Emma Finucane struck gold twice for Wales on Saturday to take her tally for the Commonwealth Games to three golds by winning the women’s sprint and 1000 metre time trial.Following her part in the team sprint victory on Friday, Finucane became the first Welsh woman to win three gold medals at a single Commonwealth Games and could make it four on the final day of the event on Sunday.”Every time I go up there and sing the anthem I’m just really trying to soak it in, my family are right in front of me and these moments are why I ride my bike,” said the 23-year-old.”I absolutely love what I do, so I just want to go out there and ride my bike and enjoy every moment.”Finucane is aiming for a clean sweep when she rides in the keirin on the final day of the Games.”Anything is a bonus now,” added the three-time Olympic medallist at Paris 2024.”I didn’t think I’d get one gold medal to be honest. I came here with a dream and I feel like I’m living an absolute movie.”The keirin is a bonus. I’ve got my three gold medals, I’m going to go into it and leave everything behind on the track, get stuck in and what will be will be. I’ll keep dreaming, but I’m really proud no matter what.” ANNA ADDED SECOND GOLDAnna Morris also added her second gold medal of a dream few days in the Chris Hoy Velodrome for Wales with victory in the 25km points race.English teenager Henry Hobbs capitalised on a chaotic end to the men’s 10km scratch race, succeeding in a sprint finish ahead of Australia’s Thomas Cornish following a mass crash in the closing stages.Leigh Hoffman added to Australia’s commanding position at the top of the medals table with victory in the men’s sprint.Neil Fachie rounded off his career by adding a seventh Commonwealth gold medal after the tandem B sprint final was forced to a re-run following a crash with Welshman James Ball.A bloodied Fachie, who secured his second gold of the week alongside guide Aaron Pope.”The last thing you want to be doing is sliding along this track. A track that I love, but I didn’t want to get to know it this well,” said the 42-year-old.”The team came along, helped us off and cleaned us up and made sure we were all right to ride, and we were somewhat fired up. It’s almost like they poked the bear there.” Related Story Source link

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, offers a speech at Tsinghua University, in Beijing, Monday. (Reuters) Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez Monday said China should take on a more substantial role with issues including climate change, security, defence and the fight against inequality, adding that Europe will also have to redouble its efforts as the US withdraws from leadership roles on many fronts.Sanchez, who is making his fourth visit to China in four years, spoke at Beijing’s Tsinghua University.His visit comes as many Western governments seek to maintain engagement with Beijing despite lingering security and trade tensions. It follows visits to China earlier this year by the prime ministers of Britain, Ireland, Canada and Finland.Spain has been one of Europe’s loudest proponents of expanding trade and treating China as a strategic ally rather than an economic and geopolitical rival.Sanchez said China could do more in terms of fighting climate change, promoting global health, controlling the development of responsible artificial intelligence as well as nuclear weapons.”For example, by demanding as it is doing, that international law be respected and that the conflicts in Lebanon, Iran, Gaza and the West Bank and Ukraine cease,” he said.”Europe will also have to redouble its efforts, especially now that the US has decided to withdraw from many of these fronts.”Sanchez is expected to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping today where they are expected to focus on geopolitics.China accounted for 74% of Spain’s total trade deficit, Sanchez said, adding that co-operation was important to build a “balanced, globalised economy that generates shared prosperity.”Madrid hopes Sanchez’s visit will narrow Spain’s trade deficit, which more than doubled in four years to nearly $50bn in 2025. It is looking to boost agricultural and manufacturing exports to offset high volumes of China’s imports.China’s official news agency Xinhua Monday said Sanchez’s visit was set to further consolidate bilateral ties and pointed to a broader pathway for steady engagement between China and Europe at a time of growing global uncertainty.
