Track Records

Sawe smashed the men’s world record by 65 seconds in winning the London Marathon in 1 hour, 59 minutes and 30 seconds.

Here's a list of other notable milestones in world athletics and where the records stand now:

100 meters

U.S. sprinter Jim Hines became the first man to officially break the 10-second barrier in the 100 meters in 1968.

The current world record in the 100 belongs to Usain Bolt, whose time of 9.58 seconds came in 2009.

200 meters

American runner Tommie Smithwas the first man to break 20 seconds in 1968, with a time of 19.83 seconds.

Bolt has the current record with 19.19 seconds, also from 2009.

In between, Michael Johnson ran 19.32 at the Atlanta Games in 1996. Noah Lyles ran 19.31 in 2022 to take the iconic U.S. record from Johnson.

400 meters

Czech runner Jarmila Kratochvilova became the first woman to break 48 seconds in the 400 meters (47.99) in 1983. Two years later, East Germany's Marita Koch bettered that with a run of 47.60 that is still the world record.

Last year, America's Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone became the first woman since the Eastern Bloc era tocrack 48 when she ran 47.78 at world championships.

McLaughlin-Levrone, who has lowered the record in the 400 hurdles by more than 2 seconds to 50.37 since 2021, has put the 50-second mark in that event in her sights.

Mile

Britain's Roger Bannister became the first person torun the mile in under four minutesin 1954.

The then-Oxford University medical student overtook the second of his pacemakers on the final lap of the race on Oxford’s Iffley Road track to finish in 3 minutes, 59.4 seconds.

Since then, more than 1,000 athletes have run the mile in under four minutes, according to World Athletics. The current record dates to 1999: 3:43.13 by Morocco's Hicham El Guerrouj.

Long jump

One of the most amazing world records in track and field history came in 1968, when Bob Beamon jumped 8.90 meters (29 feet, 2 1/4 inches) at the Mexico City Olympics.

That mark has been broken once — in 1991 by Mike Powell, whose jump of 8.95 meters (29 feet, 4 1/4 inches) is among the oldest in the athletics record book.

Jimmy Kimmel defends himself after Donald and Melania Trump call for his firing

Jimmy Kimmel has responded to Donald and Melania Trumpcalling on Monday for ABC to fire himin the wake of the late-night comic making a joke last week in which he described the first lady as having "the glow of an expectant widow."

CBS News CBS News

The remark about the president's wife was part of a routine on Thursday's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" in which he pretended to deliver a comedy routine at the then-upcoming White House Correspondents' Association dinner.

That eventtwo nights later was cut shortwhen a man armed with guns and knives tried to enter the Washington ballroom where the Trumps and much of the nation's political leadership had gathered.

"People like Kimmel shouldn't have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate," Melania Trumpsaid in a social media postlater echoed by her husband. ... "Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand."

In apost on his Truth Social platformMonday afternoon, Mr. Trump called Kimmel's joke a "despicable call to violence" and said "this is something far beyond the pale. Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC."

Kimmel described the joke during his Monday night monologue as being about the Trumps' age difference, calling it "a very light roast joke about the fact that he's almost 80 and she's younger than I am. It was not by any stretch of the definition a call to assassination. And they know that.

"I've been very vocal for many years speaking out against gun violence, in particular. But I understand that the first lady had a stressful experience over the weekend. ... And also, I agree that hateful and violent rhetoric is something we should reject. I do. And I think a great place to start to dial that back would be to have a conversation with your husband about it."

After noting that all Americans have a right to free speech, Kimmel said, "I am sorry that you and the president and everyone in that room on Saturday went through that. I really am. Because no one got killed doesn't mean it wasn't traumatic and scary. And we should come together. ... But do you want us to believe that a joke I made three days before this dinner had any effect on anything that happened (Saturday night)?"

CBS News has reached out to ABC for comment.

Prior Trump-Kimmel clash

Kimmel was pulled from the airfor several nights in September after being criticized by conservatives, including Mr. Trump, for his remarks in the aftermath of theCharlie Kirk assassination. Kimmel had said that America "hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it."

Kimmel did not issue a blanket apology for the remarks, but he did say he could see how they were offensive to some. Whenhe returned to the air on Sept. 23, he said it was "not my intention to blame any specific group for the actions of what was obviously a deeply disturbed individual," referring to the alleged gunman, who is in custody pending trial.

His late-night competitor, Stephen Colbert, another frequent Trump critic, is seeing his CBS show end next month.

More criticism of Kimmel's joke

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Kimmel's Thursday joke was part of a campaign of rhetoric from Democrats and some in the media that "has helped to legitimize this violence."

"Who in their right mind says a wife would be glowing over the potential murder of her beloved husband?" Leavitt said. There was no indication that Kimmel was referring to violence.

The National Religious Broadcasters association filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission, asking the agency to investigate ABC.

"We're seeing a pattern of violence in this country that didn't appear overnight," said Troy Miller, NRB's president and CEO. "When influential voices joke about death or treat political opponents as disposable, it contributes to a culture where violence feels thinkable to the already unstable."

Employee testifies against owners of Dominican club where roof collapse killed 236

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) — A former employee of a popular nightclubwhose roof collapsed a year agoand killed 236 people told a judge Monday that the owners were fully aware the structure was deteriorated.

Associated Press

Gregory Adames testified against siblings Antonio and Maribel Espaillat, who are accused of involuntary manslaughter and involuntary assault and battery following the collapse at the legendary Jet Set club in Santo Domingo.

“They knew because I sent them photos, I sent them videos of all the problems that were there. That shouldn’t have happened; not a single person should have died there,” Adames said.

Attorneys for the victim’s families asked in court for the siblings to be accused of voluntary manslaughter.

“We hope that happens,” Jean Carlos Martínez Segura, who represents nine families, told The Associated Press.

The potential prison sentence is up to 20 years for voluntary manslaughter but is two years for involuntary manslaughter.

Monday’s court hearing is expected to continue Friday, with a judge eventually deciding whether there’s enough evidence to hold a trial.Relatives of the victimshave complained about delays and slow judicial proceedings.

Prosecutors have said hundreds of pieces of evidence implicate the siblings, whowere arrestedlast June.

Miguel Valerio, the Espaillats’ attorney, told reporters after their arrests: “Nobody wanted that to happen.”

Prosecutors have accused the Espaillats of trying to intimidate or manipulate employees. Antonio Espaillat is considered a powerful businessman who owns upscale entertainment centers and dozens of local radio stations.

Hundreds of people including many high-profile Dominicans were at the nightclub for a concert on April 8, 2025, when the roof collapsed. Those who died includedsinger Rubby Pérez; Nelsy Cruz, the governor of Montecristi province and sister of Major League Baseball All-Star Nelson Cruz; and former MLB pitcherOctavio Dotel. More than 100 people were injured in the collapse and rescuersworked around the clockto pull out survivors.

Lady Gaga and Doechii Release Fashion-Packed Music Video ‘Runway’ for “The Devil Wears Prada 2”

Lady Gaga and Doechii collaborated for the first time on the song "Runway"

People

NEED TO KNOW

  • The new song is the first track from The Devil Wears Prada 2 soundtrack

  • The Parris Goebel-directed music video features avant-garde fashion and nods to the movie's fictional magazine Runway

Lady GagaandDoechiiwere "born for the runway."

The two Grammy winners collaborated on the new track, "Runway," and released the music video on Monday, April 27. Their joint track is the first piece of music to be revealed as part ofThe Devil Wears Prada 2soundtrack. The new track was written by Gaga,Bruno Mars, Jaylah Hickmon, Andrew Watt, Henry Walter, Dernst “D'Mile” Emile II and Jayda Love.

The Parris Goebel-directed music video kicks off with the pair sewn into the same oversized red blazer, wearing matching black ties and white button-downs, with matching straight hair. They then lip-sync to the song's intro, saying, "No matter what, no matter what/ You got to strut."

The music video launches audiences into the world of avant-garde fashion as Gaga sings "Walk, I'm feeling fab/ I'm feeling free, I feel exceptionally me/ Hate all you want, but I'm dangerous/ You gon' burn your tongue on this tea/ Might show up late, might be on time/ Just wait, I'm coming, kiki/ This paparazzi routine/ Bitch, I came to be seen."

Lady Gaga and Doechii in

Then Gaga and Doechii coordinate in high-fashion, 18th-century-inspired ballgowns paired with dramatic makeup and perfectly askew hair looks.

Doechii raps about taking on the runway in the pre-chorus, "Yes, serve a little sass/ Yes, with a little side of ass/ Yes, got the front row screaming/ Okay (Okay), okay (Okay)/ Yes, do a little twirl/ Yes, let 'em know I'm that girl/ Yes, Monday through Sunday/ I can turn a dance floor into a runway."

The singers then join together to serenade listeners about turning the dance floor into their own personal runways.

As the song comes to a close, the fashion-forward stars remind audiences one last time that they were "born for the runway."

"Pose/ I ain't scared of no cameras/ Born for the runway/ Sashay, Doech-ay/ Pose (Born for the runway)/ I ain't scared of no cameras/ Born for the runway/ Sashay, Gag-ay."

Lady Gaga in

The collaboration between Doechii and Lady Gaga marks their first together, but comes after the artists' repeated praise of one another. Gaga toldBritish Voguein July 2025 that she "fell in love" with the "DENIAL IS A RIVER" artist's music. “You don't often see someone come out of the gate with a pen that feels immediately legendary,” Gaga, 39, said.

In response,Doechii recalled for PEOPLEhow she "audibly gasped" at the comment. "I'm the biggest Lady Gaga fan," she said. "So for a legend like that to say that about me, it really, really validated me in a humbling way."

Along with the stylish stars coming together, the video also makes subtle nods to the upcoming movie — including the track's title, which matches the title of the famed fictional magazine. One of the opening sequences of the musicians showcasing their couture has the pair reading from "Runway," withEmily Blunt's character, Emily Charlton, on the cover.

Blunt reunites with original cast membersMeryl Streep,Anne HathawayandStanley Tuccifor the highly anticipated sequel. Director David Frankel and screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna also return for the follow-up to 2006's adaptation of Lauren Weisberger's novelThe Devil Wears Prada. The sequel sees Hathaway's journalist Andy and Streep's fashion editor Miranda Priestly reuniting amid changes in the modern fashion and journalism worlds.

Former Steelers coach Mike Tomlin says timing right for new leadership

Former Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said the timing was right for both him and the organization when he stepped down after 19 seasons without a losing record.

Field Level Media

Tomlin, who guided the Steelers to victory in Super Bowl XLIII in the 2008 season, told NBC on Sunday night in his first interview since resigning in January that the lack of postseason success -- no playoff wins since 2016 -- figured into what was a difficult decision.

"You know, it's probably not an overnight decision," said Tomlin, 54. "It's probably not something that I could articulate or share with people. There's a loneliness with leadership.

"I just thought it was a good time for me personally and by that, I mean, just where I am in life and I thought it was a good time for the organization, to be quite honest with you. We didn't have success in the playoffs in recent years and there's just some veteran players there, man, guys like Cam Heyward and T.J. Watt and (Chris) Boswell, man, that I thought that just were worthy of the excitement and the optimism of new leadership."

Tomlin will join NBC as an NFL pregame show analyst on "Football Night in America," the network officially announced on Sunday. The show airs ahead of "Sunday Night Football."

"I just thought it would be a great way to stay connected to the game and the awesome people in it, players, coaches, executives," Tomlin said, "and excited about doing that on Sunday night and traveling to different venues and getting that feel for the environment and lastly, I just thought it would be awesome to share insight with fellow football lovers.

"I love to talk football and so that's just an exciting component for me. I got to admit, though, there's going to be some anxiety about stepping into a new space, but good anxiety, it's good to be uncomfortable with the growth associated with that. I'm fired up about it."

The Steelers went 10-7 in 2025 with a 30-6 wild-card loss to the Houston Texans on Jan. 12. He was replaced by Pittsburgh native and veteran head coach Mike McCarthy in late January.

Tomlin guided the Steelers to the Super Bowl XLIII title with a 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in February 2009. Pittsburgh lost Super Bowl XLV to quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers, 31-25, in February 2011.

Tomlin posted a 193-114-2 record with Pittsburgh, tying him with Hall of Fame member Chuck Noll for the most regular-seasons win franchise history and ninth in NFL history. Noll also coached the Steelers (1969-91), with Bill Cowher (1992-2007) bridging the gap between Noll and Tomlin.

Rodgers, who played for McCarthy in Green Bay and with Tomlin last season, hasn't announced his intentions for 2026 -- return, retirement or something else. Tomlin predicted Rodgers, 42, will play his 22nd NFL season for the Steelers.

"Man, if you got a gun to my head, I'd say it's AR," Tomlin said. "I just think, Aaron, I just think being around him for the 12 months that I'm around him, he's got a love affair with the game of football and not only the game, but the process, the informal moments, the development of younger guys, the interaction with teammates. I think he has an addiction to that, and there's only one way to feed it. And certainly he is still capable and in really good shape. And so I think at the end of the day, he'll play football."
