Despite finishing sixth at the 2015 London Marathon (2:24:23 hours), Sumgong, 31, made the Kenyan team for the 2015 IAAF World Championships in Beijing, China and to run 2:27:42 and lose out on the battle for bronze that went to Bahrain’s former compatriot Eunice Jepkirui by only three seconds, reports Xinhua.

Razor wire? Yes, razor wire. In late spring, I strung coils of the nasty stuff along my back fence, and now summer feels lousy. I had fantasies of my sun-phobic family’s unused yard being a country club for neighborhood kids; instead it looks like a very grim place. Putting up an I-mean-business emblem like razor wire is the only solution to a dilemma that has confounded me every one of the seven summers I’ve lived in this house....

HOUSTON (Reuters) - Security in Houston, America’s fourth-largest city, is tight ahead of Sunday’s Super Bowl 51, though officials have vowed to support peaceful demonstrations against President Donald Trump’s executive order restricting entry to the United States for travelers from some Muslim-majority nations.

Mohun Bagan is undoubtedly one of India’s most prominent football clubs ever. However, the recent dip in form for Bagan has hurt them badly.
