White Wolves only played their first ever match in 1992
12:50After gaining independence following the collapse of the Soviet Union
12:5334 years on, making their tournament debut is already the prize for the Central Asian nation
12:58Coached by Italy's 2006 World Cup winning captain Fabio Cannavaro
13:02The Italian is known for his fighting spirit
13:05And with Manchester City defender Abdo Kedir Kushinov
13:07And 6'3 striker Eldor Shomaradov
13:10They will be playing with house money
13:12However, Portugal's biggest challenge in Group K should come from South America's Colombia
13:17Back after failing to secure a spot at the 2022 World Cup
13:21The Colombians made waves 12 years ago in Brazil
13:23Earning their best ever finish reaching the quarter-finals
13:26FIFA's 13th ranked nation navigated CONMOBOL qualification
13:30Finishing third behind Argentina and Ecuador
13:33And after being one of the stars in Brazil 2014
13:36James Rodriguez returns as the captain
13:38However, Bayern Munich winger Luis Diaz is the standout player
13:42Along with Benfica midfielder Richard Rios
13:51Well, it's all square
13:53The San Antonio Spurs avoided falling 3-1 behind
13:56The defending champions OKC Thunder
13:59With a convincing 103-82 victory
14:02Victor Wembedyama dominated proceedings with 33 points
14:05Setting up an all-important Game 5 on Tuesday
14:09It's 65-43 in transition
14:12Harper finds Vassell
14:13He misses the corner 3
14:14Harper comes in to grab the offensive rebound
14:17Goes back up and scores
14:18It's a 25-point advantage for the Spurs
14:21SGA drives, kicks out to the corner
14:23And it's a 3 from Kenrich Williams
14:25Williams had 10 off the bench
14:26That cuts the lead down to 18
14:28So OKC trying to just hang around
14:31But Castle gets a steal on the other end
14:33Look at him go behind the back to you-know-who
14:36Wembedyama 33 points
14:388 rebounds
14:395 assists
14:402 steals
14:403 blocks
14:41Spurs by 24
14:43Harper now splitting the defenders
14:45Gets in for the two-handed jam
14:48Watch it again
14:48Spurs by 22
14:50Then De'Aaron Fox
14:51Goes to the rim
14:52Banks in a floater
14:54Plus the foul
14:55He had 12 points
14:5610 rebounds
14:575 assists
14:58And this series
15:00Is even at two games apiece
15:04Game 5
15:04Back in Oklahoma City
15:06Your final score
15:07103-82
15:09Just can't stop the lanky Wembedy, right?
15:13We save up some French now
15:14As Roland Garros was bathing in sun
15:16As first-round action continued in Paris
15:18However, the sun finally set on Stan Warinka's
15:21Remarkable French Open career
15:23The 2015 Roland Garros winner fell to Jesper De Jong
15:27In four sets
15:28And he was given a fitting farewell
15:30With tributes from legends of the sport
15:32Only him and Andy Murray
15:33Were able to win multiple Grand Slams
15:36During the 20-year
15:37Dominated by the big three
15:39Of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal
15:41And Novak Djokovic
15:42Elsewhere
15:43Former number one
15:44And four-time French Open champion
15:46Iga Swiatek
15:47Advanced with a straight sets win today
15:49Second seed Elina Ribakina
15:52In search of her first French Open title
15:54Cruised through to round two
15:57With a straight sets win as well
15:59However, seventh seed Elina Svitolina
16:01Had to work harder to overcome Hungarian
16:04Anna Bonda
16:04She rallied from losing the opening set
16:07To win 3-6, 6-1, 7-6
16:11We head to the north now
16:13Where Kimi Antonelli proved
16:14He's a serious contender for the title
16:16After winning his fourth race in a row
16:18To claim the Canadian Grand Prix
16:20However, it came as a result
16:22Of his Mercedes teammate George Russell
16:24Being forced to retire on lap 30
16:26Ferrari had a good day
16:28With Lewis Hamilton finishing second
16:30Ahead of Red Bull's Max Verstappen
16:32While Charles Leclerc was fourth
16:34Despite the victory
16:35The 19-year-old Italian still wished
16:37The victory could have come
16:39In different circumstances
16:41It was a tough fight with George
16:43And it was very intense fun
16:45But I think it would have been cool
16:47To see how it would have ended up
16:49Because we were like going at each other
16:52Like we were pushing
16:55And I think, yeah, we both did a lot of mistakes
17:00I think also my side they did a mistake
17:01That kind of like
17:03It was a little bit in a crucial moment
17:05When I went back in front
17:07And started to pull away
17:08That was a mistake that
17:10If it was
17:10If I could have avoided
17:12It would have been better
17:13But for sure
17:14You know, it was a tough battle
17:16It was intense
17:16And of course
17:17I felt sorry for him
17:19But of course
17:20We'll take the win
17:21And now we move forward
17:24Well, it's all about
17:25Taking the attack to your opponent
17:26And never letting up
17:28As we check out your
17:29Monday
17:29Play of the day
17:32Victor Wembenyama came out strong
17:34From the first tip
17:35For the San Antonio Spurs
17:37Against the OKC Thunder
17:38And he was doing it
17:40On both ends
17:41And he was doing it
17:42On both ends
17:44Wembenyama right here
17:45Against Chet
17:47San Antonio's superstar Frenchman
17:50Was doing it all
17:51As he outscored the Thunder himself
17:52Through the opening quarter
17:54But it was this shot
17:55That told the Thunder
17:56They were not going to win
17:58One time
17:59Spurs do have it
18:00To sell
18:01Wembenyama
18:02I think he's going to go
18:03I think he's going to go
18:04From midcourt
18:05Got it!
18:13But you saw him calling and wanting the ball here
18:16He knew exactly how much time was left
18:20Nothing but the bottom
18:23So for taking the Thunder out of the storm
18:26Victor Wembenyama launches his way
