Revitalized TNT eyes win as PBA Govs’ Cup back in action

Revitalized TNT eyes win as PBA Govs’ Cup back in action

MANILA, Philippines — TNT hopes the long conference break will do the team well as the Tropang 5G try to rev up their title-retention bid in the PBA Season 50 Governors' Cup with new import Nick Hornsby in tow against Terrafirma on Wednesday at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium. Following a long, seven-week break to give way to Gilas’ international tournaments, the PBA resumes, something that may have given TNT the needed long time off considering it started the conference without some of its key players. But in the tournament’s resumption, the Tropang 5G are welcoming back sharp shooter Calvin Oftana and veteran Jayson Castro, while Hornsby got some time to adjust with his teammates. Game time is at 7:30 p.m. with TNT shooting for its fifth win in nine games against Terrafirma, which enters the match with a 3-5 card. Both teams are looking for the all important win that can galvanize their Top Four hopes in Group A. NLEX and San Miguel Beer lead the with their similar 7-2 slates, while Converge occupies solo third 5-4.  Only the Top Four advance to the crossover semifinals against Group B's best. The Tropang 5G welcome the 31-year-old Hornsby, who incidentally will be the team’s third import for the conference after Darius Day and Rahlir Hollis-Jefferson. Hornsby is fresh off a stint with the Hangtuah Jakarta in the Indonesian Basketball League, while also playing previously for the coming off a recent stint with the Edmonton Stingers   in the Canadian Elite Basketball League. Original import choice Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is still unavailable as he continues the road to recovery since sustaining an Achilles injury while playing for Meralco in the EASL last year. "RHJ still rehabbing. Hopefully, he's ready by quarters," TNT team manager Jojo Lastimosa said. Meanwhile, NLEX will be gunning for its eighth win in 10 starts under new coach Jimmy Alapag when the team battles Macau at 5:15 p.m. The Road Warriors have been a revelation under Alapag, even though the former crack TNT and Gilas playmaker was named the team’s new coach, a few weeks before the tournament started. NLEX will unveil new import Deonte Burton as he takes the spot of Dequan Jones, who sustained a conference-ending injury last August. The Road Warriors will be facing a decimated Black Pandas with key players Ramon Cao, Damian Chongqui, Jenning Leung, and import DeVondre Perry - reportedly will no longer be with the team.

Ateneo looks to continue strong start vs La Salle

Ateneo looks to continue strong start vs La Salle

FACING rival and defending champ De La Salle, Ateneo de Manila looks to continue its strong start in the UAAP Season 89 men's basketball tournament at the Mall of Asia Arena Wednesday. The Blue Eagles face the Green Archers at 6 p.m. in the main event of the day, ticketed separately from the first game between Adamson and National University at 2:30 p.m. Leading Ateneo to a 3-1 start for a share of the standings lead with Far Eastern University, coach Louie Alas emphasized healing for the Eagles rather than focusing on facing their rivals. Ateneo is enjoying a good start including an 87-76 win against NU last Saturday. This follows a gloomy offseason centered on the deaths of players Divine Adili and Rene Baterbonia in a training camp in Dipaculao, Aurora last June. "He's a good coach (coach Topex Robinson). The way we prepared for our previous games, we'll do the same or even prepare harder," said Alas. "Coaching Ateneo is big already. The important thing for me is, like I said, the healing. It's easier to heal when you're winning so that's the big motivation. We'll try to prepare as hard as we can." Alas and Robinson were together in Alaska and Phoenix in the PBA. Now, they lead the protagonists in one of Philippine collegiate basketball's biggest rivalries. “Every, I guess, as a whole, every Ateneo-La Salle game is a different animal," said Robinson, whose team split its season-series against Ateneo last year. "It doesn’t matter where you are at the standings. It doesn’t matter who you’re up against on the other side of the bench. It’s always gonna be something that we always look forward to. "Coach Louie has been part of my growth as a coach as well. We've been together when we were in Alaska. We were together in Phoenix. A lot of my learnings came from him. It's really going to be a very exciting experience for me as a young coach." La Salle is coming off a 112-87 decimation of University of the East last Sunday to snap a 2-game skid and rise to 2-2, tied with NU, UST, and UP from third to sixth places.  Leading the way for Ateneo are rookie and Alas' son Kieffer as well as Jared Bahay who take on the Jacob Cortez and Mason Amos-led La Salle.

Yulo shifts focus to World Championships

LEADING the Philippines at the 20th Asian Games with two gold medals in Japan, gymnast Carlos Yulo shifts his focus to the World Championships from Oct. 17 to 25 in Rotterdam, Netherlands. “I’m gonna do my best and show up,” said Yulo when asked about the matter during the Team Philippines’ “Heroes Welcome” at a hotel in Manila Monday night. While he always strive for excellence, Yulo said he’s out to observe more in the worlds where he’s a 3-time champion already. Yulo ruled the floor exercise in the 2019 edition of the Worlds and the vault apparatus in 2021 and 2025. The 4-foot-11 gymnast topped the same events at the 2024 Paris Olympics, mirroring that performance in the just concluded Asian Games. The two-time Olympic gold medalist said the World Championships next year is the real deal since it will serve as a qualifier for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.  “I’m not expecting anything in the Worlds. I just want to observe the competitors,” said the 26-year-old Yulo.  “The most important is next year’s edition since it will be a qualifier for the Olympics. But for this one, I just want to see the rotation. I’m praying that we will be safe competing there.” “Caloy” will be joined by the national team including his brother Eldrew. The 18-year-old likewise claimed a medal at the Asiad, snaring bronze in horizontal bar.

Fresh start fuels Obiena’s resurgent 2026 season

Fresh start fuels Obiena’s resurgent 2026 season

CHANGING his environment and rediscovering his passion in pole vault powered EJ Obiena’s resurgent 2026 season. Following a down season in 2025, Obiena bounced back and seized 10 gold medals this year including his title defense at the Asian Games in Japan. Obiena aced his second Asiad gold with a meet record 5.91m clearance. “Probably, a different perspective, I’m a little bit happier, I enjoy what I do, I have a much brighter perspective on the sport that I love. Sometimes that matters,” said Obiena. A 2-time Olympian, Obiena said his coaching change and moving his base from Italy to Greece last June to train with his friend and world No. 2 Emmanouil Karalis really moved the needle for him. “Of course that influenced a lot of things, I mean, it’s hard to change a perspective without a change of venue, change of mindset,” said world No. 10 Obiena. aid world No. 10 Obiena. “How do you say this, it’s a natural course, so with that I’m h appy that I’m training with a guy who’s jolly ,who’s enjoyng, I’m learning from him as much as he’s learning from me, and with that, it’s a recipe for good things.” Now coached by Marcin Szczepanski, Obiena said it was hard to part ways with his former coach Vitaly Petrov, though. Petrov trained Obiena for 12 years from 2014 to 2026. The 30-year-old expressed gratitude to Petrov who transformed him into a worldclass pole vaulter. “Of course, Vitaly and I, we talked, he congratulated me, I told him after the competition, we’re good,” said Obiena. “I think we both understood, we’re at that point in our career, that we decided that it would be better for me to move, and with that, I really love the guy, I love him more than just a coach, so with that, I really appreciate his honesty, his transparency, and he still helped me, he helped me get to where I’m at today, and with that, I’m thankful.”

White Sox down Guardians; Yankees on brink after loss

White Sox down Guardians; Yankees on brink after loss

LOS ANGELES — The Chicago White Sox rallied to beat the Cleveland Guardians in the latest stop on their fairytale Major League Baseball playoff run on Monday (Tuesday in Manila) as the New York Yankees edged closer to elimination after a defeat to Tampa Bay. Munetaka Murakami, Braden Montgomery and Chase Meidroth drove in the winning runs for Chicago in a 4-3 victory at Cleveland's Progressive Field that leaves the White Sox with a commanding 2-0 lead in the best-of-five series. The White Sox — carrying the hopes of lifetime fan Pope Leo XIV — are aiming to continue one of the most remarkable turnaround seasons in baseball. After three straight seasons with 100 or more defeats the White Sox finished the regular season with an 84-78 record, snagging the sixth seed in the American League. In their first playoff series since 2021 they ousted the Houston Astros in two games in the Wild Card round. They now need only one more win to return to the AL Championship Series for the first time since their World Series-winning campaign in 2005. White Sox manager Will Venable saluted his team's character after climbing out of an early 2-0 hole to claim victory. "It's the same stuff we have seen all year from this group," Venable said. "There is no stopping. There is just this mentality that we're going to go out and going to play all nine innings, all 27 outs, whatever happens happens. "There's no let down or no discouragement from our group. They just continue to fight and battle." White Sox reliever Sean Burke bottled up the Cleveland offense, giving up just one hit and one run in 5 1/3 innings before being replaced by closer Grant Taylor with two outs in the eighth inning. A triple from Cleveland's Jo Adell made it a one-run game heading to the ninth, but Taylor mopped up the final three outs to seal victory. Cleveland skipper Stephen Vogt admitted his team had left themselves a daunting task as the series moves to Chicago for games three and four. "I am not going to sugarcoat it. We've backed ourselves into a corner," Vogt said. "If there's anything I know about this group of guys is that we love challenges like this. We are going to embrace it." Error-prone Yankees stumble The winner of Chicago and Cleveland's series will face either the Yankees or Tampa Bay Rays for a place in the World Series. The Rays look the likeliest to advance to that showdown after punishing a litany of fielding errors against the Yankees on Monday to claim a 5-2 victory and a 2-0 series lead. The Yankees committed three errors in the first inning alone — tying the record for the most in a postseason opening inning — to cough up an early unearned run against ace Cam Schlittler. A solo shot from Ben Rice in the fourth tied it at 1-1, but the Yankees failed to cash in after loading the bases in the fifth inning. The Rays duly made them pay for that by taking advantage of another fielding error to compile a four-run fifth that made it 5-1, including a two-run single from Richie Palacios. Rice gave the Yankees hope with another solo shot in the eighth, but Rays star closer Bryan Baker came out for the ninth and needed just nine pitches to bag the final three outs and clinch victory. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said his team's calamitous defensive display was "not good enough." "Obviously a really rough night to say the least for us," Boone said. "We've got to get over it. We've responded all year to difficult times and we've got to do that again. "Tonight was just not good enough for us, and certainly not good enough to beat that ball club."

Falcons demolish Saints

Falcons demolish Saints

LOS ANGELES — Atlanta Falcons running backs Bijan and Brian Robinson tore apart the Saints, 45-24, Monday to spoil the party on an emotional night in New Orleans. The Robinsons — no relation — scored five rushing touchdowns between them to silence a crowd that had arrived in boisterous mood for festivities to mark 20 years since the Superdome reopened after Hurricane Katrina. The Saints managed two Alvin Kamara rushing touchdowns, a third caught by Devaughn Vele, and a field goal early in the second half that supporters booed, frustrated by coach Kellen Moore's apparent lack of faith in his offense on 4th down. Victory in the NFC South clash sent the Falcons — revitalized since the return of quarterback Michael Penix Jr. in their previous game — top of their division alongside Carolina, on 2-2, while New Orleans sank to 1-3. "I love the primetime game under the lights. Like, it just brings out a different energy, and I just love it for this team," said Bijan Robinson. The game was a rematch of the original "Domecoming" in late September 2006, when the Superdome reopened after suffering extensive damage in Hurricane Katrina. Katrina slammed into the US Gulf Coast the previous year, causing catastrophic flooding. Over 1,000 died in the disaster. The Superdome served as a last resort shelter for 30,000 storm evacuees even after the hurricane tore a 50-foot hole in its giant white roof, and was rapidly repaired. The original "Domecoming" game saw the Saints come out 23-3 winners, but the home fans' jubilation was short-lived Monday once the actual football began. Bijan Robinson — fresh from two touchdowns on a stunning showing against Green Bay — rushed for another on the second play of the night. He weaved 59 yards with no Saints player even laying a hand on him. New Orleans contributed to its own downfall, missing a field goal, turning over possession on a fumble, and then conceding a holding penalty when an Atlanta 4th and goal attempt appeared to have failed. Bijan Robinson made them pay, rushing for his second. This time, the Saints hit straight back. Quarterback Tyler Shough sent a 44-yard pass to Chris Olave, which was followed by Kamara rushing to the end zone. But Brian Robinson Jr. added touchdowns in the second and third quarters, rendering Kamara's second meaningless. Jahan Dotson added a further touchdown from a 31-yard Penix pass, before Brian Robinson Jr.'s third. Vele took a superb catch for a consolation touchdown with barely a minute left.

Djokovic makes final; Medvedev disqualified

Djokovic makes final; Medvedev disqualified

BEIJING — Novak Djokovic advanced to the China Open final on Monday after Daniil Medvedev was disqualified late in the second set, when a ball that came off the Russian’s racquet hit a spectator. A man sitting in the stands behind Medvedev’s side of the court was seen holding his face and escorted from his seat after being hit, as Djokovic was serving for the match with the score at 7-5, 5-3. Eleventh-ranked Djokovic will play world No. 9 Alex de Minaur for the title Tuesday in Beijing. The Australian had advanced over Hubert Hurkacz after the 29-year-old from Poland retired from their semifinal with an adductor muscle strain. Medvedev’s disqualification arose from a moment deep in the match. When he failed to return a point, the ball bounced off the back wall and Medvedev hit it with a backhand up into the stands, with the chair umpire stopping play. “Terribly sorry to the spectator, first of all,” he told reporters afterwards, adding it was “100 percent an accident” and that he wished to apologize to the fan in person. “The ball was bouncing back, so I tried to, like, just hit it anywhere, so it doesn’t go out from the court,” he said. It had been a physical battle before Medvedev’s disqualification. Djokovic was red-faced and hunched over between points, with both players forcing each other through grueling rallies, until the Serbian took control in the second set. The 39-year-old put on a dazzling performance and saved 16 break points across the match, diving at the baseline and sprinting to the net. “I didn’t see what happened, to be honest,” Djokovic told the crowd after the fan was hit. “I’m sure that Daniil didn’t ... do it intentionally. It happened by accident. Sorry for the crowd,” he said, adding that it had been a tough contest. “I know the feeling,” Djokovic told reporters later, recounting his own disqualifica- tion from the 2020 US Open after accidentally hitting a ball at a line judge. “It’s horrible ... but it happens,” he said. Although Djokovic was three points away from winning the match, he said victory wouldn’t have come easy and that he got “lucky” in a “very exhausting” battle. ‘Gave everything’ In the women’s draw, third-seeded Coco Gauff dispatched Chinese teenager Sun Xinran, 7-5, 6-1, to secure a meeting with Belgium’s Elise Mertens in the round of 16. “Today was really just about feeling,” said the 22-year-old American, adding that it could be tough to play young players with styles largely unknown. “I was just trying not to get frustrated out there,” Gauff added, with a loud crowd behind the 16-year-old. Former world No. 1 Iga Swiatek staged a comeback to advance, dominating a must-win tie-break to beat Croatia’s Donna Vekic, 4-6, 7-6 (7/0), 6-2. “I was just angry, wanted to change something, because clearly it wasn’t working,” the 25-year-old from Poland said on court. “Sometimes if you care a bit less because you’re ... probably going to lose, it also helps you a bit,” she told reporters. She will face American teenager Iva Jovic for a spot in the quarterfinals. China’s Zheng Qinwen was tested by Marie Bouzkova, enduring her third three-setter of the tournament to beat the Czech player, 7-6 (7/3), 4-6, 7-5. She pulled out some of her most accurate tennis to clinch the last two games and win when 27th-ranked Bouzkova fired long. “I gave everything,” said Zheng, who had already spent more than five hours on court in the first two rounds. “Truthfully speaking, I felt a lot of pressure today,” the 23-year-old told her home crowd, thanking fans for their support. Zheng, the current world No. 54, next plays 118th-ranked Alina Charaeva, who s e n t o u t top seed Elena Rybakina in the second round.

NBA tests new high-tech equipment

NEW YORK — The NBA is experimenting with two pieces of technology in the leadup to the season, the league announced Monday (Tuesday in Manila). Select exhibition games will include a smart basketball that has a Bluetooth sensor in it and can collect data for future use in real-time officiating decisions. The league said the information from the Wilson-developed connected balls will be for research only and not affect calls made during those games. Officials in select games will also use wrist wearables to communicate with the replay center in designated situations, including replay reviews, scoring changes and clock malfunctions. The wearables went through what the NBA called a successful pilot program during the summer league. The technology will not extend into the regular season.

PH hockey looking for new head coach

MANILA, Philippines — Hockey Philippines on Monday said they are looking for a new head coach for their national team. Earlier this year, Czech coach Václav Drábek coached the men’s national team to a winless campaign at the recent International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) World Championships Division 3B in Hong Kong. Drábek replaced Finnish mentor Juhani Ijäs only last February, before the country’s campaign in the recent world championships. “Hockey Philippines is looking for a dedicated and qualified Ice Hockey Coach to join our program,” the federation said. “We are seeking someone who can bring strong leadership, technical expertise, and a commitment to developing our athletes and growing Philippine ice hockey,” it added. The national team was supposed to be relegated to Division IV for 2027, but remained in division 3B because the lower division did not play their divisional tournament because of the ongoing war in the Middle East.

Asian Games head to Qatar in 2030

Asian Games head to Qatar in 2030

NAGOYA, Japan — The 20th Asian Games were a blur, a sports kaleidoscope of 45 countries and regions that went dark on Sunday, closed officially by Sheikh Joaan bin Hamad Al Thani, the president of the Olympic Council of Asia. The games featured about 11,000 athletes — more than the Summer Olympics two years ago in Paris. And now they head west to Doha, Qatar, in 2030. This will be a homecoming. Sheikh Joaan is a Qatari, a younger brother of the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Al Thani. Amid the whirlwind of 43 sports — there were many regional specialties featured like kurash, kabaddi and sepaktakraw — the games provided a glimpse at many top athletes who will compete again in two years at the Los Angeles Olympics. China topped the medal table as it has for decades with 169 gold and 341 overall. Japan was second with 83 gold and 269 overall. South Korea (39, 150) was next followed by India (21, 85), Uzbekistan (21, 70) and Iran (19, 52). Forty of the 45 countries or regions won at least one medal. The bottom four won only a single bronze medal: Bangladesh, Brunei, Laos and Syria. Athletes to watch in Olympics Japanese 17-year-old Shin Ohashi set a swimming world record in the 200-meter breaststroke (2 minutes, 4.83 seconds), the first to swim under 2:05. Also in the pool, Chinese 13-year-old female Yu Zidi won the 200 butterfly and the 200 and 400 medley relays. Organizers named her the female MVP of the event. Zhang Zhanshou was the other prominent Chinese swimmer, a freestyler who won seven gold medals. The male MVP was track and field sprinter Puripol Boonson of Thailand, who clocked 9.90 in the 100 and 19.88 in the 200. India defeated bitter rival Pakistan for gold in men’s cricket, and South Korea’s men won both the baseball and soccer gold. That granted team members an exemption from mandatory military service at home. Tom Kim also picked up the exemption, taking men’s singles golf. Mixed martial arts also debuted, without the cage and with fighters wearing gloves and shin pads. Proponents talk of a long-shot to land in the 2032 Olympics in Brisbane, Australia. Organizers offer defense Organizers and the OCA offered an aggressive defense of the games, which were dotted with glitches and larger mistakes. Japanese organizers put on what they termed “sustainable” games — no athletes village, lodging for athletes on a cruise ship, in hotels and in temporary containers. The transportation system was also stressed by venues that stretched from Nagoya, the host city, across central Japan. Swimming was in Tokyo with some soccer in Osaka. Despite the focus on austerity and “no white-elephants,” organizers and the OCA added a half-dozen sports to the program. They planned for 15,000 athletes and officials, but they said 17,000 arrived through late registrations. To cram in more sports, organizers began the basketball competition on Sept. 10, nine days before the official opening. The Olympics often do the same, starting two or three days ahead — but not nine. “We had some delays of buses and we’d like to apologize for that,” Hideaki Omura, the governor of Aichi prefecture and the head of the organizing committee, said Sunday. He described the event as having faced “huge challenges.” Some of the glitches included buses heading to the wrong destination, the North Korean anthem played at a field hockey match between South Korea and Bangladesh, and an initial scramble to find beds for all 17,000 officials and athletes. As is usual at large events, audible complaints seemed to fall off once the event got rolling and the sports took over. Fallout from Tokyo Games Nagoya was awarded this event in 2016 — before Covid-19 and before the Tokyo Olympics were delayed until 2021. Japan officially spent $13 billion on the Tokyo Games although a government report said the real number might be twice that much, Nagoya organizers in 2016 announced a budget of roughly $650 million, but late in 2025 they said the budget had swollen to about $2.5 billion — almost four times as much. The Japanese advertising giant Dentsu, convicted of bid-rigging connected to the Tokyo Olympics, was kept out of bidding on contracts for the Asian Games. Dentsu has wide experience running large sports events and lining up sponsors. “Yes, the organizing committee had challenges,” said Husain Al Musallam, the director general of the OCA. “But our duty and responsibility as leaders was to work hard with the organizing committee, to help Japan demonstrate to the world that Japan can deliver.”

Hong Kong’s rising fencing star Harris Ho confident of gold at Youth Olympic Games

Rising fencing star Harris Ho Shing-him said for the coming Youth Olympic Games he only had one goal in mind: to win the gold medal. Hong Kong have never won any individual gold medals at the Youth Olympic Games since their inception in 2010, and while teenager Ho had “no idea” who he might face in the capital city of Senegal, he was determined to succeed. “I had a one-week break after the Asian Games and that’s enough for me. I am ready to get going again,” the 17-year-old said. “I am confident...
