TORUN (ANP) - Nadine Visser heeft op de WK indooratletiek in het Poolse Torun de zilveren medaille behaald op de 60 meter horden. De 31-jarige atlete was in een spannende finale net iets langzamer dan Devynne Charlton van de Bahama's. De Poolse Pia Skrzyszowska greep het brons.
Visser klokte met 7,73 een tijd die iets boven haar Nederlands record van 7,72 seconden lag. Ze was 0,005 seconde sneller dan de Poolse. Charlton won in 7,65 en veroverde haar derde wereldtitel indoor op rij. Ze evenaarde haar eigen wereldrecord.
Visser scoorde in Torun al haar zesde medaille op het korte hordenummer. De 31-jarige Hoogkarspelse begon in 2018 met brons op de WK en haalde in de jaren erna twee keer goud (2019 en 2021) en twee keer zilver (2023 en 2025) op de EK indoor.
Wereldtop
Visser behoort al jaren tot de wereldtop in het hordelopen, maar is tot nog toe vooral succesvol geweest in de binnenhal. Tot haar grote ongenoegen heeft ze nog altijd geen medaille kunnen winnen in de buitenlucht op de 100 meter horden.
In de olympische finale van Parijs 2024 was de Noord-Hollandse er heel dichtbij. Ze werd vierde en kwam zeven honderdsten tekort voor een bronzen medaille. Ze liep ook drie WK- en drie EK-finales op de 100 meter horden, maar die leverden evenmin de door haar zo begeerde plak op.
ALMONTE (ANP) - Motorcrosser Jeffrey Herlings heeft bij de Grote Prijs van Andalusië in de MXGP genoegen moeten nemen met de tweede plaats. Herlings eindigde in beide manches op het circuit in het Spaanse Almonte als tweede achter de Belg Lucas Coenen.
Herlings had de eerste race in Argentinië nog gewonnen voor Coenen, maar moest nu in beide manches veel tijd prijsgeven op de Belg.
Kay de Wolf eindigde na een tiende en achtste plaats als zevende. Calvin Vlaanderen werd achttiende en vijfde en in de eindstand negende.
It was 60 years ago when William Shatner — born in 1931 — portrayed Captain Kirk in the TV series Star Trek. Shatner turns 95 today — and celebrated by posting a picture of himself smoking a cigar.
"At 95, I'm still smokin'!" Shatner joked, adding that in life he'd learned two things. "Never waste a good cigar. Never trust anyone who says you should 'act your age.'"
For more celebrations, Paramount's free/ad-supported streaming platform Pluto TV announced a "Trek TV takeover birthday celebration" that will run through April 3rd, according to TrekMovie.com, with marathon of Star Trek movies and TV shows — and even that time he was roasted on Comedy Central. ("Freeâ½ My favorite price!" Shatner quipped on X.com.)
Shatner still remains a popular celebrity, even travelling to space five years ago on a Blue Origin flight past the Kármán line. Since then he's led a cruise to Antarctica — and even performed an alternate take of Captain Kirk's final scene on the Jimmy Fallon show.
And this week Shatner (along with hundreds of thousands attendees) appeared at Orlando's MegaCon — and shared stories about his life with Orlando Weekly:
Shatner: Last month, I was on board a cruise ship, and they said the only thing I had to do over the next three days, "before we let you go home," is sing "Rocket Man." So I thought, "I'm not going to sing 'Rocket Man' the same way that what's-his-name did. ... So, I looked at the song very carefully to see if I could find what actors call a throughline. What is the character signing? What is he signing about? And so I look through all of these weird lyrics, and all of a sudden, the word sticks out to me: "alone." So I say to the band members, "OK, let's make this song about being alone in space." And I work on it with the band and the musicians, and again on a Saturday night, I perform the number, and 4,000 people stand up and applaud "Rocket Man." And they won't let me off the stage, again and again. Four times, I get a standing ovation, wild.
And that's the progression for me, of science fiction for me, as exemplified by this song. The song went from superficial to something of depth and meaning... It touched people enough for them to stand up and applaud, and I realized that is the story of science fiction... Science fiction with all its great technology has evolved into great storytelling that reaches people in a manner that is very difficult for other types of drama to do.
Shatner answered questions from Slashdot readers in 2002 ("My life is my statement...") and again in 2011. ("I used to try to assemble computers way back when and they came out looking like a skateboard...")
And judging by his X.com posts, Shatner is now involved in early testing of the site's upcoming digital payment system X Money.

Once choked in weeds, locals celebrate mud coming back to wetland.
An invasive weed planted decades ago quickly spread across Tasmania's north-west, choking mudflats and wildlife habitat. Now, those involved in a long-running effort to wipe it out are seeing real results.
Keely Hodgkinson caps famous night for British team
Georgia Hunter Bell and Molly Caudery also take glory
Shortly before 8pm here in Torun, Georgia Hunter Bell, Molly Caudery and Keely Hodgkinson were jumping in delight and pure delirium after what was undoubtedly the greatest 29 minutes for Britain in world indoor athletics championship history.
Not one gold medal. Not two. But three. All in under 30 minutes. And as they waved the Union Jacks above their heads, and a phalanx of photographers crowded around them, you couldn’t blame them and the British fans in the crowd for getting more than a little giddy.
