A California father has died from his wounds after shoving his family out of the path of a runaway car, taking the hit himself.

Kenya’s Sheila Chepkirui won the women’s race at the New York City Marathon on Sunday, pulling away from defending champion Hellen Obiri in the final mile.

"We are not positioning for an outcome in the election because it is a coin flip. It does not make sense to make a bet."

RONNIE O’Sullivan’s match against Mink Nuthcarut at the International Championship had to be delayed ‘for safety reasons.’

The Rocket beat the women’s world No1 6-3 in Nanjing, which included a stunning break of 132 in one frame.

However, the match was halted for nearly an hour.

O’Sullivan usually draws huge crowds wherever he plays, and that meant fans flooded the South New City National Fitness Center to see their hero in action.

Incredibly, the match on the main table in the morning session had to be cut short for the showpiece event.

World Snooker Tour shared on social media: “Due to the amount of spectators, for safety reasons the afternoon session has been delayed until 2:50pm.”

Once the game got underway, Eurosport commentator David Hendon revealed: “It actually started nearly an hour late because there was such a lot of people to get in, the previous session had to be curtailed. They had to get everybody in, it took a while.”

Before O’Sullivan and Mink took to the table, defending champion Zhang Anda was up against Ishpreet Singh Chadha.

Zhang led 5-4, until they were asked to leave the table and make way for the main event.

The International Championship moved to Nanjing this year for the first time.

And Jiangsu city clearly has plenty of snooker fans, because it wasn’t just O’Sullivan who drew in a huge crowd.

Over on table two, there were plenty in watching world champion Kyren Wilson thrash Mitchell Mann 6-0.

Many thought O’Sullivan, who has been struggling for form, would beat Mink with ease.

However, after winning the first frame – she was full of confidence and made it tough for O’Sullivan at one stage as he led 4-3.

However, the seven-time world champion won the last two frames with breaks of 69 and 132 to seal victory.

After the game, O’Sullivan praised locals for their interest.

He said: “Best tournaments in the world, the fans are amazing, we’re supported really well, you only have to look at this venue, how great it is, the facilities, it’s beautiful.

“We’re happy to be here, all the players love being here, we’re treated very well. So it’s a pleasure for all of us to come here and play in China for all of the events, you really make us feel special, which is all the snooker players ask for. Well we don’t even ask for that, but you offer your wonderful hospitality which is gratefully appreciated.”

Now it seems she’s ready for an even bigger project with the broadcaster.

When asked by the Sun’s TV mag if she would ever take on the job of hosting Love Island, Olivia admitted she would be thrilled to, but made it clear that would only happen on one condition.

She shared: “People do always ask me this, so let’s say this before this gets twisted – Maya Jama is crushing it.

“She’s the right host, 100 percent. If she ever didn’t want to do it and asked me, of course I’d do it.

“That show changed my life, how could I say no?

“I have such an emotional connection to that show and the people that make it.

“Even if I had some reason, I couldn’t turn it down because my heart would feel like: ‘I’m going home! Back to the mother ship!’

“So if that day ever comes, consider me available.”

Maya was revealed as the new Love Island host in October 2022, after Laura Whitmore quit the job.

The presenter has been adored by fans ever since she got involved with the role.

She really showed her professionalism when she managed to host the most recent season of the dating show while going through a public split with her on and off rapper boyfriend Stormzy.

Meanwhile, Olivia is forging her own future as a presenter and has hinted that her own ITV show will be greenlit for a second series.

She first rose to fame one of the earliest seasons of Love Island, albeit as a contestant.

Olivia came in third place on the reality show alongside her boyfriend Chris Hughes in 2017.

The couple sadly called it quits one year later in an episode of their own spin-off show, Crackin’ On.

Blackburn failed in a bid for Aasgaard, 22, in the summer but Stoke are likely to top their offer and get closer to the valuation.

City have been scouting in Ukraine recently and are planning an offer to keep Tom Cannon in January when his loan from Leicester is reviewed.

Narcis Pelach’s side were in Championship action yesterday.

The Potters took on newly-promoted Derby County at Bet365 Stadium.

Cannon got Stoke off to a perfect start, netting from the penalty spot on nine minutes.

Derby went on to level in the 68th minute courtesy of Viktor Johansson’s own goal.

Stoke left it late to grab all three points, with Ben Gibson scoring the winner eight minutes from time.

After his side’s win, Pelach told the BBC: “I was very pleased with the goal. We have worked a lot on set-plays. When I was with Huddersfield, we were the best team in the league.

“We scored 22 goals from set-plays by keeping it very simple but being very aggressive.

“We wanted to be more aggressive than them. We want to be this strong team that scores with wide free-kicks and set-plays.

“I am really pleased. When you watch the goal back we are nasty. We put the ball into the six-yard box and we get good contact with it.

“I am pleased that our captain has scored it after the mistake for their goal.

“We were the better team. We deserved to win.

“We scored a nice goal with some really good play which resulted in the penalty, but for me the most important thing was coming back mentally from the goal we conceded.”
