NEW YORK -- Both Joel Embiid and Kelly Oubre Jr. missed shootaround for the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday ahead of Game 5 of their first-round series against the New York Knicks.

Embiid missed it with a migraine, while Oubre had an illness. Embiid, who was already questionable with left knee injury management, remains so, while Oubre was put on the injury report as probable to play.

Philadelphia enters Game 5 trailing 3-1 in this best-of-seven series, and on the verge of being eliminated in the first two rounds of the playoffs for a seventh consecutive season, despite being outscored by a total of four points over the first four games of the series, thanks in part to blowing a 5-point lead in the final 30 seconds of Game 2 here last week.

Embiid, who is less than a month into his return from a procedure on the lateral meniscus in his left knee, is averaging 35 points, 9 rebounds and 5.5 assists through the first four games, while Oubre has been one of the primary defenders on Knicks star Jalen Brunson.

PLAYA VISTA, Calif. -- LA Clippers star Kawhi Leonard will miss his second straight game and remain out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Dallas Mavericks, according to coach Ty Lue.

Lue said Leonard would not practice Tuesday as he continues to treat the inflammation in his surgically repaired right knee.

Leonard did not play Sunday when the Clippers won Game 4 in Dallas 116-111 to even the best-of-seven series at 2. Paul George and James Harden shouldered the load, combining for a total of 66 points, 15 assists and 12 rebounds.

After missing the final eight regular-season games and Game 1 of the series, Leonard returned and logged 35 minutes, scoring 15 points in Game 2. But Leonard said his knee did not respond the way he had hoped. Clippers president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank said Leonard experienced swelling.

The two-time Finals MVP gutted out 25 minutes and had nine points and nine rebounds but clearly did not move like his normal self in Game 3. Frank announced Sunday that Leonard will be out until he is able to move like he did in Game 2 and his return is uncertain.

Lue said Leonard still is a valuable presence for the team on the sideline.

"I mean he keeps himself involved," Lue said. "Just being in the shootarounds, being in the practices, understanding what we're trying to do.

"So when guys make mistakes, when they come out of the game, he can talk to those guys and let them know. And then also let them know what he sees as well with PG and with James. And he's been really vocal. He's helped us out a lot even though he's not playing."

LARRY DAVID said it best.

The beloved actor and writer, best known for "Curb Your Enthusiasm," made an appearance on "The Rich Eisen Show" last month, during which he talked about his beloved New York Knicks and their best player, point guard Jalen Brunson. "He's tremendous. He doesn't seem athletic in a way, but then he ..."

David, 76, then stood up from this seat, preparing to replicate the move. " ... He slithers in! And then he kind of does that [fadeaway] thing! Where his back is going backwards!"

As David sat back down, Eisen couldn't contain his laughter after the septuagenarian did a full-on kick to imitate Brunson's form.

But here's the thing: David isn't wrong. There is something about Brunson's game, and what makes it so unusual, yet so accessible. If the undersized, slight-of-frame Stephen Curry has given the younger generation something to aspire to with his otherworldly shooting range, Brunson, 27, may be inspiring people of all ages to perfect their old-man game -- one that depends far less on athleticism and more on impeccable footwork, strength and trickery.

"Man, it's so great to be on the other side of [his footwork] now," Knicks guard Donte DiVincenzo said to ESPN of Brunson, who played his first four NBA seasons in Dallas and was a teammate of DiVincenzo's at Villanova. "We played one-on-one so many times over the years to where I feel like I know exactly what he's gonna do. Honestly, a lot of defenders feel that way. But he's so crafty that they can't tell when he's gonna shoot, when he's gonna pass, or when he's gonna use a step-through.

"He knows he's not the most athletic, so he outsmarts and out-footworks people to get where he wants to go."

That precision is not just highly unpredictable and effective, though -- it's also the engine that drives a Knicks offense that ranked fifth over the final six weeks of the regular season without two-time All-NBA forward Julius Randle -- and fourth through the first two weeks of the playoffs.

KENTAVIOUS CALDWELL-POPE did almost everything right.

The two-time NBA champion, a proud stopper who entered the 2023-24 season saying that making the All-Defensive first team was among his individual goals this season, wasn't duped by the perimeter screen set by Knicks center Jericho Sims.

The high-IQ wing guessed correctly that Brunson would reject the screen, as he often does. Caldwell-Pope then stayed with Brunson step-for-step as the guard backed him into the paint. And he even managed to stay relatively grounded on the All-Star's first fake to the left.

But Caldwell-Pope flailed on the fourth action: Brunson up-faked before taking a beautiful step-through -- a nasty one-two combo -- before drawing contact across the arm as his floater lofted above the outstretched arm of Nikola Jokic and found the bottom of the net as the referee's whistle blew.

The Madison Square Garden crowd erupted.

And the defending champion Nuggets, down by 25 points after that failed defensive sequence, looked utterly confused. Between guard Jamal Murray raising his hands in frustration and forward Aaron Gordon putting his hands on his hips in exasperation, Denver seemed to be asking a question countless other teams have this season: How do we stop this freaking guy?

Brunson managed to shoot a blistering 7-for-8 from 2-point range that night against the Nuggets. The showing was far from an anomaly.

"When you have to guard a player on the catch, and then you have to guard him again when they dribble, and you have to guard him again when he picks up his dribble? That's a lot of opportunities for a defender to make a mistake. Unfortunately, I've seen it before," Hawks coach Quin Snyder told ESPN, a reference to the 2022 playoff series in which Brunson -- playing without injured Dallas Mavericks teammate Luka Doncic for the first three games -- torched Snyder and the Jazz for 24 points in Game 1, 41 in Game 2 and 31 in Game 3. Dallas won the series in six.

Consider, too, Game 4 of the Knicks' first-round series against the Philadelphia 76ers. Wing defender Tobias Harris also did just about everything right.

Twice in the third quarter Sunday, he took on the task of guarding Brunson one-on-one on the left wing. The first time, the New York star crossed the ball over between his legs three times -- left, right, then left again -- before going up for a shot. Or, at least to Harris, what certainly looked like one. Instead, Brunson used a shot fake to get Harris in the air from 16 feet out, then leaned into him and flung up a jumper as the whistle blew to signal a foul. As Harris tried desperately to land without making contact, it was already too late: Brunson's shot was good, and he'd add the free throw.

Two minutes later, Brunson called his own number against Harris from the same spot on the floor. This time, he dribbled between his legs four times in an effort to rock Harris to sleep. He then accelerated to his left toward the midpost, before being cut off and pulling the ball back out to reset. Or, at least to Harris, what looked like a reset. Instead, Brunson charged back downhill to his left just as Harris was beginning to exhale, thinking the job was done -- or at least paused.

Only it wasn't. Instead, Brunson slithered his way to the basket for a scoop layup off the glass. By day's end, he'd compiled 47 points -- a Knicks playoff record -- and 10 assists to take New York to a 3-1 series lead over the Sixers. Brunson managed to log the historic performance while just turning the ball over a single time.

And that's another thing: Brunson's largely mistake-free showing Sunday was par for the course this season. He posted a career-high 32.5% usage rate, but also had a career-low 9.1% turnover rate, even as he played through far more contact. Defenses blitzed Brunson as the pick-and-roll ball handler 36% more than they did a year ago, per Second Spectrum.

Despite possessing the ball for an NBA-high 662 minutes this season, and using highly intricate footwork countless times per game, Brunson was called for a total of four traveling violations all year. Four. Tied for the fewest for any All-Star guard or wing.

BRUNSON'S STAR TURN in New York is years in the making.

His father, Rick Brunson, was a member of the Knicks back in 1999, the last time the team reached the NBA Finals. He occasionally brought a 5-year-old Jalen into the team's locker room, and the youngster used it as an opportunity to show the players that he'd been studying their games.

"Everyone would just crack up. He had their footwork down -- jab steps, everything," Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau, who was a New York assistant in the late 1990s, said last year in recalling his first time meeting Jalen.

"[We'd tell him] 'Do Allan Houston,' boom, boom, boom. 'Do Latrell Sprewell,' boom, boom, boom. ... He was in the gym all the time, and he was a sponge." Yet for all the old-man tendencies Brunson uses as a player, he also makes frequent use of what closely resembles a children's game. It appears to be the world's most annoying game of duck, duck, goose.

Defenders chase him around the court when he's playing off the ball. And even when he has it on the perimeter, then gives it up to one of his big men, it's often just to relocate before getting the ball back in a better position to attack.

"It's like he's playing football," Golden State guard Moses Moody told ESPN. "He's a receiver trying to get open."

And he bypasses help if and when it comes -- by design. At nearly 17%, Brunson rejects screens at by far the NBA's highest rate, according to Second Spectrum, confusing defenders who are expecting him to make use of the blockade. Brunson plays off of two feet, his herky-jerky style and off-beat rhythm forming perhaps the most unpredictable offensive player in basketball.

"We've got a ton of players in the league who are really athletic and have great wingspans and all that stuff. But if I can be deceptive and do the things that I do, I can create an advantage," Brunson told ESPN. "And I definitely work on [my footwork] a lot."

The evidence would suggest it's working. Opposing players rarely block his shots, despite his height. Some of that is his underappreciated strength. "That first time he bumps into you with that shoulder, you're like, 'Damn, OK!' " Warriors guard Gary Payton II told ESPN.

Brunson took an NBA-high 330 floaters this season, 124 more than any other player. Just 18, or a little over 5% of them, were blocked. Just 6-7 Kawhi Leonard, 6-9 Bam Adebayo, 6-11 Kevin Durant, 6-10 Nikola Vucevic and Jokic, the two-time MVP who stands 6-11 -- have been blocked less frequently on a percentage basis than Brunson, according to data site PBP Stats.

He led all NBA guards with 276 buckets in the paint. And his 86 and-1 plays during the regular season were second most in the league, trailing only Giannis Antetokounmpo, whose hulking paint presence is often compared to Shaquille O'Neal's.

"When you look at the rearview mirror and it says, 'Objects are closer than they appear,' that's the kind of strength he has and the way he plays," Warriors star Draymond Green, a former Defensive Player of the Year, told ESPN. "You may look at him like, 'Ah, he's only 6-2 or however tall he is.' But he plays so much bigger than that. He's special, but it's not surprising."

Said DiVincenzo: "Playing against size doesn't bother him. In college, there was no defensive three seconds rule, so bigger guys could just stand there and clog the paint. ... To be able to do it now, he's got more space to go to work against defenses."

Giving Brunson more of anything -- be it space, or a screen he'll likely reject anyway -- at this point is normally a winning proposition for him. He's created a handful of nearly unstoppable old-school advantages for himself.

"I've found ways to be comfortable while being uncomfortable," Brunson said. "My game is a little unorthodox and a little different than most people's. But I work on finding ways to keep the defense off balance while remaining on balance myself."

The Colorado Rockies placed outfielder Nolan Jones on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a low back strain.

Jones, who turns 26 on May 7, is batting just .170 with one homer, seven RBIs and 37 strikeouts in 26 games.

He is a .267 career hitter with 23 homers and 82 RBIs in 160 games with the Cleveland Guardians (2022) and Colorado.

The Rockies selected the contract of outfielder Jordan Beck from Triple-A Albuquerque and transferred left-hander Lucas Gilbreath to the 60-day injured list in corresponding moves.

Beck, 23, is ranked as Colorado's No. 4 prospect by MLB Pipeline. He is hitting .307 with five homers and 28 RBIs in 25 games this season at Triple-A.

Gilbreath, 28, had Tommy John surgery on his left elbow in March 2023 and was originally targeted for a return in late April. He went 5-2 with a 3.78 ERA and one save in 94 games (one start) with Colorado from 2021-22.

Fireballer Jhoan Duran is ready to join the Twins' roster for the first time this season as Minnesota takes on the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday.

Manager Rocco Baldelli said Duran likely was to be available for the surging Twins, who have won eight in a row with a makeshift bullpen compensating for not having the 100 mph heat from their planned closer yet in 2024. Duran went for testing on his aching side on March 16 and was shut down with an oblique strain.

For Duran, the radar gun told him it was time to return.

Duran wrapped up a two-game rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday. During the second outing, his fastball clocked at an average of 101.8 mph.

"When I see that velocity, I feel more good," Duran said. "It's like, 'OK, you see it, let's go.'"

Duran joined the Twins in Chicago on Monday.

The 26-year-old right-hander has career 35 saves and a 2.15 ERA with 173 strikeouts in 130 innings.

Everything you need to know about this weekends big event in the capital of the Czech Republic, including live stream info

Prague will once again welcome thousands of runners this weekend, as the city hosts the 30th edition of its annual marathon (May 5).

The event has become one of Europes fastest-growing road races, courtesy of organisers RunCzech, and has come a long way since it started out in 1995.

It was founded by Carlo Capalbo, who alongside 1988 Olympic mens marathon champion Gelindo Bordin, devised the route on a napkin in a bar. They then decided to phone quadruple Olympic champion and distance running champion Emil Zátopek for support and the rest was history.

There were 985 runners that took part in the first edition. However, people could also run in two other distances 9.2 km and 4.8 km and 15,ooo runners participated.

The elite winners that year were Ethiopian Turbo Tummo (2:12:44) and Ukrainian Svetlana Tkach (2:38:33).

Since then, the course records have plummeted and are currently held by Alexander Mutiso (2:05:09 2023) and Lonah Salpeter (2:19:46 2019).

The elite mens field this year is headed up by 2:03:40 marathoner Herpasa Negasa Kitesa. The Ethiopian ran that time at the 2019 Dubai Marathon and also finished second at last years Seoul Marathon. However, he DNFd at the 2022 Chicago and 2023 Boston Marathons.

His biggest challenger may come from 2016 Boston Marathon champion and fellow Ethiopian Lemi Berhanu Hayle. With a personal best of 2:04:33 over 26.2 miles set at the 2016 Dubai Marathon Hayle has the pedigree to win in Prague, especially having represented Ethiopia at the Rio Olympics over the distance. Back in January, Hayle also won the Mumbai Marathon in a time of 2:07:50.

The elite womens field is also pretty open and watch out for 2:20:02 marathoner Dorcas Jepchirchir.

Last year, the Kenyan won the Hamburg Marathon in 2:20:09 and also finished third in Amsterdam, where she achieved her personal best.

Jepchirchir will be up against Ethiopian Buzunesh Getachew, who won last years Frankfurt Marathon in a best of 2:19:27.

There will be 26 elite men and 25 elite women on the start line at this weekends Prague International Marathon, which will begin at 9am CEST.

Over 8000 people, as part of the masses, will also run the route that starts and finishes in the Old Town Square.

There will also be the added element of Battle of the Teams. Successfully introduced last year, the idea is that both masses and elites are split into teams. It means that the placing of every runner matters.

This year, there will be four teams: Team Mattoni, Team Prague Airport, Team Turkish Airlines and Team Volkswagen.

Ahead of the Prague International Marathon, Capalbo says: I am delighted to celebrate the 30th years of Prague International marathon, together. Our goal this year is not just to do a great race in one of the worlds great city. But to create an even more spectacular one. To make runners happy and pampered to run in a supercharged race environment.

To do our part to make Prague one of the most hospitable destination in the world. The energy around the marathon is attracting thousands of runners and spectators to the street of Prague, including the finalists of the junior marathon championships, which weve organised for 27 years, and the thousands of families and children which will enjoy during this weekend.

The event is on Czech TV. Or watch the live stream to the event on the RunCzech Youtube channel.

Fine early-season performances from Andy Pozzi, Cindy Sember, Dina Asher-Smith, Jacob Fincham-Dukes, Kenny Ikeji and more

Sprint hurdlers Cindy Sember, Andy Pozzi, David King and Josh Zeller have all won in the United States in recent days plus there have been victories for Jade Lally, Dina Asher-Smith, Jacob Fincham-Dukes and Kenny Ikeji.

Our latest round-up also has full results of the Diamond League in Suzhou and news of a 56-year-old Brit who has run sub-three marathons for six successive weeks.

Yangtze Delta Athletics Diamond Gala Diamond League, Suzhou, China, April 27

From a British perspective, Megan Keiths UK under-23 5000m record and the manner of Daryll Neitas victory was the highlight even if the latters 22.62 did not get the reward with track sprint times disappointing at the meeting generally.

Ethan Hussey was a fine fifth in the 800m.

Ahead of Keith, 18-year-old Mekedes Alemeshete surprisingly led home the Ethiopian top four with an early world lead of 14:36.70 while Selemon Barega won the 5000m in a world outdoor lead of 12:55.68.

Texas Invitational, Austin, April 26

In a pick-up from last weeks form, the 2019 world 200m champion Dina Asher-Smith won in a European leading time of 22.29/1.7 well ahead of Jamaican Dejanea Oakley (22.73).

The following day the 100m though showed she is not quite at her sharpest yet when she finished third in a wind-assisted 11.10 and, while she defeated world 60m champion Julien Alfred, she was a way down on training partner and Irish 400m star Rhasidat Adeleke, who won in a stunning 10.84/3.5 compared to a legal best of 11.31!

The best British performance of the meeting came from Jacob Fincham-Dukes who won the long jump with an 8.20m outdoor European lead and Rome standard and he was just 7cm behind the Paris standard.

In the womens long jump Jamaican Ackelia Smith achieved a windy 7.10m/3.5.

Road Races

adizero Road To Records, Herzogenaurach, Germany, April 27

Road mile records are of no real significance given their infancy as records and much faster times have been set in the past and the marks set are still rather modest but there were some fast 5km and 10km times.

HASPA MARATHON HAMBURG, April 28

Defending champion Bernard Koech and fellow-Kenyan Irine Cheptai won with world-class times. Koech crossed the line in 2:04:24 and clocked the eighth fastest time in the world this year. Missing his own course record and PB by just 15 seconds, Koech became the first man to successfully defend the title in Hamburg since Julio Rey of Spain in 2006.

Ethiopias Haymanot Alew took second with 2:05:30 and Philemon Kiplimo of Kenya was third in 2:05:37.

There was a thrilling duel in the womens race. The 2017 world cross country champion Irine Cheptai won the battle and produced one of the fastest marathon debuts in history with 2:18:22. Fellow-Kenyan Winfridah Moseti smashed her PB with 2:18:25 for second place. These are the second and third fastest times in the history of the race. Ethiopias Marathon World Champion from 2022, Gotytom Gebreslase, took third with 2:21:19.

Organisers registered a record entry number of 38,210 athletes for the 38th edition of the Haspa Marathon Hamburg. This includes races at shorter distances. A total of 15,000 marathon runners were among the entries.

Koech had covered the 5km section from 30km in a breathtaking 14:17 to go through 35km in 1:42:31. But then I had a difficult section and because of that I missed the course record, he later explained. But this is sport, I am not at all disappointed. It was a great race and I might well come back again next year.

For the second time since 2022 four athletes ran sub 2:06:00 in Hamburg.

Germanys Sebastian Hendel finished in a strong 10th with a huge PB of 2:08:51. The 28 year-old had a personal record of 2:10:14 before and now became the ninth fastest German marathon runner ever.

I never expected to win the race. I had hoped to may be finish second or third, said Irine Cheptai. Perhaps I can now run between 2:14 and 2:15 in my next marathon. I would like to run here in Hamburg again next year.

In seventh place Argentinian Daiana Ocampo achieved Olympic qualification.

There was very bad luck for Katharina Steinruck once more. The German, who hoped to break her mothers PB (Katrin Dörre-Heinig, the Olympic bronze medallist from 1988, ran 2:24:35 in Hamburg 25 years ago), had to side step at a refreshment point when a pacemaker stepped into her way. She then collided full speed with a drinks table, fell and had to give up injured shortly after that. This happened shortly before the half way point and she had been running 2:23 pace. Rabea Schöneborn was the best German with 2:35:07 in 13th place.

Zurich Rock n Roll Running Series Madrid Marathon, Spain, April 28

Naomi Rotich of Kenya won the womens race in 2:26:20 ahead of Ethiopias Bontu Bekele (2:27:04). while Mitku Tafa won the mens race in 2:08:57 ahead of Fikre Bekele (2:09:09).

There was a small British presence in the field. Keith Luxon ran 2:58:22 to be second M55 which is obviously notable enough but more remarkably it was his sixth successive week of a sub-three marathon having run marathons in Gent, Milton Keynes (winning the Enigma events there), Brighton, Boston and London before his run in Madrid.

Probably the most remarkable thing is the 56-year-old only had a previous PB of 2:56:47 set in 2019 and he bettered that PB at London of 2:55:10, six days after Boston.

TÜRKİYE İS BANKASI ISTANBUL HALF-MARATHON, April 28

Sheila Chelangat was the surprise winner as the Kenyan smashed her PB and clocked a fine 66:47 despite rainy weather conditions and slippery roads.

The weather was so bad the Tour of Turkey Cycling race had to be neutralised and the cyclists were unable to race.

Fellow-Kenyan and debutant Miriam Chebet took second with 67:14 while Ethiopias Zewditu Aderaw was third in 68:17. The womens race had a very good depth with eight runners finishing inside 69:00. Hicham Amghar of Marocco, who was runner-up a year ago, won the mens race with a personal best of 59:47. Dinkalem Ayele was second in 59:55 while fellow-Ethiopian Gemechu Bute took third with 60:03.

A record number of 14,200 runners (including the 10km) entered this World Athletics Gold Label Road Race including athletes who competed in a 10km race staged parallel.

Chelangat, who was the 10th fastest woman on the start list with a 69:38 PB, took the lead relatively early in the race.

PB wins for Rory Leonard and Georgia Bell in Comeback 5000m together with more detailed results from the London Marathon

Comeback 5000m, Battersea, April 26

Rory Leonard carried on his good 2024 form that has seen him run an indoor sub-four-minute mile, a 13:31 road 5km PB and a 28:04.83 10,000m PB with his first sub-13:30 on the track as he won easily in 13:29.54.

His previous track PB was 13:50.22 from 2021 as he took over 20 seconds off of his best.

Runner-up James Gormley also had a huge breakthrough as he achieved his first sub-14 on the track and ran 13:42.28 to back up the indoor 7:48 3000m he ran in February.

Third-placer Ellis Cross trimmed his PB down to 13:43.95.

Georgia Bell took a few seconds off of her PB to win the womens elite race. The world indoor 1500m fourth-placer ran 15:35.24 just three seconds ahead of former hockey international Kate Axford, who set a 10-second PB of 15:38.82 while Jenny Nesbitt was a clear third.

In fourth, Almi Nerurkar, the daughter of former international marathoner Richard and the sister of pro cyclist Lukas, just missed breaking the 16-minute barrier but set a big PB of 16:00.41.

ROAD

ABP Newport Marathon, April 28

Dan Osbourne-Nash defended his marathon title as a total of 7000 runners competed across the marathon, half marathon and 10km events.

Katherine Wood won the womens race as Newport native Liz Dimond made a dream return from injury to claim a hometown half marathon victory, with Ronnie Richmond setting the standard in the mens half marathon.

Serial R4W 10K Series winner Omar Ahmed defended his 10km title, while Hannah Irwin reigned supreme in the womens 10k in a course record time.

Marathon
Defending champion Osbourne-Nash set the early running in the marathon, but he was challenged by Jack Pickett at the 10 mile mark and forced to raise his pace to reclaim the lead at the halfway point.

After racing through the city centre loop and through Newports International Sport Village, Osbourne-Nash surged clear of Basingstokes Rob Wood (2:28:10) en route to a comfortable victory. He saved a sprint finish for the home straight on Usk Way as he took the tape in 2:23:25.

I felt great for halfway but someone caught me and went past me so I thought I better up the pace and catch him, he said. Luckily he fell away and I pushed on. It hurt a bit on the way back but it was a great course. The course is fast and flat and it was great to go past all the other runners who cheered me on the whole way.

I live 20 minutes away so I had to come and defend my title before racing Belfast next week.

In the womens race, Katherine Wood of Oxford earned first place with an impressive performance following a five year competitive layoff. Wood, a former English half-marathon champion, created a seven-minute gap at the 16 mile mark and held on over the final few miles to fend off the challenge of Sammy Antell (2:46.55) to win in a time of 2:45.49.

That was hard work, but it was really good and a lovely course, said Wood. I pushed it way too hard at the start and really paid for it at the end. Ive been out for about five years so Im going in the right direction and to get a win is amazing.

Half Marathon
There were emotional scenes at the half marathon finish as last years marathon winner Dimond was crowned womens champion. The Newport favourite, who lives a stones throw from the route, had been suffering with a back injury for the previous five months but made a dream return to the roads in her hometown.

The Liswerry Runners athlete was out on her own for large periods as she set a strong pace, surging through the six mile mark in 36:03, 40 seconds ahead of Swansea Harrier Joanna Callan in second. Dimond maintained the gap and powered back along the Usk River and into the city centre to post a new course record of 82:11. Callen was her closest challenger as she finished second in 82:59, ahead of third place Clare Patterson of Parc Bryn Bach (85:13).

Its been a really tough year for me with a back injury and this is my first race back, said Dimond I didnt care what happened, I just wanted to get to the start line and I wasnt thinking about the finish so to win is absolutely amazing.

I couldnt believe that ribbon came out for me, it was so special. It means even more for me living in the city so close to the route. I got amazing support from my club mates and people across the route.

In the Mens Half Marathon, Richmond led from the early stages and never looked back to set a new course record of 1:07.15. The Bideford AAC runner was out on his own for long stretches of the flat 13.1 mile route as he finished almost a minute clear of Exeter Harries Simon Fox (1:08.11) and Team Baths Alex Carter (1:09.18).

It was a great course, nice and flat with plenty of scenery, said Richmond. At about 7 miles the wind hit on the way back which made it difficult but I thoroughly enjoyed it and the crowd were amazing. The atmosphere with the three races going on was pretty special.

10km
Hannah Irwin clinched a womens 10km victory to remember as she smashed the course record to win in South Wales on her return from injury. Irwin set the pace from the off and kept club mate Holly Archer at a safe distance to ensure she claimed the gold medal. Her time of 32:56 was a full 31 seconds faster than the record set by Natasha Cockram last year.

Archer was second as she held off Les Croupiers Alaw Evans to finish a second clear of the Welsh athlete.

I just came in with no expectation, said Irwin. I did better than I thought I could after being out for five months. It was a great route and it seemed to fly by because of all the support. I was supported by a couple of guys out there and Ill be back next year to defend!

Birchfield Harriers Ahmed headlined a competitive mens 10km field which included club mate Kadar Omar and Welsh star Dewi Griffiths. Ahmed and Omar worked in tandem to create a gap to third place Griffiths at the halfway mark as they passed through 3.5 miles in 17:41.

Defending champion Ahmed turned up the pace and challenged Omar to stay with him, but the Ethiopian stretched his lead to take the tape in 29:20. His time was slower than the course record of 28:35 he posted en route to victory last year, but his win puts him in pole position for the R4W 10K Series title.

Omar finished 16 seconds back of Ahmed, ahead of Griffiths, who returned from a hamstring injury in a time of 29:50.

The first 5km felt very slow so I just kicked on because I came here to win the race again, said Ahmed. The guys pushed me on but I knew I could go quicker and Im really happy to win the race again. I really enjoy these Run 4 Wales races and Ill be back for another two or three this year.

Great Britain have been drawn against Germany in the first round of the Billie Jean King Cup Finals in November.

If they win that tie, Anne Keothavong's team will face top seeds Canada in the quarter finals.

The BJK Cup Finals, which will again take place in Seville, has switched to a straight knockout format this year.

Britain were one of eight unseeded teams in Tuesday's draw pitted against each other for a place in the quarter-finals.

Four seeded teams - defending champions Canada, 2023 runners-up Italy, the Czech Republic and Australia - were given byes into the last eight.

The 12-team finals take place from 12-20 November.

The event was previously played over six days, with the 12 teams split into four groups and the winners contesting the semi-finals.

Keothavong's side earned their spot in this year's finals by beating France in a play-off tie last month - the first time they had reached the finals through qualification.

World number 28 Katie Boulter and 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu led the British team to victory by winning three of their four singles matches.

Germany went through by beating Brazil after Laura Siegemund, Tatjana Maria and Anna-Lena Friedsam - none of whom are ranked in the world's top 60 - won their singles matches.

Britain featured in the Glasgow finals of 2022, reaching the semi-finals, but were given a spot as the host nation after losing in that year's play-offs.
