Hello and welcome to … the new football season. It’s 2024-25, which has a ring to it, don’t you think? Let’s hope it’s as hard to predict as 1974-75, when Everton slipped on a series of banana skins, Liverpool stumbled, Derby squeezed past them both to win the league, and the second-division champions were Manchester United, hotly pursued by Aston Villa.

Back then Sheffield United were the sixth-best team in the land. Now they’re not just back in the second tier, they’re bottom of it. They start the season on minus two points after being penalised for defaulting on payments last time they found themselves at this level. So the good news is the only way is up. If they win at Preston tonight, and Derby manage a draw at Blackburn, United will go all the way from the bottom to the top (on goal difference).

You know how football clubs these days fork out colossal sums for questionable assets? Well, these two clubs may be the last of the small spenders.

After two years and eight months in charge, Lowe is now the second-longest-serving boss in the division, behind Mark Robins of Coventry.

The Blackburn targets have simply been proven on Sky and so they’re a superb bunch. “Their finest moments,” says Paul Heckingbottom, “ come once they’re courageous with their passes.” The identical is true of some groups. Down the highway at Deepdale, Sheffield United had a lot the stronger midfield, with Callum O’Hare, Ollie Arblaster and Gustavo Hamer all displaying their class.

Hi there and welcome to … the brand new soccer season. It’s 2024-25, which has a hoop to it, don’t you suppose? Let’s hope it’s as laborious to foretell as 1974-75, when Everton slipped on a collection of banana skins, Liverpool stumbled, Derby squeezed previous them each to win the league, and the second-division champions had been Manchester United, hotly pursued by Aston Villa.

Again then Sheffield United had been the sixth-best group within the land. Now they’re not simply again within the second tier, they’re backside of it.

In line with Transfermarkt, Preston have forked out simply £710,000 over the summer season. They blew the lot on Stefan Teitur Thordarson, a daily in central midfield for Iceland.

Jonathan Edwards: “It’s not impossible my world record could go”

The 2000 Olympic triple bounce champion believes his long-standing mark of 18.29m could also be damaged in Paris

It’s not usually you break two world information within the area of 20 minutes however Jonathan Edwards did simply that on the 1995 World Championships in Gothenburg.

Within the build-up to these championships, Edwards had added one centimetre to Willie Banks’ 10-year-old world report of 17.97m in Salamanca and regarded in imperious kind.

In Gothenburg he produced a string of jumps which might be nonetheless talked about to today, recording marks of 18.16m and 18.29m, with the latter nonetheless standing because the world report.

Edwards’ mark of 18.16m was the third greatest in historical past till the latest European Championships, the place Spain’s Jordan Alejandro Díaz Fortún – initially of Cuba – jumped 18.18m.

With present Olympic champion Pedro Pichardo having additionally jumped 18.04m this season, it means the triple bounce closing in Paris might be one of many occasions of all the Video games.

Kenny Harrison’s 18.09m from Atlanta 1996 continues to be the Olympic report however, such is the calibre of competitors that speak of the likes of Díaz or Pichardo surpassing Edwards’ 18.29m is within the air.

Forward of the Olympic triple bounce closing, we caught up with the 2000 Olympic champion at PUMA Home in Paris on whether or not he thinks his report might be damaged and what profitable gold in Sydney 24 years in the past meant to him.

Jonathan Edwards (Mark Shearman)

What are your ideas on the Olympic males’s triple bounce closing? 

I feel it will likely be a really sturdy closing. It’ll most likely be the perfect for a lot of years, since Christian Taylor was at his peak. I keep in mind he jumped 18.21m on the 2015 World Championships in Beijing and that was unimaginable.

We noticed a little bit of a preview of this closing on the European Championships in Rome, the place Pedro Pichardo and Jordan Díaz confirmed they’re in nice kind. Then there may be [Jamaican] Jaydon Hibbert and I’ve been watching him from afar doing these loopy distances off a brief method. He’s an unimaginable expertise and, though he has a number of niggles, I’m actually wanting ahead to seeing him bounce. [World champion] Hugues Fabrice Zango can be leaping properly. If all of them push one another, then it may result in one thing fairly particular.

You’ve acquired one of many longest standing world information in observe and discipline. Do you suppose that’s below menace tonight? 

It’s not inconceivable it may go. You’ve seen how far Díaz jumped in Rome and Pichardo is over 18m as properly. It relies on situations and the wind may have a huge effect. If there’s a slight headwind then they received’t break the world report but when they’ve an aiding wind and the competitors actually hots up then it’s actually not out of the query.

Pichardo, I feel, is the category of the sphere. He’s the reigning Olympic champion and is aware of learn how to get it achieved, which is so necessary in an Olympic closing. You then’ve acquired Jaydon on the different finish, who is just not even 20 years outdated and that is his first Video games, so it’s an enormous step up for him. The competitors will probably be fierce and [the world record being broken is] not out of the query.

Why do you suppose your world report has lasted so lengthy?

I’m requested that rather a lot, for apparent causes, and the reply is that I don’t know. There are 4 males’s discipline occasion world information from the Nineties which might be nonetheless standing. You’ve acquired Mike Powell within the lengthy bounce, Javier Sotomayor within the excessive bounce, Jan Železný within the javelin after which myself within the triple bounce.

There’s one argument that I take advantage of, and it doesn’t fully maintain true as a result of it’s not the case throughout all of the occasions, however I feel there are such a lot of extra choices for proficient sportsmen and sportswomen to earn more money now. I feel the expertise pool going into observe and discipline is smaller in order that’s the one factor that I can consider, other than the truth that it’s a fantastic report!

There’s this explosion in know-how and also you’ve undoubtedly seen that in observe occasions. If you introduce it in discipline occasions, sure it’s about tools and that may enable you, nevertheless it’s concerning the technical facet and the power of the person.

There’s a pair of the spikes that I wore once I broke the world report on the PUMA archive and they’re large, heavy and inflexible. They now look historic! Nevertheless, they labored for me. I used to be clearly physiologically very suited to the triple bounce and that’s what made the largest impression.
