Great Britain may have found their track star of the future. Meet Divine Iheme, the fastest 14-year-old in Britain and the world after the teenage sensation smashed the world record for his age group during an athletic meet at Lee Valley this week. Iheme ran an unthinkable 10.3 seconds, shaving off a staggering 0.21 seconds from the previous record, which was 10.51s, held by Jamaican Sachin Dennis.

Divine Iheme, perhaps the quickest teenage athlete on these shores at the tender age of just 14m, laid down a new milestone as he clocked a blistering 10.30s. 'Lightning' Divine was singled out as a likely track superstar of the future after recording UK best times for the 100m and 200m in April this year. He also beat his best 100m effort in June with a time of 10.65s and has crossed the line even faster, only to miss out on the record books due to wind-assisted races. However, his incredible feat at Lee Valley this week will go down in history. Iheme's red-hot time, which was confirmed on social media, was more than enough to beat the previous record held by Jamaican talent Sachin Dennis, a 10.51s.

The 2024 ESPY Awards featured plenty of striking looks on the red carpet at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, but the ceremony also featured some notable misses and looks that were downright disasters. The sports-themed awards ceremony was marred by red-carpet ensembles built around garish fabrics, incompetent cuts and unfortunate lapses in taste. Leading the worst-dressed stars was the model Taylor Laffey, who showed off a white dress that had a cartoonish hourglass figure cut into the bodice and a rippling skirt.

His statue has reportedly been quietly torn down amid mounting controversies surrounding USC founder Robert Widney's links to a violent group that carried out extrajudicial lynchings. The statue had been temporarily taken away for'maintenance and cleaning,' according to university of Southern California officials, but did not specify when it would be returned. Following the ceremonial plinth's deposition, it now appears that it was covertly deleted in the hopes of not drawing attention to their decision. Widney was a respected lawyer and judge, but his participation in the Home Guard Vigilance Committee in the late 1800s allegedly saw him murder Native Americans and people of color in extralegal lynchings. Widney's legacy for the Los Angeles Times in 2020 was determined to be a'most certainly' promoter of extrajudicial lynchings,' according to a professor and scholar at UC Merced.

In reaction to Nike's sponsorship agreement with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, a woman declared herself 'done with' clothing behemoth Nike and burned a sports bra made by the corporation. Mulvaney shared photos of herself on Instagram this week in what was described as a "paid relationship," sporting a Nike Women sports bra and leggings and going to a workout routine. Mulvaney's choice was tumultuous, partially because she is not an athlete and hasn't undergone gender-reassignment surgery. A TikTok user who goes by the name 'Chatterbox Mama' and who describes herself as a "Southern mama" screamed in the app, destroying her Nike sports bra and shaming Mulvaney's sponsorship.

Dylan Mulvaney, a trans influencer, has spoken out, saying, 'it's difficult to see the light now,' after being chastised for her Nike brace, striking back at opponents in a defiant song. The transgender influencer, 26, who worked with Nike to advertise its women's sportwear, sparked backlash from some who considered the relationship a "sad mockery of what being a woman entails." Mulvaney, who could have a $150,000 per post as a result of the arrangement, has had a fairly low profile until the article was posted on TikTok and Instagram.

Nike sparked backlash earlier this week by partnering with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney on its latest sports bra campaign, but this is not the first time the brand has been embroiled in controversy. Following multiple missteps, the sportswear behemoth has been plagued with a string of scandals over the years. Sneakers have been emblazoned with 'racist' flags, lawsuits about gender discrimination, and allegations of using slave labour. FEMAIL has avoided the worst scandals that have dogged the Nike to date.

Nike today doubled down (lower inset) on using a transgender influencer (right) to advertise its feminine clothing (left), informing customers calling for a boycott to 'be fair and inclusive'. Dylan Mulvaney, who identifys as female but has not undergone reassignment surgery, is the firm's tone-deaf response, which came as a result of women's concerns regarding him. Mulvaney - who uses the pronouns - was seen dancing in a Nike sports bra and leggings in paid social media posts.

Caitlyn Jenner is going after “woke” Nike because they dared to… pick a transgender influencer to promote their sports bras… Yes, transgender celeb Caitlyn Jenner, who herself bravely transitioned nearly a decade ago now — and is in fact maybe the most famous trans woman in the world — is slamming the sports apparel company for backing transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney with a new set of promos!WTF?!?!

Ms Davies (inset), who won silver for Team GB in the 400m individual medley of 1980 Moscow Olympics, has pointed out that Mulvaney is not an athlete. It's so frustrating.' We take two steps forward with World Athletics and Swim England to protect women's sport, and Nike does this,' she said. Mulvaney (main image) was seen wearing a white sports bra and two black leggings to pose yoga poses in a sunny backyard in the recent Nike posts on Instagram. To an upbeat song, the influencer then danced around barefoot doing workouts to an upbeat beat song. Mulvaney identifies herself as a woman and uses the pronouns "he/they," but has not undergone gender reassignment surgery.

Both Simone Biles and Allyson Felix left Nike after claiming that the organization did not include them as women. Their allegations have resurfaced after the appointment of transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. Mulvaney, 26, is not an athlete, but was given a Nike contract. The agreement was signed by a sports corporation that had been accused by several Olympic athletes of not'supporting' females.

Riley Gaines, the college swimming champion, has accused Nike of mistreating women in the company's turbulent relationship with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney. Gaines, an outspoken advocate for women in sport, told DailyMail.com that Nike was making a'sad joke of what being a woman entails' by recruiting Mulvaney to promote its women's sportswear line. As a former Olympic gold medalist and now a brand'selling their products by erasing women,' she led the campaign, which could earn Mulvaney $150,000 per post on Instagram.

Serena Williams, the former FLOTUS, led the tributes to the tennis legend after she opened the curtains on her illustrious career on Friday night. All good things must come to an end, and for Williams, or what seems to be the end - of one of the finest athletic careers in history - called Flushing Meadows on Friday night. Williams, 40, bowed out in the third round of the US Open, losing to Ajla Tomljanovic 5-7, 7-6, 1-6.
