Obiena-Lafferty combination a true gold standard

Obiena-Lafferty combination a true gold standard

MANILA, Philippines — When two winners meet, it always ends up beautifully and results in a second to none situation. Asian pole vault king Ernest John “EJ” Obiena and longtime adviser James Michael Lafferty have been together through thick and thin over the past decade; and prior to Aichi-Nagoya 20th Asian Games men’s pole vault competition the two had their own playful competition challenging one another. A mere two days before EJ’s title-retention drive in Asian Games, Lafferty would be competing also in the Raw Powerlifting World Championships 2026 men’s 60-64 age group division in Ashland, Virginia, USA with a promise that Obiena needed to match. “I am so really happy for EJ for retaining the gold in the Asian Games plus resetting a new Asiad record. And I knew, I believed that he could do it of course, so we made a deal. If I won the gold in powerlifting, EJ had to win the gold as well at the Asian Games,” Lafferty, 63, said. “The loser, if there is one, would pay for a dinner in Dubai in October.” Lafferty captured three gold medals in men’s 60-64 age group, dominating the strict arm curl, bench press, and push pull, which is a bench press plus deadlift in a combined total. Over 500 lifters qualified from around the globe and competed across 4 days this past week. Well, there was no loser between the two gentlemen after Obiena rocked the Nagoya City Mizuho Park Athletics Stadium in Japan with a new 5.91 meters record that won him back-to-back Asian Games gold medals, since dominating the Hangzhou games three years ago with his prior 5.90m record. “EJ has proven himself the best pole vaulter in Asia for the second time. He is also a three-time Asian Champion, a two-time Olympian, fourth place among the best in Paris Olympics despite a spinal fracture that certainly impacted his performance. I honestly have never been more proud than of EJ and what he endured in Paris. He is the definition of toughness” added Lafferty. Lafferty is an American business executive and athletics coach who served already as chief executive officer for Fine Hygienic Holding, previously held regional CEO positions at Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola Company, and British American Tobacco. That was the hidden gold medal wager of Obiena and his mentor. Two men, two friends, and confidantes agreed to a gold standard performance, and they did it and now both will share the bill in their upcoming dinner in Dubai. TMT

NBA close to picking new $12-13B Vegas team owners — report

NBA close to picking new $12-13B Vegas team owners — report

LOS ANGELES — The NBA will choose owners for a new Las Vegas team "in the very near future," with a whopping $12-13 billion price tag for the franchise rights plus the cost of a new arena, ESPN reported Tuesday. The basketball league is currently eyeing two new teams in Las Vegas and Seattle, bringing the total number of NBA clubs to 32, potentially as soon as 2028. According to ESPN, a shortlist of three bidders remains for the Las Vegas team, including one bid spearheaded by Walmart heiress Nancy Walton Laurie. Another is led by Canadian billionaire Steve Apostolopoulos, and a third by Vegas Golden Knights ice hockey team owner Bill Foley. The NBA Board of Governors voted to explore the Las Vegas and Seattle markets in March, with formal approval for the expansions expected by December. A purpose-built new basketball arena at the southern end of the Strip has been widely mooted for the Las Vegas bid, though Knights owner Foley has also proposed adapting his NHL team's T-Mobile Arena. Las Vegas already hosts the off-season NBA Summer League, and the T-Mobile Arena hosted the semi-finals and finals of the first three editions of the mid-season NBA Cup. But the city — which boasts the NFL Raiders franchise and will soon welcome an MLB side — has never had its own NBA team. The Seattle team would be expected to play at the Climate Pledge Arena, home to the Kraken ice hockey team and on the site of the home of the former Seattle SuperSonics NBA team, which relocated to Oklahoma City in 2008. A decision on Seattle team owners would take place at a later date.

Klay Thompson embraces new challenge in 1st season with Heat

Klay Thompson embraces new challenge in 1st season with Heat

BOCA RATON, Florida — Klay Thompson's legacy was secured long ago. He was part of four championship teams with Golden State, is one of the best shooters the NBA has ever seen, holds the league's single-game record for 3-pointers made and is surely headed to the Basketball Hall of Fame. He wants more. And that's why the Miami Heat pounced quickly when the 36-year-old Thompson was bought out by the Dallas Mavericks over the summer. They're convinced that Thompson still has much to offer and will flourish on a new-look Heat with Giannis Antetokounmpo teaming up with Bam Adebayo. “I want to be able to look back one day and say I gave it everything I had,” Thompson said Tuesday after his first training camp practice with the Heat, held at Florida Atlantic University. “And I think being with the Heat, it gives me that opportunity. They’re wholly committed to winning. And I've said this before: winning trumps any individual performance I’ve ever had. To be a part of a season of chasing that goal is special.” Thompson's resume is almost beyond compare. He's made at least 200 3-pointers in a season 11 times; that's second-most in NBA history behind his former Golden State teammate and “Splash Brother” Stephen Curry, who has 12 such seasons. With 2,899 career 3s, he's only 74 behind former Heat guard Ray Allen for No. 3 on the all-time list — and 101 away from the 3,000-made milestone, something only Curry and James Harden have surpassed. And here's one that not everyone might expect: Thompson — even without being a full-time starter — is also the only player in the NBA with at least 200 made 3s in each of the last four seasons. He made 202 last season in Dallas, despite playing a career-low 21.7 minutes per game. “What Klay’s done in this league, I think should be celebrated and respected in our locker room — which it is," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “We can take from those experiences. And I think also he can be excited about this possibility of a new experience to be able to create hopefully something similar, but in a different way and a different locker room and different culture.” The general perception is that Thompson will play a role similar to what Allen played in the Heat era that featured LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. If defenders help off Thompson, it's likely that they'll pay by leaving one of the best shooters in the world — someone who doesn't need much time to get a shot off — open. And if they don't help off him, that's just going to make life easier for Adebayo, Antetokounmpo and everyone else in Heat colors. “We've got former champions,” Heat guard Davion Mitchell said. “They know what it takes to win.” Thompson is about to enter his 14th season, not counting two missed because of injury. He’s a career 41% shooter from beyond the arc, is a five-time All-Star and has made at least 10 3s in a game on nine different occasions. And this summer, in a workout that led to a viral video from famed shooting coach Chris Brickley, Thompson made 72 consecutive shots from beyond the arc. “It’s a good feeling,” Thompson said, “but I would rather make 10 in a row in an NBA game.” The Heat would like to see that as well. They always have championship aspirations, but the changes to the roster this summer — adding Antetokounmpo, another knockdown shooter in Tim Hardaway Jr., Bobby Portis and Thompson, among others — make those hopes quite legitimate, even with Miami competing against a loaded Eastern Conference. “I hopefully one day get the chance to be in the Hall, but before that I still feel like I have so much left to give this game,” Thompson said. “The records even matter to me. I want to still climb up the record books because I’m such a basketball junkie. I grew up watching Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, and those guys inspire me to shoot the ball every single day. And the fact that I have a chance to pass Ray in a Heat uniform, that gives me so much motivation to keep going.”

Eala looks to secure medal in Asian Games

Eala looks to secure medal in Asian Games

TOP seed Alexandra "Alex" Eala of the Philippines looks to secure a podium finish in the 20th Asian Games tennis women's singles play at the Nagoya City Higashiyama Park Tennis Center in Japan on Wednesday. World No. 18 Eala faces No. 143 Joanna Garland of Taiwan in the quarterfinals with a victory guaranteeing the Filipino tennis ace of matching her bronze medal finish in the previous Asiad edition in Hangzhou, China back in 2023. Eventual losing semifinalists like Eala in Hangzhou are awarded a bronze medal right away instead of having to earn it in a battle-for-third match. The specific time and court for the Eala-Garland match had not been determined yet at press time. Despite the rain delay and her match being moved indoors, Eala began her gold medal bid in a dominant fashion as she dispatched world No. 517 Thai Patcharin Cheapchandej, 6-1, 6-0, on Monday. Eala, who received a first-round bye, is determined to win the gold medal. “Of course I want the gold, everyone wants the gold and I’ve worked hard," said the 21-year-old. "I'm here to compete like every tournament, I want to win but, you know, losses are possible. Losses are possible and they happen often. So if it comes to that I have to accept it and try to be better. But I would love a gold.” On the other hand, the 25-year-old Garland kickstarted her campaign with a 6-0, 6-0 win over Mongolian Martaa Chogsomjav in the first round and a 6-1, 6-1 triumph against Iranian Mandegar Farzami in the second. In the women's mixed doubles, Eala and Shaira Rivera were facing the Hong Kong tandem of Lai Ching Laam and Liu Kallista in the first round on Tuesday afternoon. A win by Eala and Rivera would pit them against the Chinese duo of Jiang Xinyu and Yang Zhaoxuan in the second round. Jiang and Yang received a first-round bye.

PH grabs silver in Asiad sepak takraw doubles

THE Philippine sepak takraw women’s doubles team grabbed a silver medal after yielding to Vietnam, 8-15, 4-15, in the final of the 20th Asian Games at the Nagoya City Mizuho Park Gymnasium in Japan Tuesday morning. Jean Marie Sucalit, Abegail Sinogbuhan, and Nelly Jay Salon found no answer against the Vietnamese side of Nguyen Thi Thu Trang, Nguyen Thi Khanh Ly, and Le Thi Hong Lien especially in the second set. Unable to secure a breakthrough gold, the Filipinos nonetheless posted their highest finish in the tournament with a silver which is the Philippines’ third overall in the ongoing meet. At press time, the country also had two golds and 11 bronzes. Jean Marie Sucalit, Abegail Sinogbuhan, and Nelly Jay Salon started their campaign with a 10-15, 17-14, 15-11 win against Japan and a 15-12, 15-6 victory over India last Sunday. The trio ended its preliminaries with a 1-2 loss to South Korea to finish second in Group B. The Philippines defeated Group A leader Laos in the crossover semifinals on Monday, 15-12, 15-10, to advance to the gold medal match. “This is the first medal of the national women’s sepaktakraw team in the Asian Games,” said Sucalit in an interview with Cignal. “We’re so happy and we hope this serves as a motivation for our youth who play sepak takraw. They will be more eager to play because of this medal.” Salon said they’ve been wanting to really make history in women’s sepak takraw. “It’s overwhelming (to win a silver) because as I told them the whole year we’ve been training that I really want to make history for women’s sepak takraw since our men’s team already did (in the 2023 Asian Games),” shared Salon. “We’ve been hoping to make history as well for the women’s and it’s already here. I don’t know what to feel right now, should I be happy or cry out of joy.” The Philippine men’s regu team likewise made the podium on Monday, capturing a bronze medal with a 15-10, 11-15, 7-15 defeat to Malaysia.
