Littler remporte le titre de Jeune Star Sportive de l'Année

-

Le prodige du darts âgé de dix-sept ans, Luke Littler, a été couronné Jeune Personnalité Sportive de l’Année 2024 par la BBC, une distinction qui récompense ses exploits exceptionnels dans le domaine.



Littler s’est fait connaître à l’échelle nationale à seulement 16 ans lorsqu’il est devenu le plus jeune joueur à atteindre la finale du Championnat du Monde PDC, où il s’est incliné face à Luke Humphries.


Dans les mois qui ont suivi, il a remporté plusieurs titres majeurs, notamment la Premier League de Darts, le Grand Chelem de Darts, les Finales de la World Series, ainsi que des victoires dans des tournois internationaux tels que le Bahrain Darts Masters, le Poland Darts Masters, le Belgian Darts Open et l’Austrian Darts Open.


Ces exploits ont non seulement mis en lumière le talent exceptionnel de Littler, mais ont également contribué à populariser le darts auprès des jeunes générations.


Lors de la remise du prix, Littler a exprimé sa surprise et sa gratitude en déclarant : « Cela montre à quel point j’ai bien performé cette année. Mais pas seulement moi, (nous) avons changé le sport du darts, avec tous les autres professionnels, mais j’ai joué un rôle important dans ce changement. »


En plus de cet honneur, Littler a terminé deuxième lors du vote public pour le prix principal de la Personnalité Sportive de l’Année de la BBC, soulignant son impact sur le paysage sportif britannique.


Le prix principal a été décerné à Keely Hodgkinson, médaillée d’or olympique, en reconnaissance de ses exploits remarquables en athlétisme.


La montée fulgurante de Littler dans l’univers du darts et cette reconnaissance prestigieuse laissent entrevoir un avenir prometteur pour ce jeune athlète.

Liverpool will 'stay humble' - but lead at top 'feels different'

-
At first it was just a small section of fans singing it. 'Liverpool, Liverpool, top of the league... Liverpool, top of the league' they chanted after Curtis Jones marked his 100th Premier League appearance by sweeping his side into a 2-1 lead against struggling Leicester. It was much louder after Mohamed Salah scored his 19th club goal of the season in the 82nd minute to seal a 3-1 win. Having fallen behind in the fifth minute, Liverpool were well on their way to a win that propelled them seven points clear at the top with one game in hand on their nearest rivals. Of course, Liverpool have been here before. In the 2018-19 season, they led by 10 points only for Manchester City to win the title. "It feels different," Salah, who is out of contract in the summer, told Amazon Prime about Liverpool's advantage at the top after overcoming Leicester. "But the most important thing is we need to stay humble. "This one is very special, hopefully we win the...

Notre Dame Defeats Indiana in Historic Expanded CFP Opener

-
Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman was thrilled after the historic win. "I've never experienced anything like that," he said. "It’s rare in life to be the first to do something, but tonight, we were the first to play and win a playoff game in Notre Dame Stadium. That’s something we’ll cherish forever." Defensive coordinator Al Golden, who has helped build a strong defense, reflected on the significance of the moment. "Notre Dame's history is so rich that it's hard to be part of a 'first,' but now everyone in that locker room can say they were part of history," Golden said. Notre Dame jumped to a 14-0 lead early, thanks to Jeremiyah Love’s record-breaking 98-yard touchdown run and a long 16-play drive ending in Riley Leonard’s pass to Jayden Thomas. Love’s run was the longest in CFP history, tied for the longest in Notre Dame history, and the longest play Indiana has ever allowed. Despite recovering from a knee injury and illness, Love ma...
