In the main event, Shawn Michaels challenges The British Bulldog for the European Championship in front of a passionate hometown crowd that expected to witness Bulldog's crowning moment. Instead, the WWF delivers one of the most debated booking decisions of the era, creating a memorable and emotional conclusion that would have lasting ramifications for the Hart Foundation and the road to Survivor Series. Elsewhere on the card, Bret Hart battles Undertaker, Owen Hart clashes with Vader, and Dude Love takes on Hunter Hearst-Helmsley as the WWF continues its rapid evolution toward the Attitude Era. JT & Chad discuss the unique atmosphere of a major WWF event held overseas, the crowd reactions throughout the night, and how the company balanced its international audience with its ongoing storylines. JT & Chad break down: • Shawn Michaels vs The British Bulldog for the European Championship • The controversial finish and its long-term impact • Bret Hart vs Undertaker • Dude Love vs Hunter Hearst Helmsley • The Hart Foundation's future • The event's place in the build toward Survivor Series 1997 • Whether One Night Only deserves more recognition among WWF's 1997 pay-per-views Was One Night Only an underrated gem from the Attitude Era's formative months, or a missed opportunity to capitalize on one of the hottest acts in wrestling?

Olympian Ciara Mageean spent her career representing Ireland and Northern Ireland, including a Gold at the 1500m European Championships in 2024, a year before the cancer diagnosis that ended her career. She talks to Brendan about her career, her terminal diagnosis, grief for the life she'll never have and why we should all live in the moment.

We open with an update on Jelle Geens, who has been diagnosed with a stress reaction in his femur that has put his season on hold, including his pursuit of an Ironman World Championship qualification slot. Then we get into Lionel Sanders, who has confirmed he is working again with Mikal Iden after a difficult stretch dealing with RED-S and injury. Sanders is leaning into the Norwegian method as he targets Kona 2026. The big story of the week is Ironman Hamburg, where metal shards were deliberately spread across the bike course in the Kirchwerder area, causing an estimated 400 punctures and forcing more than 100 age groupers to DNF. Police have launched a formal investigation. Despite all of that, the pro race went ahead and Solveig Løvseth took her fourth consecutive full-distance Ironman win, holding off Laura Philipp by just over a minute to claim the European Championship title. We then recap T100 San Francisco, where Rico Bogen backed up his 2025 win with another dominant performance, going early on the bike and never looking back. Hayden Wilde, dealing with illness, had no answer for him. We close out looking ahead to Ironman Frankfurt on June 28, where Gustav Iden and Casper Stornes lead the field, and Magnus Ditlev finally makes his long-awaited 2026 season debut, plus a look at other upcoming start lists.

Clare bodybuilders are working to revive Ireland's national bodybuilding federation, aiming to rebuild structure and support for athletes competing both at home and internationally. Among those leading the effort is Clare athlete Ewelina Hrynkiewicz, who recently returned from the European Championships with two silver medals. To reflect on competing at elite level, the challenges Irish bodybuilding has faced since the decline of the RIBBF, and why restoring a national federation is vital for the sport's future, Alan Morrissey was joined by Ewelina Hrynkiewicz-Kucybala, Shannon bodybuilder.

fWotD Episode 3324: UEFA Euro 2016 final Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 11 June 2026, is UEFA Euro 2016 final.The UEFA Euro 2016 final was the final match of UEFA Euro 2016, the fifteenth edition of the European Championship, UEFA's quadrennial competition for national football teams. The match was played at the Stade de France in Paris, France, on 10 July 2016, and was contested between Portugal and hosts France.The 24-team tournament began with a group stage, from which 16 teams qualified for the knockout stage. En route to the final, Portugal finished third in Group F, with draws against Iceland, Austria and Hungary. Portugal then defeated Croatia in the last 16, Poland in the quarter-finals after a penalty shoot-out, and progressed to the final after beating Wales 2–0 in the semi-finals. Meanwhile, France finished as winners of Group A, beating Romania and Albania before drawing with Switzerland. In the knockout stage, France defeated the Republic of Ireland in the last 16, Iceland in the quarter-finals, and progressed to the final after beating Germany 2–0 in the semi-finals.The final took place in front of 75,868 spectators, and was refereed by English official Mark Clattenburg. Following a goalless 90 minutes which saw Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo depart the match through injury, Portugal then took the lead in the 108th minute through substitute Eder, after his low shot from 25 yards (23 m) beat France goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. This would prove to be the contest's only goal, as Portugal won 1–0 to claim their first major tournament title.In winning the final, Portugal became the tenth different nation to win the European Championship, twelve years after losing their first final, at home in the 2004 tournament. France became the second host team to lose the final, after Portugal, and suffered their first defeat at a major tournament hosted in the country since the 1960 European Nations' Cup third-place play-off against Czechoslovakia. This was the fifth European Championship final to end in a draw after 90 minutes of play, and the second whose winners were decided by extra time, after the inaugural final in 1960. As the winners, Portugal gained entry into their first FIFA Confederations Cup, which was played in Russia in 2017.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:52 UTC on Thursday, 11 June 2026.For the full current version of the article, see UEFA Euro 2016 final on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Arthur.

The 2026 Men's World Cup will place unprecedented demands on international teams: 48 nations, 104 matches and a tournament staged across Canada, Mexico and the United States, with teams required to manage heat, humidity, altitude, travel and limited recovery time. In this episode of the Science for Sport Podcast, Richard Graves is joined by Dr Ben Rosenblatt, Founder of 292 Performance and former Lead Men's Physical Performance Coach at The Football Association. Ben draws on his experience preparing the England men's football team for two World Cups and a European Championship, alongside his work with Olympic athletes, GB Hockey and elite performers across a range of sports. The conversation explores what it really takes to prepare athletes for tournament football at the highest level. Ben discusses why physical preparation cannot begin when players arrive in camp, how small doses of training can create meaningful change during a tournament, and why “available” is very different from “ready to compete” when returning players from injury. He also explains the physical and psychological challenges of competing in extreme environments, from heat and altitude to fatigue and pressure, and shares how the best performance teams use data, observation, communication and athlete understanding together to make better decisions. For practitioners working in elite sport, this episode offers a detailed insight into preparing players not simply to take part in major tournaments, but to perform when the demands are at their highest. In this episode you will learn Why effective tournament preparation starts months before the first game. How England used micro-dosed strength training during the 2018 World Cup to improve players' power and hamstring strength. Why athletes must continually adapt and “reinvent” themselves to sustain performance at the highest level. How Ben used daily monitoring with GB Hockey to prepare players for the demands of eight matches in 13 days at the Rio Olympics. Why data should be considered alongside observation, athlete feedback, staff conversations and practitioner judgement. The difference between returning a player to availability and preparing them to compete in the decisive stages of a major tournament. How performance teams can prepare players for heat, humidity, altitude and travel during the 2026 World Cup. Why recovery, nutrition, strength training and sprint exposure must be individualised rather than delivered as a single team-wide solution. How clarity, trust and pressure training help athletes execute when the stakes are highest. What the best high-performance environments look and feel like behind the scenes. About Dr Ben Rosenblatt Dr Ben Rosenblatt is the Founder and Director of 292 Performance, a multidisciplinary performance consultancy supporting elite athletes and organisations. He previously served as Lead Men's Physical Performance Coach at The Football Association, where he supported the England men's senior team through two World Cups and a European Championship. His career has also included work with the British Olympic Association, GB Hockey, elite football and Olympic athletes across multiple Games. Ben holds a PhD in biomechanics and motor learning, and his work focuses on helping athletes and teams prepare for the most demanding moments in high-performance sport.

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP   You don't have a career in pro cycling as long as Matteo Trentin's without being strong, smart, and totally dedicated to the sport. I was so excited to sit down with Matteo when I was across in Europe during the Spring Classics and find out more about the life and career of one of the wiliest riders in the peloton.   That's right, guys, this month's ep sees me spinning a yarn with Matteo Trentin over a crisp acqua frizzante - it was in between Wevelgem and Flanders, after all - and hearing the story of his career on the bike.    Since turning professional with Quickstep at the end of 2011, Matteo's bounced between some of the biggest teams in the sport; from Greenedge to CCC, through to UAE Emirates and now riding for Tudor Pro Cycling. Along the way he's bagged himself three stage wins at the Tour de France, four stages at the Vuelta, a stage at the Giro, AND, as if that wasn't enough, a European Championships title ahead of none other than Wout van Aert and Mathieu Van Der Poel.    But he's not just good on paper. Watch any classic bike race, and more often than not you'll see Matteo right there in the thick of the action during the decisive moment. He never misses. Over a decade and a half in the sport, he's built up a reputation as being one of the most intelligent racers in the whole bunch, and I loved hearing about his mentality in the races, his ability to surf the bunch, and how he always looks out for ‘the watch dog'.    At just 17 years old, Matteo served a short ban for a salbutamol positive. I wanted to find out how this shaped the rest of his career, and Matteo's open and candid answer speaks volumes about his professionalism and his mindset as a rider.    This is a real racer's episode. We talk about the grit and grime of the sharp end of the Spring Classics, the harsh reality of coming back from injury and disappointment, and what it takes to have a long and successful career like Matteo's.    I absolutely loved my chat with Matteo, and I hope you do too. If you followed this year's classics then you'll know, sadly, a few days after recording this ep Matteo hit the deck at the Tour of Flanders and broke his collarbone…for the first time in his career - which, if you ask me, is a pretty good ratio in 16 years pro. He's on the comeback trail now and is getting ready to return to the pelo again and show those young guns how the vintage riders do it; with race craft, dedication, and a touch of Italian flair.   Crack open a bottle of vino, plate up the antipasto, and get your ears around this awesome chat with Matteo Trentin.    Cheers Mitch   This episode is sponsored by JOIN Cycling.

He's been in the role for just over 18 months having taken on the mantle of GB head coach from Bill Furniss, and Steven Tigg is looking forward to a summer of international competition on two fronts, the Commonwealth Games and the European Championships. But as GB head coach he can only really influence one, so how does he navigate that tension and how has he found stepping up from a performance centre into the top job? We spoke to him about following on from the hugely successful era that went before, his thoughts on the current state of the GB programme and what he hopes the team can achieve in Paris this summer as a stepping stone onto the 2028 Olympics.-------------------Episode Artwork: Ian MacNicol/Scottish Swimming-------------------Review, subscribe, share on Apple, Google, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts---------------------Connect on social:- X  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@pullbuoy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- Instagram  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@pullbuoyuk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- Facebook ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@pullbuoyuk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

rWotD Episode 3281: FIBA U16 Women's EuroBasket Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Tuesday, 28 April 2026, is FIBA U16 Women's EuroBasket.The FIBA U16 Women's EuroBasket is the new name for the FIBA U16 Women's European Championship, originally known as the FIBA European Championship for Cadettes. It's a women's youth basketball competition that was inaugurated with the 1976 edition. Through the 2003 edition, it was held every second year, but since the 2004 edition onward, it is held every year. The tournament serves as a qualification for the FIBA Under-17 Women's Basketball World Cup in odd years, for the FIBA Europe region. The current champions are Finland.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:17 UTC on Tuesday, 28 April 2026.For the full current version of the article, see FIBA U16 Women's EuroBasket on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Amy.

“Once you become a champion instead of a medalist, it shifts something. I used to think a medal was the best thing ever. Now I'd probably be a little disappointed with just a medal. That's a blessing and a curse.”My guest for today's episode is Georgia Hunter Bell. In March, at the World Indoor Championships in Torun, Georgia won gold in the 1500m, completing a remarkable arc from Olympic bronze in Paris in 2024 to World Indoor silver in Tokyo in 2025 to world champion this spring. She did it as part of one of the most extraordinary 28-minute stretches in British athletics history, with Keely Hodgkinson and Molly Caudery becoming world champions in the same session.Georgia only went fully professional in April 2024. Before that she was working a corporate job that was about to transfer her to Sydney. In the two years since, she has put together three World Championship podiums, has run personal bests across the 800m and 1500m, and built one of the more unusual training models in elite middle-distance running while still averaging about 30 miles a week, doing long bike rides instead of second runs, and apparently ending most track sessions on the ground.In this conversation, caught from the middle of April camp in South Africa, Georgia walks through the full arc of what it took to go from bronze to silver to gold, the European Indoor heartbreak in 2025 that set up Torun, what she learned from last year's Tokyo World Championships and what she felt crossing the finish line as world champion.We also get into the outdoor season ahead with Commonwealth Games and European Championships on home soil, the 1500m European record. I also get into the awkward and wonderful question of whether she wants to be in Keely's 800m world record race and her own self-belief in attaining that. Plus, where the world indoor title sits in the athletics title pyramid.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavezGuest: Georgia Hunter Bell | @georgiahunterbellProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSXENDURANCE: When you finish a hard workout, the work isn't actually done.

We start by catching up with Alyssa McElheny after her attempt to get a 2nd race in before the cutoff for The HYROX Warsaw Major. Saliva slowed her down, let's find out why. Then the Not So Live Show with Cheryl, Matt and Dave. Old people talk: seatbelts, 8-tracks, and riding in the back of cars HYROX Cancun: race, vacation, or full racecation The "I could go sub-60" guy who ran 1:25 Why HYROX is harder than people think (Murph denial included) Cancun race setup: one lap course, rain, platforms, fireworks Destination races and the rise of the HYROX racecation Fall North America cities announced: Nashville, Tampa, Salt Lake City, Denver Altitude debates and racing for fun vs chasing PRs HYROX growth moment in America and the viral schedule post New women emerging with fast times and the next Elite 15 contenders Alyssa's penalty, judging standards, and the "benefit of the doubt" debate Elite 15 rule enforcement and communication issues The role of media in covering the sport honestly New Worlds qualification rule: no roll-downs after the initial offer Quick preview of the European Championship race and who we want to win We start with some old-school nostalgia before getting into HYROX Cancun and the idea of a true racecation. The conversation moves quickly into how hard HYROX actually is, sparked by the classic "I could go sub-60" claim, and what the Cancun course setup revealed about race design. From there, we get into the bigger picture. HYROX growth in North America, the newly announced fall cities, and the ongoing debate between racing for PRs versus racing for the experience. We also look at emerging athletes, especially on the women's side, and what the next version of the Elite 15 could look like. The back half of the episode focuses on rules and governance. Alyssa's penalty, judging consistency, and the broader issue of communication from HYROX all come up, along with the newly announced Worlds qualification rule removing roll-downs after the initial offer. We wrap with a quick look ahead to the European Championship and who we think could take it. Listen on Apple or Spotify Support us through The Cup Of Coffee Follow Hybrid Fitness Media on IG

The story of Casement Park is a metaphor for post conflict Northern Ireland.Once there was a dream about a shining stadium on a hill, a stadium which would benefit everyone in the north when it hosted matches at the European Championships in 2028.Two years ago, that dream ended when the British government said they would not fund the cost of the stadium which had ‘risen dramatically' during years of obstruction and resistance. The benefit to all communities of Euro 2028 was gone but for some it mattered more that a GAA stadium would not be built. On Free State we look at what the ongoing battle to build Casement tells us about Northern Ireland. Gordon Lyons, the minister responsible, says there is a ‘funding gap'. But is the real chasm something more fundamental? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Send a textWelcome Back to The Agegroup Multisport Podcast, this episode feature Alison Waters. Alison says "  I got into tri in 2019 but then covid stopped me from entering my first race until 2021. A few middle distance and one long distance later and I qualified for the European Long Distance Tri champs in Almere in Sept 2024 which was an amazing experience - it was only my second full distance tri. I'm in my early 50s, mum of two, not from a triathlon or athletic background but I got into running in my 40s. I couldn't swim a few years ago so had to learn and overcome a massive fear of water to even consider triathlon. So basically from zero to representing GB!A great reminder to anyone even if you haven't had a sporting childhood its never too late to achieve.Support the show

From blogging about life in wheelchair rugby to speaking candidly about relationships, identity, and independence, he brings a refreshing voice to the conversation. This episode of Walk and Roll Live explores elite sport, life beyond the medal podium, and what it truly means to belong—on and off the court. Walk and Roll Live   

In the last 12 months, Andreas Almgren has rewritten European distance running history.He ran 26:45 for 10,000m (beating his previous European record), 12:44 for 5,000m and 58:41 for the half marathon.That's three European records in one calendar year. What makes Andreas' story so compelling is the winding road that led to these records: he was one of Europe's most promising middle distance talents a decade ago, winning 800m bronze at the 2014 World Athletics U20 Championships before finishing fourth at the 2015 European Indoor Championships at the age of 19. But a prolonged period of uncertainty and injury forced him to make a pivot to the longer stuff, and boy did he succeed there.In 2025 he won a bronze medal in the men's 10,000m final at the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo. Andreas' next confirmed major event is the Drammen 10,000m in April, followed by the European Championships in August. He has chosen to skip the indoor season to focus on road races and the main outdoor championships and drop down to the 1500m in a Diamond League meet in June. From winning 800m medals as a teenager to smashing European records, Andreas is brimming with confidence and poised to make 2026 the best year yet in a storied running career.Tap into the Andreas Almgren Special. If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review! I would also appreciate it if you share it with your friend who you think will benefit from it. Comment the word “PODCAST” below and I'll DM you a link to listen. If this episode blesses you, please share it with a friend!S H O W  N O T E S-The Run Down By The Running Effect (our new newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rs-Our Website: https://therunningeffect.run -THE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClLcLIDAqmJBTHeyWJx_wFQ-My Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/therunningeffect/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-Take our podcast survey: https://tinyurl.com/3ua62ffz
