Sophie Woods Sets 29-Day Via Alpina Record Across the Alps

New Zealand-born ultra-runner Sophie Woods completed the 2,000km Via Alpina across eight Alpine countries in 29 days, setting a new fastest-known time and beating the previous 35-day record. She battled heatwaves, storms, horseflies and wildfires that forced a detour, running up to 15–18 hours daily with team support and fueling on McDonald’s, pasta and energy gels. Woods credits mental resilience and plans to rest and Netflix afterward.

Beau Greaves breaks barriers with historic PDC ranking title in tight 8-7 win

Beau Greaves became the first woman to win a PDC ranking title by defeating Michael Smith 8-7 in the Milton Keynes Players Championship 11 final, sealing victory with a 142 checkout in the deciding leg after a run that included beating Rob Cross and Gary Anderson. She also notched a 170 checkout in leg nine and finished with about 80% checkout efficiency and a 96.49 average. The 22-year-old's year has featured a 114-match win streak on the PDC Women’s Series and the first nine-dart finish on the PDC ProTour. Other notable results included Luke Humphries’ third-round exit to Max Hopp, with several top players absent as the tour hosts 34 events ahead of a Minehead final in late November; Greaves sits fifth in the order of merit.
