WORLD RECORD

By BRENT STUBBS Chief Sports Editor bstubbs@tribunemedia.net

DEVYNNE Charlton

cemented her dominance of the women’s 60 metres hurdles, tying her world record for an unprecedented third consecutive title on Sunday at the World Indoor Championships in Kujawy Pomorze, Poland.

Charlton, one of two of the three Bahamians competing in the final on the final day of competition, cleared all five flights of hurdles in 7.65 seconds to match her previous world record of 7.65, set in Glasgow, Scotland, when she won her first world title.

Charlton, coming off her three-time World Athletics Indoor Tour championship title before she went to Poland, won her second title last year in Nanjing, China, with a season's best of 7.72.

Although she had a little stumble coming out of the blocks in lane six, Charlton was simply the best in the field as she gained control of the race from the first flight of hurdles and had everybody chasing her.

The 31-year-old did it in grand style as she pulled away from Netherlands' Nadine Visser, who did a season's best of 7.73 for the silver and Pia Skrzyszowska gave the home crowd something to cheer about as she ran a Polish national record of 7.73 for the bronze.

"It feels pretty good. I knew I had something like that in me," said Charlton in an interview in the mixed zone where she was draped with the Bahamian flag and a crown on her head.

"I just had to execute a good race. As it turned out, it was not so good as I stumbled at the start, but I was able to put it together and get the job done."

Denisha Cartwright, 26, got in some of the historic moments as she was the other Bahamian in the final, thanks to Charlton getting a bye as the defending champion.

Running out of lane one, she placed seventh

Devynne Charlton, 31, cements her dominance in 60 metre hurdles at the World Indoors

in her season’s best of 7.90 as she was sandwiched between American Alie Arrmstrong, sixth in a season’s best 7.86 and Germany's Larlene Meier in a PB in 7.90.  Switzerland's Ditaji Kambundji had a season’s best of 7.75 for fourth and Charlton's training partner Megan Simmonds from Jamaica was fifth in 7.82

to round out the competitive field of hurdlers in the last final before the much anticipated 4 x 400m relays.

With their performances, The Bahamas, with a five-member team in Poland, was 22nd on the Placing Table at the end of the championships.  Bahamas Association of Athletic Associations president Drumeco Archer

said he was so flabbergasted when he heard the news that he could only say in Bahamian dialect" "well mudda sick." Archer, who was in town attending the BAAA final CARIFTA trials at the original Thomas A. Robinson Track and Field Stadium, said Charlton's performance was one for the ages.

"I can't tell you how proud I am of Devynne," said Archer, adding that The Bahamas had a monumental task at the championships with Cartwright also in the final.

"So, we're not a fluke, as I've said before. We are the real deal and we tell the world this every time we step on the track. We want to send congratulations to both of our Golden Girls, Devynne and Denisha."

Both Charlton and Cartwright advanced to the final, but Charisma Taylor, also 26, was left as the last woman standing on the outside looking in with her ninth place overall.

Charlton, in winning her heat, posted the world's leading time of 7.74 to snatch the top spot coming out of the semifinals, while Cartwright, third in her heat, lowered her season's best to 7.90 for seventh place.  Taylor, fourth in her heat, ran her lifetime best of 7.91, but it was just shy of the eighth and final spot, which went to Germany's Marlene Meier in the same time for her personal best as well.

In the preliminary rounds, Charlton won her heat in 7.82 for the second fastest time going into the semifinals, while Cartwright and Taylor were both third in their heats in their season's bests of 7.96 and 7.97 for 15th and 18th respectively.

Kendrick Thompson, 28, completed the two-day seven-event competition with a lifetime achievement of 5,776 points for 10th place out of a field of 14 competitors. Simon Ehammer of Switzerland captured the gold with a world record breaking performance with 6,570 points, followed by a pair of Americans with Heath Baldwin taking the silver with 6,337 and Kyle Garland the bronze with 5,245. Thompson, competing in his first World Indoors, left his mark on the competition with a pair of personal bests and a season's best performance.  Thompson started the last day of competition on Saturday with fifth in the 60m hurdles with his PB of 7.91 sec. for 1,005 points, but fell to 12th place in the pole vault with a clearance of 14-51/4 (4.40m) for 731 points. But he made up for it with his eighth place in the 1,000m with another PB in 2:45.48 for 813 points as he closed out the competition well behind Ken Mullings' national record of 6,340 that he established in 2024.

On day one, Thompson was sixth in the 60m in 6.98 for 889 points for eighth overall. He came back in the long jump and cleared 24-1 (7.34m) for 896 points for seventh place.

Athletes get last chance to qualify for CARIFTA Games

By JONATHAN BURROWS Tribune Sports Reporter

THE final day of the BAAA CARIFTA Trials delivered exactly what it was supposed to, as the three-day meet concluded yesterday at the original Thomas A. Robinson National Stadium. The meet served as the final opportunity for athletes to meet CARIFTA qualifying standards.

The under-17 boys’ 200 metres delivered one of the best races as Zion Bradford of Freeport handled the race from start to finish, winning with a time of 21.87 seconds to qualify. Avonte Lotmore followed closely in 21.90, also securing qualification.

“I did alright with my execution, got a little dizzy on the straight, had to get it

together to come back and win the race. God is good because I was able to lock in the number one spot and qualify,” said Bradford.   In the under-20 boys’ 200 metres, Eagan Neely’s win carried added weight coming back from a recent injury, Neely ran 21.07 to take the title. It was a controlled and confident performance, serving as a timely reminder of his quality heading into team selection.

“The race was pretty good, it wasn't my best. I didn't get out how I would like to, but I still ended up taking the win, and I’m doing much better,” said Neely.

On the girls' side, Saige Demeritte made the biggest move of the day, entering the under-20 200 metres without the spotlight. She delivered a clean race to win with a time of 23.80. The result not only earned

her the win but also a qualifying mark, putting her firmly in the mix after flying under the radar.

“It was definitely a surprise. When I was warming up, I didn't feel the greatest, but I just prayed, and I thank God for this opportunity,” said Demeritte.

Alexis Roberts finised second with a time of 24.02 and Deryn Roberts third with a time of 24.32.

With trials complete, attention now turns to selection. Automatic qualifiers have done their part. Others will rely on consistency and depth across events. Either way, this meet made the decisions a whole lot clearer.

Marvin Rolle elected president

Long-time national team player and captain Marvin

Rolle was elected as president of the newly formed interim executive team of the Bahamas Lawn Tennis Association during an extraordinary general meeting on Saturday. The meeting was held following a notice of requisition for an EGM that was issued by the members to the honorary secretary dated February 18, 2026, and acknowledged by her on March 4, 2026, as having been received. While the honorary

secretary, having refused to call the EGM as required by the constitution, the members exercised their rights under the constitution and convened the EGM on the date and time stated above, after having given 14 days’ notice in writing, as required by the constitution.

At the extraordinary general meeting, a new board was elected to manage the affairs of the association until a duly convened annual general meeting was called in accordance with the constitution and

the orders of the court.

Along with Rolle, the other members of the board are vice president Philip (PJ) Major, honorary secretary Tara MacTaggart, assistant secretary Shena Bowleg, treasurer Chandra Ferguson and assistant treasurer Bernadette Major. Elected as councillors are Kweku Symonette, Jyles Turnquest, Alex Murbach, Patrick Fernander and Patti Symonette. Elected as NTC directors are Denise Mortimer and Valerie Rees.

"The members have spoken. We followed the

constitution and we had our extraordinary general meeting and I was elected president by the members," Rolle said. "At my left is Philip Major, who was elected as the first vice president."

Major Jr thanked the members for electing them to serve. "Today, at the National Tennis Centre was the first time in a long time that we witnessed our presence felt as members here on a Sunday and we look forward to continuing to serve our members and to create a better space for

tennis in The Bahamas," he said.

Turnquest, a councillor, said the new board represents the will of the tennis community and their desire for a revitalised association for their members and the tennis community.

The public is therefore notified that any other persons purporting to act with the authority and under the name of the BLTA have been removed from office and are no longer authorised to issue statements, conduct business or manage the affairs of the BLTA.

‘Boxing Policeman’ Ray Minus Sr laid to rest

By BRENT STUBBS Chief Sports Editor bstubbs@ tribunemedia.net

RAY Minus Sr, better known as the "Boxing Policeman," is remembered for his role as one of the top welterweight boxers in the country who went on to produce the "greatest boxing family."

Minus Sr, 84, was laid to rest on Saturday at St Agnes The Great Anglican Church's graveyard following his funeral service there, which was attended by a number of boxing personalities. He left behind two of his three sons, including Raynardo “The Terminator” Minus and Kenny “Lightning” Minus, who went on to become The Bahamas' heavyweight and middleweight champions respectively.

He was predeceased by Ray Minus Jr, who fought for three world titles, but held both the British Commonwealth and Bahamas' lightweight and bantamweight titles. Vincent Strachan, one of three persons paying tributes, said Minus Sr was an exceptional Androsian, who did more than many have and will ever do for the sport of boxing.

"For the sport of boxing, Ray Minus Sr kept the flame alive for The Bahamas for many years, even when he was out of the sport," Strachan said.

"He was still there encouraging those of us who are still there continuing in this great noble sport as a proud Androsian. There were many other Androsians out there like Boston Blackie, like Sonny Boy Rahming, who it didn't matter who your coach was, they helped." Strachan, who now serves as the president of the Boxing Federation of the Bahamas, said he learned a lot from Minus Sr and that lesson has helped to shape and mold his life today. "I want to

Man City dominates Arsenal to win English League Cup and make statement in Premier League title race

By JAMES ROBSON AP Soccer Writer

THE first major domestic trophy of the season is Manchester City 's. And after a dominant 2-0 win against Arsenal in the English League Cup final yesterday, it may not be the last.

Manchester-born Nico O’Reilly sealed victory with both goals in the second half at Wembley Stadium. The win could also have delivered a psychological blow in the race for the Premier League title as Pep Guardiola aims to chase down Arsenal’s ninepoint lead at the top of the standings.

“(It's an) unbelievable feeling to win a final and to beat this team. We know how good they are," O’Reilly told Sky Sports.

“We need to build on it now, it’ll give us momentum."

This was serial trophy-winner Guardiola flexing his muscles. It was his 16th major trophy as City manager and a record fifth League Cup. He has won 34 career titles as a manager including his time at Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

And, once again, he was stamping out Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta's own ambitions, having twice beaten his former assistant to the league title in recent years.

“I’m really pleased because I know the

opponent we played. Mikel created a team that is almost unbeatable," Guardiola said. "Every time you win a title it looks more difficult than in the past. It is really difficult for many reasons.”

Arsenal remains favourite to be crowned league champion this season for the first time since 2004, given its big lead. But with second-place City having a game in hand and the teams still to play each other in Manchester at the Etihad Stadium, the picture could look very different in the coming weeks.

City’s win also ended Arsenal’s bid this season for an unprecedented quadruple of major trophies by an English team - including the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup.

"I'm very sad. It is a very hard one to take, especially for our players and our supporters because we know how much it means to them and how much we want that," Arteta said.

“We will manage that energy in the right way and we have to go through that pain and disappointment. It's normal and it's part of football.”

The 21-year-old O’Reilly, who came through City’s academy, was the unlikely hero with both goals from left back.

He took advantage of Arsenal goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga's fumble to

head City in front on the hour. And he headed in a second four minutes later to effectively kill off the match.

“My whole family came down today (to watch) ... I know they’ll be buzzing and I can’t wait to see them,” O’Reilly said.

Arteta said he had no regrets about selecting Kepa — who had played in previous rounds — rather than first-choice David Raya.

Premier League crisis deepens for Tottenham

Tottenham’s Premier League survival fight was plunged deeper into crisis with a 3-0 loss to Nottingham Forest, one of three

league games played on Sunday.

The relegation six-pointer left Spurs one place and one point above the drop zone and raised further questions about the future of coach Igor Tudor.

“The season is tough, especially in this moment. Another very bad (result) for us,” said Tottenham captain Cristian Romero.

“The situation is tough, but most important thing is play (every game) like a final now.”

Ham at Aston Villa to keep it in the bottom three.

Tottenham - one of English soccer’s most iconic teams and a founding member of the Premier League - is still without a win in the top flight in 2026. Its last win was December 28 and it has lost six of its last seven games.

Igor Jesus’ header just before halftime gave Forest the lead at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Morgan Gibbs-White added a second just after the hour mark.

of its ever-present stay in England’s top division since the inception of the Premier League in 1992.

Tudor was hired last month to try to turn Spurs’ season around, but has lost five of his seven games in charge in all competitions and seen his team eliminated from the Champions League.

Tottenham remains one point above 18th-place West Ham, which lost 2-0 to Villa.

Villa boosted its chances of Champions League qualification and took advantage of all of its immediate rivals dropping points.

Villa is fourth, one point behind Manchester United and five points above fifthplace Liverpool.

Brian Brobbey struck in the 90th minute to give Sunderland bragging rights in the Tyne-Wear derby against Newcastle.

Brobbey’s close-range effort sealed a 2-1 comeback win at St. James’ Park and saw Sunderland complete a league double over its fiercest rival.

Earlier, the game had been halted due to a report of discriminatory abuse from the crowd towards Sunderland’s Lutsharel Geertruida.

Before kickoff, there had been tense scenes between fans outside the stadium. Northumberland police said one arrest was made.
