Why World Athletics will remain tough on athletes switching nationalities

World Athletics President Sebastian Coe has reaffirmed his hardline stance on athletes switching nationalities, insisting that the integrity of global athletics depends on competitors representing the countries where their careers began.Speaking at a press conference during the World Athletics Relays in Gaborone, Botswana, Coe made it clear that the governing body will not soften its position, especially in cases driven by financial incentives rather than genuine personal ties.Download our Mozzart Sport App for more news“The concept is very simple, there should be a very clear understanding and philosophy that the country an athlete starts their career in is the country that they finish their career in,” Coe said.His remarks come in the wake of World Athletics blocking a high-profile attempt by several elite athletes, including Kenyans and Jamaicans, to switch allegiance to Turkey ahead of the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.Former marathon world record holder Brigid Kosgei was among..

It’s over: Inter are Serie A champions!

In the last six years, one team has clearly dominated Serie A – Inter Milan. Nerazzurri were the most consistent team in recent seasons and only once did they allowed themselves to lose the title due to their own mistakes (season 2021/22). But never again did they made that mistake and whenever they were in their recognizable form, nobody could match them. To be fair, the other Italian giants like Juventus and Milan are facing deep organizational and long-term strategy problems, which resulted in their inability to properly challenge Inter for the title, but that’s not Inter’s problem. Nerazzurri are led by the best football executive in Italy, Giuseppe Marotta, who always finds a way to win, either with smart transfers, or with a surprise coach hire like Cristian Chivu.C’EST DE LA FOLIE AU MEAZZA ⚫️🔵 pic.twitter.com/fGeK0EPeEl— Inter FR (@InterMilanFRA) May 3, 2026 That is why Inter had no pressure in front of their fans as they needed only a point and they got all three: Inter – Parm..

Spurs out of relegation zone after a win over Villa

Tonight’s game between Aston Villa and Tottenham was never meant to be important for the home team. Unai Emery’s men have all but secured the Champions League place and even after a 2-1 loss from Tottenham they only need to win against Burnley next week and their place will be safe. But the manner in which they lost tonight is deeply worried. A team which is fifth on the table and can secure Europa League final on Thursday played their worst game of the season, failed to make a single shot for the first hour of play and annoyed their fans. Home supporters were pictured shouting at the players and abusing them for their lack of effort, while Tottenham did everything opposite.The Spurs finally got a win last week against Wolves and tonight they showed a bit of that Roberto De Zerbi enthusiasm. They ran like mad, they fought for every ball, they created chances and they got back their self-confidence. With this huge win, they leapfrogged West Ham who are now in relegation zone.

Borussia defeat Borussia

The football played by Borussia Dortmund this afternoon was, quite literally, painful to watch. What else can you say about a team that managed just one shot in the first half—and even that attempt was blocked? Niko Kovač said before the match that not every team in the Bundesliga can play attractive football like Bayern Munich, but they certainly don’t have to play like this either, as Dortmund did against Borussia Mönchengladbach (0–1).🚩 Live: Borussia M 1-0 Dortmund⚽️ Goal: Tabakovic (90′) pic.twitter.com/lhWqXVUGvA— Goals Clips (@goalsclips) May 3, 2026 The home side actually has plenty to regret, especially several good chances in the first 45 minutes when they were in control of almost everything, while Dortmund struggled even to reach the opponent’s penalty area, let alone deliver a final pass to Serhou Guirassy. From the start, the hosts imposed a high tempo, which led to a chance for Joe Scally. The American pounced on a rebound midway through the first half and struck it well..

Juve shooting themselves in the foot against relegated Verona

Juventus FC are a chaotic team—both in attack and in defense. But, as so many times this season before his injury, Dušan Vlahović was there to save the Bianconeri from embarrassment. Admittedly, Juventus still dropped points, drawing at home against Hellas Verona, a side heading for relegation to Serie B. But without Vlahović’s free kick, things could have been even worse—1–1. Coach Luciano Spalletti sent the Serbian striker on at halftime to rescue what could be rescued, as Juventus have had largely ineffective forwards—aside from Dušan—all season long. Vlahović delivered in the 62nd minute: he placed the ball for a free kick from over 20 meters and the goalkeeper expected a shot over the wall, but the Juventus striker caught him off guard—no chance to save it.Vlahovic goal #UndaRated 📈 pic.twitter.com/E4tSucjhQp— UndaRated (@Unda_Rated) May 3, 2026 Vlahović came on with huge desire—eager to play, hungry for goals—after struggling to find rhythm due to recurring injuries.
