French mountain guides Mathéo Jacquemoud (35 years old) and Samuel Equy (29 years old) set a new speed record this Saturday for the round trip between Chamonix and the summit of Mont Blanc, at an altitude of 4,806 meters. The duo completed the route on foot and on skis in 4 hours, 41 minutes, and 24 seconds, improving by two minutes the record held by Italian William Boffelli since the end of May 2025.
A team of 21 Sherpas has finished equipping, this morning, a route through the Khumbu Icefall to Everest Camp 1 which, according to news from Nepal, avoids exposing expedition members to the serac. In this way, the more than 400 people from all over the world, and a similar number of Sherpas, could begin acclimatization rounds in the coming days, ascending to the high camps as they are set up. The news has been received as a balm by the companies and their clients, after days of tension and nervousness due to the threat of the unstable ice mass, in the middle of high season.
Europa and Sant Andreu will not share a stadium next season in Primera Federación. Can Dragó was not the ideal solution. Barcelona City Council has found a solution and will install natural grass in the municipal stadiums of Narcís Sala and Nou Sardenya, with the aim of adapting to the regulations that prevent playing in the third category of Spanish football on artificial turf fields.
While awaiting the harsh sanction that Real Zaragoza goalkeeper, Esteban Andrada, will face for the brutal punch he dealt to SD Huesca player, Jorge Pulido, which has gone viral worldwide, the Aragonese club also wanted to express this Monday its “absolute disagreement” with the refereeing performance of official Dámaso Arcediano, “especially due to the disparate criteria” in decisions made in both areas. “It clearly and directly conditioned the result,” they add in a statement.
Hundreds of expedition members are waiting for the gigantic and unstable block of ice, which prevents a minimally safe route from being traced through the Khumbu Glacier to Everest Camp 1 in Nepal, to collapse. The official team of Sherpas who inspected the area in the last few hours has concluded that it is not prudent to proceed with equipping the itinerary until the serac collapses, according to Everest Today. In an effort to find a solution as soon as possible, the prominent guide Mingma G has announced that a group of Sherpas from his company, Imagine Nepal, and other agencies has explored a possible alternative route in the Khumbu to Camp 1, which they could not complete due to adverse weather conditions.
No Clásico but with World Cup. Lamine Yamal misses the final stretch of the League but will arrive in time to play the World Cup with Spain. The footballer, with a muscle tear, will not play again in the six remaining matchdays, including the Barça-Real Madrid on May 10, but is expected to be recovered to join the national team at the end of May. Spain does not debut against Cape Verde until June 15.
Lamine Yamal left the field suffering from muscle discomfort in his left thigh just after converting the penalty, in the 40th minute, with which his team sealed the three points. The Rocafonda native suffers a tear in the hamstrings of his left leg and could miss the six remaining matches until the end of the season. He left sad and dejected.
Lamine Yamal caused the penalty by Yoel Lago, he was in charge of taking it, converted it, and got injured during the shot. Penalty, goal, and injury. He didn’t even celebrate Barça’s 1-0 against Celta. The scare at Spotify Camp Nou was significant, as all attention on the pitch and in the stands focused on what was happening to the Blaugrana star. Initial examinations suggest a rupture. Tests will be conducted this Thursday to determine the actual extent of the injury. He could miss the remainder of the League (six matches). The World Cup starts next June 11, and in 53 days, on the 15th, the Spanish national team debuts against Cape Verde.
It was the last thing he did before getting injured but it proved fundamental. It was the last time he touched the ball but it was enough to secure a victory that leaves Barça with a nine-point lead in the championship when only eighteen remain. Lamine Yamal placed the ball on the penalty spot and scored. When he shot, he suffered a hamstring tear. A significant loss, but his teammates knew how to survive in the second half to secure a hard-fought, eventful, and worked triumph. Barça continues to count their home games in the League as victories, and that strength is a treasure.
A Real Madrid going through the motions, amidst a cold and indifferent atmosphere, remains hanging by a thread of hope in the League after defeating Alavés with goals from Mbappé and Vinícius, booed at the start, redeemed later, a bipolarity repeated ad nauseam this season at the Bernabéu, which at times doesn’t know what feeling to identify with its team (2-1).
