How British skeleton left the world in its tracks with golden Winter Olympics haul | Andy Bull

Big investment in coaches and kit – £5.8m in the last cycle – has paid off despite lack of facilities and snow at home

According to the British Bobleigh and Skeleton Federation, 3,500 people have signed up to audition for their skeleton Talent ID programme in the past three days, an extraordinary surge of interest in what has never been what you might call the most accessible sport.

It is all after Matt Weston and Tabby Stoecker won Great Britain’s 10th and 11th Olympic medals in the sport, continuing a lineage that reaches back to 1928, when it was the winter sport of choice for the most reckless of a set of aristocratic adventurers. The 11th Earl of Northesk won bronze ahead of his teammate, and the pre-race favourite, Lord Brabazon of Tara. It is some legacy. After a century of competition, skeleton is the only Winter Olympic sport in which Britain lead the all-time medal table.

Obama esclarece que 'não há evidências' de que ETs existam e esclarece entrevista que viralizou

Barack Obama durante fala em comídio democrata em Newark, Nova Jersey, no sábado (1°) Kylie Cooper/Reuters O ex-presidente Barack Obama, dos Estados Unidos, desencadeou um verdadeiro frenesi no fim de semana ao afirmar que, sim, existem extraterrestres. Em entrevista ao jornalista Brian Tyler Cohen, o democrata se permitiu uma resposta jocosa sobre o mistério e uma das teorias da conspiração que o acompanham. Depois, se viu forçado a esclarecer a brincadeira diante da enxurrada de questionamentos da imprensa e de internautas. "Eles são reais, mas eu não os vi, nem eles estão sendo mantidos na Área 51", disse o presidente inicialmente. As perguntas e respostas curtas faziam parte do formato de entrevista proposto pelo podcast do qual Obama participava. "Não há nenhuma instalação subterrânea, a menos que exista uma enorme conspiração e que a tenham escondido do presidente dos Estados Unidos," prosseguiu. Grandes veículos de imprensa repercutiram a declaração, reportando que um ex-chefe da Casa Branca acreditava em alienígenas. Obama, então, soltou uma nota para conter os danos. "Eu estava tentando manter o espírito da rodada rápida (da entrevista}, mas como isso chamou a atenção, deixe-me esclarecer. Estatisticamente, o universo é tão vasto que as chances de haver vida lá fora são boas", disse ele. "Mas as distâncias entre os sistemas solares são tão grandes que as chances de termos sido visitados por alienígenas são baixas, e não vi nenhuma evidência durante minha presidência de que extraterrestres tenham entrado em contato conosco. É verdade!" Veja os vídeos que estão em alta no g1 O que é a Área 51? Um dos motivos que tornaram a brincadeira de Obama explosiva foi a existência de uma teoria da conspiração sobre a chamada Área 51. É este o nome popular para uma base aérea dos EUA no deserto de Nevada, perto de Las Vegas. Não se sabe ao certo quais atividades acontecem no local, mantido sob um forte esquema de vigilância e supostamente destinado a testes de voo. Diversas teorias já emergiram nas últimas décadas, e as mais famosas incluem que a base serve para observação de extraterrestres ou de objetos voadores não identificados. Os entornos da base já viraram, inclusive, ponto turístico para curiosos, de acordo com a imprensa local. A longevidade do mistério já provocou até mesmo convocatórias nas mídias sociais para que a população tentasse invadir a Área 51. Em 2025, um general da Força Aérea disse sobre o caso que "a nação tem segredos" que "merecem ser protegidos", de acordo com o site especializado Military.com.

Are we all Evangelos Marinakis? Why there has never been less patience with managers | Jonathan Wilson

In an age in which every gripe is highlighted and performative fury is good business, there is an argument that long-termism has become impossible

• Sign up for Soccer with Jonathan Wilson here

Last week, Thomas Frank was sacked as manager of Tottenham and Sean Dyche was sacked as manager of Nottingham Forest. Both decisions were entirely explicable in their own terms. Frank had won only two of his previous 17 league games and Dyche only two of his previous 10. Both saw the improvement of West Ham under Nuno Espírito Santo and felt the drag of potential relegation. When fear sets in and something has to change, football tends to sacrifice the manager.

Excluding caretakers and interims, their departures take the number of Premier League managers to leave their jobs this season to eight, with Oliver Glasner to come at the end of the season, when Marco Silva and Andoni Iraola are also out of contract. Last season there were 10 departures, in 2023-24 nine, in 2022-23 an absurd 18. To give a little context, in the first season of the Premier League, 1992-93, there were only four changes (five if you include Dave Webb at Chelsea, who was effectively an interim, although he did not officially have that title). The average life span of a Premier League manager has dropped from about four seasons to about a season and a half.
