The history books will be kinder to Cathy Engelbert than this last year was as WNBA commissioner.
Six expansion teams. An international market. A landmark media rights deal. Exploding TV viewership and arena attendance numbers. Team valuations topping out at $1 billion and averaging $460 million.
Then there's the league's first $1 million player salaries and a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) based on revenue-sharing, marking the second "transformational" CBA she oversaw. They bookend a mind-boggling ascension for women's sports collectively in Engelbert's seven years running a league that turned 30 this year, and is the longest-running women's league in the United States.
Pull back 10,000 feet, and those are the highlights of a theoretical Encyclopedia Britannica entry, not the turmoil that ultimately led to Engelbert's decision to retire at the end of the year, announced on Friday. She is the league's second-longest-tenured leader, and told the ****** ociated Press she had initially intended to do the job for three and a half years. She sped past that short window, and told the AP she had been mulling the decision for months.
"This is a really good time given the financial transformation journey we've been on," Engelbert told the outlet, adding it was her decision and she did not feel pressure from NBA or WNBA stakeholders. "Getting the collective bargaining agreement done, getting a long-term media rights deal done, getting expansion done."

On August 29, at the O2 Arena in London, Filip Hrgovic inflicted a shock defeat on heavyweight rising star Moses Itaumato become the new IBF heavyweight champion. Fans, fighters, and boxing coaches have had their say on what went wrong for the Brit, and Ryan Garcia is the latest to have his say when speaking to the media ahead of his September 12 WBC welterweight world ******* le defence against Conor Benn.
Moses Itauma (14-1, 12 KOs) entered the ring at the O2 Arena as a huge odds-on favourite against the experienced Croatian, Filip Hrgovic (21-1, 16 KOs). Itauma took no time to settle, quickly showcasing his blistering hand speed and impressive accuracy.
Despite the constant onslaught from Itauma, Hrgovic stood tall and took everything, and as the fight progressed, the Brit looked to be tiring. The Croat's right hand began to land with more regularity. The ninth round saw Itauma enter a state of barely being able to stand up, and Hrgovic let his hands go, with the towel coming in from Ben Davison just as the referee stepped in to wave the fight off. The O2 fell into stunned silence as Hrgovic and his team celebrated wildly that he was the new IBF heavyweight world champion.
"It's a marathon. Don't look too much into this defeat. Look into what you need to fix, for sure. But don't let it get you down completely. You were obviously the better fighter. You just weren't conditioned, and you just don't have enough experience at this current time to take that.
"But I don't think he did bad. He was doing pretty good, but…I don't know what was going on with his head. If you watch his interviews before, he's saying that he's not the best physcially right now (not sparred 12 rounds), nor mentally, but it will still be enough to beat Hrgovic. That's a really bad mindset," said Garcia, reflecting on Itauma's defeat.

Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso hopes everyone can now "move forward" following the protracted sale of Enzo Fernandez to Manchester City which was finally confirmed late on transfer deadline day.

The Blues had hoped to be able to bring in midfielder Lamine Camara from Monaco, but that deal collapsed when the Ligue 1 side backed out having not signed a deal sheet before the window closed.
Alonso, though, insists everything must now all be considered water under the bridge as he looks to refocus the squad for Sunday's trip to Premier League champions ****** nal, when Chelsea will be bidding to maintain their own 100% start to the new campaign.

Shell has completed its acquisition of Canadian oil and gas producer ARC Resources, significantly expanding the supermajor's position in the prolific Montney basin of British Columbia and Alberta.
The transaction has an updated enterprise value of approximately $16.5 billion, including $2.5 billion of net debt and leases. ARC shareholders receive C$8.20 in cash and 0.40247 Shell shares for each ARC share, according to Shell.
The acquisition immediately adds around 370,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day of natural gas and liquids production to Shell's portfolio and more than 1.5 million net acres in the Montney. At the end of 2025, ARC held around 2 billion boe of proved and probable reserves.
The deal also strengthens Shell's Canadian LNG strategy. ARC's gas resources sit close to Shell's existing Montney operations, while Shell owns a 40% interest in LNG Canada. ARC previously said its undeveloped gas properties could help Shell extract additional value through its integrated LNG business, including a potential second phase of LNG Canada.
Shell expects the acquisition to lift production growth across its Integrated Gas and Upstream businesses to around 4% annually through 2030, compared with 2025. The company expects double-digit returns and says the deal should boost free cash flow per share beginning in 2027.

After competing in the British and Aragon grands prix, Pol Espargaro will contest next week's San Marino Grand Prix with Tech3 KTM, replacing Maverick Vinales.
Vinales continues to recover from the injury he suffered last year to his left shoulder, in a qualifying crash at the Sachsenring. Since then, he's had ups and downs in his recovery.
Vinales had to miss several races early in 2026 and eventually underwent surgery on 1 April to have a screw removed from the affected area which supposedly was the cause of his problems.
Despite the operation, the Spaniard has failed to and, since returning at Barcelona in mid-May, his performances and results have never been close to expectations.
It was expected that Vinales could return in form after the summer break, but he has been kept away from the track by his physical problems and the KTM/Tech3 conflict over his contract. Last month, Motorsport.com revealed KTM intended to drop Vinales altogether for the remainder of the season.

Prince William and Kate Middleton may eventually have to engage with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle despite their strained relationship, according to royal commentator Richard Kay. The Sussexes' return to the UK has brought attention back to the family tensions. Kay claims the situation cannot stay unresolved forever.
In a Daily Mail Voices video, Richard Kay suggested that Prince William cannot continue avoiding his younger brother forever. The royal commentator believes the family will eventually need to address the estrangement, particularly if Prince Harry and Meghan Markle remain in Britain for an extended period. "At some stage they are going to have to engage, because they can't not engage forever," Kay said.
According to Kay, the first step could involve holding a private family meeting instead of staging a highly public reconciliation. "I would have thought that in the first instance there would need to be a private meeting between Harry and William and presumably Catherine and Meghan, too," Kay said.
He suggested that the meeting could help them agree on an "official line" and end uncertainty about the family's position. However, that would not mean the brothers would immediately repair their personal relationship. Instead, Kay believes they could establish a workable public approach.
Kay also warned that keeping the family separated for months could make things even harder for the Royal Family. "The public won't stand for it," he said. Kay believes William must think beyond his personal relationship with Harry. "William knows that, above all, his responsibility to the monarchy, to the institution, has to take first place, so he'll have to put whatever personal differences he has to one side."

Amy Hunt will continue her busy summer as the only athlete running both the women's 100m and 200m at the Diamond League Final in Brussels this weekend.
The young British sprint star – who won a silver medal at the Commonwealth Games five weeks ago, claimed a record four gold medals at the European Athletics Championships shortly after and has since competed in Diamond League events in Zurich and Lausanne as well as a meeting in Brescia – will face two stacked fields at the King Baudouin Stadium, with Olympic silver medallist Sha'Carri Richardson, World Championship silver medallist Tina Clayton and Commonwealth Games champion Zoe Hobbs headlining the 100m field, and two-time Olympic medallist Julien Alfred the favourite in the 200m.
There are global superstars littered throughout the events as the season-long Diamond League reaches its conclusion, with unbeatable pole vault icon Mondo Duplantis finally having a legitimate rival in the form of Emmanouil Karalis, making for a fascinating Friday night showdown, while Audrey Werro vs the ever-improving Femke Broeders-Bol will be a blockbuster 800m match-up in the penultimate race of the meeting on Saturday evening.
Recent world-record breakers Alison Dos Santos (men's 400m hurdles) and Masai Russell (women's 100m hurdles) will both be in action once more, while the likes of Georgia Hunter Bell in the women's 1500m, Matthew Hudson-Smith in the men's 400m and Ben Pattison in the men's 800m provide further British interest. In addition to the Diamond Trophy, there is an extra incentive for the winners, with automatic qualification for the lucrative World Athletics Ultimate Championship later this month on the line.

Gloria Steinem, who passed away at the age of 92 on September 2, 2026, was many things: co-founder of "Ms." magazine, second-wave feminist icon, and even stepmother to Christian Bale. (Who knew?) She was also, throughout her life, a serious fashionista. Some may believe such a passion is necessarily at odds with a dedication to feminism, and Steinem certainly had many critics who questioned her focus on fashion, but she viewed her style as an extension of her activism, not a conflict of interest. Gloria Steinem's beauty philosophy went hand-in-hand with her feminist ideals, and so did her approach to fashion.
Michael Ochs Archives/Getty
"Fashion in the past meant conforming and losing oneself," Steinem pointed out in the 2011 HBO documentary about her life, "Gloria: In Her Own Words," but "fashion in the present means being unique and finding oneself," she continued. For Steinem, that came to mean a "power outfit" (above) that often included a fitted Henley shirt, flared jeans, a low-slung belt, funky jewelry, and a rotating collection of political badges and ******* ons, topped with her iconic aviator glasses and highlighted hair teased to the sky. There was a purpose to her style beyond expression and confidence, however. "She made it okay to be attractive and to be a feminist," friend and designer Diane von Furstenberg told Glamour.

Communities across North Yorkshire are preparing to welcome the Tour of Britain men's cycling race on Saturday.
The fourth stage of the men's tour will start in Helmsley, with the cyclists travelling through Ripon on their way to the Yorkshire Dales before finishing in Leyburn.
Stretching approximately 103 miles (166km) with 8,800ft (2,699m) of elevation, it is expected to be the race's most challenging day and "could play a key role in deciding the overall winner" of the competition, according to British Cycling.
Almost £10,000 has been awarded to towns and villages along the route to enable them to create community displays and decorations celebrating the race's visit to the area.
After setting off from Helmsley in the North York Moors at 11:00 BST, the route passes through the towns of Easingwold at 11:35 and Boroughbridge at about 11:55, before reaching Ripon at about 12:20 and then heading into the Yorkshire Dales.

Stretching approximately 103 miles (166km) with 8,800ft (2,699m) of elevation, it is expected to be the race's most challenging day and "could play a key role in deciding the overall winner" of the competition, according to British Cycling.
Almost £10,000 has been awarded to towns and villages along the route to enable them to create community displays and decorations celebrating the race's visit to the area.
After setting off from Helmsley in the North York Moors at 11:00 BST, the route passes through the towns of Easingwold at 11:35 and Boroughbridge at about 11:55, before reaching Ripon at about 12:20 and then heading into the Yorkshire Dales.

Britain's Harriet Dart said she felt "under the weather" as she struggled in the heat during her second-round loss to Marie Bouzkova at the US Open.
Dart struggled for rhythm in a 6-2 6-2 defeat by Czech 25th seed Bouzkova as temperatures reached around 30C in New York.
Dart's defeat means Fran Jones is the last remaining Briton in either singles draw at Flushing Meadows.
Jones faces American 14th seed Iva Jovic later on Thursday.
Dart draped ice towels around her neck and used cold-air hoses at the changeovers against Bouzkova as she attempted to cool down.

No fee was disclosed but British media reports said the deal was worth a guaranteed £60 million ($81 million).

"Gabriel Martinelli has joined Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal on a permanent transfer," said a statement on **** nal's website.

LONDON (AP) — Hugh Jackman wants to joins his fellow Hollywood star and friend Ryan Reynolds in owning part of a soccer club in the English leagues.
Jackman has long been a fan of Norwich, his mother's home city in the east of England. The Wolverine star was asked in an interview broadcast on Thursday if he would like to "buy a bit" of the club which is majority owned by Mark Attanasio, the Milwaukee Brewers principal owner.
"I'm very, very interested in talking about it right now," he told British broadcaster TalkSport while promoting his new movie, "The Death of Robin Hood."
"You're the first one to know that. There's a little exclusive," Jackman said when asked if he would "follow suit" with Reynolds, who put Wrexham on the global soccer and culture map after buying the club with Rob Mac in 2021.
Norwich and Wrexham are now rivals in the English second-tier Championship, though Jackman's team has the more illustrious history. Norwich last played in the Premier League four years ago, and had perhaps its finest moment in 1993 eliminating German power Bayern Munich in the old UEFA Cup.

Amy Hunt will continue her busy summer as the only athlete running both the women's 100m and 200m at the Diamond League Final in Brussels this weekend.
The young British sprint star – who won a silver medal at the Commonwealth Games five weeks ago, claimed a record four gold medals at the European Athletics Championships shortly after and has since competed in Diamond League events in Zurich and Lausanne as well as a meeting in Brescia – will face two stacked fields at the King Baudouin Stadium, with Olympic silver medallist Sha'Carri Richardson, World Championship silver medallist Tina Clayton and Commonwealth games champion Zoe Hobbs headlining the 100m field, and two-time Olympic medallist Julien Alfred the favourite in the 200m.
There are global superstars littered throughout the events as the season-long Diamond League reaches its conclusion, with unbeatable pole vault icon Mondo Duplantis finally having a legitimate rival in the form of Emmanouil Karalis, making for a fascinating Friday night showdown, while Audrey Werro vs the ever-improving Femke Broeders-Bol will be a blockbuster 800m match-up in the penultimate race of the meeting on Saturday evening.
Recent world-record breakers Alison Dos Santos (men's 400m hurdles) and Masai Russell (women's 100m hurdles) will both be in action once more, while the likes of Georgia Hunter Bell in the women's 1500m, Matthew Hudson-Smith in the men's 400m and Ben Pattison in the men's 800m provide further British interest.

SINGAPORE/LONDON/NEW YORK, Sept 2 (Reuters) - Bond prices continued to slide in Asia and Europe on Wednesday, pushing borrowing costs to multi-decade highs as the Middle East conflict drives up energy prices and layers concerns about inflation on top of worries about ballooning government debt.
Sovereign bond yields are a reference point for ******* et prices across financial markets and the higher price of money means elevated mortgage rates for consumers and tough choices for government spending as funding costs climb.
Japan's 10-year yield was perched above 3% for the first time in 30 years, while rising gas prices meant German 10-year Bund yields were stuck at their highest since 2011 and Britain's equivalent was at its highest since 2008. Yields rise as prices fall and vice versa.
A confluence of factors was at play, said State Street's head of macro strategy, Michael Metcalfe, with rising energy prices causing traders to bet on rate hikes, pushing up short-dated yields.

Lando Norris insists he had opportunities to leave McLaren before signing a contract extension with the F1 team.
The reigning world champion, who has been with McLaren for a decade since joining their junior programme, at the weekend signed a new deal with the Woking-based outfit until 2030.
The 26-year-old Briton won his first world championship last year, pipping Max Verstappen and teammate Oscar Piastri to the ******* le, and believes he was rewarded for his loyalty to the team in more difficult years.
That being said, Norris says there were other options on the table.
"There was opportunity of course," Norris told Sky Sports F1. But opportunity that is positive. There's opportunities to gamble at times. I'm a driver that personally I would take one or two tougher years over instant success - as I did a few years ago with McLaren.

For the launch of the 2026/27 kits, Juventus and adidas have chosen to transform teasers, speculation and unofficial images into a fully-fledged narrative, turning the traditional logic of a reveal on its head.
This has given rise to a campaign structured as a collective investigation. The product is not simply unveiled, but gradually uncovered through clues, content and links designed to spark fans' curiosity and fuel online conversation.
Leaks, details appearing online and unexpected content thus become the pieces of a mystery to be solved. Episode by episode, the campaign engages fans, influencers and key figures from the Club in a story that blends sport, entertainment and digital language.
Evidence, documents, photographs, notes and links punctuate the journey, inviting the community to follow the trail, interpret the clues and play an active part in the investigation. Leading the investigation are Luciano Spalletti and Gianluca Gazzoli, the protagonists of a narrative that blends mystery, humour and entertainment. Through their eyes, fans are drawn into an ongoing case, following leads and piecing together the truth behind the leaks.
First, the American wrestler Je'Von Evans appeared in the WWE Raw ring in Detroit wearing the Away Kit. Next came Kenan Yildiz, who teased the release of the Third Kit on his social media channels – a kit that had already been spotted a few days earlier in Hong Kong and worn by some local content creators during the Bianconeri Stripes Party organised by adidas on 4 August. The final act then took place in Perth, at the Bianconeri's headquarters 'Casa Juventus', involving influencer Ben Black and Alessandro Del Piero, who reprimanded the British content creator for spoiling the Third Kit on his social media channels.

The night before the transfer window shut, it seemed it would close with Enzo Fernandez still at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea were asking for £135m. It was more than Manchester City were prepared to pay. It took negotiations on 1 September to bring the price down to £125m, still a joint British transfer record and a deal that took the amount committed to buying players either to or from City this summer to around three quarters of a billion.
Had Chelsea not reduced their demands – which may be seen as an indication of their willingness to get rid of Fernandez, especially when their attempt to replace him with Monaco's Lamine Camara broke down – City might not have signed a third midfielder.
Instead, they completed a £326m revamp in the centre of the pitch. There were several pertinent elements. The £116m buy Elliot Anderson was always their first choice to replace captain Bernardo Silva, who was leaving when his contract expired and who then joined Real Madrid. City took added satisfaction from knowing some of their rivals wanted Anderson, including Manchester United.

The £85m arrival Ayyoub Bouaddi is seen as a player with the attributes to be world class and who, despite being only 18, is expected to play a lot of games this season. The Morocco international, who is studying for a maths degree, is regarded as belonging to the tradition of intelligent midfielders at City. Significantly, perhaps, City feel he is the only specialist No 6 in their squad.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly declined a major accommodation offer from Princess Diana's brother, Charles Spencer. For those unversed, as per multiple reports, the Sussexes flew privately from California to Birmingham on August 26. Harry and Meghan are reportedly staying in a private, non-royal home while retaining their Montecito and Portugal homes.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly refused accommodation offered by Princess Diana's brother, Charles Spencer. As per Rob Shuter's sources, Spencer proposed to the Sussexes the possibility of using The Falconry. Notably, it is the iconic 17th-century lodge on the Spencer family's Althorp Estate in Northamptonshire. However, Harry and Meghan reportedly rejected the offer from Spencer as it was too remote and not grand enough for their liking.
The source dished: "Harry was genuinely moved because Althorp will always be sacred ground to him. But Meghan took one look at the reality and knew it wouldn't work. Too remote, too far from London and, frankly, not nearly grand enough."
The source further explained that the ***** ss of Sussex has grand ambitions attached to her UK comeback and the house reportedly does not fit into the grand scheme of things.
An insider explained: "Meghan isn't moving back to Britain to hide away in an old lodge in Northamptonshire. She wants privacy, history and security — but she also expects serious luxury, substantial ***** e and easy access to London. This wasn't even close."
